    I can see the attraction. I know the helix stuff does all sorts of amazing but my head goes fuzzy when faced with millions of options so instead of actually getting something of value done I just ffaff around. This is true for the rest of my life as well.

    I wish I had. I was playing Brecon Jazz and an early Amy Winehouse was further down the running order. I could not be be bothered to move from the green room. Shows you how much I know.

    Always keep the dignity!

    Ha, vintage bridge envy

    I no longer own one, but nice and high for proper DB thud is how I would define it. I do not like a low DB action and the NS delivered.

    Not just me then.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I am going with one of those funky oval Delano ones. There was one on a mini bass in a Bass Bash I went to and I just liked it. And I like the shape. I am shallow that way.

    12 inch padding?!?!

    Whack up the bridge and you are a solid 75% of the way there. I used Innovation Honeys and got a lovely thud.

    It works nicely enough to pursue the project further. I needs a pickup and a set of strings from Mr Newtone. The cut down ones are not quite ringing true

    I have not played my 66 Jazz in anger for 20 years or more. I should sell it. I have owned it for 35 years. I am struggling to let it go!

    The saddest sound in the world

    It goes from bad to worse

    It is 23" scale. I have no idea how it sounds cos it is still with the guy who did the work. I am not sure what he did cos I do not have it in my hands as of yet. I suspect it was Mr Drill. I was too impatient to wait for a new set. Also if they are big enough I can cut down all sorts of strings

    I think it is illegal to do any of those to cats but I can see the attraction. I am JOKING!!!!

    That case wrapped in a bin bag would protect it nicely for carriage.

    I have no need for this at all. I am going to buy it now. No, I am not. Stop posting this stuff! I had reached the PP payment option.

    I am glad to know a standard MM plate will work with a bit of encouragement because I will be needing a W/B/W one

    I have owned and sold both and this one does ring a bell! Keeping well thanks. A chdi gobeithio.

    I have no need of this, but I would nearly buy it just because it is so rare that I can actually pick something up.

    The good news for me is that painting bloke has said that he does not actually want me to strip it because he spends more time sorting out dogdy home sanding jobs than actually sanding them. He is obviously aware of my crafting abilities.

    The One there is not is. From the chase only comes satisfaction.

    Thanks for the idea, but I do not own a heat gun so that would be more expense!
