I'm on it maestro - back in a jiffette

I am Quick Draw McGraw and I'm ready with my digital verniers.

Likewise. John has been a friend long before i ever bought gear from him. Before he started East Uk. He's a one man band, is always inundated with work, as anyone can imagine with his global sales. Phoning is better, assuming he's not on holiday or something.

I doubt many people here, if any at all, that build basses, have worked with an unknown like Richlite. So i doff my hat to you Andy. Lovely work

Wouldnt a DB meter be out front rather than at the back ? Dunno...

As always, the devil is in the detail You must be Beelzebub

You shaving that neck seems quicker than me shaving my neck That head plate is gonna look triff

Good point. Also playing nearer the bridge reduces the effect a bit

In the past , i've blobbed a tiny bit of silicon on the bottom springs and let it go off. Job done. I actually prefer springs to foam.

It starts with the string " touching " the fretboard. Not enough to choke the string though, and then players fingers do the rest, so it's really a combination. So yes, i'd agree with you in the most part that a player can dial it back. Actually, some fretlesses dont sound like a fretless and some do. If the player doesnt " force " the mwah with technique with such fretlesses, then one wouldn't know it was a fretless. Some you can tell its a fretless just plucking open strings.

Dont forget to take your memory pills Neck looking stunning mate

Get stuck in Good luck

Aha, you mean the replacement has different thickness magnets. The wires from the pickup are generally placed next to the exit hole in the pickup rout, which goes to your control cavity. If it were back to front , you'd have the pickup wires running along side of the pickup before they exit, which is not the norm. So if the thicker magnets are next to the pickup wires, then you have your answer. It is alo likely that the bigger magnets are for the D + G, but just place the wires as i said.

It would seem so, yes, but since you stated you're replacing it, i dont really think it matters

Lordy knows what that abomination is but Jones played a Fodera Monarch, not that monstrosity. Even so, he wasnt really known for Foderas, just Wals and Ibanezezzzezezzs. He briefly played a Gretsch which he filed some of the frets down to make a half fretless. Used on one one track, Running on 3, on the first album. He then switched to a fretless Precision for a while before the Wal and then Ibanez

Spiffin' .. asbo lootly spiffin

Could well be , but i think he's probably kosher, as he's alright with collection and the bass can be tested. I dont like Tbirds, Firebirds, and the like. They dont do a thing for me.

Oooh, come to daddy

Take these broken strings and learn to fly ?

Never heard of the Epi Blackbird - wondering what's so bad about it

Tres amusing, i must say I reckon he really doesnt want this bass

Someone been spiking your Horlicks ??

Very sneaky, very clever. Wasn't that a Uriah Heep album ?
