My cij jazz is still wearing the elixirs it had when I got it from oldgit.they still work well enough for my purposes. My vintage ray copy has new ish rotosounds from bgm mag which seem to be lasting well although I don't gig. I've bought a three pack of hartke strings off the bay so will try those next

Try prometeus (note spelling) I know he makes them. Making me some pickups at the moment

Bass guitar for dummies is worth a read. He's very good at explaining how to work over chords. He's very breif on how to play rhythms jumping straight from quarter notes into a syncopated rhythm. Good section on maintenance Good section on playing styles of music

He sells the pickups loose also...

Yes thanks but his basses are nothing like mine. Anyone tried the pickups in a jazz ?

Preferably with jazz single coils Thanks

There's a whole thread on thid on the repairs forum, my 0.02p is to mention copper foil with conductive adhesive. This reduces the soldering beeded. Use a multimeter set to ohms to make sure that every piece of foil has a near 0 ohm resistance connection to earth

I have the sr16- it can hold several drumkits, but you can't associate them with songs or patterns so switching to the right kit is manual operation. Painful

I can probably come for an hour or so, I would have organised it but can't be there all day to collect the money as I have a partner with a debilitating illness and a small baby.

Thanks anyway

Yes, all shielded with minimal resistance. Some earths go direct to output jack to avoid earth loops.

I read the sticky above but want opinions. I live in a newish house with rcd, I turned the lights off. My bass is a 62 ri jap jazz. It has conductive copper foil lining with barely mesureable resistance from the pickup cavities to the earth side of the jack. Ditto the tailpiece. The noise reduces when volume turned down, but its still noisy. How noisy can I expect a single coil jazz to still be ? What do you guys experience?

[quote name='ThomBassmonkey' post='812986' date='Apr 20 2010, 07:28 PM']There was talk of a Nottingham one, not sure what's happening though.[/quote] was my idea.... i have no time to do so - partner with M.E. and a small baby. I realised that I can attend one for a couple of hours but not manage the whole thing, collect money etc

Will be in touch when I've done some more practice - still learning. Have partner with m.e. and a small baby so time scarce. Do you have practice space ? Which side of loughborough are you on ? Leicester or north ?

I have the 210 and I like it - the tube drive effect is also good. Has aux in but no phones socket sadly. Not managed to turn it up loud due to small children in house
