[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1468777637' post='3093259'] Have you ever considered that you've got Aspergers ? It's something that I have, and can cause anxiety problems, which it sounds like you have. Just get yourself organised, make notes and lists, anything to keep on top of things. Also speak to your bandmates about it, if they know, then they may do something to help. [/quote] Certainly possible, my kid has it

thanks for the heads-up; that area is a nightmare to park in though. Other side of the road from the shell garage

I played one, it was very nice indeed

[quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1468396894' post='3090593'] Heel access doesn't have to be an issue, every instrument I've owned has moved about a bit when subject to big temperature fluctuations, but I've never had to resort to adjusting the truss rod on the gig - if you like a really low action and play lots of gigs with difficult temperature/humidity conditions then it might be a problem, if you like to experiment with different strings regularly then it will be a minor inconvenience that is worth living with if the instrument works well for you. [/quote] Just chisel a bit out of the body if you need to adjust it more than once, mine has this adjustment and its no biggie

[quote name='madshadows' timestamp='1468349801' post='3090376'] Blackstar do this, I have the guitar version which is great [url="https://new.andertons.co.uk/p/FLYBASS/combo-amps/blackstar-fly-bass-mini-bass-guitar-amp"]https://new.andertons.co.uk/p/FLYBASS/combo-amps/blackstar-fly-bass-mini-bass-guitar-amp[/url] John [/quote] I think that's perfect, thank yoy

can anyone recommend one ? Doesn't have to be amazingly loud but quite light would be good - sub £50 please

they have - I also highly recommend UPS and their access point services. Usually a local newsagent

Try rubbing it gently with a clean pan scourer sponge -it takes the shine off gently

I wish. Sadly real life prevents me doing so on anything resembling an even infrequent basis

[quote name='MarkG3' timestamp='1467537468' post='3084286'] I really like it, love worn/relic basses and guitars! [/quote] Thanks for the support maybe I should take it up professionally since I did some of it

Sadly not Next OM night is end July - looking forward to it tho as I should have found time to connect electrics up and restring The bridge cover is busy relicing in a ziplock bag I carry to work everyday - some keys in there too Frets bridge and tuners untouched for functionality reasons

I got told by the cutest girl in the room that I sounded "£&@king awesome" (precision plus zoom set to ampeg) luckily partner and children weren't there to hear That audience don't get to hear much bass...

I have pics to prove that I did a certain amount of it chap in Norwich was braver and put the nitro coat on and having rubbed it down a little it looks the part , enough for me at least I agree about the Jaco - I think the limelights are better for far less money

[quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1466002323' post='3072751'] What does one do to a bass to get wear on the inside of the upper horn both front and back? (in the normal course of wear and tear as opposed to 'relicing') [/quote] I don't know but Andy Baxter is listing s 1971 on eBay with Exactly this horn wear wear : item 182191307969

So is it nitro? It hasn't been reliced like nitro

Myrelic job is better than that

The 80s ones were jap, and very very close to the real thing, I had a Tokai Strat; the Chinese ones have a different to fender headstock. I can't talk about the quality as I didn't try them yet Example jap http://basschat.co.uk/topic/286578-fs-tokai-jazz-sound-mij-1981/page__fromsearch__1

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1466689462' post='3077918'] Did they even make Tokai basses in China? [/quote] Yes they do, mr sarcastic

2011 perhaps, china?
