    Stunning work

    I've just taken my Squier P-Bass Special out for the fourth gig running. I feel like a traitor to my Ric at the moment, but I'm just loving the sound of the SD-QPs

    One, but only if it's a "light" bulb weighing no more than 8lbs (See what I did there?! )
  5. Norris
    1 In a band situation he'll just change the bulb and get on with it In a music shop or exhibition he'll change it a thousand times in 10 seconds and every one will look sh*t

    I'm still sticking them up to the man

    Will it fit the 19-string uber-bass I'm building?
  9. Norris
    Fantastic and sympathetic repair!

    I'm no soloist myself (firmly in the backline camp) but I think a handful of notes chosen wisely and executed well would be better than a thousand notes played badly. Choose a simple melody and when you're comfortable with that start adding a few little embellishments

    You're going to be gutted the first chip it gets. It looks too nice to play - it should be hanging in an art gallery

    Manufacturing defect/unfit for purpose = full refund or replacement (under UK law, but probably European law too)

    Bah! Missed that one, beaten to it Edit: I'll raise you "Do you use your continental quilted maple bass?"
  14. Norris
    Sheet music?

    I toyed with the idea of building one myself... oh, for a good 5 minutes or so. Then I remembered that I haven't built a single guitar yet, I have a queue of at least 3 that I want to build, and the chances of actually playing it at a gig are pretty negligible. Ah well, dream on and back to the sanding...

    Or get your frets dressed

    When you've got the volume and tone up full it won't make the slightest bit of difference anyway
  18. Norris
    The amp isn't cluttering up the place any more and you've got the guitar you were GASing for. And the problem is?
  19. Norris
    The Charvel Charvette is also a budget guitar - I have one. I've never found another Tokai branded locking trem unit like the one that mine is sporting - and I've searched a lot

    Leave feedback on their feedback thread. Don't be afraid to leave negative feedback (avoiding libel/slander obviously). Always check feedback threads before buying and selling. Luckily most BC members are "diamond geezers" but you do get the odd turd

    The only thing I can think of is the relative strength of the magnets. You could try a "pull" test to compare them by sandwiching a piece of ferrous metal between them and seeing which magnets "win" when you pull them apart. I'm blindly guessing here

    If you need a really thin dowel try some wooden bbq skewers. I'd slacken the strings to make sure there's no tension first though and give it a good 24 hours for the glue to set Edit: Superglue would probably be enough on its own though if you can get it right down in your crack (fnarr!)

    My mate at work has loaned me his active 6 string Sandberg fretless and it's a lovely bass. Nice clean sounds and a gorgeous "mwah" to it
  24. Norris
    Correct. Take it steady though when adjusting and give the neck time to settle between small tweaks
  25. Norris
    Do you hunch over your bass when sitting? Maybe try sitting up straight as an intermediate step to full standing
