Mr. Foxen

I've got a Schaller guitar humbucjer with bar rail type pole thing going on. I was considering it on a bass, but the strings are only just over it at the neck position.

Quoting Official N.H.S. statistics - An average of Nine people die every year in the U.K. from testing a PP3 with their tongue. Apparently, it's a fool-proof way of finding out if you were born with a weak heart. Thank goodness I wasn't. I'd been doing this for years before I read the article. [/quote] Got a citation there? Considering the current flows through the space between the terminals, your heart is far from any current. Google find me nothing but similar perpetuations of what is likely an urban myth with no references other than a doctor stating the shock might kill you or disrupt a pacemaker. And that Doctor apparently doesn't exist, or at least they spelt his name wrong, there is a 'Dr Xiheng Hu' at the department, who I'm about to email.

If you were having a bass made, or making a bass, or picking one out, what properties give a 'growly' sound. I tried this with punch, and the answers were fairly contrary. See how this one goes.

Looks like the Bassassination attempt only burnt off its frets and made it more hideous: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/KAY-ELECTRIC-BASS-GUITAR_W0QQitemZ270328471307QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item270328471307&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A10|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]M'Kay[/url]

Can't find it on Ebay. I've shrunk neck pockets using veneer, found loads of little bits of rosewood veneer on floor of piano makers.

Cheapies are where the money is, parents wandering in off the street to buy a kid his first bass because they haven't got the first clue etc. Once you are hanging on the internet in places like this, the chances of buying in shops is pretty slim, and they have to cater for the market.

Good price on ER20s in this ebay store: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Elacin-er20-musicians-high-fi-earplugs-case-er-20_W0QQitemZ220336109936QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_MusicalInstr_Access_RL?hash=item220336109936&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1298|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318"]here[/url] The Nuge is deaf in one ear from that, or possibly from the guns. Surprised we haven't managed to destroy anyone yet, with Chappell of Rest's 5150 full stack in a livingroom sized venue. Our drummer complained he couldn't hear his cymbals over it.

Just scored a stacked pot. Rapid transaction. Cheers dude.

Joe Garcia was after doing this also, I got the general impression its not very good on passives. Was giving having a master volume on a jazz with no cosmetic change some thought, recon a push pull tone that turns it to master volume, can that work?

Hi, another one of us. Bristol has a fair presence here. If you hit up The Prom this evening, at least two of us are going to be there.

Course I set stuff really low if I'm trying to sell.

[quote name='dub_junkie' post='373719' date='Jan 8 2009, 12:12 AM']the Strat jack socket kills the looks for me.shame as its otherwise quite nice[/quote] Pleasingly practical though. Much better than the rubbish telecaster cup things, more accessible than an edge mount and it points the right way to go through the strap.
