I fitted one to a Combustion 5. They are definitely an improvement on the stock bridges, but I felt the design was a little off (e.g. very close to body edge on B side) as well as the semi-visible routing hole where ground wire emerges seemed odd to have not designed away by after test fits.

Totally agree regarding that line up. I was lucky to see them play on the old Jazz stage at Glastonbury '93. They were on just before The James Taylor Quartet who headlined. I danced a lot that day! Nick Van Gelder left to form Akimbo with Simon Bartholomew from The Brand New Heavies. Loved his drumming with the early Ozrics too 👌

Also... I've been on the Analogman King of Tone waiting list for 6 years now. Still not at the top! But you don't pay at the beginning for that. Only pay when you confirm you still want it when you reach the top.

That`s the very one I`ve been umming & ahhing over

This. Since Covid I've managed to reduce some of my back problems by regular daily workouts. I'm working on all muscle groups, rebuilding muscle mass and strength. Unfortunately, all my good work is being undone by an arthritic hip which doesn't respond to any treatment other than pain killers!

Don't believe everything you read on amazon!

Poah, killer looking bass! Congrats!

I would also suggest doing exercises to improve core strength, especially to build up the muscles supporting the spine. The best way of doing this is to go to a gym and start doing weights (get advice on what exercises to do). I used to have back problems (displaced disk), but have had no issues for many years, not since I started going to the gym!

That 1993 video is the ultimate lineup for me. I got to see them live twice after the 2nd and 3rd albums with Derrick on drums. Although I thought Derrick was really good, I always wished I had seen them with Nick Van Gelder on drums - I wonder why he left so early on - he seems really spot on in this gig. I always thought JK was a bit of a pillock, but absolutely loved the Zender era music they produced. They definitely lost something when he left IMHO.

This thread's about D'addario strings... Update, my ETA has been pulled forward to next Tuesday. It was July/August initially, lol.

I use this technique to brighten dead strings. It really does work and saves £££.

Jamiroquai had a magical swagger about them at that time, both musically and visually. Zender was a massive part of it 👍
