    [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1502791227' post='3353525'] there is lots of pictures on the build thread [/quote] I had no idea there was a builder thread

    I'm ashamed to admit that I did this recently

    [quote name='keeponehandloose' timestamp='1502720291' post='3353081'] Is this a posthumous book? [/quote] yes - unless there is a huge hoax going on https://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=90053524

    i still watch his performances in the Blues Brothers movies (particularly Funky Nassau) and hope one day to be halfways as capable. And to be able to "[i]turn goats p1ss into gasoline[/i]" of course.

    [quote name='Steve Woodcock' timestamp='1502653105' post='3352736'] They could have saved 75 pages by getting rid of all of the tab [/quote] True but then it would have been dense and impenetrable

    Ditto Did you read the amazon review ? Some muppet complains that there is insufficient biography and too much transcription
  9. Geek99
    No, like an app that lets you choose beats and tests you, gives feedback etc

    i'll try it, thanks
  11. Geek99
    Can anyone suggest a good one? Thanks

    [quote name='IainS' timestamp='1480020790' post='3181149'] Listening to Woodface right now. It's so good. What did he play? Was it a Spector? [/quote] Ive mostly seen him with a Fender - sometimes they play Sherwood Pines in Nottinghamshire. He is totally underrated. Very tasteful.

    want....

    interested to see how you do the checking and body relic. What did you do the the tuners, or did they come like that ?
  15. Geek99
    You can't Trying putting "reduced" in the title to get people's attention and state in the main post what the new price is
  16. Geek99
    Yes that's what I meant There are better designs than the BBOT but it's iconic so they don't fix it but I don't see why an unseen but not uncommon fault can't be fixed

    ive got a nice dark one in celluloid available

    Thanks Mr east himself has been in touch to advise, maybe I'll start a new trend
  19. Geek99
    if its true, it seems fair to me.

    yes, I used a metal fret mask to stop the chemicals getting into the wood. You can also use masking tape.

    thank you, I have since read that piezos are quite low output so that may be the answer. I want it to be a bit [i]stealth[/i]. http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/piezo-magnetic-mixer/mpm-01.html

    i used brasso on my warwick's frets (they'd not been touched in the last ten years according to the previous owner) and they came up beautifully in moments.

    update us when you get it ...

    not quite - weak or failure prone pickups can be fixed invisibly, and should have been. The bridge issues form part of the arguably iconic cosmetic design and so is harder to change without protests
  25. Geek99
    A generically weak front pickup should have been fixed a long time ago ( it's not like it's a cosmetic change) on an instrument as premium priced as this
