[quote name='graham1945' timestamp='1456506003' post='2989837'] I'm 1945, so it looks like double basses for us then! [/quote] 1946 for me and I hate DB's, won't fit into a 1962 Ford Anglia easily.

Martin bought my Precision, great guy to do business with, paid very promptly. Deal with confidence, a gentleman of the basschat manor.

I have a brand new HB Jazz with blocks sat in a bag doing nothing, bought it 'cos of the price.

Precision Maple board Kill switch (I play in churches so a noisy clunk is a no no) Volume & tone Yellow. All I need.

As usual I seem to be the only person that's come across this problem

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1424859333' post='2701162'] Many Jazz bass wiring relies on the mechanical connection between the mounting of pots & jack socket onto the metal bell plate, it saves .02 pence worth of extra wire but of course as soon as you get a loose nut or even a bit of corrosion under your nuts any earthing is at best - intermittent & doubtful It appears from your photo' that the pots are not of the 'highest quality' & also they are 500K Linear, which is certainly not what I would recommend for a Jazz Bass they are probably at the end of their useful life anyway! I would suggest a new wiring kit would go a long way to solving all your problems [/quote] Absolutely agree, this man makes the best quality wiring kits. Any bass I've owned and fitted one to has been perfect.

Hi guys, In my little music room I have my Imac and about 7 feet away my Markbass CMD 151 combo, when the mac is on and I want to rehearse a tune it's very difficult because it sets off a crackling on my E string when I play it, there is a little bit on the A string and nothing on the D or G, it;s a lot like interference on a radio with a bad signal. If I turn the mac off the interference goes so it must be the mac causing it. Not a lot of use when playing along with a song! If I move the amp to another room the problem goes away. Seems to be getting worse. Anyone come across this before? Thanks for any help. tom.
