    We rehearsed Highway Star last night in preparation for a gig this weekend. It was quite a workout but ultimately very enjoyable and slightly different from our usual brand of dad rock

    It looks very smart Scott and also very user friendly. I'm off out for a rehearsal in a few minutes so haven't got time for a thorough exploration but will return tomorrow.

    Sad indeed. Have Bass Chatters stopped posting in these threads?
  9. gary mac
    Would possibly work, although you are likely to find that the screw holes don't all line up. Not a huge problem but something to be aware of. Our very own "Bass Doc" would be yer man to make one.

    The wizards were a worthwhile upgrade. I suppose they gave the instrument a bigger, more powerful sound. The bass was certainly good enough to gig with the seymour pups though.
  12. gary mac
    Yes I suppose they are one of the vintage mods. I don't know how they compare to the standard squier pick ups as that was the only Squier Jazz I have owned. My feeling was that they were good, certainly not thin/weedy sounding as can be the case. I swapped them out not because there was anything wrong with them but rather because I wanted to hear what a set of Wizard pups would sound like. There are a fair few bass chatters who own the Squier VMJ and probably with the stock pups, it might be worth asking for their opinions in the relevant forum. All the best, Gary

    Yes the stock Seymour Duncan designed pups taken from a Squier VMJ.

    Taken from a Squier Vintage Modified Jazz. Hardly used as they were removed soon after purchase and have sat in my parts drawer awaiting a project. £22.00 inc postage.

    Not recent but I went to see them at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park London back in '73 (I think). Supported by Nazareth. I remember when we left the venue some marauding skin heads took exception to our loon pants and fisty cuffs ensued. Happy daze

    [quote name='jackers' timestamp='1322337914' post='1449683'] if my aerodyne sells soon, then I will be contacting you about this, it is a beautiful bass [/quote] Thanks, that would be good, will tell my daughter.

    Bumping this up prior to my daughter taking advantage of a free listing day on ebay tomorrow.

    That's really excellent news, chuffed for you.

    [quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1322252079' post='1448734'] PMed. Gary - I've got a Ryder bass in translucent blue that I'd be looking to to swap for this body - you can see the grain somewhat on that if you want to get an idea. [/quote] Thanks for that Ancient,

    Hi Wayne. Been after a P bass body. I want to go for a walnut finish, so need one with a decent grain. Do you reckon your one would fit the bill. I know it's not expensive but don't want to go to all the effort of removing the paint to find it's not suitable. All the best, Gary

    Another lovely Wal, good luck with your sale.

    Ben, I thought the mag was just fine. No prob with reviews on lefties or righties but couldn't help feel that the pics of the lefties were the wrong way round

    Have just sold Dave an Orange combo, a real gent and a pleasure to deal with.

    [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1322118907' post='1446611'] However... there are some necks/woods that react more slowly and over a greater period of time. If you need to go much past a half turn between set-ups then you are moving the neck a fair bit. If the neck was a slow mover and you crank it 1/2 to full turn you might find that initially you get the reaction that you want BUT 24hrs (or more) later the neck has moved even further and you have to adjust it back. I'm not saying that you are wrong and I certainly don't subscribe to a 1/4 turn then leave it 24hrs, as I'll tweak it a 1/2 turn or so but much past that and if it is a new bass to me then I'll leave it sitting a while with the strings up to tension before I have another look. [/quote] Yes you are right, I should have expanded my answer a bit, but it was late and my bed was calling.
