Sorry mate, your '4 stars' reminded me of hearing that bloke doing his Choppa impersonation on the Merrick Watts MMM radio program every Friday afternoon, and yes, he can be very rude but in a funny kind of way.
Didn't mean to offend and hoped you had a chuckle.

After being told I'm up for another extra shift tomorrow night... (that's three this fortnight)... I found myself wandering aimlessly through Ebay when my shift partner tells me that the British Pound has dropped considerably against the Aussie Dollar, so I log myself into Ebay UK to look for a bargain, and a nice set of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders magically appears coming in at $130.00 landed.
Unused but with damaged packaging, well I don't care about packaging, and as long as they work properly and are unmarked, if they were used, I probably wouldn't mind.
So I pulled the Trigger..... there goes my Strat Kit for a while longer.....
But I have always wanted a set of Quarter Pounders..... This Bass is gonna Kikass!!!!!
Nice deal! As if the Quarters Punders were waiting for you on eBay ;)
Nice indeed, Kick, almost Half Price .....
How Prophetic that turned out to be.......Quote:

High Mass Brass Bridge and Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders added together with some copper shielding. Pickguard needed a little filing to allow the neck pickup in.
Not convinced that the control plate is right..... Now waiting for some of Ernie Ball's Regular Slinkies to finish it off.....

Finally decided on a Black all over theme..... No Kiwi Rugby influences here.....
Would like to source a Black Jack Socket and Nut if possible...
The Seymour Duncans really give it a solid kick.
I am absolutely loving this Bass now.....
You might find the black parts at Jaycar, Real Parts, or there is always Ebay but you need to make sure whether you need metric or Yankee thread.
Like the upgrades. Looks really classy now.
That looks killer! Sound grab?😀
Still has the stock strings on it and I am certain that it will be much better when I put some Ernie Balls on it in a few days..... Might record a couple of scales then..... and again when my new Speaker arrives.....
But it will only be on my phone.....
Love this photo! Almost looks like it's made from clear glass with a black burst around the edge. It's like you can see the table through the guitar!Quote:

Thanks Zandit, The quality of the finish on this thing is really quite impressive, especially for the price.....
I'm hoping to finally fire a shot in anger with it this weekend, Jammin' with a couple of guys that I have never played music with before.....
Well the 'Bull served me well for twelve months until the Musicman came along and sadly it's time for me to move it on.
I still enjoy playing it and it still sounds great, But 5 Basses and no standard 4 string Fretted Bass is not a useful collection.
It has to go to make way for my latest acquisition, A Fender MIJ Jazz which is also kitted out with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders.
They don't sound dissimilar and I reckon any potential buyer will be suitably impressed when they compare the sound of the 'Bull with the Fender.
I will always recommend these Basses to anyone looking for a low priced but great value Instrument.
It's been a Pleasure.
