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.

"change" also

I was just saying she is pretty 😕 nice thread WoT

Could you maybe lever the bridge down or something ? A little like a drop d tuning peg

Lady in black is a bit cute

they ask a lot of money for their product and pretty much only because its made in America. Whilst I appreciate that Americans are paid more than the Chinese; its not proportionately better for being made in the US, or each one absolutely perfect . Its not like each one is carefully blessed by magic pixies upon completion. Just priced out of its market. I'd say the same about US fenders. I had an epiphone les paul that blew a real gibson out of the water once i'd replaced the pickups. Worth the extra to go Gibson? I didn't feel so.

i recommend the "blues tribute" pickup from "Only Music" on ebay - cheap and very fat

I'm planning a mary kaye style see-thru white for my jazz

Excuse my ignorance but how is a pit bull different ?

One of my favourite tunes

unless its a fairly patient cat that doesn't mind a few nasty knocks on the head. I walked past Cranes when I was in Cardiff a few years ago, very interesting stuff in the window.

@Horrorhiker No Mexican since about 2007 or so has been really good. The earlier ones were a bit ropey as well as inconsistent in quality ive tried 97, 99, 03 And 09 my pet theory about the skunk stripe is that they didn’t season the dark wood well and it moved a bit once assembled but that could be rubbish like the others said - just sand it flat if it bothers you. I used it to help put my thumb in the right spot

@Horrorhiker I have had a few problems like this but they were all on early mex examples. I don’t think it’s quite the problem that it used to be

ugh - too many strings and so weedy nice work though...:)

worth noting that bass players were pretty integral to the hendrix sound; imagine "Freedom" without billy cox and "purple haze" without Noel.

i think "go and f&*K yourself" would be an acceptable answer to that.
