I defretted my first bass, when I got a wishbass years later, it sorted me for fretless, so I refretted it as a skills project. Came out OK, never play it either way though.

I was gonna bring my pedal to get you to sign it, then I realised you already did.

Wind your string further down the tuning peg, so the break angle is greater.

I'm using that tuning at the moment, band plays in drop D, didn't like the slackness of downtuning a step, so took the BEAD route instead. I found I only had just enough adjustment in my bridge to get the intoation on the low B right, although I'd never play high enough on it for it to matter.

Wanna trade for a proco juggernaut?

I bought 3 sets of Ken Smith Metal Masters from the states, via a luthier mate, who posted them to the guy who runs a band message board I moderate, who gave them to a German I know who was on holiday there. Soon, she will post them to me and I'll let you all know if it was worth it. Worked out at about £30 for 3 sets.

Looks like it will need the neck alighnment sorted out.

What's it worth? Squier 20th anniversary Jazz?

They only have poo there cause the good stuff goes so fast. Especially when I have no money, then they always have wicked stuff. -
Does the string sound ok when you aren't plugged in? That will tell you if its your bass or your rig. Heavier strings is always the way to go.

Moving house in a werek, catch me before then, and this is £70.

I have a black widow speaker you could totally buy to load this, if anyone is interested.

I just won, sent you an ebay message about sollection and paying. I have such great timing with moving house, just bought a 4x10 too.

Dunno how it would work for a 5 string, but Tim Commerford uses a left handed headstpock on his BEAD bass so the bottom string is the longest. I have a left handed neck here to try it once I get it over to the luthier to fit. My 5 string suffers from rubbish B syndrome too, am considering a guage thicker, but it sound fine acoustically, so it might be the pickups and amp.

I'll take it, pm'd. [quote name='mybass' post='61747' date='Sep 17 2007, 04:14 PM']I have a spare and slightly used Hipshot Ex-Tender going for £30 includes UK postage. Finished in Chrome. For the E string peg with the flip lever to detune down to D whilst playing and back up again if your quick enough! I think this is the HE6c model with clover leaf tuner head. The outer sleeve hexagonal head that ultimately tightens the tuner in place from the front of the headstock is about 1/2" wide.[/quote]

At work and googling it will be unsly (I type this in notepad and rapidly paste in) But soaking them in a tube of alcohol based solvent is supposed to work. Sounds right, will soak out the grease and not corrode like boiling, oull the out, wipe off the swollen out the coils gunk and hang them to dry outside.

Peaveys seem to go for no money and are good bits of kit. I bought a new Johnson on ebay, asked the guy to put his ear against them and send me the one that sounded loudest. It had poo hardware, but a good enough chunk of wood and a thick neck I liked. Westone Tunders are a classic, saw one go for £38, but most go for more.

Got me a black SG to refinish, I'm steaming lables off Jack daniels bottles and gonna psate them on and varnish. Pick your poison.

[quote]True Bypass - On/Off Digital Volume Amount of Wah Different types of wah on it also - Auto, Synth etc[/quote] Behringer Hellbabe, plus looper pedal for the win. Lots of adjusty knobs, optical.

One thing I always do is put my ear on the body ( generally the top horn for convenience) and listen to what it sounds like there. Also, I pay aattention to how much the body vibrates when you are playing, I want my basses to really come alive when you hit a string. If the wood is good everything else can be replaced, I did that, load of no name generics, picked out the one that sounded loudest through the body.

Pair of EMG pups for a pbass
Mr. Foxen replied to phsycoandy's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Will these be better than the one that came in my Westone Thunder? -
Its the not buying basses that I have trouble with.

Bump, movin in 2 weeks, could do without having to shift an extra cab. -
[quote name='tayste_2000' post='59948' date='Sep 13 2007, 04:17 PM']Is this a current reissue? I.E When did you buy it. Cheers[/quote] Bought it on the bay, second hand, in the box, white card box. Not sure how to tell the difference, but the in and out on the effects loop seem reversed, which was something I saw mentioned about them when I googled it.
