    Having trouble justifying spending twice the money(ish), but thanks for the offer, I may still take you up on that. What changed your mind on it?
  3. ezbass
    Indeed. Now to get this particular product's quality to match their after sales service.

    Actually not bad and, given that we would shelling out wherever it's held anyway, I withdraw my objection. What I will be objecting to is the whole bloody hoopla of picking the 'winning' city that we are more than likely to be subjected to.

    Who pays for these boondoggles? If it’s the public purse in any way, shape or form, we should not be hosting it, given the current economic climate.

    No, but I signed up for notifications - nowt .

    Unfortunately, the anticipated delivery date for the LPB, P/J, Player series, Mustangs at Guitar Guitar of the 23rd of this month, seems to be optimistic and is now just 'available to order', with no projected date . To be fair, I'm not surprised, disappointed yes, but not surprised. However, I see that they have a Gibson SG bass with a few quid knocked off for a scratch on the neck. I've just listened to good few demos on YT and those, plus the great tone Andy Fraser achieved with one (Jack Bruce and Felix Pappalardi too, of course), has me wondering if this tardiness from Fender isn't a sign to cast my net further afield. They appear to be quite light by all accounts, so all good there, although there is the neck dive issue of course. Hmm...

    I think we’d all like to see more pictures of that monster T’Bird.

    I used to have a BT1 fitted to my ‘off the peg’ Jake.

    Best I can do, plainly more hours required.

    The 10,000 hours thing is such a nonsense. People with natural ability will ‘master’ (whatever that means) a skill far more quickly, whilst those without that natural ability may never get there, wherever ‘there’’ is. From my own experience, it’s all plateaus coupled with surges in perceived competence.

    Huge loss to the industry, but good call on Rob’s part.

    What, we’re having two now? Right then - Pino. Endless groove: Chops:

    My dad had an Imp and a Stiletto, so much fun to drive.
  23. ezbass
    That’d be a good starting point. Then you can measure the results and use them on other basses.

    Unless you go crazy with the truss rod of course. @Davee, don't go crazy with the truss rod adjustment, a quarter turn at a time, if required. If it won't move, don't force it, seek help.

    That recommended setting has had me ruching off to measure mine and, wouldn't you know it, 2.5mm at the 12th. You'd think I'd know my set up, but I measure at the 17th fret for reasons that pass understanding, or are lost in the mists of time.
