Any advice ? Do I need to use grain filler ? Body is sunburst now, bare wood in places but acrylic paint - flakes off easily though

I recommend a rub down with the green tougher side of a normal pan sponge

agree with machines above - they just work and its a sound people just [i]recognise[/i]. I played mine flat and wide open througha Zoom B2 on ampeg (slightly) and a PA and it rocked. Its sounded fatter than augustus gloop at a chocolate eating contest.

i only have one Precision, with Warwick Red rounds on it - if I was into flats as well, I could conceive of needing two maximum. I know one BC member has 15 precision basses. My partner heard him say this and said "dont get any ideas about that...." - she tolerates four basses as long as they bring different things to the party. However, if you earned the money, and its a good price where you're not being scalped, have whatever you like.

Foo fighters apparently I wouldn't be swayed by a name but I could be influenced over by it to try a style of instrument I wouldn't have considered before - a Hofner for example

good work there maybe you should start taking commissions?

Headphone amp works for me - get one with a built in MP3 player is my advice - Amazon do a cheap one with an ad card in it - put this ASIN in to search bar B00P7QETOA Totally feel your pain about the child care time vacuum

If it's not talking to you, move it on

i bought a Hohner B2a from Vmaxblues which arrived quickly and predictably via UPS, even at Xmas. Vmax kindly expedited the shipping so it arrived on a particular day due to my rapidly changing location just before Xmas.

I wish I lived near you, I'd be there

[/quote] Not my cup of tea to play but love the workmanship

Just reuse the standard screws ?

You sound like me when I played my first jap precision

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1452002996' post='2945371'] HG Mould spray. Very good stuff. [/quote] Awesome stuff - soak a tissue in it and leave it on the mould for 15 minutes You can get it at b and q and also Amazon

I tried boiling once but it wasn't effective for long- I just use cheapie strings instead

Sounds like a bargain to me, my local one is selling a line6 guitar head for £69

I have trouble with this as I play infrequently and have little practice time Listen to it until you're sick of it then split it into sections so it doesn't seem such a huge task is my advice

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1451539464' post='2941344'] The MIM 70s one mentioned at £540 is a great price, plus they`re a nice bass. Real substantial feel to them. [/quote] Yes I'd buy that one

Yes a sad loss musically , I used to think she was hot too

Put them in the metal bin at your local tip ? It's what i do

Suggest "ain't no stopping us now" as recognisable to the average joe

Is that a big enough subject to fill a book ?

Having given a good show at the church OM night with a scratch duo playing a song I've heard twice - I'm intending to go back and smash it again with huge slabs of Precision bass goodness

i've got a zoom b2.1u which is amazing. Cheap as chips on ebay
