[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

Yes Deb if it's a Highway One - just buy it - they're quality, this 2003 I got recently is superb! Hope this helps your GAS [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/Fender%20USA%202003%20Highway%20One%20Precision%20Bass/110620121460.jpg[/IMG]
