Wednesday I think

no, quite right. I'm also a little uncertain why they would be turned over so quickly.

[quote name='thegummy' timestamp='1480165589' post='3182143'] I've heard that but does it not leave it unfinished and vulnerable? [/quote] I just use a fresh dish sponge (the rough green side) and take the shine off

i'm in the outskirts of mansfield - but not for much longer. Whitwell is sadly a little far as I have to work around child bedtimes and be available quickly in case they wake.

Quite enjoyed that actually

I'm assuming that's in welsh ? Even though I don't understand it, It's a beautifully done song and she can both sing and play ** in small print ... nice looking lady as well. (In a nice way)

is that a recent picture ? I know he's so talented and everything, I just find him personally very annoying.

I'd echo some of the above, very competently done (well done to Sybil also), I wouldn't choose to listen to this style myself but I can appreciate something done well.

Does anyone go to this ? Obviously whilst wearing a dirty raincoat as its *shudder* six string related. Following the demise of my previous local OM, I'm just wondering if[list] [*]its any good [*]if I'm likely to hear the sound of pitchforks being sharpened just for turning up with either an acoustic bass or a precision with flats/rounds and a mute. [/list] Please no monty python style "I don't (know)", "nor me" etc thanks

i found that the neck was an issue at first then I got over it. Thats a total bargain. Please PM me if you wver wish to sell.

Pictures man, right now dammit! I was sceptical too, now I'd never use anything else

It was bolt on, so probably the cheapo version

It was a sort of dark tobacco red with generic round black plastic knobs I was surprised how small it was - I'd been expecting something huge

Does anyone have an opinion on these ? Tried one in Matlock music shop today and was quite taken - but not enough to bust my quota

I have an urge to make a natural 75 reissue type jazz using a hard Ash body and 70s spacing. I know about the sanding bit - does anyone have any recommendations for particular sanding sealer, and clear lacquer - tinted or not. I want it nitro and to be a thin coat. There will be tort content later thanks

[quote name='such' timestamp='1495666728' post='3305801'] I know a very good studio engineer/producer who's also a brilliant bassist and owns several 70s jazzes as he finds them the best basses ever. I won't mention his name as he's somebody in Poland and here he's just unpronounceable He thinks it's a combination of things (obviously), but the biggest part being a heavy ash (not swamp ash) body with its grain filled by Fullerplast, that very dense, heavy stuff. He had a couple of newer basses refinished this way and claims to get very close. Then of course the pickup position, the pickups themselves etc... [/quote] I always thought they used Swanp ash what other kind of ash would they have used? Swan ash grows in the US I asked out of curiosity because I want to build one

Given parts bin nature of fender build it could be either

I just plug my bass into the zoom and that straight into the PA. It just works and its plenty loud enough to shake cups at 30 feet. No amp needed.

There's a couple for sale right now in the marketplace, budget depending of course

i wouldn't worry about it being a badass bridge, its a straight replacement if you ever wanted to put the OE one back on, and they're nothing special.I'd buy it, if it were me.

i've had a jap strat and jazz bass - I regret selling both.
