[quote name='Eljay' timestamp='1342630284' post='1738304'] Yes, you totally missed out. You MISSED that it was all in good fun, and that I think those straps are kool, and thought some might like seeing pics of what I think is a nice product. Have you an issue with that? Is there a problem?? Do you REALLY think I'm trying to SELL something or get free advertising on this board?? Are you nuts?? Greedy, suspicious, insecure people think like that I guess, and can't see what good cheer is. I can, so Cheers and cheerio to your ridiculous theory! Holy Stratford-Upon-Avon! I totally dug the people I met in Britain, from the maid at the Hotel in Bath, to the Old Folks in Devonshire, to the hipsters in London- But some of youse guys here on this Forum.... Wow wow wow. Don't make me do Lexingon/Concord on you bad-attitude Brits; there's too many Goodfellows here, I trust!!! here- Here's a pic of a strap I had custom-made by a guy in Texas- It has my initials so I won't ever sell it of course. The Shamrock on it was a homage to my trip/visit to Ireland (I'm not Irish. alas) Get it???? See I like straps, that's about it, and I'm lucky enuff to work as a rep for a made-in-usa not china strap company that has a heritage. Yes they're distributed in England, am I trying to get you to buy one??? PLEASE! I could care less, thought someone might chime in "Nice!" Just as the Spectra-Sonic is NICE! that ain't for sale either. Here's another one, made for me by a great gal in Australia, Chantal. The deal with that- THAT is a Native American "Katchina", the Eagle Dancer Spirit. Concept was it FLIES over BS rather than engage it. Those Injuns knew wassup, huh??? Kewl Huh?? Jeesh. [/quote] Now you see, before you start name calling - like 'greedy, suspicious, insecure' whatever - may I refer you to a thread I ran a few days ago, in a similar vein - that is 'for a bit of fun'.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1342623738' post='1738085'] I don't get this. The OP says hi to the UK, poses a question and offers a prize to the winner. The question is duly answered (with bells on)... and surprise surprise by a UK dude. But then it is revealed that his prize cannot be posted to the UK... but there may be distributors somewhere. Huh? Is this an advert? Did I miss something? [/quote] Yes - strange

Better than having Volkswagen across the front of it

My advice would be to get googling & teach yourself how to do your own set ups. There's tons of info out there & there's nothing more satisfying that getting things exactly as you like them, IMO you'll never get close when you pay someone else to do it Whereabouts are you?

Oh no! that really is a shock R.I.P. Bob.

Oh dear it's too late Congrats on the new bass pictures please

Looks like you can plug your lead in to the front [s]bumper[/s] fender [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/vwacross1.jpg[/IMG]

Why?

'Tis a lovely golour but looks like it's had a fair old bash down by the jack socket, big chip out of it & I'm wondering how far that 'possible crack' or join in the wood separating, might run under the scratch guard Wouldn't risk it without close inspection personally.

I'm a great DiMarzio supporter, I reckon they're better than most apart from the mega bucks maybe. When I play my '57 with the DP127 it just blows the other P's out of the room! But it's all very personal innit! IMHO, YHMV, IME & all that depends on the amp too IYAM.

I bought some pick ups from Jack, he posted them as arranged & they arrived very nicely packed indeed. Exactly as described, no problems, great guy to deal with, my pleasure to start a thread for him. Cheerz, John

Excellent & exciting! Well done just go easy on the 60 year olds

I also only play seated, sometimes more sometimes less than an hour or two every day almost. Most of my arthritic pains come out in my neck & shoulders although my worst areas are lower back, fortunately my hands are not so bad, (touches wood). All I can suggest is Voltarol Emugel, I used to get it on prescription until they tried saving a few bob & gave me some useless shyte. But seriously it is wonderful for pain relief IMO & allows the joints & muscles to 'work again'. Maybe not a long term cure, but it sure helps as temporary & almost instant relief, for me. Other medical diagnoses are available & should almost certainly be looked into type disclaimer

Truly mint? As in unused, unmarked? Private sale or dealer? Warranty on not? I'd say 75% of high street price top.

There's not many soldering irons that could get up enough steam to solder to any bridge! Normal way is to fan out the bare ends of the wire & trap it under the bridge, best if it also make contact with one of the fixing screws. If you want to make sure of contact, scrape away a area of paint/anodizing where the wire will touch. Cheerz, John Snap - simultaneous posting

Oh no! That's terrible! It's finished! What you going to do now? Absolutely wonderful great job

I used to think the ease & range of adjustment made them worthwhile - but I'm alright now

Something's not right! I wouldn't say a short but must be very poor insulation, possibly damaged or even damp? I just tested a Fender Gold Bass cable 12' & it's 1.1 Ohms tip to tip, 0.8 Ohms sleeve to sleeve, Greater than 2000K Ohms between tip & sleeve. My meter's highest range is 2000K.

Maybe easier to swap necks, what bass is it? Cheerz, John
