I am very, very pleased and want it to be known what an absolutely top job Ceri did.

I have been running a thread on this in the DIY lounge but wanted to show more people so that Ceri who did it can get the applause he deserves. https://www.facebook.com/rendallsrestorations . He has done stellar work. Andy and Jabba also played their parts and I am grateful to everyone )

I am not thinking of anything other than what is on view. I "knew" that I wanted a white one, but it came back with the original as a place holder and it seems not bad at all. Maybe I will change them depending on my outfit.

1st world problems.

Ta. Fair play to him. He is clearly working it well.

For me, NS provide the defiintive EUB experience.

I would be interested to see him. Could you give me a link?

My first really good bass is my 66 Jazz which I bought from someone who did not know what he had. I also did not know what he had, I just knew it looked like Jaco's and I had to have it. It has set the bar for all basses since then and anytime I pick up J bass I feel "at home" in a way nothing else has.

I think he is probably referencing one of my solos there.

I have actually warmed to Mr 504. He obviously has a market which is totally not us and he is hitting it well. His tongue is firmly in his cheek most of the time. I wish him well.

Thanks y'all. I am very comfortable with the "auto" drummer facility in Logic so am basically looking for new sound options. I have taken the Slate freebie and will see what happens

Any thoughts on a decent set of drum samples? I sometimes think that there must be life beyond Logic's sample set. I do not expect something for nothing - even though that never hurts. But I just do not know where to even start looking

I have a neck made of rosewood. No lacquer and it feels lovely every time!

No, it was fine and dandy before I put Lemon oil on.

It was a brand new neck and the frets became very rough and scratchy.

I used Lemon Oil on a brand new fingerboard. It did something horrible to the frets. I needed a full fret workover polish thing (I am aware that there is probably a good word for this) from a tech. I do not know if it was a dodgy batch or what. I will never touch Lemon Oil again.

My whole life has been a Bass fad.

And the final verdict is, it does work. The B string does not thunder like the 64' stop on a church organ, but in my heart I knew that would be the case. It will probably be a string for special occasions only. But if nothing else, it will remind me that I am now more used to a 5 string than a 4 string so muscle memory will not have to adapt The original preamp sits nicely with the pickup filling out the lower register nicely. In case anyone has ever had any doubts about Jez's abilities, the man is a wood whisperer.

I did enjoy them

To be fair, you can see their point.

Not from MM. They don't dig the aftermarket refinish.

Yep, another logo. Yes, made up
