    A tight band doesn't have to be loud to sound good. Tight = powerful for me

    I had the same on one of my vintage P basses, almost identical to the symptoms you have described. I replaced the output socket, figuring that even if it were to affect resale value, I would rather have a playable instrument. I also eventually replaced the volume pot. Switch cleaner would help for a while but the problem would return. I kept the original parts and passed them on when I sold the bass. I sold the bass, for the price I wanted, so never regretted carry out those essential repairs.

    I would glue wooden dowels in the existing holes and then drill fresh holes.

    I love flats at home but definitely not when gigging with the current band. However I eq. it just sounds muddy and indistinct.

    [quote name='bassbora' timestamp='1480665823' post='3186168'] I came across another item I have and was thinking of maybe selling. But I have no idea how much its worth. So I don't want to put a crazy price on it but I am not sure if its against the rules to pose the question. What do the mods say about that? [/quote] Your best bet is to research Sold Items on Ebay or just do a Google search. Valuation request posts on here will be taken.

    If you are buying shielding tape for the back of the covers etc. I think I would be inclined to just use tape for the whole job. For around a fiver you can buy enough to do the whole lot. Get the proper stuff with conductive adhesive and the job is a breeze, well it's a bit fiddly but a worthwhile upgrade. Check it over for continuity with a multimeter once you've done and enjoy a much quieter instrument Make sure that the output socket doesn't make contact with the foil, I was caught out by that the first time I did a shielding job.

    I was planning on keeping this but have decided to stick with a lower value Pacifica, for home noodling. The condition is almost as new, one small dink to the paintwork on the rear of the top edge and some very slight blemishes, too insignificant to photograph. The fret work is extremely good and with no signs of wear. Head stock is lovely and clean. This is a Mexican Blacktop model from 2011/12. Nicely set up and wearing a new set of D'Addario strings. The pickups are powerful and versatile, with plenty of tonal variation. Comes with a Fender gig bag. £425 collected from my place in Herts. Cash or Bank Transfer. I can post for around £20 with a decent courier but as it's not in a hardcase, it will not be covered by insurance.

    G&L's are generally a much more powerful beast. I love my Fenders but tend to gig with G&L's for this very reason. Having said that the Jazz should be consistent throughout the gig. So there must be something wrong or you are suffering hearing fatigue.

    Bumping again.
  13. gary mac
    Some of them are designed to take both.

    It shouldn't be a lonely thread. Great band, superb song writing and bass lines that always seem just right.

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1479658164' post='3178185'] Hello Gary. Never done this kinda thing before. How would a man know which was the volume and which tone before invariably putting them in the wrong way, 1st time. Do the actual 2 parts with the 4 poles have to go in in a specific orientation? [/quote] Karl. Will pm you in a bit, just trying to juggle with Bass Chatting and cooking a roast and my wife is right, I'm not good at multi tasking Looks like this is now sold anyway.

    [quote name='addictedtobass' timestamp='1479638901' post='3177961'] The neck releif seems bob on it was a bit buzzy up on the 19th fret but that adjusted out. i think a shim it is then. any recommended materials ? [/quote] Card is often used and is generally fine, even better though, is a wood veneer or any sort of material that won't compress.

    [quote name='mikeswals' timestamp='1479503701' post='3177151'] Amazingly it arrived in only 2 days! [/quote]Have you been able to put it down yet?
  24. gary mac
    I would be happy to take a look at it for you. If it is a case of just a clean up and glueing back in, happy to do it. I'm in Herts.
