He didn't. Note past tense.

Wow, Kudos to Warwick for the FSC rating. I don't play a warwick myself, but it's nice to see a manufacturer with an ecological conscience. Keep up the (very) good work.

Bummer. I suppose if you're not enjoying it then it's time to move on - do bear in m ind though that with keys you're routed to one place unless you've got an awful 'key-tar' or similar, Urgh.

Try this one, set the 'nome to a fairly slow tempo - you're playing semiquavers here and accuracy is more important than speed. [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/Metronome.png[/IMG] The idea is to mentally subdivide the crotchet metronome beats into 4 and accent different semiquavers. It's notated as just one bar per subdivision, but that's just for ease of exporting the graphics file. Spend a bit of time on each one to really get this exercise into your head. It's a bit confusing at first, but worth persevering with.

true dat - they're the best mod you can make to a Jazz bass.

"not sold" to the gentleman doctor.

Up for grabs is my Maplin Uz82D analogue multimeter. Really good condition, but I've just upgraded to a fancy one that'll do hfe for transistors and the like. http://www.maplin.co.uk/general-purpose-analoguemultimeter-25414 Yours for a donation to BC. I'll cover P and P too. PM me if you wanna. Useful for checking for breaks in connectivity or it'll do 'ball park' impedance for resistors (as it's analogue it's not the most exact readout) and the like. Paul

Bad smells? Shouldn't this thread be called [i]pull[/i] my finger?

"Green Naugahyde" by Primus. Quite predictable by Primus standards, but still pretty odd by everyone else's. [media]http://youtu.be/Cz8zICEafk8[/media]

Welcome on board skipper.

Just got in from tweaking my setup - [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/Rig2.jpg[/IMG] Hartke LH500 with a dBx 1066 into a newly rack-mounted DHA VT1EQ in the FX loop - clean valve channel and a filthy valve channel. Lovely.

what's not to like? It's accessible beyond the 30th fret and is ecologically sound; think of all that lovely wood that hasn't been used.

If that baffles you, then my picking one up for £95 the other day will have you tearing your hair out!

I use mine as my main tone shaping circuit. The 3 band on my amp is there to compensate for different rooms or whatever.

[quote name='Shaggy' timestamp='1338573548' post='1676716'] The P-retro is a good call, but if it was me I'd fit a piezo bridge (I know there's a Fender-fit one cos I used to have one, I think they can be had around the £50 mark now....). Gives you that nice, woody acoustic-y sound perfect for fretless, that can be EQ-ed to sound quite "Jazz nasal", and usefully different to the P p/up. There may be a way to do without having to route a battery compartment, but if unavoidable I'd far rather route the back than the front - don't touch that!!! [/quote] This - you may find that a PP3 battery will fit [i]somewhere[/i] under the scratchplate of the bass.

Lead-free solder is the electronics equivalent of fat-free mayonnaise or decaf coffee; it is the stuff of pure evil and should be avoided at all costs. Kill it, kill it with fire!

I'd personally go for separates - more flexibility if you're sharing stuff with support bands etc... Also a head is MUCH easier to lug around than a combo. I'd also plump for a 2x10 instead of a 1x15, but that's just my opinion - if you possibly can take your bass to a shop and play through both. Trust your ears.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1337627273' post='1663133'] actually it would depend on the circuit wouldn't it, the chorus has a £10 chip in it [/quote] Ooh, true analogue 'bucket bridge' then. Nice.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1338554753' post='1676270'] It's rather like the person who says "You read [i]books[/i]? God, how [i]boring[/i]" and howls with idiot laughter. You don't know whether to pity them or lure them to a subterranean cavern and butcher them in the interests of the wider public good. [/quote] I think you've answered your own question there Skank.

[quote name='Ian Savage' timestamp='1338554418' post='1676261'] What a tit! Ah well, means you can legitimately re-list it, I suppose... [/quote] That's what I'd do too!

That sort of plastic is better for Jazz basses - a P bass should really be wrapped in polyurethane or similar - tin foil at a push. I ain't judging, I'm just saying.
