I'm gonna get into trouble for this, and I love both those guys, and I didn't watch it all the way through, but I thought it was really sloppy (duck n cover!)

I need to get up to speed with this pc stuff. I just plug an iPod into my zoom 9.1 and play along. How do I do all this computerness?

Yep I'd go with pluck back over the bridge pickup. Neck pickup backed off a third or so, fresh rotosounds bass n treble boosted a smidge, maybe mid cut a tiny smidge and it should come.

I always say its easier to learn, but harder to play well

Just for kicks Here's a link with some more pics of it's 'mojo' as best I can What type of sealant should I be buying?

The wrist bands do help a bit tbh

Hmm some interesting ideas, I might try smoothing the edges with sandpaper maybe, thing is it's still spreading and even looking at it funny makes it drop off more lol. I like the worn thing but I also rather like the sonic blue! Il stick some more pics of the rest of the carnage on the finish up later if I can capture it with my phonecam

Man up I guess. Unlike the old nitro finishes that rub through the finish on my bass is cracking and coming off more like boiled eggshell, which is ironic what with the colour n all.

Ha ha ha that's the one I sold you ! Funny old world ;-) trust me, unless something awful happens that jazz ain't going up for sale;) - That said this time last year something awful did happen and it did go up for sale so who knows!!

[quote name='Bassbadger' post='1035026' date='Nov 24 2010, 01:03 PM']Hi All, I think Paul and I share a similar white bass fetish! Here is a pic of a one-off bass I had made up for my own personal use. It's nickname is "Honky" and the maple board with white pearl block inlays and white binding were inspired by '70s Jazz necks. Enjoy![/quote] I need one like that! I mean i actually NEED one!!

Flite perhaps?

[quote name='Lysdexia' post='1039130' date='Nov 27 2010, 06:45 PM']That is my dream, dream, dream, wet dream, stuff of dreams, ideal perfect bass of all time eternally and forever more until the end of time and beyond. You jammy bastard! Wanna sell it?[/quote] Didn't I already sell you an identical one? Or was that the status?

I'll miss mine forever! It was my dream amp and I was ways really proud to own it. My lighter gear is much more practical for me now, but I'm glad I had it. :-D enjoy it mate

I'm so getting the orange ones for my sonic blue jazz....mmmm gulf gt40

Over the years I've really come to hate down tuning, even a semitone. I find cause i set my basses up so precisely at normal tuning it really affects the way they play. That and it just eats amp power. Grrr !

That's a shame, I thought he'd cracked it in the end.

Can't recall tbh. About £60-70 I think honestly can't remember!

So these "GAFfers" are custom made for you (gafbass02) or would they just make them to order?[/quote] indeed, sound like a ray it wont but sound as much like a ray as a jazz can it probably will lol, and a p bass and a jazz. Which is nice! They are custom orders, all you do is ring and ask for a set of gaffers, i know he was planning to incorporate them into the standard product line but its not happened yet. Possibly due to issues of fitting them in a single coil sized casing. I have the prototype and had to modify the holes myself, but its WELL worth it! Although the 'production' model this seems to be fixed. Give em a whirl!
