I now have neck in rosewood (60s logo) arrived @Groove Harder three hole jazz plate arrived @Rumple wiring kit arrived @greenolive shielding foil arrived tug bar arrived deluxe neckplate (wonky corner) arrived BUT now sold on ebay so to be replaced with a Fender badged normal one. ARRIVED geddy lee jazz bass pickups arrived concentric knobs incoming BBOT bridge with threaded saddles arrived from US straplocks arrived chrome ferrules arrived tort celluloid plate stock DARK tort pawlownia body from ebay arrived paint - white blonde in a nitrocellulose burst arrived Teak grain filler to really stand out under the blonde burst arrived sanding sealer arrived All items now ordered - £12.44 to pay on the bridge from US was a nasty surprise. £8 of that was RM handling charge ! I've been inspired by that video of Rutger Gunnarson playing Dancing Queen on his 61 jazz Having trouble with OneDrive so all photos are now attached - starting page 4

I disagree - I just love the sound and feel, accompanied or not it took a squier vm p to change my mind but as soon as I’d sold it on for a fat profit (bought as “parts” and then fettled back to life) I put the money towards a Bass Doc precision

@Deeper and down i recommend Folsom Prison Blues as its dead easy and you can jazz it up - I add some extra notes every fourth bar to make a "clack" effect like railroad tracks. Its the first song I played live and the crowd went mental. #satisfying Also Wicked Game - Chris Isaak - I have a homemade tab for this if it will help/.

very tastefully done and she can sing too.

thank you but its little one's birthday and she loves hotels.

you called Mandy a hoot above, and I, unaware of the advertising history of Paultons and its use of "hoot", assumed Steve Browning had missed his quote @Steve Browning apologies, my lack of knowledge there, you were not wrong at all.

steady on there, @wateroftyne .....

intended for @wateroftyne perhaps ? I don't recall any characters in Peppa Pig called Mandy (Wendy Wolf maybe)

@super al both - DD#2 loves peppa pig and we are staying in southampton hilton

I'm going there in about a month...

@dannybuoy I had the same experience with exactly that bass - mine was white.

picture might be a good idea ?

@maxfox you're doing just fine. English is complicated

Indeed it does make sense fess up time: these are stated to be from a geddy lee bass. I have no reason to disbelieve it

just take the shine off with some wirewool , or the green/rough side of a pan scourer .

well, if I'd said "phwoarr nice ti..." I could understand the fuss and as the father of two stunningly pretty little girls, agree, but I didn't. if you type @ and wait a moment you get a list of users to suit and you can drill down. Make sure you click on their avatar and the link goes orange. They then get a nudge to look. Bit like facebook

steady on there, you'll get the same treatment from the misogyny police that I did for suggesting that one of @wateroftyne 's fellow performers was cute

Just shield it with foil - simples

I've bought some jazz bass pickups on ebay. They have codes 048612 & 048613 underneath which I know are fender codes for the bobbins - they have "59" or "se" handwritten on in white (its a little unclear) Standard spec for US jazz is allegedly Neck 8.3 kohm and Bridge 7.8kOhm they look fine visually I used a multi-meter and measured at the soldered contacts neck 6.9 k Ohm bridge 7.57 k Ohm can anyone tell me what the effect of the resistances being reversed (ie relatively between the two positions) is ? If I've measured wrongly please advise where I should correct my technique - I used the 20 kOhm range. thanks

not all MIM pickups are created equal look underneath and you'll find codes to look up

actually I quite like that strat. Those are quite brave designs (I particularly like the pink les paul) although I do prefer the look of the epiphones slightly

I forgot “dancing Queen “with ABBA @4000 thinking on same lines I see

I too would choose suspicious minds. @Beedster Also Folsom Prison Blues with Johnny Cash - I totally flew playing this alone with an acoustic guitarist and it would just be ace playing this with Johnny Cash if he were less dead. Crowd went mental.

i think Duck only smoked a pipe in the Blues Brothers movie.
