  1. [quote name='Staggering on' timestamp='1464031189' post='3055962'] Ooops.Wasn't trying to be rude or disrespectful,just expressing an opinion and not trying to stir the pot like some people do.The last three words of my earlier post say it all-"different strokes.....whatever....",you do your thing,I do mine and we might not understand each other and that's OK.I'm a bit weird by some standards since I own and gig with a Yamaha RBX750A(anybody out there have one?) and a Yamaha SLB200 EUB and play through a Laney amp which is a rare thing here in Canada.Probably lots of people wouldn't get that either...and that's OK.Apologies to any one I have offended,I'll be more careful in the future. [/quote] You didn't offend me, it wasn't what I wanted to see in the thread I started, but you're entitled to an opinion
  2. [quote name='lojo' timestamp='1463983470' post='3055436'] I have both, and often do the darth Vader thing, looking at one then the other , back and forth trying to decide which side to take. [/quote] You should say to them that you find their lack of faith in your ability disturbing before picking one up by its neck
  3. [quote name='lojo' timestamp='1463982688' post='3055433'] Ha, yes was going to add parcel force offer a relicing service [/quote] I have experienced this, they managed to make a total mess of a ProseBass including punching a neat hole right through the wooden nut. Not their fault of course.
  4. [quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1463953829' post='3055350'] Just use it every day for 30 years, that'll do the job.... [/quote] Sadly I have less than 30 useful years left and since I have a disabled partner and small children, I am unable to relic it myself. Its my bass, my money and my duty to play it, so I really don't see why I shouldn't do what I want.
  5. [quote name='Painy' timestamp='1463935840' post='3055121'] I'll keep an eye on this thread then [/quote] You don't need to, I'll let you know. I've asked for it to resemble stings p51 for batteredness and dull paint
  6. [quote name='Painy' timestamp='1463929084' post='3055048'] Could I ask who it is doing it? Norwich is only about 20 miles from me and there's a bit of relic work I may be considering in future. [/quote] You can if it turns out well
  7. Ha ha mr cynic He told me the nitro has to harden before it can be checked Anyway he said at least a week underground
  8. Chap down in Norwich - asked for dull nitro 3t sunburst with lots of mojo and checking. Results will be uploaded for your viewing (dis)pleasure (delete as appropriate) He reckons a month or so
  9. I had an ephiphany with precision and fold my jazz to buy one. Every so often I think it might be needed ve to have a jazz as "they are so much more versatile" then I realise I don't need one really
  10. Its 45mm wide I think its input switched but would imagine batt check would work without Tricky part is that battery is separate and last owner fitted a batt box. Trend now is for built in batteries Wonder if anyone has a scrap apc pro ?
  11. Anyone help? Don't want to buy another and then it worked perfectly all along
  12. [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1463800757' post='3054177'] I'll go against the tide and say: do it. But do it well, with a neat route. Having the bridge pickup makes a Precision a much more versatile instrument. I'd consider a double J humbucker rather than a single J. In my opinion it balances better withe the P pickup. Or even an MM style pickup. [/quote] Having done it myself I agree totally
  13. I think the irony and relic job make it the gold standard for metal
  14. Chopped up mouse mat is pretty close to the original material, I heard
  15. To be honest i was a bit late for prog and whilst I'm sure it's technically very accomplished it really does leave me cold
  16. Well it was indeed an experience - I thought the options quite limited - no choice over bindings, limited tort, no natural finish options
  17. The bass doc wasn't sure, I asked exactly this question when he was building it He said, and I think he is right, having chipped some off, that's it's poly but it's very thin as poly goes. It's way thinner than the mex fenders I've seen
  18. I have a bass with exactly this same body from the bass doc and I can confirm that they are high quality, nice wood but also light - I recognise the sunburst pattern
  19. You can order the same thing much cheaper through aliexpress. I was going to get a Steinberger copy and do a relic sunburst on it just for irony
  20. Yes they come up on eBay and here quite frequently I had an ibanez sr595 and I just didn't get on with it
  21. What do you do for a living then ? I'm now hugely curious
  22. I use a zoom b2 into a little MP3 amp off amazon "aroma" Has small speaker too so I can play along in a quiet room at OM nights If you have an iPhone or iPad then tonestack app is worth a look too
  23. [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1463495362' post='3051788'] There were a couple of years in the 80s that I thought were OK, all the rest of it has been sh*t. The 21st century so far has been the worst of all of it & there's no sign of it getting any better. Looking forward to death quite honestly. [/quote] Being s kid in the 80s was rubbish compared to now Clothes were awful, food was awful and tv was awful
  24. Isn't this off topic?
  25. [quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1462910508' post='3046939'] Good answer, because after the basics are covered why does the issue of justification even arise? [/quote] This
