You’re clearly a witch and should be burned

3 bass doc 70s precision 3tsb tort relic - never changed the setup as I simply did not need to. home made 60s stack knob jazz In white nitro with tort (relicing nicely) - see My build thread Vintage est96a stingray copy - was yellow now more toffee coloured / translucent

I had the jazz bass version JB62 - there is a suffix -US version which has different pups

Mind you she does keep them on a tight lead and beat them Senseless when they’re naughty

I also have a law degree, a Desmond that I got part time at night. 47 people started, just 7 finished

I work at a large clothing retailer, in past times @Norris was there. I have a unicorn role, I am the only java person but I also do all open source stuff. I also solve problems for people in winston wolf style. SSL, certificates, data formatting and data massage; you name it, I’ll work out how to do it, usually for free so no business outlay right now I’m developing a data lake with data from all over the business including mainframe statistics plus business statistics so people can join that all up in funky graphs without having to learn “green screen” mainframe-speak and export it all to spreadsheets.

Just check continuity from various points to the jack socket outer ring. Then use ohms / resistance to check resistance (is it a good contact rather than merely connected) - if almost none from various points to the jack outer then that contact point was earthed well.

Got a multimeter ?

Somewhere there is a parallel universe where I’m that good or probably better. Sadly I don’t live there. Foxtrot Union Charlie Kilo

The drum episode with Stewart Copeland was unexpectedly good also

It was great and so is she

A stingray has a humbucker so unsure why you have buzz. Suggest it’s another issue like bridge earthing

You can join the back pup to front by a thin strip (62 style and visible ) and the front to main cavity in same way - hidden by scratch plate . This then earths through the bell plate

Put a little sliver out of the control cavity to sit under the bell plate to get easy earthing for the cavity Tape over paint every time

I’ve never owned one but at the prices they charge for it I don’t have any wish to.

Ampeg ba108 or 112 small cheap loud

Rutger is, alongside jamerson, a hero of mine. My last bass build was based on his white jazz

Yes but some were advocating wd40 as a solution and it isn’t, was my point

Just put copper grease on them, wd40 is the wrong thing to use

Thanks - Actually I’m being slowly reminded by long-term storage archives in my heads that when I got the data for the history page, u2 were on there I met Andy Rourke there once. Nice man.

As someone who used to run the boat club website, I was unaware that U2 had played there

I’m not a big fan of slap, especially not in level42 sized doses, but I do appreciate something done skilfully, if I cannot do it.

So all quite lukewarm and non-commital then

Whoa @doc40hz high praise indeed from our resident American member
