    Yeah, sold all my Gibsons a few years back - had my own mini financial crisis - I moved house.

    Saddles in the wrong order - they often have numbers on them to show which order they should be in. In the case of my Epiphone Jack Casady, they're numbered G = 1 D = 2 A = 3 E = 4 And they're in height order, A is the highest, E should be lower than A but slightly higher than D and G should be the lowest.

    Time to update the sofa shot... Changes since last time - Sire D5, Epiphone Korina Explorer, white pearl pickguard on the LB-100.

    This was my original plan when I got a G&L Tribute LB-100 to turn it into a poor man's SB-1, but I ended up liking the stock pickup enough that I couldn't be bothered changing it. They are monstrous though - I had a Tribute SB-2 a few years back, and it used to get mistaken for being an active bass by sound engineers...

    We get it, you like rosewood. Well these basses don't have it, so don't buy one, job done, you can leave now.

    I did the same to the edge of the truss rod cover of my Epi Les Paul bass - the white edge just wasn't gelling with the whole black and gold theme.

    Nope, it's a lazy, indolent, decadent layabout that demands to be driven around.

    It's not silly at all - test fitting the Explorer in the front seat was as much preparation for the upcoming road trip as it was the general practicality of getting the damn thing to rehearsals/gigs!

    They do appear to be co-ax, yeah. They're not that thin close up, certainly a lot thicker than individual pickup wires. A lot of wire involved in a pickup switch AND individual volumes - probably turns it into a very fancy antenna. I haven't got as far as removing the pickups yet.

    Well, surprise, surprise, this bass also loathes our rehearsal room. Time to get the copper tape out once more! Then I lifted the pickguard and my patience evaporated. Yeah, I'll come back to this

    Oh, you wee stirrer!

    Andertons sell these hard cases too, maybe you should boycott them also

    Hey, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. If I hadn't highlighted the zombie thread resurrection, someone else was bound to - it's the rules

    I don't see how the first point is Guitarguitar's fault, tbh. For balance, I like Guitarguitar. They let me put a deposit down for and pay up a bass they hadn't even listed on their site yet, and it arrived in perfect condition, just in time for my birthday. I would deal with them again.

    Holy zombie thread resurrection, Batman!

    All of what you're describing is possible - but it would be far better (not to mention cheaper) to get a new bass. The out of tune thing sounds like a setup issue, intonation, specifically - so why not stave off the GAS monster by learning how to set up your bass?

    Gibson to release some genuine reissues of past bass failures and make some new ones I might be interested in...
  20. neepheid
    +1 - he did a great job of copying my G&L LB-100 pickguard. I'm sure if you make up a card template he'll recreate it faithfully.

    An Explorer never makes sense, and that's why I wanted one
  22. neepheid
    It's mostly country music, some folk, sometimes I play in church, the occasional ceilidh
  23. neepheid
    "Ken Lee" mic drop.
  24. neepheid
    It fits! Just...
  25. neepheid
    Good news, the Epi Explorer can come... just. Nice to have someone to talk to on a road trip...
