    True enough, but Grovers always look cheap and nasty to me.
  2. Stub Mandrel
    Well I live with Grover style on two of my basses, I'll wait and see. There are other possibilities... Van Ghent:

    But is it small?
  4. Stub Mandrel
    Possibly, but the original Embassy Deluxe with a batwing headstock had them, so there's something of a precedent (not a big fan of grover-style).

    Do you think a set of vintage clover leaf tuners would suit?

    We must have been half-decent last Friday, the landlord has booked us for New Year's Eve. 🙂

    Could that have been a use for the Hartkombo?

    Make sure you haven't got a vegan strapped down with it before throwing it in the pan.

    You know the old saw that bass players are failed guitarists? Only the ones who use a pick 😉

    Born Under a Bad Sign, Albert King. Duck Dunn... he plays all these now clichéd bass riffs, except he doesn't, he adds in little things that most people don't.

    Yes you can screw it right out, but when it is actually doing anything it only has one position.
  13. Stub Mandrel
    That could be part of the problem... I've got a Fender Jazz with a heel-end adjuster and it doesn't move in and out. It stays level with the end of the neck. Ditto for a guitar I have with one.

    On all the truss rods I have seen, the nut doesn't move in and out, it's the rod that gets pulled by it (or pushed and pulled if double acting).

    Carole King in concert on Sty Arts.

    Both very nice, but I'm glad I went for Green 🙂 Compared to T-bird I'd say Bridge pup is in the same place, neck pup noticeably closer to the neck.

    PMT have a black one. I went for the green, it just looks gorgeous and so of its time. My brother bought one of these on saturday. Really nice and lovely 'worn' (not relic) finish. Epiphone 'Gold Glory' Jared James Nichols sig. Epiphone really are making great guitars, this is a combo Gibson never made.

    Do they put sesame seeds in baby oil?! It's just that they use sesame oil to make tiger bread stripey 🙂 I think you need to revisit the 7th fret, as a minimum 🙂
  19. Stub Mandrel
    I hope so! I ordered one a few weeks ago but it won't come until end November/early december (fingers crossed!)
  20. Stub Mandrel
    Kid Creole and the Coconuts?
  21. Stub Mandrel
    I thought it might be tiger wood. Did you use sesame oil?

    John Mayall's Blues Breakers feat. Eric Clapton.
  23. Stub Mandrel
    I found some bass parts. I think they must be off a Bongo.

    Tried an Epiphone EB0 yesterday. Good sound and looked good for a £218 bass, but felt 'toy like' in a way that the Jaguar doesn't.

    "Have you ever heard a guitarist say he changed the tubes on his amplifier annd it made it sound worse?" Spot on.
