Yes I've seen them - a while ago one of their first ever gigs in the caves in Hastings & a few years later on the pier. You don't get up close & personal like that nowadays Best of luck getting the tickets Blue Their 3rd visit to Hastings - 1st August '64 - tickets were 10/-, that's 50p kids

Nice one Silvia & Joel, it can only do us all good

It's the best & I don't know what I'd do with all the time I'd have spare if I wasn't spending it here The good guys here outnumber the odd bad egg by a very huge number

[quote name='JoeEvans' timestamp='1427663319' post='2732866'] A friend was at school with Alex James and told me that it's not actually his real name. I think he's called Dave really, but changed it because he felt uncomfortable having two Daves in the band. I wouldn't want to vouch for the truth of this in any way, I have to say, but there it is all the same. [/quote]http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Alex+James

Rich got in touch for a upgrade wiring kit for his HB Jazz, excellent communications & instant payment, a top class chap to do business with no problems at all. Cheerz, John

Looks like week 42 1966

Mark got in touch for a upgrade kit to fit his G&L SB-2, great communications - he decided on a stacked system with mini pots - instant payment & a real pleasure to deal with, top bloke! Cheerz, John

First dealing with Paul, I'm delighted to start up a feedback thread for him. After a thread asking about converting his Ibanez 1205 to passive, he contacted me for some ideas. We soon came up with a plan, which I'm pleased to say has worked out very well - making Paul a happy chap with a great sounding Ibanez. Excellent communication throughout & instant payment, he's a real pleasure to deal with, no hesitation in recommending him to one & all. Cheerz, John

Another kit for mike, for his CV Jazz bass this time, once again a pleasure to deal with, no problems here. Cheerz, John

Especially when that bass comes in on SOTW still my best rock album in the world - ever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mR-oI0lyck

Harry got in touch about a passive conversion for his G&L, great communications - a few PMs & we sorted out a circuit. Great guy to deal with, Instant payment, top fella. Cheerz, John

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1427311433' post='2728792'] I said it would be only a couple of weeks or so when he ordered and nothing has changed! I thought he was asking others to see how long they waited? [/quote]Fair enough, it just struck me as strange that you hadn't commented on the expected date.

As Alex has visited & had input here I thought he would have answered the OP's question

Beautifully done & inspirational! I'm off to have a go at that see you next week, I hope

Great guy to deal with every time, Gary's definitely one of the good ol' boys around here Cheerz, John

Just thought I'd throw my 2penneth in When I were a lad, we had to make basses all proper like, with pencil & paper & things for workin' it all out much brain ache Then came calculators followed by computers, then most recently - the internet & GOOGLE, (other search engines are also available), where it takes just a few clicks to be presented with all the data you could wish for. Here's a good one:- http://www.stewmac.com/FretCalculator They say life was simple back then

Go on then - you start how many can you find?

Early 70s our guitarist's sister joined us as a singer/front lady & we switched name to Felicity Grit and The Rubber Sin Band. Which was nice

Me - hobbyist, amateur & has been, all rolled into one played since 1 was 14 so that's 50 years on & off, last gigged in '76 before a lot of you's was even a twinkle count me out on the technical stuff, I play by ear - can pick almost anything up after a listen & play along or three. I used to say it keeps my fingers moving & helps stop the arthritis from seizing me up, but lately it's getting harder - just a few minutes playing does me still love it though

Andy wanted a upgrade kit for his P-bass, a couple of PMs & a swift dose of Paypal later - it was sorted. A great guy to deal with, super simple transaction, a pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

Howdo & welcome from over the border - which end of Kent are you?

I think - not certain - a real Japanese Fender would have Made in Japan on the neck heel, (or the other Crafted in Japan) but . . . . Looks good but overpriced IMHO.

If you lift the scratch plate - can you put up a picture of what's in there? Any shielding on the underside of scratchplate? Are the cavities painted with conductive paint already? Is it just the pots crackling? Or the jack?
