Maybe the strings ...they are quite heavy but have been on for a while. [/quote]There's your problem more than anything else!

It might even help if you put a WANTED - GENE SIMMONS 'AXE BASS' in the Items Wanted forum ^ & yes what tractor said ^

I think the seller needs a reality check - after 24 bids your's was the highest - so how does he get "it's worth more", that's the winning bid, that's how ebay works. I'd be aggravated, (as a buyer).

That one's definitely for the offing

I think it needs a bit more Tippex http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Epiphone-Jack-Casady-Bass-LIMITED-EDITION-WHITE-new-slight-repair-/181468133218?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a4057f762

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1405858372' post='2505826'] Old valve amps always needed a load. ALWAYS. Never really understood why but so hard to repair back then... so utmost care was taken with loads and impedances. [/quote]Aah! Those old valve amps always have a cab plugged in & usually a pie in a foil tray & chips wrapped in newspaper on top, over the vents to keep nice & hot for after the gig. Never stand your beer on top though - can't stand warm beer although it's always handy to have a pint or 2 closeby in case the newspaper catches light Usual disclaimers apply, please don't try this at home, your home may be at risk etc.etc.

Wrong - IIRC - you don't have a Koi pond

You know what you should have done - don't you Mark

^good job^

No, looks el-CHEAPO

At least he/she didn't scratch it into the lovely wood - it looks like just bits of tape stuck on. Apart from that it's got a sort of Wal look to it don't you think?

Al got in touch after a bit of an accident had put some of his controls out of order! We discussed the options by PM & soon sorted a kit for him. Excellent communications & instant payment, Al's a great guy to deal with, no hesitation in recommending him to one & all. Cheerz, John

Nick got in touch for a P-bass wiring kit to give his old P an upgrade, great communications & instant payment, a real pleasure to talk to & deal with. Cheerz, John

Yes, this weeks star prize goes to Ghost Bass - https://www.dropbox.com/s/2opubr7rchzasas/2014-07-16%2013.50.07.jpg

My AV '62 RI P-bass is wearing GHS Precision Flats 55-105, fitted/changed from the Fender rounds when new. Any changes to truss rod were minimal from factory settings & I don't remember having to change it since, for about 3 or 4 years. IMHO - if you want to change strings at all - you're going to have to gain confidence in setting up, it'll pay huge benefits in the long run, getting the action & playability exactly how it suits you - without the bills! There are hundreds of youtube set up videos, not to mention our very own Basschat Repair & Technical content http://basschat.co.uk/forum/12-repairs-and-technical/ Cheerz, John

[quote name='electric nate' timestamp='1405437007' post='2501894'] AHA! I've found one! Sadly it's not really my style aesthetically, but i've found one bass that's only routed for a j bridge p/up [/quote] I bet it's got a P-pup route under the pick-guard

If you have a standard Jazz, how about a custom scratch plate with no middle pick up cut-out, maybe a 1 piece incorporating the control plate with just the one hole for volume & one for Jack socket?

Hey Mark, You can send it down & I'll 'av a butchers if you like

You need to connect the paint - I presume you mean conductive paint - to the earth coming in from the jack socket, which should also be wired to the pot bodies. Usually a screw is fitted anywhere convenient in the control cavity, with a solder tag making good contact with the paint & the wire soldered from there to the earths mentioned above^ wherever is easy. Cheerz, John

Send me a picture of the wiring on the pots & I'll see if I can guide to as to which ones to swap , shouldn't be difficult if you can solder?

Simon got in touch for a P-bass wiring kit, great communication, all done in a couple of PMs, instant payment, perfect way to do business, no problems Cheerz, John
