    First bump.

    I would avoid sand paper and treat yourself to a pack of Micromesh. It is brilliant for fret polishing and a multitude of other polishing/buffing tasks. About a tenner on Ebay will get you good variety, from coarseish to super fine. It really is far superior to sand paper for this sort of work. It also smells lovely

    Always a pleasure to deal with Nick and I'm happy to recommend him as one of Bass Chat's best

    If you've got the readies, I would recommend searching out a 60's or early 70's Fender. If you get a good one, I'm sure you will get on with it. It's what I had to do, to actually enjoy a J bass.

    I reckon you will love it, I recently treated myself to a 63 and it's a mighty fine instrument. That was definitely an era of awesomeness from Mr Fender

    Nice one Marvin. Happy to hear that you're enjoying your purchase. I had one of these for a while and thought it was a very decent P. Although the pups were good enough, I was going to install a Wizard set but in the end, I didn't.

    [quote name='BobVbass' timestamp='1457343640' post='2997446'] Something that's been depressing me lately. It seems everyone I speak to (whether they still play or not) regales me of stories of playing huge gigs, playing on telly, being a member of some band that supported the Beatles or the Who or something, having albums out - everthing like that Me, I've been playing for 30 years this year and I have exactly zero claims to fame, no success, no albums, no support slots - 30 years of gigs to a few people, sometimes a few hundred, but that's it. Maybe I should take the hint :| [/quote] Also keep in mind that there are huge numbers of so called musicians who are somewhat delusional. If they are talking to you at a gig, during your break or at the end, it's you that's doing the playing/entertaining now.

    In the first instance, I would be inclined to take the saddle up slightly.
  16. gary mac
    If you fancy doing it yourself and have the tools, it's not a difficult job. If it's just the G string, it may well be a case of just adjusting the bridge saddle very slightly. Where is the buzzing occurring on the fretboard. First few frets, middle section or up past the 12th fret?

    Great review and great photos as always Discreet Following this review they will probably need to stack them even higher. I predict an HB stampede

    [quote name='spyder' timestamp='1457096758' post='2995309'] Ive been looking for a 2013 made bass to celebrate the birth of my son Rufus. After much head scratching on what to do I fell upon this by accident. It was made 5 weeks before Rufus was born and I fell for it as soon as I saw it. Ive had Jazz type basses for years and ultimately have been dissatisfied with the sound. I couldn't put my finger on it , I was just doubting my sound. Last week I sold my very good Maruszczyk Jazz type bass and added some cash tucked away for the ' Rufus bass '. Well it arrived yesterday and I cant put it down..... I really cant put into words the quality of the sound so Im posting a few pics instead. Ive strung it with Chrome 40 - 100 strings and taken off the bridge cover..... its perfect. [/quote] Like Lozz said, that is a beauty and somehow looks older than its years

    The only double album that I still listen to regularly is not allowed on this thread, as it is a live one. But it's too good to be worried about the rules, so: Humble Pie, Rockin' the Filmore

    John excels once again. I ordered a kit at about 1 p.m. and it was with me the next morning. Top quality product as well, of course.

    [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1457112853' post='2995544'] Stadium Arcadium. Barely enough decent tracks to fill an EP. Edit. Really struggling to think of a double album that's solid gold all the way through, especially as the rules disqualify live albums. [/quote] I've received mucho stick when I've said the same thing about this album. It has made me happy that I'm not alone

    I would also recommend the Rumble for what you need
  24. gary mac
    We get them removed as soon as soon as possible, if they are wanted/selling type updates Jack.

    My tip would be to answer your pm's and/or respond to replies in your advert. If you had replied to my pm or responded to my reply up above, you would have probably had your yes by now.
