Lemonrock, Join my band.

My recently acquired 74. I did post this up in the P bass thread but it belongs here as well. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/11357465273/][/url]

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1387236994' post='2309857'] I was totally unaware that there were supposed to be any shielding issues. [/quote] Same here. I've had my one from new, back in the 90's and no issues at all.

Thanks Chris. I know that black is not the most popular finish but this does look damn fine and the neck/fretboard is just lovely. The covers will be coming off though, love the look but as I mostly play with a pick, they need to go.

Have fun Shell We shall be playing it next weekend, along with Wizard.

I dont know what clearance is required on that bass, try a google search

5p coin for a saddle, well that's a first. so assuming your action and relief are correct, is everything good at the nut?

[quote name='Nibody' timestamp='1387031189' post='2307591'] Now you're just showing off another stunner Gary [/quote] It is rather lovely. Wife is out shopping or lunching or something and I'm sitting here playing along to some Floyd. It's what Saturdays were made for

That's a bit sad really.

These are the ones on my 75 [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510662806/][/url]

My new arrival, a 74 P. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/11357465273/][/url]

Good man, make sure to say hello.

[quote name='endorka' timestamp='1386907473' post='2306312'] As far as the creating of basslines goes, one of the best things you can do IMHO is become more aware of other instruments. Jennifer [/quote] Got to agree with this, simple, common sense advice that is often overlooked.

I had forgotten Stray, went to see them a fair few times.

Very nice. I am awaiting delivery of a 74 in the same colour combo, should be here tomorrow. Enjoy yours.

Welcome aboard, from another Herts Bass Chatter.

sounds like a promising project,............form an orderly queue bass chatters

Last time I encountered the same thing (if I have understood your description correctly), it was due to the pick up being too close to the E & A strings. Like booboo suggested, lowering it a little sorted the problem.
