setting up bass and guitars

+1 for Dave's World of Fun Stuff (I'm a subscriber to his channel) and he's a bass player too (he likes his Fenders). I wonder if he knows about Basschat?

Look up a series of videos on YouTube by John Carruthers, I think they're on Elixir strings channel, he takes you through the basics. After some persuasion from the good folks here on BC I had my first go at it, with the JC video playing on my iPad while I did it, it's very satisfying! Last one I had done professionally was awful, took it to the same guy I've used many times, not sure if he was having an off day because he's usually very good. I didn't have time to check it when I picked it up and as he'd done plenty of stuff for me before, I didn't think there was any need, but when I got it home and played it, it was a buzzing mess. That sort of convinced me I had to learn how to do it and give it a go.
[/quote]+1 for the JC videos. Really helpful

Ah you can have a special 'Ray section called 'one trick ponies' just for the non-believers, and even a Barefaced section just for Russ! :-D

I was thinking of bringing Russ in as head of barefaced sales actually, lol

Haha On a commission only basis, so no sales, no wages, just to hear him have to praise them to his customers!

I fear this shop might not make much money!

Could try Tony Edwards Guitars in Hunstanton. He's on Facebook.
