Happy Jack Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 It's what you get when you improve the bad wires on your potentiometers. Quote
chrismuzz Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I don't even have to click on the link to know who you've quoted do I? Quote
Stacker Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Nope! I loved the bit about 'improving wires'! Edited October 5, 2012 by Stacker Quote
Dave Vader Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 wax my fingerboard and i will hit you with my bass. the big upright one Quote
yorks5stringer Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 It's similar to "honing the jack socket"...... Quote
untune Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Fixing the bad wires made me chuckle... Is it just me or do the questions at the bottom sound like he's posed them to himself? Quote

charic Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 [quote]Q: Hi Mark, I've heard these arias are great guitars but the neck profile is more like a p bass than a j. Would you agree or I have I been misinformed? Thanks Steve 20-Sep-12 [/quote] [quote] A: Hello Steve, Right now I have a couple of Jazz basses but no P-basses to compare it with; certainly the neck is slightly wider from E to E (not ear to ear!) than the Squier Jazz bass I have as well. Some hardware such as the bridge assembly on the Aria, seems rather more well finished than the one on the Squier, but both instruments are superb in their own way and I think as good as Fenders. The Squier I have is Korean and I think the Aria (no label I remember) is as well... or might be MIJ? Happy hunting, Mark.................. [/quote] E to E? Quote
gemdids Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Bad wires?? And why does he always have to pose with the guitars? What possible benefit or adding selling point is seeing a fat man holding it?? Quote
Happy Jack Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 You're obviously not a fat man then ... Quote
Nibody Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 he outbid me on a Japcrap bass a while ago. Then promptly destroyed the truss rod with his expert "Guitar Improving" skills and tried to sell the neck.. Quote
waynepunkdude Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 You should have seen what he did to a 7 string he outbid me on. Quote

Mykesbass Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Mmmm, a whole £2 less than a new one, but then of course a new one wouldn't be master bodged I guess! Quote

Happy Jack Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 What - a set of nail files and some beeswax? Quote
