[quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1497425860' post='3317958'] Its really important to match the pickups carefully. You need a lowish vintage-type P with a pretty hot J pickup, or the P will dominate. Also, it needs care setting up the pickup heights to again ensure the P does not dominate. When it all comes together it can be fantastic thuogh, and its not that difficult really. [/quote] In PJ configuration I've always just used the manufacturers pickups. I must be having the P pup too close to the strings. Thanks for comment.

Frank bought my Tascam GB-10 from me. Good coms and easy to deal with. He collected the item from Mrs G. It all went smoothly and easily. Thanks Frank.

I'm with Chris. I've had a few PJs and don't find the J does a lot on a PJ. If you have to do it, I'd go for a switch. Take a look at Tony Franklin's bass.

This is a bargain price for when the right person comes along. This is a great quality, amazing, German made bass. I've got a fretless. I love mine. If this was a RH it would sell for £800 or more. There's no good reason it should be cheaper for being LH. -
[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1497117520' post='3315997'] You can also use this at rehearsals to 'remind' the band how the original track is supposed to sound ... [/quote] Thanks Jack. This is now "on hold" -

A total rewire and pot change needed. But I can't do it!

Or take a look at this thread http://basschat.co.uk/topic/277468-bcers-prepared-to-help-fix-a-bass/ Pete1967 is in Leeds. He may be able to help -
Can't see the pictures on my mobile. I have to request permission.

All I ever play is solo pieces. Mostly I sight read. But I don't do "the band thing".

I usually set the height of each string by using an allen key as a guage between the string and the highest fret on the fretboard. This way they're all the same distance from the frets, but they follow the radius.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1496945248' post='3314925'] I've actually got one of these PB-50 basses, currently stock. Came as a part trade on something else I sold. Cogs be turning after reading this thread! To the guys who did these, how did you nail the headstock shape before taking tools to them?

[/quote] Yes, it's all down to the cookies based on your location .People in Cheltenham are a bad credit risk. So you get higher prices. All the rest of us see a price of £502. You need to move house. Then you'll save on all your online purchases. (Don't anyone tell him )

If the volume difference isn't caused by the set up, and faulty strings aren't the issue, try swapping the coils round: So the section now under the E, A will be under the D, G, and vice-president versa. See if this moves the low volume to the E,A. If so, change the pups. In relation to the Mark Hopus thing. I've had basses with both configurations. I still do. I also have read posts on here others say, for all the agro of changing them round, it makes very little difference.

Removal of fake decal on painted metallic headstock.

[quote name='tonyquipment' timestamp='1496912890' post='3314617'] Only just use read this again and only realised it is painted metallic. Ummmm tricky now. How about sticking another decal over it ? Or yeah carefully blade it off. Then relacquer it. [/quote] I would still scrape it, but go gently. Then finish it after with very fine wet & dry. Then lacquer it. -

[quote name='Norris' timestamp='1496904538' post='3314543'] Don't try and get under the decal with the Stanley knife blade as it will dig in. You'll want it at about 90 degrees. Have a look on YouTube for people using cabinet scrapers - it's the same technique [/quote] This. You need to hold the blade in your fingers with the long sharp edge flat to the surface and scrape towards you. Allow the blade edge to tilt back, so it will be at, something like a 45 degree angle. Use it as a scraper, but dragging, not pushing. So think of it as being like a window squeegee, not a wall-paper scraper. This method is also good for getting a smooth surface on wood. So, as Norris says; it's used in wood furniture. Which is the industry in which I learned to do it. -

Grangur replied to DanH71's topic in General Discussion
I usually do it by scraping it with a flat blade. The blade I usually use is one from a Stanley knife, removed from the holder. New sharp blades are better than an old one. -
... unless you want to make it fretless at the same time? and don't forget to move the dots at the same time.

[quote name='lownote12' timestamp='1496664401' post='3313033'] My beef with the comps is with the follow through on prizes too. A while back he had a whole slew of several top items up for grabs - amp, cab, bass and other stuff. Instead of allocating one item to each of several winners the whole lot went to a single person in Ireland. What a waste. You get the impression that once the competition has raised attention the rest of it isn't worth bothering with. ... [/quote] He's a business man first. He's happy to have got all the attention, the trial members and the mailing list. After that sending the gear out to 1 address is cheaper than to split it. He's he's probably crying into his cappuccino here that it would make no logical sense to send all 7 basses to one person.

Hey! Nice bass. GLWTS

[quote name='MarkusWarwick' timestamp='1496766740' post='3313738'] ...(Why it wont let me upload pics, iv no idea) [/quote] Have you used up your limit for pictures you can have hosted here? Your best bet would be us have them hosted on another site and link to them. Like this: a nice pic of MY LX. These are really cool basses. THIS IS NOT the bass for sale!
