What I've done in the past is give the first in line a day or two to sort it out, some people aren't on Facebook as much as others so it can be a pain to sort the delivery/cash. Also keep others who have asked about in the loop as well, so they know where they stand. If you do just offer it to someone else people have the tendency to make it public on these groups if they feel hard done by....Not all the time but I'm sure some of us have seen these types of posts, best to avoid that situation if you can I assume this is for the Chris Aiken P bass? If it helps, I'll take it off your hands if everything else falls through

From my experience, Vintage basses are very well put together and the Wilkinson parts they use are well thought of around here. I wouldn't go replacing the electronics unless they really aren't giving you the sound you want, but at the end of the day it is your bass and you can do whatever you please Happy modding!

Just saw this on Facebook. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1285909174793584&substory_index=0&id=812596638791509 Unless he finds a buyer looks like another bass shop will disappear by this time next year Real shame but his reason is completely understandable. Anyone want to chip in to buy it?

Depending on your budget, this might be a good place to start. Around £776 on all your reputable online retailers [url="http://intl.fender.com/en-GB/basses/mustang/mustang-bass-pj-rosewood-fingerboard-olympic-white/"]http://intl.fender.c...-olympic-white/[/url]

If this ad is genuine, then it's a proper bargain! BB1024 for £400 in Yorkshire, Goole to be specific. If it was a 5er I'd have it.....Still very tempted, would match my L2000 very nicely https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/yamaha-bb1024-bass-guitar-/1197903305

Quick, the pound has gone up! Buy your Maruszczyk now!

This months Bass of the Month.....Wow. What a BEAST! [url="https://www.public-peace.de/index.php/bass-of-the-month/2067-public-peace-proudly-presents-the-bass-of-the-month-november-2016"]https://www.public-p...h-november-2016[/url]

Interesting because on his Reddit AMA (10 months ago) he said that uses old Roundwounds on his J. He does use another bass with Thomastik flatwounds on it though Look for a post from BeowulfShatner on the AMA and he lists what he uses. https://www.reddit.com/r/Bass/comments/3x9fmv/ama_hi_im_joe_dart_bassist_in_vulfpeck_ask_me/

No idea what this is...but it's pretty cool and I want it. https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/unbranded-bass-solid-body-electric-bass-guitar-stored-for-years/1197074110

[quote name='dyerseve' timestamp='1478006011' post='3165895'] whats with these comments? whoever bought the bass can do whatever they want with it. if they think they can sell it for a profit then good luck to them. the seller got rid of something they didnt want for a price dictated by the marketplace and the chosen selling method. [/quote] For me it's because the original auction of the item was for charity. I would normally have no problem as, like you rightly say, the seller got what they wanted and the buyer can do what they like. Just feels a bit off making money where a charity could make more. But that's the way of the world.

That leaves a slightly bitter taste in my mouth.....

Regarding stripping the paint. I did it recently using Nitro Mors (other brands are available) scraped that off then sanded off the stubborn bits. I think it worked well and protected the body underneath (mostly, it did melt the plastic binding....). Good luck, getting in to modding and building is a slippery slope. I keep thinking what I can mod on my basses rather than actually playing them!

Only 1. A blue Yamaha SBV500. Was set up perfectly, as in when I received it all the tuning pegs were in a straight line. While it did fund a G&L they seem to be worth nearly 3 times what I sold mine for.....Anyone want to sell me one??

[quote name='Bassassin' timestamp='1477333582' post='3161531'] If it's got proper routing for the neck pickup - none. If not, probably black would work best. [/quote] I have a feeling I've looked before and I don't think the routing isn't suitable for no pickguard. Just did a quick mock up and black doesn't look bad at all.

Just out of interest what colour pickguard would look better? I've been thinking about it for a while but can't think of what to change it to....

Interesting.... I have a Fretless version of this. Same brand. Different headstock and control knobs, I think I paid £50 for mine with a more traditional shape headstock. Not a bad bass overall but I'm not sure whether it's walnut/maple or a veneer.

If you are up for a project and near Sheffield this might scratch the itch.... https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/sg-bass-project-mahogany-hand-made/1194600527 I know I'm not helping

Well that escalated quickly....Checked it 10 mins ago when I found this post, £132. Now at £343. Great news for the charity!

Afternoon all, NOT MINE FOR SALE Found this on Gumtree in Vale of Glamorgan. A bit bashed up but still £350 for an export colour Aerodyne Jazz Bass isn't bad. They aren't going to get any cheaper that's for sure. [url="https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/fender-aerodyne-bass/1192701589"]https://www.gumtree....bass/1192701589[/url]

So...it appears I have damaged all 4 of the drivers [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?&app=forums&module=extras&section=legends#"][/url] Not really sure how but that's the case. Synergy are waiting on replacements to come in from the US. Hopefully I get a fully functioning amp back soon and fingers crossed the repair bill doesn't make me

[quote name='DarkHeart' timestamp='1475805065' post='3148911'] I have a bigman in my Alpher see my avi, awesome pickup were you adding a preamp as well? [/quote] That's a real looker!! If it's not too much hassle could you tell me how far the pickup is from the bridge? It looks to be in a similar position as the routing on this body. Yup, I think a preamp is pretty much essential for this pickup. Would probably be a Nordy just for consistency...What do you have in yours?
