  1. I'm going there in about a month...
  2. @dannybuoy I had the same experience with exactly that bass - mine was white.
  3. picture might be a good idea ?
  4. @maxfox you're doing just fine. English is complicated
  5. 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
  6. just take the shine off with some wirewool , or the green/rough side of a pan scourer .
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. Just shield it with foil - simples
  10. 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
  11. not all MIM pickups are created equal look underneath and you'll find codes to look up
  12. 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
  13. I forgot “dancing Queen “with ABBA @4000 thinking on same lines I see
  14. 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.
  15. i think Duck only smoked a pipe in the Blues Brothers movie.
  16. "change" also
  17. I was just saying she is pretty 😕 nice thread WoT
  18. Could you maybe lever the bridge down or something ? A little like a drop d tuning peg
  19. 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.
  20. i recommend the "blues tribute" pickup from "Only Music" on ebay - cheap and very fat
  21. I'm planning a mary kaye style see-thru white for my jazz
  22. Excuse my ignorance but how is a pit bull different ?
  23. One of my favourite tunes
  24. 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.
