    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
  4. Geek99
    No, like an app that lets you choose beats and tests you, gives feedback etc

    i'll try it, thanks
  6. 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.

    interested to see how you do the checking and body relic. What did you do the the tuners, or did they come like that ?
  10. 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
  11. 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
  14. 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
  20. 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
  21. Geek99
    Did you sell it?

    Can someone advise me what hardware I need to do a concentric "outer" blend (centre notch) and "inner" tone ? I think I can do the wiring it's the hardware choices I'm uncertain about To fit a Jazz bass with single coils and two volume controls The blend is for a piezo to be used or blended in to whatever the two volumes select Thanks

    Hardy Smith ? no- just inside the borders of [s]Mordor[/s] Mansfeld - near the Sir John Cockle - he normally works on acoustics but he made a lovely job of my Stingray - Anthony Dixon
  25. Geek99
    Reason I ask is that I was toying with building a jazz bass with a piezo bridge and putting a concentric blend pot on the tone position (so tone as normal but also piezo balance)
