Great job, well done. Diagnosis can be difficult, especially if the buzz is actually a hum or vice versa

Are you all sorted on the buzzing issue. Good luck with the surgery.

A great and generous idea

What a great, challenging project. Good to see that you are getting there with it.

I've seen the cap recommendation as a safety aid before but personally would not put faith in it. Only a fast blowing fuse could be relied upon. I think Taylor might be one of the manufacturers who do just that and install a fuse.

Sounds like a grounding issue. Worth checking amp and cables though. Assuming it's not a cable problem or a problem with the electrics in your house, then carefully inspect all the pots, output socket and ground cables, look closely at the solder joints.

I'm very impressed with their customer service. I was recently repairing one of their amps, it was out of warranty but they happily sent me the parts FOC.

Don't desolder the wires at the pick up end but from the controls.

Despite the gruesome weather and road conditions, the gig went ahead and we raised over £2000.

What a looker, very handsome.

Happy to recommend Sean, he was a pleasure to deal with and very prompt with posting.

Sad to hear that.

He should be delighted with that bridge, they are so well engineered, easy to use, once fitted and in my opinion, look great. Re the pick ups, as with guitars the choice is huge and there are provably more good than bad. Might be easier to make a choice based on the style of music that your lad enjoys playing, or if likes the tone of a certain player, that could help. IN my P basses, I love G&L MFD SB1's. I'm about to do a P bass build with Fender 62 reissues, as I've been so impressed when hearing them. I would also happily use Entwistle pickups in guitar or bass, the quality is great, even though they are very cheap compared to many others on the market. I recently fitted a set of their humbuckers to a customer's Les Paul and he was totally delighted with them. Anyway, hope he is happy with whatever you get for him.

I had to learnt that one a couple of months back, great bass line and a pleasing number when we nailed it. It never seemed to go down that well with audiences though. Although other musicians always seemed impressed.

Next Sunday 10th December, 4pm-10pm. Raising money for the homeless charity. https://www.facebook.com/todostogether/?hc_ref=ARQQxHE8bivVCYMDMBNr66DJwGbKqsVKRHZefwLmH4aRPDZzn3dpRiEkFycS7FDHGRw Four or five different bands put together for the occasion, made up of musicians from a number of local bands. We did the same thing back in the summer and raised a couple of thousand pounds for Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.

Yes, good old Jack, in his defence, he has been a busy chap of late. Hope you're doing ok.
