    He used to play double bass and had strong hands. I don’t think a bass players preferred config is sufficient justification for not getting their music imho

    I guarantee it’s not improved

    I don’t watch tv. I never get time.

    Coalville is a bit rubbish for this, which is why I generally refer to it as coalvile

    Broken middle wire, now fixed it does indeed have 21k ohm resistance
  7. Geek99
    Softer cell?

    Perhaps but I consider it less likely that they will succeed versus someone with drive

    I’m always hard on myself. People content with mediocrity rarely prosper

    See that didn’t bother me. I played bass behind an acoustic guy who it turned out disliked bass and he wouldn’t even tell me he was playing next. When I worked it out I quickly googled the chords and made something up. Winging it is actually something I’m good at

    The pup is just buzzing with white wire to tip of the jack and earth to sleeve any ideas ?

    I’ve been back there since, ran into guitarist and apologised for the train wreck. The compère had asked a local dep to give me some tips (they both think I just lack confidence though I’d add “talent”) and I asked my drummer buddy to spend five minutes drumming for me so I can get used to it without a noisy guitarist top guys

    Meaning it won’t beep?
  15. Geek99
    Why would he ? He is clearly has excellent taste and appreciates tort

    Strings arrive tomorrow or Monday but for sone reason the body doesn’t seem to have an earth wire to bridge

    Just the pickups at the wire for some reason I couldn’t get the connectivity tester to read across both coils but resistance did

    I thought the pup was broken as I was just getting “1” on my meter but I tried the 20k ohm range and was getting 20.2k across both each was around 10.4 individually is that normal ? It’s a Seymour Duncan baselines model

    Don’t get it, sorry the only thing I know her from is the Elton John thing

    So you can give your own point of view ? So we can understand your situation better and adjust our expectations? edit - read thread in full, hope things are better for you

    What should reduce if I turn each pot to zero? Excuse my ignorance
  22. Geek99
    Full disclosure I don’t have an amp right now and I’m using a zoom pedal to hear the bass I’m building strings arriving Monday but I want to test each part can I use a meter to check the whole thing from the jack socket ? thanks for your help both

    That endows automatic goddess status 👍
  24. Geek99
    Obviously black wire black lead, red wire white lead but which dial settings ? I know Henries aren’t on the dial. Resistance I assume but which range ? thank you
  25. Geek99
    Because other people do. They continue to buy and so drive the price up and arguably feed the perceived desirability. I see only antique value myself.
