Get the neck off & you should find a date stamp

You might have seen already- an email offer from Stringbusters - http://www.stringbusters.com/Ko-Bespoke/productlist.asp?cat=1/BASS%20STRINGS/BASS%20STRINGS%20ELIXIR Nothing to do with me, no connection, just thought I'd pass it on, in case you're buying strings like Cheerz, John

No problems last week, I sent Andy a vintage Fender Strat (1960) pick up for rewind & it was back inside 3 days, lovely job & very reasonable. In fact he 'phoned me next morning after I sent it, before I even expected it to be delivered - to say it was done! Excellent service. Cheerz, John

There I was writing a witty reply when this "Donate" button appeared - so I pressed it - now I've lost my thread Keep up the good work mate, it just ain't right when the Basschat Down message comes up

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1353521797' post='1875604'] IMO it's the common mistake of thinking that one P pickup is two P pickups - because it is in two parts. Edit: And what's with that pickguard??

[/quote] I messaged they guy about that & apparently it has a cavity under, shall we say big enough to pack away the rest of the band's kit in when you've finished why else?

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1353520786' post='1875584'] my guess is one pup to one side, the other to the other and the centre into the volume! [/quote] Exactly

Bargainlicious lovely & if it's the old Peavey Microbasswith 8" speaker? They weren't so bad for a practise amp.

I don't have any problem with flats & I've tried several, favourites being GHS Precision Flats, which I believe are Sandbergs, so not a common problem IMO. Not wishing to offend - are you bending the string over/behind the fret when checking the tuning? Is the action a bit high? Just thinking maybe they don't 'bend' as easy as rounds, streching/changing length more & giving a bad reading when intonating, dunno just thinking out loud really Cheerz, John

This morning only - Google Chrome won't let me run Basschat - Malware warning, I'm here on ie8, very slow. Haven't had much trouble with the last few days, this seems like something new.

I made a '62 Jazz style stacked knob control kit for Neil, great transaction, superb comms from start to finish & instant payment, deal with confidence. Cheerz, John

After a good breakfast of seeded granary bread & Tuna Tapenade, both freshly made - we're back - the world is normal again Well done to the workers & fixers Cheerz, John

Hic! Sure it'll be alright in the morning

Here's Johnny

What a silly billy hope it mends quick & good, lesson learned? Every sympathy, best of luck, Cheerz. John

How about stocking more variety of Flatwound strings, especially for the guys who need strings more than they need more 'high-end brands' & while I'm at it - how about having a bass or 3 set up with Flats on amongst the many 'basses on show'?

I've got a mate's 1960 Strat in for repairs, he bought in 2nd hand in '62 & has loved it ever since. - The point is - he picked up my Vintage Advance AV2 Tele Lite style & couldn't put it down, he was over the moon with it. That's dead standard, with all Trevor Wilkinson's hardware & TBH could do with a set up. He had no idea of the name or the price but now he wants one real bad! Testament from a dyed in the wood Fender Strat man That's my impression of the Vintage stuff, punches far above it's weight/cost. Don't worry about the badge just as long as it feels right & sounds good.

'Snot Seoul is it

I know nothing about Rays, but that is beautiful & I'm sure every Ray lover & collector will be selling vital body parts to get their hands on that one!

I could certainly do you a wiring kit

2nd verse - same as the first It was a Jazz loom this time for Tony, again a pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

Betcha I don't wanna play that! WTF? I only listened to 2 mins 30, hope I didn't miss anything good

I made a wiring kit for Martyn's SB301, it was a pleasure dealing with him all the way, highly recommended to one & all, a great guy to deal with. Cheerz, John

[color=#0000cd][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]- - "the LB-112 that arrived needed a Speakon cable no shop here had in store. [/font] " - - [/color] Did nobody know the sockets Ashdown use are dual purpose Speakon/1/4" Jack ?? If a 1/4" Jack fits in the hole in the centre of the Speakon then it's a dual purpose socket & works just as well with either [color=#0000cd]- - "[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Mind you, I'm not gonna live with just the LBs.
