[quote name='40hz' timestamp='1429535637' post='2752339'] Where can you buy a Tokai these days? I always hankered after a hard puncher. [/quote] All over the bay Item 271843505560 or 291381310187 as examples Think they are Chinese made now

[quote name='barkin' timestamp='1429526190' post='2752190'] Don't know about basses, but I've owned a couple of '80's Tokai guitars - Strat & Les Paul copies - and both were very, very good. [/quote] Me too

I've used this very stuff from this very seller countless times with perfect results Made my jap 62 jazz utterly silent

You can get it easily on eBay - look for "conductive adhesive copper" Item 360195343162 is an example You could alternatively put a blob of solder on the edge of each piece of tape and check continuity

eight handed bass solo and three lovely ladies who can also sing Awesome

Brilliant in its entirety

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1429293061' post='2750208'] I cracked the finish on my US Std when drilling for the bridge cover. I later discovered the trick of using some masking tape on the area and drilling into that. Not tried it myself but it should help if you do another! [/quote] That can work but a really sharp drill bit is more important

This is mine https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=F1B48FF289BAE6D2!557&authkey=!AI7gaYTXDBcOhac&v=3&ithint=photo%2cJPG Built by the bass doc to resemble a 70s p. I love it although the neck is a bit of a handful , pup is from a mex classic 50s Has that ponderous clanky dort of tone

I did get this happen once (mind you I've only played live twice) and it was from a guitard who told me I "sounded immense" (playing a stingray clone on flatbed through a small ampeg combo). Everyone was clapping along so it can't have been too far out. Told said guitard that I'd made loads of errors but he hadn't noticed apparently

Pretty much gas free I do hanker for a fiver once in a while but usually stop myself realising that I don't devote enough time/get enough time to practice anyway . I have a precision, acoustic and a stingray clone and it's enough One day I will try fretless, eub, fiver etc Mind you a really big stack would massively annoy my teenage son...

Sounds like you're doing ok to me

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1428330880' post='2740275'] That really takes some beating, for someone to go through an audition and then walk off with stuff, beyond belief. Too late to go to the police now, but would be interesting to see if he is actively looking for a band - could set up another audition with a fake band and a mate's phone number and see if he applies?! Does the GK just take standard power cables? I could stick you one in the post as I have a couple of spares. [/quote] Put up a fake ad and see if he tries again ? Then you can make him a sandwich (hint of knuckle)

I've had several and wouldn't change them unless they were broken or defective in some serious way

They are just being ambitious Never give up. Never.

such a cloud of negativity... congratulations to BlueJay

A very nice fender jazz 75 reissue cij Natural with rosewood board and pearl blocks

A slice of washing-up sponge works fine

having played both, I'd say there isnt a lot in it, especially not enough to justify the more-than-double price jump

Yes mine was fine so suggest strings at a lighter gauge also

What about a special section for music hardware ?

[quote name='Wonky2' timestamp='1426722099' post='2721372'] I'm a bass player but play guitar also... Never in a band though ..... I'm fairly proficient but I stick to what I know in terms of a band environment. [/quote] Me also. I dont see how noticing what a guitard is doing and being able to think about it for a moment and do something appropriate, rather than rely on your ear when he's done it, can possibly be a bad thing. No one is asking you to actually touch one of the evil skinny-string things...
