My Jazz 5 is road worn,by me,the proper way,7 or 8 years of dings,scratches,buckle rash,tarnished plating.But it is kept in perfect working order,i.e,bridge saddle screws/machineheads regularly taken apart and oiled.It is just a tool after all.Re-sale value,do'nt care,it's never going to be sold.

"you're always fiddling about with me,why do'nt you play the other strings,you never give me compliments like you used to,always picking faults" sorry.

I like that.

Have you still got it ? Have you ripped the frets out yet ?

Machine head..................if you have access to a vice,compress to try tightening the rivet that way.If you do'nt,lay the machinehead on a hammer,or at least something metal and sturdy,i.e,the flat of a spanner or large screwdriver,and strike the rivet with another hammer.

???????????????????

AND,after chatting to one of my heroes,Dale Watson after his set at a festival,it was my turn on stage with a great friend of mine,in a respected band on the country scene,Red Canyon,( i dep for them occasionally)Red was that pissed that we only played 7 tunes,or,that should be,we played,Folsom prison,guitar boogie,folsom prison,guitar boogie,folsom prison,guitar boogie,and whiskey lullaby,but it was going to be folsom prison AGAIN,until i pointed out that we had already played it three times.

Great playing and great sounding = no strings ?

There will be worse gigs and there will be better ones too. Like was said before,treat it as a paid rehearsal,and you never know who is in the audience. Allways try to have a better time on stage than the audience is having. We once travelled up from a festival in Yorkshire,where we played to an audience of about 3,500,to a hotel gig in Fort William the next night,and played to less than 20. If it's any consolation,i went to see Hawkwind at Newcastle City Hall in about 1980,and there were less than 20,12 IIRC,in the audience,and half of those were band hanger ons.

Thanks.

My Marshall DBS 200w has 2 speaker outputs on the back,i have a 2x10+1x15 @ 4 ohms cab,and a 1x15 @ 8 ohms cab. Excuse my numptyness,but what affect will this have on the amps output ? On the rear of the amp it states,minimum 4 ohms.

I need new trousers.

Great basses,used to own a Copperburst ? one,about 7-8 years ago,would love another of the same age and colour.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='678105' date='Dec 8 2009, 04:18 PM']That thing with the lipstick pickups looks ace![/quote] Thanks,that was about £300 new a year ago,plays great,sounds sh*t,and one of the pickups died recently,so it's going to get different ones fitted when i can make my mind up what to put in.

That looks beautiful,im really happy for you,but we do need more pics,or it did'nt happen.

I have a good Vintage bubinga 5 bought for just over £100,and i regularly gig a Jim Deacon (same as a stag)Musicman copy,bought for less than £100.

Just a few drops on a rag to lift the dirt.The Vintage 5 in my pics was done this way 6 ? years ago,then clear waxed using,again,a tiny bit on a bit of T-shirt,then buffed using a clean bit of T-shirt.I have not waxed it since,just wipe it sometimes.
