Thanks for the help chaps!

Many thanks for the reply.

I have a 1983 American Standard Precision. I thought that the tone knob wasn't working and so just eq'd the amp to get different tones. However, recently I tried the tone knob again and did notice a very slight change in tone. So it was off with the scratchplate to have a look. The capacitor is rectangular and orangey-red in colour. It has has a value stamped on it of .022-200DC. This confuses me as I would have expected .05. I don't think by the way the 'plate came off, and the condition under the 'plate, that anyone has been in there before. Does anyone know if Fender ever fitted capacitors of this value to their basses. I'm wondering if a guitar capacitor found it's way into the bass bin or the employee fitted the wrong one. Whatever is the case I'm going to fit an .05 cap and see what happens unless anyone here can throw any light on my problem.

Played at a 30th birthday party last night at Nice & Sleazys in Glasgow. It was great to have a sound guy who knew exactly what he was doing. Stage well set up. Power points waiting for everybody. Minimum of fuss in checking. This young guy was very professional in his whole approach. What a difference it makes to start your night like this!

Like the styling just wondered if anybody has one if so what they like.[/quote] Do you know that there is one for sale for £850 in the 'for sale' section right now.

Many thanks Andrew. As always your photography is stunning. I'm missing the Gretsch already, but loving the Gibson.

I had probably the easiest ever transaction with Andrew this week. We swapped basses with the absolute minimum of fuss. What a nice guy. No-one should hesitate to do business with him.

Nice to see you're back. A welcome return!

I am a minister in the Church of Scotland and would not ever consider being as offensive to any other occupation as some members have been here to my profession. Reasoned debate is one thing offence is another.

I think that music for worship is regarded in the same way as any other form of music. You like some and don't like others. There are those who like traditional hymns. There are those who like the 'throw your arms in the air and sway about' type of music. There are those who like the black gospel choir approach etc. If you want to worship then there is plenty of choose from. One is not more correct than the other. Personally speaking I think that 'I'll take you there' is one of the greatest worship songs I have ever heard. Great bassline and a simple and direct message. Horses for courses as they say.

Whilst the US Gospel seen pumps out some amazing tunes, I continue to be amazed at why the UK worship scene hasn't moved on from the very rock based Hillsongs type material. Sure, there's some fantastic musicians out there in the UK Christian music scene, but it's such a shame they don't have some of the best arrangements to play. And before anyone else says it, yes, I know it's more about the words / content, but wouldn't it be great to have some funky / souly / even reggae type music to accompany them?[/quote] Couldn't say it better myself. Agreeing with you big time!

Goodbye![/quote] Hopefully when you say "Goodbye" at the end of your post it means that you are leaving and not going to post any more sh*te! Go on now, hurry up the nursery bell is ringing.
