My case is slightly different, I chose a specialist courier, accepted their quote for a 'specialist job', £72 - not your average cheap as chips service. I don't have any problems (touch wood) with the regulars, Hermes, Yodel, DPD, TNT and others, even Royal Mail!!

Oh dear 🤯

You would think getting a bass, amp, cab or practically anything delivered by couriers is hard work, you want to try getting a Mobility Scooter! Unbelieveable. Name and shame = SilverSprint Transport and Warehousing, advertised on ebay as specialists in mobility scooters etc.etc. They couldn't run a bath. 24th July I ordered a delivery after reading their BS on ebay. It took them until 13th August to collect it, it has sat in their warehouse since. Should have been delivered this morning 8.30 - 11.30 but no. I've been arguing online chat with them for practically 3 hours since, told it would cost me £224 extra to get it delivered tomorrow, then finally got a call from the company director. Many apologies and excuses, a £40 refund and promise of delivery Friday 9AM guaranteed! We'll see!

My Mum went mad! I was only released from hospital 12th August after 3 months in traction, had to learn to walk with crutches and was only allowed to go because my best mate promised to look after me - which he did 👍 I had already seen Jimi twice, he was my main reason for going, he was stoned like everyone else and so so good, terrible what happened 6 weeks later 😮 couldn't believe it. My mate still has his IoW folding chair, we each 'borrowed' one from somewhere and brought them home - don't ask me why - I think we might have had a drink? 😄

Saw the documentry on BBC4 last night, well woth watching if you have any interest or are of that age 😎 unbelievable how it actually got going. I was 18, never even dreamed of going to America, but made up for it the next year at The Isle of Wight 😄 Sorry - I can't see when it'll be repeated, maybe on iplayer, I dunno. image: https://proxy.freeview.co.uk/739x415/528021323.jpg Woodstock - Three Days that Defined a Generation Friday 16th, August, 10:00pm - 11:25pm image: https://www.freeview.co.uk/app/uploads/cdn/3/channel/bds-bbcfour.png BBC Four For three days in August 1969, half a million people from all walks of life converged on a small dairy farm in upstate New York. They came to hear the concert of their lives, but most experienced something far more profound: a moment that came to define a cultural revolution. This documentary tells the story of the lead-up to those three historic days, through the voices of those who were there and the music of the time. It includes extraordinary moments from the concert itself, iconic images of both performers and festival goers, and tells how this groundbreaking event, pulled off right at the last minute, nearly ended in disaster and put the ideals of the counterculture to the test.

No just overflow storage these days - and before you ask - no it's not full of basses 😝 it's Kaz's retreat anyhow!

The caravan I reckon 😃

Shirts.Ruby.Later = here😎 Seriously! Brilliant app 👍

I think i see! Cheerz, John

My playstore can't find it 😣 is it just me? Cheerz, John

@Cuzzie " Now, what I would like would be neck on its own on, and switch to both on together with a push/pull. " Yes you can do that, but with both pick ups on you'll have no balance/blend between them = less than ideal!

@bassfan I have the DP127W in my AVRI Blonde White '57 P it sounds immense and each note is crystal clear, IMHO the perfect passive P sound, but of course you can F unk it up with pedals etc if you must 😎 Not got the J's in anything ATM, but they are equally brilliant and of course you get the 4 wire option of coil splitting. The pair also work seriously well together in series mode too!

I made Dave a wiring kit for his Spector Legend, he's a diamond to deal with, great comms and instant payment, perfect gent. Cheerz, John

I worked in the Hastings factory, wiring and assembling mostly AC30s with cabs, organs and disco decks. The guitars came in from Erith and were soon out the door again so I'm afraid I can't tell you much about them. All the guys there were in bands, we had a lot of fun, everything had to be played/tested, amazing how much stuff 'left via the back door' all the bamds were never short of kit 😎 Definitely worth repairing it's a lovely piece of bass history. @Christine My first bass was a home made copy of the teardrop bass, made by my Dad and me when I was 13/14, after seeing the Rolling Stones using them, long before working at VOX.

If Stub changes his mind I'll give it a good home 😎 It looks in very good nick apart from the neck, as @HowieBass says take the 2 strings off, take the neck off, leave it maybe weighted on a flat surface and see what happens. Electrics = no problem 😊 (Did I mention I worked for VOX late 60s/early 70s), them goodoldays 😆

I thought you were looking for a way to use 2 volumes, tone, switch and jack.

I had severe cramps, mostly leg cramps in the night and morning, had Quinine Sulphate tablets prescribed, they really help. Maybe ask your GP. YMMV HTH, John

Ashtrays - you forgot the ashtrays 😎

I got my Mum to make me - for on stage only - scarlet red cord loons, brilliant! No haven't still got them, must have been 50 years ago 😃

Could do Yes Yes Jazz pups - using 2 wires each - wiring the omg switch effectively as series/parallel with the 2 separate pups instead of the 2 coils on the g&l. Could do on each if 4 wire pups I s'pose..

True - but a similar effect with any 4 wire pick up. No problem - errrr hang on - how much switching? Head scratching mode engaged!

This is the passive wiring, yes it can be done 😎 Mini toggle switch or push/pull on the volume pot.

Series/Parallel switch. Easier if you have a P pick up that already has four wire output, but any split P can be modified.
