Power tucked underneath and audio on the surface, still going to get some etha type foam for the surace to stop lateral movement even though they are Velcrod down.
Just moved from a Boss BCB60 with its neat cable tidies and power distribution. Im going to keep the boss daisy chain power supply but does anyone have an suggestions for tidying the cables? I have a bit of an OCD thing with cables and dislike the spaghetti look was considering drilling the board and routing underneath or buying a sheet of foam a la Boss?
Cheers
Dave

I got my Hondo 830 from there, downstairs in eldon square, must have been around 1984. Whitley too btw.
Blurry rehearsal shot, going to get a pedal board to fit all the pedals so i dont have to constantly rewire it for different gigs. Still I love it and them

[quote name='funkgod' post='1297209' date='Jul 8 2011, 01:56 PM']Anybody got an idea why the new stingray nut is like it is ???
i have just ordered a new neck from MM and it came with this on it
makes it almost impossable to replace with a nice brass one or the intonation will be out.
ahhhh its all so apparent now !!!£££!!!
i cant see any reason why the change was made, other than you will now have to order a new one through MM, i hate it.
i can see they are now stepped but there is nothing you would not get on the saddles.
[attachment=84239:IMG_2492.jpg]
i wish they would use the old warwick thumb bass "just a nut 1" that was a perfect design
with the strings going over the screw heads set in the brass nut.[/quote]
The nuts have been like this for a while. Its is to redue intonation problems, ie yyour strings are compensated for thickness at one end of the string there for with fixed frets the further from the compensation you go (away from the saddles) the further your intonation drifts. This reduces that by having both halves of the string intoned.
I think its a great idea, mine work brilliantly.
Sold my 8 string to Len,
Very easy and painfree deal, cant recomend Len enough. He even organised collection and travel himself. Whar a gent.
Thanks mate

[quote name='tom1946' post='1275500' date='Jun 20 2011, 05:09 AM']Full circle Dave?[/quote]
Indeed Tom, bit of a consolation buy really, I was after the Jack Casady, but couldn't stretch to it without selling my Overwater but Im still one happy bunny to have a lovely bass back.
[quote name='Machines' post='1275031' date='Jun 19 2011, 05:57 PM']As each saddle has multiple parts, I took each one apart and did all around (even the bits you can't see) - just be careful with the intonation nuts underneath ! Very easy for them to get knocked about.[/quote]
Yeah, Ive done them before, trick is to either remove the bridge completely or lie the bass on its back when removing/replacing the intonation bolts.
Cheers
