What about one of the vintage Fender bridges, that has the saddle with a few grooves in.

They come up on Ebay, particularly from the U.S. Expect to pay a fair bit though and then is it genuine and will it work? I ended up putting a brand new one in my 70's P, figuring that at least it would be reliable. I will include the original when I sell though. If you have the pots they can sometimes be repaired or at least adjusted to get them working again. If you are not confident in going down the DIY route, get in touch with Bass Doc he's the man

You could check whether the nut has been cut too low on the E by slackening off the string and putting a little slither of match stick or similar in the groove. Re tune and see if it has stopped the buzz.

Excellent work Nige, listened all the way through and loved it.

Love the look of yours though

I was watching one of these on Ebay a couple of days back. Was very tempted but had a word with myself, as I dont get on with Jazzes

Same as TimR we send out posters. Some put them up but just as many don't bother. A lot of them have Face book pages which they don't use to promote the gigs. Got to say a fair few of them just don't help themselves and yet still moan when the gig isn't well attended. On the plus side some are very good.

I'm suffering a bit today Pete. A couple of hours back, when I was out in the cold my fingers/knuckles were giving me grief. Ok now that I'm warm again and have had a couple of Ibuprufen. Will give it another ten minutes or so and then have a bass session wish you well mate.

Love a bit of Ozric. Mrs. Mac doesn't So only listen to them when she is out.

Paul S, was it wise to poke this one again, it's been all quiet and peaceful for best part of twelve hours

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1385115307' post='2284561'] Brief hijack...sorry... I set up my 50th jazz a little while back and adjusted the truss rod .I asked about it at the time and was told, right turn to tighten (less relief) and left turn to loosen (more relief). The adjustment is at the body end of the neck. I also have an 83 jazz that I may need to adjust but the adjustment is at the headstock.... Is it still right turn (clockwise) to tighten and left turn (anticlockwise) to loosen? Or does that change as the rod is the other way round? [/quote] Same rule applies Rob

My head is not working just yet, so I'll come back to this when the caffeine has kicked in.

That should cheer you up then Result

Try not putting an commas, full stops etc. within the price figure

One of the things that I really enjoy about my current band is that when we get to a rehearsal room to nail new material, everyone has learnt their parts. This usually means that as long as we feel the songs work, we can get four or five rehearsed up and ready in one session.

Thanks John

Are they suitable for the P bass shape/size?

Same here.
