    What is the difference in sound between the two birds?
  2. JJMotown
    Matte clear coat?
  3. JJMotown
    Nope, plus the gzrs have there own electrics.
  4. JJMotown
    Unfortunately, yes.

    Very true. There's a guy selling an Epiphone Explorer Bass for £550 in the Marketplace, when he brought two Epiphones (Explorer and Thunderbird) for £75. Crazy!
  6. JJMotown
    That would be VM, this is CV.
  7. JJMotown
    You didn't look very hard.

    I like the irony here, as she plays a SX copy of a Fender. Though no Chrome's or dimarzio pups, hipshot tuners, so other than the colour isn't an artist bass at all.
  9. JJMotown
    Great p pups. Right up there with cs 62 and 63 imo.
  10. JJMotown
    Great colour.

    Roswell alnico '51 style pickup. Ideal for a '51 style P or upgrade for a squier bronco bass. 9k output. £20 plus £5 postage (UK only).

    Don't believe everything you read on amazon!
  13. JJMotown
    You'll need to get a small file, as it'll be slightly too big for the pickguard.

    Don't know what you mean, this is about bass and that. Anyway, here's another Dodgy classic

    A mod classic with one of my fav basslines

    I've tried that before. Sometimes the silk is intertwined into the string at manufacturing, making it difficult to remove. I've ordered what I hope is the correct nuts to do the job.

    Some new flatwounds have fairly long silks at the ball end, which go over the saddles on my fender bbot bridge, causing them to sound very dead. I saw Duck Dunn had the same issue, and put some small nuts at the ball end of his strings which sit against the heel of the bridge, extending them enough so the silks don't go onto the saddles. Does anyone know what size nuts will allow the strings with silks at the ends to fit through? Like this:

    It's as HeadlessBassist says a top twenty short scale. Kay never made a version like this, and it's not teisco, like people say it is because it bumps the value. Teisco closed in 1968, this was made after that time.

    To get that properly repaired, would be to strip the whole body and refinish. White is the most unforgiving. The alternative is to find nail polish, as it comes in literally millions of colours etc, and very carefully touch up by layering.

    HB
  21. JJMotown
    Nope. They're much higher tension.
  22. JJMotown
    Not sure how you attach the other wires to the pot with the PCB block in the way, looks tricky to solder the PCB block with the live and ground wires going to the same lug(s). Fast and easy with these, but only as a temporary solution to test or try different pups. Think there's a hole in the center where you may be able to screw it to the body to stop it rattling.
  23. JJMotown
    You can get a two way terminal, costs pence. Put live and ground with corresponding wires soldered from volume pot. But unless you find a way to secure it, it'll rattle under the pickguard or control cavity.
  24. JJMotown
    A solderless loom does this job. EMG do an active version.
  25. JJMotown
    Was wondering if anyone uses them, and their thoughts on sound and tension?
