you jammy jammy jammy bar stewards My basses live in their bags in a corner of the kitchen and my zoom lives in a cupboard. ** But we are moving soon and there should be a bedroom free.... **in the style of Life of Brian

I have a tanglewood odyssey with an artec apc pro. Previous owner fitted a battery box on upper bout. I chased and found a fault in the junction block that joined the battery box The preamp still doesn't work (I'm pushing the batt check button and it doesn't light up, new 9v batt checked with a multimeter Does anyone have one or experience of one ? Do I need to plug in a lead to get it to work? Do they "burn"?

I would get a multimeter and check each piece wire for continuity

At the OM night(I'm the only bass player in the village) I usually sound check with Groove is in the heart - even the old folk ft start nodding

[quote name='ProfJames' timestamp='1462823749' post='3046080'] I am not long into learning and I want to do the right thing by my basses. Will try the washers first. A strap for each bass as well, Thanks all...... [/quote] You can buy a bag of ten, five pairs off aliexpress for peanuts, they work perfectly

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1443106590' post='2872277'] The 50s CVP has a different pup to the 60's CVP. [/quote] And a rounded shape so he cant rest thumb on it is how I read it

I've had exactly this one and regret selling it

Mine doesn't neck dive either

Burn the heretic !

[quote name='operative451' timestamp='1462128407' post='3040510'] BTW - is your first language German by any chance? I ask because it can seem blunt directly translated to English; so 'obviously' in the way you used it sounds like 'yes, any idiot could have worked that out'. I'm not actually sure what the 'proper' English would be as i for some reason still use slang like 'totally!' for that kind of phrase. I guess, 'so it is' or 'of course!' Would work? [/quote] "I would agree?"

Actually wd40 works on most sticker glue, if not, try white spirit

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1461580930' post='3035774'] Carmine Rojas ... Carmine Appice ... Marco Mendoza ... what's in a name? [/quote] A world of misunderstanding and confusion?

Was thinking of Marco Mendoza I now realise

Whitesnake, I thought ?

Isn't that covered in post 2?

Once in never out I bought a custom bass doc p and I wouldn't sell it for anything

Youth hostelling with Chris eubank?

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1461243826' post='3032825'] Begs the question, why would you want to impersonate Meat Loaf in the first place ? Also Meat Loaf should maybe feel honoured that someone does . Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. [/quote] Surely that would depend on whether he feels both imitated AND flattered ?

It's his choice to say OK or to request "cease and desist", it's his image that's being aped

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1461009271' post='3030651'] If I could get some black chrome knobs they would probably go on there! [/quote] Shiny ones, like the bridge
