    Actually wanted to say....well done to blackmn90 for standing your ground and handling the Nige onslaught well. He's a formidable old (but incredibly young looking...obvious now) sod and is passionate about his passion for passionate passionnn...nnnn.. Anyway, thought that was a good old debate that ended well....until I posted this crap of course. John

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1329981024' post='1550644'] So really, the competency of the bassist (and all musicians) is also about playing what is right for the band setup/specific song. [/quote] Well said sir! Sadly, it would appear that competency is often measured by complexity. I guess some people are mesmerised by the "pretty lights..oooooh". I read posts on these topics and think some people wouldn't be satisfied unless Alex James did two hand tap arpeggios throughout "Park Life"......cue the "he couldn't if he tried" jibes. Sadly I've never met him, or heard him play in private, so I don't know whether he could or not.

    Ok, so the tech put some 250k pots in, and everything works as it should. Battery disconnected, no sound, so pups defo active. Make of this what you will. But, one things for sure, I should have taken the advice of the gentleman of this parish who queried my choice of pot value. But that's 25k pot up in smoke. :-)

    [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1329840810' post='1548307'] There are also known issues using dual volume controls (which I am assuming is the case here as it's a PJB) instead of a single master volume - it has been reported that some EMG users are finding the signal still bleeds through when the pot is set to 'off'... [/quote] [quote name='The Bass Doc' timestamp='1329841527' post='1548323'] The picture shows an active EMG therefore 25K pots are appropriate. Not 250K or 500K. [/quote] Thanks gentlemen, that's helpful. :-) Perhaps using a balance pot would be an option then.

    Sorry...? Try a bass before you buy? No...not with you...

    So had some EMG PJ pups installed and, following EMG website http://www.emgpickups.com/content/wiringdiagrams/PJ_models.pdf paragraph 3 state that 25k pots are to be used. So go to get the bass from the tech who installed the pups and pots and he shows me a problem. The separate volume pots don't silence the pups when wound down, there's just a slight drop in volume. So pups on all the time, also no discernable change in tone when using tone pot. Now, all pots are good quality, the tone cap is PIO. And the wiring is done carefully and to the diagram. Bizarrely when the battery is taken out, the volume pots work still, albeit at very low volume. The tech is at a loss, but suggested that 250k pots would have been a better option. I was advised to get 250k pots beforehand by a fine gentleman of this parish, but I refused saying that EMG should know what they're doing surely? Any clues? thanks, John

    [quote name='noelk27' timestamp='1329655770' post='1545349'] That DR is a brand new, unused, LoRider .125, if that helps. [/quote] Thanks Noel, If someone's desperate to try a LoRider B then let me know and, for a donation to BC funds, it's yours.

    Must be Sunday spring clean time.....

    These have all come off basses I've bought, as I always put a new set of my preferred brand and gauge on. So not sure what make or gauge these are, but I would hazard a guess at 45's for most. They are all clean and useable, some hardly used. I've taken each set out of their packets and lined them up against my P bass, so as to gauge the lengths their cut for and have put what I consider to be the headstock they would fit. 2 sets of 4 string roundwound 1 set 4 string flats 1 set of 5 string roundwound 1 set of 5 string flatwounds ( probably Ernie Ball 45-130's and only on a bass for a day, not gigged or rehearsed) 1 DR B string roundwound. 5 string rounds cut 4&1 [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0553.jpg[/IMG] DR B string [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0554.jpg[/IMG] 5 string flats cut 4&1 [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0555.jpg[/IMG] 4 string flats cut 2&2 [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0556.jpg[/IMG] 4 string rounds cut 2&2 [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0557.jpg[/IMG] 4 string rounds cut 4 in line. [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/my%20shed/IMAG0558.jpg[/IMG] To be honest I'm not sure about price, so I'd rather get rid of them in sets of:- 2x5 string sets and the spare B string @ £30 posted 2x4 string sets flat and round (2&2 cut) @ £15 posted 1x4 string set 4 in line, rounds @ £7.50 posted. Or whole lot £45 posted. Any questions, ask Jeeves. John John.

    Have you tried to see if there are any violin/contra shops, or repairers, near to you? They may be able to give you a guide to value? Personally I'd take WPD's offer, it's in writing, so legally binding.....:-)

    Booooo. Sorry to hear this Clarky, you'll find something when it's right, and whoever they are will be lucky to have you mate.

    Nice. Love his solo stuff too, Kamakiriad one of my fav albums of all time. Been listening to Beckers' "circus money" continually in the car his week.

    Welcome to the lovely county of Dorset. I'll put you in touch with some musicians in the area if you like? Great jazz drummer and guitarist in Sherborne who'd be interested I'm sure. John
