  1. If you have found woodworm holes that weren't there previously, it's where the little blighters have eaten their way out and buggered off to start munching away at any other timber that takes their fancy. Good news is the bass may well now be free of woodworm. The bad news, your house may crumble in to a pile of dust
  2. [quote name='LeftyBiskit' timestamp='1344158022' post='1760414'] ,and I have been inspired in taking my playing to a whole new level. Trev. [/quote] It's amazing how a new instrument can do that. Sometimes if I find myself stuck in a rut playing wise, I'll get out one of my basses that hasn't been played in a while and get fresh inspiration . Nice bass, enjoy.
  3. [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1343765344' post='1754984'] True but in a forum where most guys venturing under the hood would rather pay a bloke to build them the simplest of looms than solder one up for themselves, it's hardly surprising. [/quote] In my defence, it's due to visual impairment rather than lack of ability.
  4. Congrats Nick that is one very handsome beast. I like the customer service in Coda, I've been in a few times and always been welcomed. I'm going to pay them a visit on tuesday after my visit hospital appointment, it would be daft not to really as the hospital is only about a mile away from them. Maybe I'll leave my wallet at home just in case they still have the sonic blue and I'm in the mood to celebrate .

  6. Kiogon is yer man. Just get one of his super duper Greasebucket type kits. the work is done for you, pots, input jack, cabling etc. just drops in,no soldering required
  7. Fear not, there's always another bout of GAS, it just hasn't got to you yet. Be patient, give it time and you will be rewarded
  8. Yep, been all around the houses bass wise and now firmly in the P bass camp. Although I do gig a G&L regularly but even that is p bass shaped
  9. Lovely grain on the 77 Nick, looks really nice. Is it a heavy one?
  10. I really like this bass but just can't go for it at the mo. Good luck with your sale.
  11. With a bit of eq tinkering and technique adjustment, I find my P basses perfectly fine for the poppier numbers. Don't butcher it
  12. I would happily recommend Charla, he is a fine chap to deal with.
  13. Big John is a man of few words Nice looking bass though
  14. [quote name='bremen' timestamp='1342774546' post='1740643'] Tell them 'see you next Tuesday'. [/quote] I concur
  15. [quote name='LiamPodmore' timestamp='1342647419' post='1738828'] I can wholly understand that one, a lot of metal fans are into the whole symphonic side of things as well, as it somehow fits so well with metal. My only guilty pleasure is a very vague one of cheesy pop songs, most people who like 'real' music absolutely hate them, but some are just satisfying to play. Liam [/quote] I've been playing quite a bit of pop recently, Katy Perry's Hot and Cold being one example and it's so much fun. Brown Eyed Girl is in the same set though, which is not fun anymore.
  16. I didn't realise they were one and the same. Well at least we know now, thanks
  17. Sorry to hear of this. I've always felt reasonably safe buying on here but I suppose as the membership grows it will happen more and more . Please do leave the feedback.
  18. I know that those multi tools seem like a good idea and can be very handy but I avoid them and prefer single, good quality tools. My thinking is that they are weighty and bulky, and that there is more chance of me damaging the instrument than when using proper tools. I always take my tool box along to gigs, including a soldering iron. Haven't had to use it yet but it's in the car just in case.
  19. Just sitting here feeling saddened by the passing of Jon Lord and then found this thread
