I have to totally disagree with the quality and after sales back up of this product. I bought them in 2017 and within 12 months the ear muffs were starting to peel.  Now they have disintegrated. I emailed Pjb twice just asking where I could get replacement ear muffs and got no response.

poor quality and no after sales.

+1 Mine are unuseable due to the cushion materials disintegrating. It happened much quicker than other headphones I've owned and the result is worse. 

Has anyone had success with any replacement cushions that last longer? Or cheaper replacements? A bit reluctant to fork out on pads with a short life span.

The screws I bought were advertised as to fit USA and Mexico Ps. Are you certain MIMs are metric? Cos if they are I'll claim a refund.

I buy Fatbeams for £17 a set?

Are you importing from USA?

Yah Fat Beams were also very good though. I liked them a lot, but man they are so expensive. I'd still chose Prosteels over them especially for the B.

Another vote for Prosteels. Not that different in feel to D'Addario Nickels. I use both. The Nickels are better on Fretless but also play nicely on Warwicks and Stingrays. Of course the nickels are smoother but the Prosteels will not cut up your hands. I've used so many diff brands and makes of steels I've lost count. Prosteels are the winner and not expensive. And if you're a 5 string player you will not be let down, killer B.

Anyone happen to know what size saddle screws a Gotoh 201 bridge takes?

The bass is Squier Matt Freeman. Previously had a MIM P with a Gotoh bridge and the screws were the same size.

The genuine Fender precision screws 6-32x7/16 size don't fit as per pic below (Fender screw is on the right). But they both accept the same 1/16 hex key which is how I landed in this pickle. The fender screws are too wide and thread looks different. I imagine the Gotohs are metric?

Sold!

[s]Purchased in Australia back in 2004, I used it for about 2 years then it went into storage when I moved to the UK. Velcro on the reverse for attaching to a pedalboard.

There are some cosmetic dings and scratches as you see in the pics, but is is fully operational. No power supply (it would be an aussie plug style anyway). Never thought I'd sell this but back in the days I used this was heavily into electro and hiphop...those days are gone and I no longer have a need for such an incredible box of tricks (I keep telling myself that as I write this).

Someone please buy this before I changed my mind (!).

SOLD ON EBAY

[s]Boxed as new, never used. This is a triple coil pickup to suit Stingray 5 strings with a triple coil pickup and 3 way switch.

Nordstrand do not stock these ones, they're made to order and have a higher price tag than the regular 2 coil pups. I paid £150 including customs fees. Bought it to replace a faulty pickup on my Ray, but was able to repair it in the end, so it's sat its box for quite a while, time for a new home![/s]

SOLD

£360 shipped - I've found the original box it came in.

Yes still available - PM replied to

Cheers fellas. Here are some pics of the nut (it was also fitted by the Bass Gallery, I just remembered). I shimmed it using a couple of layers of 350gsm card.
The repair area was superglued around the edges and sanded back smooth.

Bump for a very unique bass!

In preparation for a big move to the other side of the world I'm selling off a bunch of my possessions. Here is one of them.
I bought this 4 years ago, it already had a bunch of modifications done by the previous owner, and I added a few. Year is unknown as the neck is not original, but thought to be early 2000's.

Body - Mexican Precision
Neck - All Parts Maple Jazz neck with black block inlays, high gloss varnish, Fender decal on headstock, painted to match body colour. Frets measure 38mm at the nut, 55mm at the 12th fret approx
Bridge - Gotoh 201 high mass
Pickguard - White Pearl
Pick ups - Original MIM
Controls - Passive, Kiogon wiring loom w/500k pots & 0.02uf capacitor
Chrome pick up cover, bridge cover and finger rest (entirely removable)

The neck is very fast. I had the frets levelled and crowned by The Bass Gallery in Camden. They did an amazing job. It is capable of very low action. I was going for a brighter sound with this bass. The treble and upper mids are more pronounced than a typical P.

The nut was filed to suit heavy gauge strings for tuning down to C. It is currently strung with Pro Steels 45-105 (regular gauge) and I have shimmed under the nut to accommodate them. Though regular/light string players may wish to use a new nut.

The bass did take some knocks during it's life (entirely not my fault) that resulted in chips to the paintwork at the bottom of the body. I did a basic repair to this area, the wood remains exposed as you can see. The section of the pickguard at the jack end broke off, but it's held in place by a pickguard screw, it's cosmetic only really. There's a crack to the paint at the neck joint. This bass is not in perfect condition but has a lot of character! Would suit a player seeking a brighter sounding P with lots of snap and upper mid zing, suitable for downtuning players / heavy gauge and a faster, thinner neck .

[s]I have located the original Fender cardboard box - add £10 for courier delivery to UK.[/s]

Not sure if you can see from the pic, but the green and white wires run underneath the plate of the 3rd coil. I'm no expert but I'm not sure how to access that.

Something is amiss with the wiring on my Stingray. It sounds as if one of the coils is not properly connected. When I push down on the pickup while playing, the sound suddenly becomes full again, as if the connection is being reinstated. Then I let go of it, and the volume and tone drops off significantly. So I decided to pull out the pup and take a look at it. The bare wire is loose and unattached! Is that cause for concern? Where should it be? And the solder joint of the black wire looks a bit weak.

Bass - 2004 Stingray 5 w/piezo bridge
Pickup - Duncan SMB-5a 3C

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Mike

Bought new a few years ago, only seen light home use. Made need new wires as they were cut a bit short on removal. Happened so long ago I can't recall why I did that.

Ordered back in 2013 brand new from Bill & Becky. Only seen light home use. £80 shipped to UK, £90 Europe.

Mr Bumpolina.

Bumpus O'Bumpity.

I recently got a Keeley Bassist Compressor. Small footprint on my pedal board, simple controls, transparent sound, gets the job done perfectly. Was tossing up this between an MXR, but I'm glad I got this because of its simplicity. Metering would've been handy, but whatever. I don't need lights to tell me how it sounds.

Comes boxed with all accessories, in like new condition. [s]£60 posted to UK, £65 EU, £70 rest of world.[/s]SOLD

I'm missing 2 of the saddle height screws on my P bass. It's a Gotoh bridge.

Does anyone know where the screws can be purchased and what the size is?

Cheers

Mike

Woah 7 pages of feedback? What a gearhead!

I sold a Diamond Compressor to Mark. Nice fella and easy to deal with, stuck by his word and was very considerate. Cheers mate!
