G & L should probably be on your radar. Many consider the P's that Leo designed at that point of his career to be the best.

Start work early, don't have a lunch break, finish late. Sorted.

Thing is Myke, a lot of the set that I play, I wouldn't choose to sit and listen to at home. The band I'm with at the moment, unlike a lot of bands that I see about and bands I've been with in the past, tend to play stuff that hopefully is generally of a feel good nature and gets the audience dancing. Get the girls bopping about and the chaps will be close by and spending at the bar; this means happy bar/club owner and we get invited back. It works for us

Sleepless night - I`ve quit two of my bands!
gary mac replied to Lozz196's topic in General Discussion
It can be so tough, so I'm not surprised you've had a restless night Lozz. You're not alone mate, I'm sure that most of us who have been in bands, have at some point been in the same position. For me, once it stops being fun then it's time to move on. -

Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby - anyone have a transcription?
gary mac replied to stevie's topic in Theory and Technique
Can't help you sorry, but just wanted to say I love the version that Tom cat serenaded the cat of his dreams with, in one of the very old tom and Jerry cartoons -

Thanks chaps. I was surprised at how well it plays. [quote name='hamfist' timestamp='1391721579' post='2360686'] That looks in great condition for it's age. Do you know if it's a solid wood body or ply ? I know many of the early 90's Korean Squiers had ply body (although still managed to sound excellent !). [/quote] I had the neck off yesterday, when setting it up and fitting a shim. Should have taken the opportunity to check whether the body is ply or solid then but I forgot. If you're keen to have it, let me know and I'll check.

I’ve set the string height at the 12[sup]th[/sup] fret to just less than the thickness of a pound coin. At the 15[sup]th[/sup] fret, approx 2.8 mm on the E string. This suits my playing style with a pick. If you play with a more gentle touch, it will go lower.[/center] [center]Truss rod is functioning perfectly.[/center] [center]Intonation is good. The bridge is functioning as it should, although the saddle height adjustment screws are too long and protrude proud of the bridge. It’s a pet hate of mine but common with these models.

Saw one recently on ebay that went for £120ish but it had been rewound I think. I've seen 70's pups being offered for a lot more on US sites but I've never revisited to see what they actually achieved. Check out US sellers on ebay sure there will be some completed listings.

Identifying mystery Wizard Jazz pickups
gary mac replied to dannybuoy's topic in Accessories and Misc
You'll be lucky, Mr Wizard wasn't too keen on emailing pre retirement. He was much more a phone sort of chap. Sorry I can't help, like you said measuring resistance and getting some comparisons sounds like the best bet. -

Good luck, sure someone will be able to help.

Always a pleasure to see you mate but leave your sand paper at home. I suppose if it was a bit more road worn I'd be more inclined to take it out for a gig or two. Be great if it sells but I'm not too worried, it looks lovely sitting in the corner and I find it difficult to walk past it and not stop off for a strum.
-
Very well done, wish you luck with it.

Trying asking in General Chat if anyone has any recommendations for tutors, your post will get more views in there I should think. Good luck Have you searched this part of the forum for a tutor?
