Great video/interview - I worried for your lovely P getting chucked around so much

My pleasure to start a new thread for a fine new member Andy replied to an offer I put up - a set of practically new strings - for a £5 donation to basschat. We exchanged some jolly PMs, Paypal done & the strings were sent. I added a bit to the donation & passed on to Ped, everyone's a winner. Great guy to deal with, no hesitation in recommending him to all & look forward to dealing with again. Cheerz, John

I made a vintage style P-bass wiring kit for Simon, great communications & instant payment, a real pleasure to deal with, great basschatter. Cheerz, John

I made a wiring kit for Darren's P-bass, great communication & instant payment, a real pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1412180354' post='2566543'] ... Yeah, but was it still in tune..? [size=4] [/size] [/quote]Well - it came with a key & a spanner - but it wasn't in key

I had a Fender product from Strings Direct delivered by Interlink Express, the day I ordered it, I was given a email confirmation - it would be delivered Monday, with a 'Follow my Parcel Now' link. On the delivery day, this gave me a 1 hour time slot, the driver's name & online tracking where you can watch the van/driver's progress with an updated ETA for my parcel . My delivery was number 50 on his schedule & while he was making his previous drops, 48 & 49 I could see which roads he was in - just around the corner! Brilliant! Fascinating to watch as your parcel gets closer if you've nothing better to do & yes it was delivered in perfect condition, inside the 1 hour given.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1412163702' post='2566278'] John, I think it's the p/g that needs drilling. [/quote]Yes "the new p/g" needs drilling, no mention of if there's an old one though

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1412147842' post='2566027'] Right, just removed the tug bar from my 75 to have a look. A 3/32" drill bit is what you want. In metric I think approx .8mm [/quote]3/32" is almost 2.5mm BTW & if you want a clearance hole in the pickguard for the screw you'll probably need 3 or 3.5mm. Is the old scratch plate already drilled? Can you try a drill through the hole/s in that?

Welcome back at ya excellent to have your expertise & experience on board, I'm sure you will generate a lot more interest in your cabs. Cheerz, John

Hi Heket, I have arthritis that comes & goes (like it does) when it's bad it stops me playing for long if at all & 'style' goes out the window Does it matter to you if it sounds like pick playing, as long as you're happy playing what does it matter? I'm sure it's been done before

Yes I think so - it appears to come complete with Strat style knob Fender TBX Control 099-2052-000 0992052000 [b]Product Code: [/b]099-2052-000 [font="no"][size="2"][color="no"]£18.95[/color][/size][/font]

The battery will almost certainly be connected when a jack plug is in the bass - so yes it shortens battery life when left plugged in. As for the rest - up to you - personally I like passive Cheerz, John

Dan got in touch about a wiring kit for his P-bass but was a little unsure about fitting it himself. It didn't take much to convince him & a couple of days later he's a happy bunny no problems! A real pleasure to deal with Dan, spot on communications & instant payment, an altogether top class basschatter Cheerz, John

Another wiring kit for Paul, this guy's straightforward fo deal with every time, one super basschatter recommended to all. Cheerz, John

As bass lines go - that's a real beauty thanks Mr JE

[quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1411228071' post='2557718'] - - - - as stated elsewhere a tone bleed on the volums pots ain't gonna work since the signal is already lost and nothing can get it back (other than amp settings). [/quote] If the signal is already lost - no settings on any amp in the world can bring it back

Hi Gary, The only thing I can suggest is that the metal contact inside the Speakon has moved/broken/fallen out & I'd say a replacement socket will most likely fix it! Cheerz, John

Good score Mark - he's a lucky 'little' chip off the old noddle & looks as happy as Larry I was suitably impressed with a Harley five the other week, must admit the VFM is very high
