That's a beautiful looking bass. Fabulous!

My most pronounced callus is on my pinkie. I think that answers the question

Don't try and get under the decal with the Stanley knife blade as it will dig in. You'll want it at about 90 degrees. Have a look on YouTube for people using cabinet scrapers - it's the same technique

The bridge (saddles) to 12th fret distance needs to be the same as the 12th fret to nut distance for the frets to be in the correct places. That would then involve moving the bridge on your Jag - which would then leave holes and need the bridge ground wire moving. Then your pickups are not in the same relative position... etc. Buy another bass

Any guitar building and modding is fine by me Post pictures though. It should be an interesting mix

I keep my own teaspoon at work! As for removing the TRC, well I had my reasons (see avatar). The original is safely tucked away though

If someone is particularly persistent about us playing song X by artist Y, we'll announce a "new" song by artist Y and then play which ever song we were going to do anyway. Most of the time we'll have a go at requests. We encourage them. As for requesting mid-song we'll usually ignore them until the song is done

Actually you could probably make your own plaque by printing it on the computer and shoving it through a laminator. See my avatar - I made my own TRC to replace the original (and genuine)

You could always leave the original one there and just fit another for your thumb. Or get a little personalised name plaque made to screw into the holes?

[quote name='Muzz' timestamp='1496245904' post='3309909'] We don't rehearse much in the function band (at all over the last few years), but that's just what works for us - we all know each other and every song inside out before we play it for the first time. Since we dropped down to a trio, though, there's been some reworking of the set and new songs, so we've actually had a couple of rehearsals recently. [/quote] Blimey - I could have written that same statement, except for the word function and that we've always been a trio

I have a tuner app on my Android phone. I also recently bought a fairly cheap D'Addario clip on tuner which seems pretty good

I'd be tempted to check the ground connections on the back of the pots, in fact that all ground points have a good connection to the jack sleeve and to each other.

Seriously though, you could try getting him to clap the rhythm as he sings solo

It sounds like he's simply not taking the job seriously. A singist is a musician, the same as every other member of the band. If you're not going to strive to be better, you never will be. Raw talent, to whatever degree, will only get you so far. As the saying goes, take a s**t or get off the pan!

I've had mine a year or two now and it's been very reliable after the initial in-warranty hiccup. It's been gigged regularly and sounds great in pretty much any room. I've never struggled for a bit of heft

Plug cutters are not the easiest things to use. I'd try everything to avoid removing wood first. Heat and pliers on the screw stub first. Try to cut a slot and use a flat bladed screwdriver. Failing that carefully saw a flat surface then use a centrepunch and drill the screw out

An Irish pub in town. Had to set up at 7pm and then hang around to play 11-2. Even though we are in no way even close to an Irish band we were TOLD to play a couple of traditional folk songs. The clincher though was the threatening atmosphere - from the landlady and bar staff! The crowd were fine

That looks great

We usually run everything from a single socket. That's a guitar amp, bass amp, mixer, powered Mackies, foldback wedge and the LED lights plus controller. We've never had an issue. You'd need a fair bit more kit to draw more than 13 amps. We always use an RCD adapter too.

Put a set of flats on it?

That looks fabulous!

Have you got a multi-fx pedal with amp simulation to dirty yourself up with?

Have you got a set of drill bits? It's a fairly simple way of measuring a hole to the nearest mm

Sorry but band intros just reminds me of Jazz Club on the Fast Show (great!) where he introduces the drummer about 6 times in succession
