  1. Thanks, a nice weight too
  2. Very nice indeed. I love the thought that Human Base put into details such as the sculpted heel, extra deep neck joint, shape of the rear body cutaway, recessed machine heads etc. What is the weight please?
  3. Depends on how the cab is wired, whether it has a crossover and attenuator for the tweeter etc - https://www.talkbass.com/threads/anybody-remove-the-crossover-disconnect-the-tweeter.391127/
  4. Unfortunately a Tele guitar pup is quite a bit smaller than a 51 P ...
  5. The Music Locker (Ripley, Derbyshire) specialise in vintage brands including Burns and offer to help source hard to find instruments - http://themusiclocker.co.uk/product/vintage-rare-electric-acoustic-guitars-for-sale/?filter_make=burns
  6. A nice little job for someone with a 3D printer perhaps...?

  8. Has it always done this or is it something new, since you last changed strings for example? Could be a dead spot, but that's something you would probably have noticed before. To eliminate that possibility, try resting the headstock up against something solid like a door frame and then play the A# on the G string. If the dead note goes away (or shifts up a few frets) that would indicate a dead spot. If no change then it's something else.
  9. I've had that before and just wicked a little thin superglue into the joint which fixed it.
  10. Probably best to have a chat with Yamaha tech support and see if they can help - https://www.yamahamusiclondon.com/forms.php?form_id=2
  11. Here's another take on it from Schorr Guitars with a floating pickup on side rails. Rather 'individual' on the aesthetic front! Ultra low profile pickups such as Lace that can freely move around between body and strings might be a bit easier to work with.
  12. Apart from the Grabber and Westone Rail, other concepts I've come across in my google meanderings (I've been interested in this for some time) include a 'swinging arm' pickup, single slider (guitar) and even one pickup with slide-able pole pieces (Lieber EQ-4 - https://www.lieberguitars.com/history/)
  13. This Warwick custom sliding dual SC pickup is very neat and amazingly flexible
  14. +1 for a moveable pickup. I prefer the simplicity of single pickup basses but would like to be able to tweak the position to taste depending on musical circumstances. Would love to see your take on that. Something with a tonal range from HB series/parallel/SC split and positional range from Ric neck to 70s Jazz bridge would cover it!
  15. Tumbleweed moment lol! Lovely looking bass, what does it weigh please?
  16. This wiki about Nicky Wire mention a Fender Jazz with a custom third pickup (under Musical Equipment) - https://wikivisually.com/wiki/Nicky_Wire The old Clover Avenger had three Delano jazz style pickups, I've always fancied one of these (the new model has two soapbars).
  17. Might be worth contacting SBS in Manchester - https://sbsav.co.uk/shop/spare-parts/behringer/
  18. There's a printable page with an 11" radius gauge here - http://guitarhack.com.au/hacking-files/printable radius gauge.pdf
  19. Don't know how old yours is (or whether version I or II) but this thread from TB mentions that some early batches of RB IIs had defective solder joints which caused some problems - https://www.talkbass.com/threads/gallien-krueger-1001rb-owners-did-they-fix-it-plese-help.179487/ GK seem to be pretty good at fixing faulty amps so may be worth contacting them. Polar.uk.com handle GK repairs in the UK - https://polar.uk.com/returns-and-warranty-repairs
  20. You could just detune by a semitone and use a capo on the first fret...
  21. Bartolini, Nordstrand and many other brand pickups are available from BassDirect here - http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Pickups.html
  22. Chromes usually have blue silks but maybe Revelation have them custom made by d'Addario
