I sold a bass to Hummion, he was polite, willing to trust and swift to pay in full. Would happily deal again.

I recommend the ones made by bass chatter matte_black. Very quiet

I've finished with it now

Isn't that right handed ?

You're not thick, from my perspective at least - I'd struggle with odd tunings too.

I recorded it and deleted it after 5 mins. Absolutely dreadful

Deeply jealous of all of you - toddler, teenager and disabled partner so lucky to get an hour a month

[quote name='WhoNeedsYou' timestamp='1362087750' post='1995711'] I wouldn't be too fussed if I was told "thank you but no thanks" I think no response at all is just plain rude. Maybe I am just to.sensitive. [/quote] No, youre not, thats perfectly reasonable as a response.

[quote name='WhoNeedsYou' timestamp='1362017920' post='1994665'] Thank you for the calming words. They picked the guy who was leaving as I got there for my try out, my guess is the decision was made before I played a note which annoys me a bit. [/quote] That happens in all walks of life. You just have to get used to it. The poster above is right, if they didnt tell you, befor ethey announced it on facebook, then they sound like complete dicks and youre probably better off without them.

I had a strat that had a mix of staggeered and not pickups. Not really a noticeable difference. In addition to the P vs J solution point, on a jazz bass you'd be tilting the pickups slightly to compensate for the string mass from low to high anyway so any disparity in volume on the middle two versus outer strings shoudl be negligible.
