[quote name='roger' timestamp='1384690398' post='2279438'] I've just purchased a nice silver series sunburst p bass and I wanted to give it a light relic look, does anyone know what the body wood is? I'm guessing the answer is 'basswood' but it feels so light! I just wondered if anyone would have an insight as to how it would relic? I would just like to dull the gloss finish with some minor sanding like a road worn, any help would be greatly appreciated. Dodge [/quote] Nooooo Dont relic it I don't know what is all the rage at present with all this relicing/roadworn look but IMHO it just makes a good guitar look S**T (runs for cover)

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1384605499' post='2278589'] Blimey! All this criticism because a band sounds like other bands from the past. I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Siouxsie as well. There seems to be a big thing about funk on Basschat, and yet almost all the funk bands that people rave about sound like music from the 70s. There's nothing wrong with some young people taking from the past, they have something to say lyrically about the current, they have what seems to me to be a real fire in their bellies. Never mind, I like them. [/quote] I agree I like music from the past decades in fact alot of the stuff I like I did not ever get to see as I was too young at the time and some of the music I like was from decades before I was even born....maybe a lot of todays up and coming bands like other eras and it is great to see them paying a tribute so some good music and bands that half of today's generation had not even heard of before one of today's band covered the original song so it is kind of keeping the music alive I guess? And paying tribute to the artists or bands that motivated them.

In fairness you are only paying to use the service to advertise goods just like you do on ebay or Gumtree or whatever and there rules have to be obeyed whether we like them or not so why should it be any different for basschat?

[/quote] This is the solution there is no way they can work lose from the wood if fitted correctly and level as they tap a new thread I have used these before with fantastic results and they also give the bass or guitar better sustain. I would say that if you had problems with them coming loose they were not installed correctly

I have never heard of that brand it looks a bit 80's to me but yeah nice wood grain

[quote name='neilb' timestamp='1384543035' post='2278041'] 2010 US Std Jazz, has the newer Hi mass bridge. The screws sit proud of the barrels and shred my right hand whilst playing. Im looking at ordering some shorter ones that would sit "inside" the barrel rather than poke out at the top. Could some kind person let me know what diameter these are. Im looking at getting ones that are 8mm long. Also, do the thread pitches vary? Any idea where I can get such items? Thanks neil [/quote] Can you not rub them down with a small bit of emery paper or something?

[quote name='mr pablo' timestamp='1384528476' post='2277792'] Right wee update, I was gonna just bite the bullet and put it in to my local shop to get looked at, but I forgot to lift the bass this morning so I gave the above a go as my mate hasn't had the time to come round with the stuff. So armed with some extra wire and leccy tape I went to work........ Success! we have sound and its not quiet either! Gave both pickups a try individually and together, happy days at least the pickups aren't duff I might just wire the pups straight to the jack after all if I can remember how to solder [/quote] Why not get Kiogon to make you a solderless loom up? there good at will save you no end of messing about

Nice Bass I listened to the sound clip and it sounds very Indian inspired to me I liked it wasnt so sure about the "ravey" bit though sorry. Just to think 12 months ago I would of just turned it off after a few seconds and said well that is s--t but when you play an instrument seriously you tend to appreciate all kinds of music good work mate

[quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1384338080' post='2275342'] I replaced the Duncan Designed ones in my VM Squier P-bass with Toneriders - much better now, they are good quality and have more punch. Recommended. [/quote] Thanks for the reply I think I am gonna get me some then or maybe wait for Father Christmas to bring me some hehe

I liked it it is like the art work you see in quality kids books

That looks great good job mate
