Well there you go , the massive hath spoken 😁 well done Upsy , a well deserved victor to start the year, post me a pic and I’ll get February under way , it’s a short month, with a few days away for half term, so I for one, will need to get started a bit pronto 😂

The magnets don't "see" the wood, or your fingers, very well at all. The idea was to block out the air gap so no way fingers could be put into danger. You would still want sub pinkie sized gaps to maintain the air guitar schtick.

northwest stuff is great, I have a bitsa P bass all made from their stuff I've bought a couple (3 actually) jazz necks from ebay, two fitted up well, needed levelling and the third is unused as of yet

yep looking good, well done for a tidy job confidence boosting isn't it

Hey John apparently the Harley Benton flats are very good

Albatross - Fleetwood Mac

Stingray Sunday here a decent 6 hours in the music room today - luxury

At least we're not using cubits, though they did manage to build the pyramids with them.

Pop it on the bathroom scales when you're passing. I'd like to see if my theory is correct!

Welcome AFB.

I've never known pubs to be so busy in January - another one rammed tonight. They were not very dancy, well there wasn't really the space, so it was a bit of a proggy night instead. We even had a little blast of Genesis - I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe), and I found my lawnmower patch in time 😂 The tools of the trade - Sub5 Stingish bass, GT-6B, Rumble v3 500. Black DMs. Some lovely compliments too. It's always nice when people acknowledge the bass. We have a couple of weekends off now.

For anyone thinking of buying one from Music Store, now’s a good time as they have an 8% promo code until the 8th: GB-8MSA FI4 VIP plus the CV cable for £291.82 delivered (£280.60 without the cable).

I started playing bass maybe 40+ years ago with a Fender precision after years of guitar playing but stopped playing anything seriously for the last two decades. I kept all my kit and the bass I have from then is an Aria pro2. I decided to get a short scale bass because my fingers aren't what they used to be at my age. I decided I'd get a Harley Benton bass as I have a few HB guitars, reviews were good and most of all it is cheap which means a lot to me at my time of life. I recently got an HB "Beatles" bass and it is superb so I decided to get a solid short scale bass from HB and hence I got the Harley Benton PB-Shorty BK Standard Series. I want to fit new flat wound strings even though I have only had it for a few days. Trouble is I don't want to pay £20+ even though I love D'addarios and would like the XL Chromes Flat Wound 45-100 Regular Light but they are almost the cost of the bass.😄 So the question is can someone recommend some for a lot less than £20?

I detect the hand of the master luthier, and one of his fat finger specials.

Are the pots on a shielded surface? If so, the bodies are already grounded through the shielding, assuming that there is either one pot body connected to ground or the jack socket ground connects to the shielding. If you then connect the pots together, you could create ground loops, explained in more detail here: https://www.fralinpickups.com/2018/11/12/understanding-guitar-grounding/
