    Neck looks spot on. It's only a little sticker and was for basses sold in 96. Yours might be earlier or someone's taken the sticker off. What's the neck end and pocket like?
  2. Muppet
    Here's mine. Looks like I have a 96 neck and a 95 body. This is genuine as I bought it new. steve

    String through is normally USA or Japanese. The neckplate would say Fender Corona I think for mid 90s. The neck pocket and the neck would have a inked stamp on them that should match. I've got one somewhere in the house, I'll go find it and check. steve

    Do you have an idea of the year it's from? Serial number will be on the front or back of the headstock or on the neckplate. Then we can look at other bits steve

    Thanks for the replies. Bass has twin humbuckers, both on, amp was Markbass CMD121P. Yes the rope light was there previously. I did just switch it off and problem went away. I'm happy to think the issue was with the power and the rope light transformer rather than the amp and bass but you never know!

    Does every band that is playing have to provide their own PA? That would be a nightmare. Normally with this sort of thing the organiser should really provide the PA and all bands use that.

    I read the thread properly if you are referring to me. I was commenting on the fact that you answered a question posted in 2012 (you even quoted in in your post) and I would have hoped that the person asking the question would have received an answer before now. Oh well, these things happen when old thread get resurrected.

    All being well, I will be coming a knocking later in the week! steve

    At Friday's gig the venue had a rope light around the stage that was set on a fading pattern. Until I asked them to switch it off there was a terrible buzz coming through my rig, especially during the fading up and down part of the sequence. The lights and amp were plugged in to different sockets. I've played here before with no problems but this time with a different rig and bass. Is this an indication of something wrong with either bass or amp that I need to look at do you think? steve

    It's a semi hollow rather than a full acoustic so has a centre block. I've had no feedback issues whatsoever, and much of the resonance of a hollow is retained so works for me. The Fender Coronado Reissue is the same. steve

    Are you sure the ones in it now are the originals? All three originally were Groove Tubes. I swapped mine out but I can't remember what for. I asked t eguys at Watford Valves and they recommended some for me.

    You're talking £1,500 or so for an original Coronado II, not sure that they're worth that. The reissues are fun though as are the Starcasters. You've also got Gibson Midtown or the Les Paul? Ibanez Artcore? Italia or Hagstrom... lots around. I guess if you have a particular sound in your head then you have to go out and try some!

    The Coronado with the single pickup was the Coronado I - the Coronado II always had two pickups. The reissues are semi hollow, the originals are hollow body (feedback joy). What's your budget and minimum spec? steve
  15. Muppet
    Maybe the pins can be blunted at the end, like a blind rivet, so that they don't fall out of the ends? steve
  16. Muppet
    Is there an obvious fault in how the pins attach the handle to the case? steve

    [quote name='sk8' timestamp='1432644183' post='2783485'] Mine is being delivered in person tonight [/quote] Who did you have to sleep with to get that level of service?! I have to wait until tomorrow!

    [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1432629176' post='2783294'] Actually, the OP plays with bass almost completely off but still has a bass heavy sound? [/quote] I read it more that he's rolled off the tone control on his bass, rather than rolled off the bass frequencies. Whatever the rights and wrongs, I think the OP is fighting an uphill battle if his bandmates don't like the sound!

    [quote name='Black Coffee' timestamp='1432583427' post='2783047'] Nice piece of kit this, always wanted to own one of these but I need five strings and I'd just end up selling it again. GLWTS [/quote] Thank you very much. If it helps I'll buy you a B string and include it in the case?

    Hi, thanks for your question. Kitchen scales bring it in at 8lb 10oz (with covers fitted if that makes any difference!) Steve

    [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial,]This a Crafted in Japan 1951 Reissue Precision Bass from 2003 in butterscotch. It has been fitted with a Seymour Duncan SCPB-1 single coil vintage pickup (I can provide the original instead if required) and genuine Fender bridge and pickup covers. It has also had a replacement paper-in-oil capacitor fitted. There is a ding on top horn as shown in photos. It has reverse tuners, string though and vintage two saddle bridge. It's a slab body, ash I think, with a maple neck. Strung with 45-105 flats just as it should be. Comes with old but usable hard case.[/font][/color] [color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial,]Would prefer to meet up rather than post - I'm based in Huntingdon but can deliver localish or Milton Keynes.[/font][/color] Thank you for looking. Steve

    It's not proper or correct but I have used foam cut from pipe lagging that you can buy in Homebase etc. Dirt cheap and holds up well.

    I love threads like this. What 'look' are you aiming for, fully reliced (including metal parts) or leaving as it is?
