Yes, literally being an unwilling participant in a "jam" round the neighbours house. The main protagonist is a bespectacled chap of indeterminate age thrashing away on an acoustic guitar. I got to bed at 1:30 this morning and up again at 6:30 for work. Any suggestions how to make an exit before that guitar ends up in a place that's certain to taint the lacquer? Not quite the chilled Xmas eve I was hoping for

Excellent job!

That looks terrific! Must not GAS, must not GAS. Resist!

Lovely. Have you got a shot of the whole bass?

Nice job

I'm not familiar with your bass but my Stagg EUB has a truss rod, so can be adjusted just like a bass guitar if required.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1450526053' post='2933585'] Tone is tone. It's not necessarily the 'hottest' signal through the lead that gives the best tone for any particular occasion. Just sayin'. [/quote] True. A good tone is a good tone however you achieve it

I suppose it depends if you change your tone much for different songs and whether you can reach your amp shoehorned in the corner of the Dog & Duck. Or indeed if you have time between songs. Personally I find my passive tone control very useful and use it all the time. I don't feel I have anything missing from my tone when it's rolled off

Have a good one yourself

This bass right here on BC: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/274402-squier-standard-p-bass-special/

I was supposed to be the keyboard player in my first school band having learnt piano. I'd also done a lot of stuff on bass trombone. I didn't have a keyboard, the band didn't have a bass player and was considered more important than keys. A bass was easily available (another Kay SG plank of crap) from my then music teacher for a couple of quid and a bassist was born

On a guitar the right note is just a bend away from the wrong one. On a bass it's already too late

The loft wasn't very kind to my Aria (refinish thread linked in sig!). I wouldn't put another up there. Under the bed or in a wardrobe is lot better place.

Most threads of this ilk generally advise to tell him to take "his tone" elsewhere

I can't comment on basses but my guitarist loves his thinline telecaster copy and users it regularly in his pro band. Well constructed, light as a feather, cheap as chips and sounds great

A large plastic sheet or offcut of linoleum might be in order

Also check that the saddles are the same height or at least within the adjustment range
