[quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1437641527' post='2827721'] I have a couple of 5-instrument stands similar to the ones above (two parallel bars at the bottom, stubby bars at the top for the necks). You have to get the angle just right when putting asymmetrical basses like Thumbs and Jazzes on them, otherwise they don't sit on both of the bottom bars and swivel round. [/quote]Good point When I got my Chord stand I only had Precisions & set the stand up to suit them - they were & still are fine. Since then I have some Jazzes & yes they don't sit comfortably on the rails at all. So now the Chord stand holds just 5 P basses & the Jazzes are on separate stands.

Here's an old but still valid review of the Chord stand http://basschat.co.uk/topic/109562-chord-5-bassguitar-stand-rack/

^What he said^ PS - Sounds like LOM = late onset mojo

Bloody wired earphones! Surely they could do better than that I still want a fridge though

Not all blend pots give you 100% from both at the centre position, this could be your problem.

I've got some knobs don't have a thread guage but if the screw head is slotted I suspect they're imperial, if hex socket then metric. It's not easy to get replacement screws - without the knob

New base day heavy - but no good for metal https://www.dropbox.com/s/nb53x8f2xq84vhi/2015-07-16%2016.03.08.jpg?dl=0 Will of course be a suitable little place in the garden to sit & play

No apology necessary - I should have explained a picture tells - - - https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nr2hxp9750ipai/2015-07-16%2013.56.40.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/16nko5888jwdr22/2015-07-16%2013.57.01.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/sy0o7kngq7snadv/2015-07-16%2013.57.38.jpg?dl=0 Yeah I've been looking but can't find the right thing - except Fishman - very nice but £200 - £300, bit more than it's worth really. The mounting area is practically flat which narrows down the choice rather. Waiting for a few email replies but still searching Cheerz, John

Cheers for the input AM but I have a cutout where the old preamp was, it would be nice to fill - might as well be another onboard pre

My first post in this section - please don't bite me I'm looking for a replacement preamp to fit a '90ish Epiphone PR350E, the old one has been thrown away so not sure what it was. The under saddle piezo is still there & seems to give a 'little' signal. Any recommendations for a natural sounding preamp would be welcome - maybe £50/60ish? - must fit into almost perfectly flat section of side, existing cutout approx. 68 x 30mm can be enlarged of course. Cheerz, John

Beautiful puss & great photo' - is he/she saying - "when I die you can make new strings out of me"?

I heard there was a laptop found in a skip during the clean up at Glasto, but the guy that found it chucked it back 'cos it was soaked in p155!

I use one like this; [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/60W-Professional-LCD-Digital-Soldering-Iron-Station-Kit-ESD-Anti-Static-Safe-/111705771779?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1a022ecf03"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1a022ecf03[/url] not bad for the money, if you don't want to pay for a Weller This sort of clamp?

If you're coming along the coast a bit any time soon I'll be happy to have a look for you - in Bexhill

Alain got in touch again, this time for a Jazz bass wiring kit, perfect comms & instant payment, as always a perfect gent to deal with. Cheerz, John

Very sad to hear that, with a few tears - RIP Chris

I always use the old E roundwounds for that stupid drain thing down the back of the fridge, most of the others seem to end up supporting something in the garden. Since we got a new fridge/freezer a few months back I haven't done it yet - thanks for the reminder!

I made another kit for Stewart, I think that's 4 now he's a real pleasure to deal with every time Cheerz, John

SD's chart shows the resonant peak of the SSBs to be 9.2KHz for the Neck & 8.1KHz Bridge http://www.seymourduncan.com/comparetones That's pretty high for bass pups so I certainly wouldn't normally use 500K pots with them, best stick to 250Ks, however I can't tell you how much percievable difference that would make to you Please let us know if you try changing them Cheerz, John

Phil got in touch for a upgrade wiring kit for his Farida Jazz, great communications & instant payment, a real pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

Lovely gesture & I hope someone deserving ends up with. Not like a guy that pissed me off a bit the other day - I advertised on our local Streetlife some spare tomato plants, one bloke turns up in a new Range Rover that probably cost £80K+, WTF does he want 2 free tomato plants? It cost him more than that in petrol to get here! I wish I'd seen his car before I gave him the plants Best wishes & great karma to you Andrew.
