Rumple

Here's a couple of snaps of the rough Alder body I picked up on Ebay, it's for a four string and has a front facing cavity for a bell plate so there's still plenty of work for Dave to do to get it modified for a 5 string and ready for painting. Dave has almost finished repairing my RW Jazz and hopes to have it done in the next couple of weeks, that will free him up to start work on the Dirty Pink Jazz.

I haven't got mine in front of me but I believe the 'mix' setting is set to 50% by default? increasing the mix value to reduce the un-effected signal may help.

I recently picked up a J&D Jazz Bass and I'm surprised at how well made it is, I don't know a lot about them but they are cheap and look great if you like blocks and bindings on a Jazz. http://www.dv247.com/guitars/jandd-jb-vintage-1975-bass-guitar-black--200784

Nice, I can't remember seeing a 70's four bolt in white before.

[quote name='Bassman47' timestamp='1401879667' post='2467721'] I don't seem to be able to open this file on my Macbook as it's a .ipb file, inexplicably. I CAN open it on my iPhone. I tried opening it with iPhoto but no luck. Tried changing the file extension to .jpg but no luck either. I just want to print it out. Any suggestions? BTW it's a great transcription. Played along with it and it appears perfect! Thanks! [/quote] It's a pdf in reality so you just need to change the .ipb to .pdf

Awful looking piece of driftwood Mark, you might as well drop it off at my place the moment it arrives and promptly forget you ever owned it

looks lovely - Enjoy

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1401721138' post='2466139'] I ended up with a Zoom B3 that way if Octave isn't the answer I can try other things. [/quote] I like the 'Pitch' setting on the Zoom rather then the one actually called 'Octave' ...... I think.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1401571368' post='2464943'] Hotwires arrived and I love 'em. Feel like flats but sound like rounds. What's not to like?? No dead strings in the pack, either. Thanks for the recommendations. [/quote]

One advantage of using a double battery box is that if you decide to stick with 9v you could always keep a spare battery in the other slot.

[quote name='BassManGraham' timestamp='1401291691' post='2462127'] Nice. Think this is this a 600W 4ohm cab? [/quote] Yes it is

[quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1401281499' post='2461975'] I remember your old build, still the best looking jazz I ever saw. [/quote] Thank you I was tempted to build something extremely similar again but in 34" scale and a lot lighter, but that would be covering old ground.

If you don't mind digital effects you could look at the Zoom MS60B, it has a few nice pitch shifting options plus a lot more including a handy tuner.
