That lovely nurse when I broke 3 fingers on my left hand & said "will I ever be able to play guitar again?" She replied "no you'll have to play bass ;-)"
From a question about capacitors, Mike ended up ordering a custom P-bass kit. Great communication & instant payment, all in all a very pleasant transaction, great guy to deal with.

Mark got in touch about improving/upgrading the controls & circuit in a Overwood Tanglewater P/J. Excellent communications & after a few Q's & A's settled on a stacked knob replacement plate, which I hear he's very pleased with
Great guy to deal with, a pleasure in fact, deal with confidence.

Aljosa contacted me about an upgrade kit for his P-bass, excellent communication & instant payment. Postage was sorted & it was delivered in 4 days, not bad!
Super guy to deal with, no problems, recommended.

As long as there's plenty of thread in the neck - you should be fine. A mm or two shouldn't weaken the joint (assuming you've got 10 mm + of screw in the neck).
[/quote]A mm or two! you'll probably need .010" or .015" that's all & it'll be fine
Edit: A piece of card - business card type is usually about right!
Sean got in touch for a wiring loom to return his Fender Richie Kotzen Telecaster to it's original spec. A couple of PM's had it sorted, now he's a happy bunny
Excellent communication & instant payment, great transaction & a real pleasure to deal with.

Routinely? Yes every time I get a bass I always fit a new set of flats & that's it for a very long time.
I like to match my string to the feel of a bass - usually that's GHS Precision Flats 55 - 105 on a P-bass 1&3/4" neck. Status HotWire Flats 45 - 105 on P-bass 1&5/8" neck & TI JF344 43 - 100 on Jazz bass 1&1/2" neck. I love the Nylon Tapewounds on Fretless, GHS or LaBella, (Black or White), 50 - 105.
It's not a strict formula I stick rigidly to - but it works for me & I can't remember last time I replaced a set, I don't play as much as many folks though

Sorry not a bass related question but my recent acquisition is a Westfield LP style guitar. It has a great sound but perhaps could be a bit brighter. I opened up the control cavity and noticed it's installed with .47 caps on the tone pots which I believe isn't the standard on a humbucker fitted guitar. When in position 0 it is very dark indeed.
[b][color=#ff0000]If I put .22 will this make the tone a bit brighter in position 10 or does it only affect tone as it's rolled off[/color][/b]? I've read conflicting info on whether it has an affect on the fully open position.
Thanks!
[/quote]Yes only as the tone is rolled off - dsiclaimer - depending on how it's wired I suppose! If you put a higher value pot in ie: 500 instead of 250K it helps a bit.

I know - I was just havin' a laugh with you. I like quiet electronic music, me. Been listening to it for years.
[/quote]You sure that's not just tinitus?
