Get IN!

It had a tortie pickguard tho which looked fussy but it seemed all original as far as an ignorant person of my limited capacity to appreciate could tell.

I have a soft spot for Lakkies, would love to try one out in 30 years time after its taken a bit of road wear.

Looks cute! Would be a good recording set up but, like the Warwick Hellborg stuff, I wouldn't be convinced that all the high end refinement would be discernable against a deafening wall of distorted guitars.

Design by committee usually only ever makes progress on the basis of consensus. On Basschat that means you could be here for years.

Rolls used to do one that was quite popular before so many effects units had their own MIDI foot controller.

He'd never get a deal these days, the music is far too intelligent. It's a sad endictment of how the music industry is more about industry than music.

Its Tony Goggle!

In principle - yes and I would argue strongly that they should share the magic that they had as a band (despite John Bonham's death). But as much as I loved seeing them on the live DVD I know they were disappointed with their own playing. So pragmatically...it may be that what they had has gone already.

Here's a clip of me muddling through it at a sound check at the top of the Gherkin in London, through an awesome Akai Deep Impact. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGgHyhgZfy8[/media]

Victor Wooten has done a cover of this one.

Sounds surreal Michael

Noice...tight playing and your bass sounds the beans.

Lee doesn't play upright...what on earth are they doing?!

La Bella make many of their strings in batches. I had to wait 4 months for a 6 string set with the exposed core. So there may be times when a certain kind of string isn't available anywhere because everyone's run out but La Bella haven't received enough orders yet to make another batch.

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1360961137' post='1979237'] If they were out of polarity, would it not just be a case of reversing the wiring on the series switch the reverse the polarity on each Jazz pickup? I get what you're saying, i can test it and all before i start, but the only way i'm really going to see if it will work is if i try, is it not? [/quote] You'll get phase cancellation effects in certain settings. What kinds of effects will depend on the polarity of the humbucker coils.

Why Status in particular and what is it that you are hoping they will deliver?

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1360957865' post='1979149'] Both jazz pickups are going to be wired to a single volume pot, which means both pickups will always be at the same level. The pot will be a pull pot for switching the jazz pickups to series. From the volume pot, the signal will go into the preamp. The MM will have its own volume pot, which won't be a pull pot, but the MM pickup will be wired in series constantly. The signal will go from the volume pot to the preamp. [/quote] Both the jazz coils and the wiring for the coils in the MM humbucker are in parallel in the original instruments. If you want series, that's up to you but as I mentioned above, you'll have to reset your input gain on the amp/effects board every time you switch between parallel and series. It will drive soundmen NUTS. You also won't get the characteristic MM sound if the coils in the humbucker are in series. You will need to be clear about the effects of polarity when you mix the humbucker and the single coils. The jazz scoop comes from the single coils being reverse wound and reverse polarity in comparison to one another. I have no idea what will happen when you mix them with the humbucker.
