Hmm. I wonder how many Peaveys I should have before this becomes an essential purchase?

Interesting Thanks for clarifications. My next question is how they hang the bodies while painting/staining them. if that spot is directly beneath the hanger, perhaps it's not drying well?

I've an SR300 set up like this. Works fine. I should flog it, I'm not using it.

'Israelites'. I can't get the pattern of when the rising scale appears. Possibly because certain guitarists and singers don't necessarily know either

[/quote] My first thought was slap impact, but the damage is between the G and D strings (the OP appears to be left-handed), so I don't think that can be it. Second guess is fingertip impact, but only if that's where the OP actually plays - thumb on the top of the neck pup could put fingertips in a position to produce wear like that, especially if the action is low. So could slap+pop. Third guess is a resonance effect, but that is definitely a long shot. This is all pure speculation, obviously

Cool Looks like fun.

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1440588766' post='2852154'] Spotted this whilst looking for some tuners on Ebay, might be worth keeping an eye on if you have J or P type basses. [b][url="http://tinyurl.com/nrucwd8"]http://tinyurl.com/nrucwd8[/url][/b] [/quote] Thank you, that's on my Watch list.

I'm learning Python and SQL, in an effort to make myself more marketable, ho ho. This comment [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227421-thomann-selling-harley-benton-basses-as-decoration-only/page__view__findpost__p__2851898"]http://basschat.co.u...ost__p__2851898[/url] made me wonder if it would be worthwhile setting up an online searchable database for people who want to know things like the neck pocket dimensions of Hohner B Bass B basses, nut widths, truss rod adjuster sizes, that sort of thing. Would anyone apart from me find this useful?

[quote name='Maude' timestamp='1440549329' post='2851898'] Reverse headstock, just hope it fits the SX P bass I bought. If not I'll have a whole J for sale [/quote] Or possibly a buyer for the neck Also, project pics please

I have accumulated several cheap basses (under £100) which need new necks - typically because of stuck trussrods. None are of significant sentimental value. Some are still playable but obviously can't be adjusted. Given that new necks are expensive, what advice would people give? Thanks in advance

[quote name='Maude' timestamp='1440544348' post='2851876'] I've just ordered the Lh Jazz. Just want the neck for a project so the body could be up for grabs, maybe. [/quote] I was wondering about that. Are you left-handed, or going for a reverse headstock?

What, Now?

This, I think, is not a Westone bass: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westone-Custom-Bass-Guitar-/191671824392?hash=item2ca087f008 I am pretty sure it's a bitsa, with horrible hacking under that plastic plate where the bridge has been moved to get the intonation.

Possibly a bit ambitious?

I can't sing at all any more. I've sung harmony for as long as I can remember - I find it difficult to sing a melody. I've never been able to sing and play together though. Recently my bandmates have pushed me to sing lead on a couple of songs (knowing they'd have to do without the bass), because I have the best voice of the three of us. Net result, I can't sing either.
