Even nylon tape wound strings have a steel core which is attached to the ball end - which makes contact with the bridge = ground! ^*In most cases*^ Your body is a great big aerial - hum attractor - so nylons could help stop you introducing hum via the strings!

Have you tried?: https://support.fender.com/hc/en-us/articles/214343783-How-can-I-find-out-when-my-Japanese-made-instrument-was-manufactured-

The nylon tape wounds are naturally ' a bit slippy' as regards sliding through the nut slots - which will help, but I would make sure there are no sharp edges or burrs on the plastic nut that may cause damage to the outer wrap - which could lead to unravelling!

When talking of screws, 'stripped' most commonly and correctly refers to the threads being stripped, I guess what you are talking about is 'buggered heads' which is commonly refered to as buggered heads not stripped. That's my technical engineering twopence worth

I searched every music shop in that London in '73 to buy a Ricky, coulnd't find a good one ended up with a beautiful Italian Blonde - Gherson Yes - Dave tells it like it is

I made a passive kit for Adrian's SB100, as always - he's a pleasure to deal with, deal with confidence. Cheerz, John

Best wishes Norm for a speedy and full recovery, don't let the bastards get you down.

Nothing's changed has it?!!? As much as I have loved the Floyd since 1967 and still do, it's very same ol' same ol' I won't be buying sorry Roger, but I reckon it'll grow on me

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1499090111' post='3329080'] Coz its better [/quote]No it isn't - it's cheaper, that's why Leo changed from stacked pots. [quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1499094244' post='3329117'] I do prefer VBT to VVT, but my understanding is that there's an issue with implementing VBT with passive instruments?! Something about having reduced volume across the whole bass? SI [/quote]Not if you use the right blend pot.

Congratulations and very best wishes, cigars all round

The FREE concerts, Rock Festivals in Hyde Park 1968 & 69, could't go in 1970 'cos I was in hospital from May 20th 'til August 12th after smashing my Norton, but as soon as I got out I managed to persuade my mum/best nurse ever! to let me go to IOW, my mate had a Ford Zodiac & a 23' caravan, we did it it style never could remember much Hendrix died a few weeks after that, I cried.

I've made a couple of looms for Harry, don't know why I haven't done feedback sooner but - - - he's a great guy to deal with comms on the button and instant payment a real pleasure, highly recommended. Cheerz, John

Yep still getting the same as OP, it's been going on for months and only when visiting basschat.

[quote name='ROConnell' timestamp='1496659489' post='3312971'] Moved by it all. Doesn't matter whether you're a fan of some of the music or not, everybody absolutely nailed it. Music brings people together and this definitely has shown that. Credit must go to the production team for this event, it was less than 8 days they had to put this together! [/quote]+ 1 you have it right!

Very good

I was 16 - predominantly into motorbikes, with beer, girls and music joint second oh yeah, who said joint!? All Pink Floyd was essential listening, Beatles were just about pop music until SPLHCB - IMHO

I made Gary a Les Paul wiring loom, as always - he's a great guy to deal with and a pillar of the bc community. Cheerz, John
