    No record player, radio always tuned to radio 4.

    agree I’d focus on set up… a BC member near you can probably help if you’re new you won’t really know what you’re looking for in a new pickup if the setup isn’t great you’ll be fighting the instrument when things could be much smoother

    Nope, it worked very well

    I used sesame oil on a fingerboard and it came up very nicely

    Sea foam green possibly ? Close though this https://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-player-stratocaster-sea-foam-green/961825?gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1ZGtp96qggMVxd7tCh2NCwM8EAQYASABEgK75PD_BwE note that leo fender originally used only car paint colours made by Du pont - that’s why some of the names are a touch esoteric

    You don’t have to reply individually if you put @ followed by a username that user gets tagged to read. You can tag several people in one post see here @The Attic Man

    Smart man. All the best people love tortoiseshell. Be careful that an encore pickguard may be slightly different shape than a fender compatible one. There are people who make them to order. The topic comes up on here quite often edit : @The Attic Man here you go

    @Thump at least a few of us will likely live near you @Oldman lives just a couple of miles away from me

    Just try Warwick’s reds. Cheap and very good Warwick RedLabel 045-105 Electric Bass Strings https://amzn.eu/d/8U2kJar I only play these or adagio flats from eBay - I don’t play well enough or often enough to justify paying more, and IMHO super-expensive strings are not a quantum leap better at my level of expertise

    He did say that, but he was a) mistaken or b) talking rubbish and I speak as a jamerson fan

    Why don’t you use one or more thin layers of copper sheet ?
  12. Geek99
    Could I have this please ?
  13. Geek99
    It was early on, maybe they were not that privileged at that point?
  14. Geek99
    Might one of those many things assist the OP?
  15. Geek99
    Use furniture dowels - who will see the grain there ?
  16. Geek99
    @Bassassin might know
  17. Geek99
    After that, I’ll get it for you
  18. Geek99
    You’re totally welcome mister 👍

    I’d never date one, they never split the bill or offer to buy a round

    I think that this all was neatly satirised by The League of Gentlemen with Crème Brûlée
  21. Geek99
    Me too. But you get over it once you’ve heard them applaud once
  22. Geek99
    Walk away dude. No guitarist thinks like a real bass player and he’ll lead you off the righteous path of bass clef, being cool and getting people up and dancing
  23. Geek99
    What would your late wife want ? Isn’t that the most appropriate thing to do under the circumstances?
  24. Geek99
    I have a no-load tone pot. It bypasses the pot entirely on 10, and I turn it to about 5 when I don’t want pure P pickup on full bore .
  25. Geek99
    @Phil Starr try it with flats or a sponge mute?
