@ConorSomerz Ha ha, that was lucky! :)

@josenet2006 Found it in my toolbox at home, very handy, showed up right when i needed it lol
-
@ConorSomerz Cheers, I think it's a neat idea, I will try that. I guess the question is to find a screw that's the same thread and a bit longer. Trip to B&Q, although my local one is not very good.... I'll cross my fingers. Where did you find the one you used?

@josenet2006 do what I did, it helps a lot

well, my bass arrived today. Yup, the neckdive issue is noticeable so I'l do something about it... although in all fairness, some basses like the Warwick Thumb or the Gibson Thunderbird are about the same.
It sounds huge, it's like a Jazz on steroids really, which surprised me... until I checked and realised the pickups are located at the same position the Jazz pickups would be, rather than as on the Stingray. It sounds BIG, and looks great on me ;-) Lovely bass.

@ConorSomerz If you were local maybe, although I actually paid less than £150, they seem to have a sale now!
My bass was dispatched today, so I should be able to see first hand what it is like within a couple of days :)

@ConorSomerz Ah, I just ordered one, from Chase, in Manchester. We'll see how it turns out, I might try your trick. Cheers!
Positive thing about it is the great neck. Negative thing is the neck dive (already mentioned). The telecaster shaped body, whilst looking great, is overbalanced by the long neck. The pickup output is a bit weak at the top end though.
Also as delivered new, the lead is crap - the shielding doesn't work too well. The original strings are even worse. Replace them both with something decent and you'll have a half-decent bass, at least at the price.

@whigwood yeah I replaced the strings with GHS strings so its all brand new and sounds good. the output is pretty good on this bass, dunno why yours aint so strong :S you should look into that with yours
