Change of clothing, touch of class I think! (Clear scratchplate in case it's not obvious) Thanks Pestie! [IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/20a9isn.jpg[/IMG] Si

Get a limelight! Simples Si

My technique is exactly the same as Tom Ks above, a sort if hybrid of the full FT, essentially using your thumb to mute what isn't muted by your plucking fingers. I've certainly (naturally) found that to be the best for me live. It's interesting to note that there are plenty of players who don't use FT at all and have impeccable muting, check out John Pattitucci on his 6 string. It's about what works for you and gives you the cleanest notes! Many players obviously now use string dampeners around their bass neck, certainly not a replacement for good technique, but every little helps Si

Do you get the issue when you simply use your bass into it, then Into your amp? Same problem with different basses? Si

Yeah I was looking around for a while for a nice short-scale, considered the Squier VM Jaguar short scale. But when I was reminded of these, it seemed like the perfect middle-ground Si p.s. Edited the picture to sit up the right way. Go home TinyPic, you were drunk!

That's pretty clean, very nice Si

Hi all, If of interest, just found this place on eBay that actually does some interesting enclosure finishes in the UK: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Aluminium-DieCast-POWDER-COATED-Hammond-STYLE-Enclosure-Stomp-Vape-Box-colours-/251946723905?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item3aa931ea41 I have a pink 1590a on the way for a build for myself, and to check quality etc. Si

From what I gather there aren't many of them them about, and I don't think they're a current model (couldn't spot it on Fender Japan website). So moving forward, they'll possibly become sought-after, especially seeing as it was a Japan-only model. Very cool though, needs a little setup for my tastes, but think it's going to fit the bill a treat. Was looking for a short-scale for a while, for the above reasons as well as my Mrs wanting something to gig every now and then (she's primarily a guitarist). Very happy with it Si

I haven't got any scales handy, but it's definitely no more than 8.5lbs. Si

So not quite on the same scale as the Fodera from an 'event' point of view, but still excited to get hold of this! I fancied a more transportable bass (overseas gigs etc), but also a 4 string which was kind of a Fender equivalent of the Foderas 33" scale, ie easy to pickup and play after getting used to the MGS. So here it is from Oggy on here! A Japanese Fender Jazz 32". It has a rear routed unused battery box, so may experiment with a preamp. Pickups are Dimarzio Areas Js, which I've not had before. Very cool dinky little thing [IMG]http://i60.tinypic.com/3499tg5.jpg[/IMG] Cheers Si

Yup floating thumb ftw!! I also employ my fretting hand for muting too, remember you're generally only playing one note at a time....you've three spare fingers to lay across strings there Si

That whole bass looks like lava!! Very cool! I'm intrigued by those pickups from Alan, although I just didn't get on with the filter pre when I had a Finn......for me there just too many options haha. Very powerful in the right hands though! Enjoy! Si

Interesting result! I wasn't too enamoured with the PS6 sounds either, both the up and down octaves. Si

I do think there's a market for the spec (I would I guess ), and I think that if someone will do it well and this price range it's Ibanez......but it's difficult to see how this particular model got through a bassist focus group?! lol Oh well, onwards and upwards for them Si

Is it worth considering the wording from Parcelforce? They have terminated his contract. It may be possible, that if they out-source some deliveries, the guy simply lost his Parcelforce contact and simply will carry on with his other contracts. In any case, the facts seem to be that someone didn't do their job correctly, within the satisfactory guidlines of both his employer and the customer. As a result of this, he has been let go (in whatever respect) via due-process, seems fair. As pointed out, perhaps someone else in need of a job will continue the job correctly. If he was sacked unfairly, he'll bring it to a tribunal, which he'll get a settlement for and the PR will be worse for Parcelforce than one annoyed customer....... Cool? Si

Does anyone know if Mark just sells bass bodies? Or just whole basses? Have emailed him but apparently he's away until Saturday.....and I'm impatient . If not I'll take a look at Warmoth Chars Si

It certainly will be interesting to see what turns up. For £250 including postage, it's difficult to see how the wood or parts are going to be anything other than average quality. I assume they're CNC machined, again, difficult to believe anything hand built could be had that cheap, wherever it is in the world. That said, those Sires seem to be getting very good reviews, and they are probably built in the same way. Of course, all that matters is that you like it, and it plays well for you! Si

Did this position get filled? Cheers Si

Yeah was always impressed with the Micro-Pog, that said, I haven't heard the Nano, like you said....new algorithm might have messed things up? Interesting. I had the Boss PS-6 (Harmonist), wasn't that impressed with it I have to say....maybe you'll like it Si

Hmmm, I guess the body shape is reminiscent of the Imperial shape, but that's about it. Headstock is totally different, pickups are in an interesting position (not seen a Fodera with that layout before....I assume because no-ones asked for it), control layout is different. Hopefully it's a nice bass for you though Also, doesn't the new logo look like the Mayones logo? Si
