  1. Past hour
  2. Worst thing about nut work is the smell of bone dust... especially as a vegetarian!
  3. Wise words indeed....
  4. Well Santa brought me the set of ‘Holmer’ nut files. I’ll practice on some suitable material before risking my real nuts😅
  5. Sunny Afternoon and Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting are both fun to play.
  6. A lovely looking bass and I can only echo Owen’s sentiments. I hope that your financial situation improves dramatically and rapidly
  7. These are from a little thing I did with friends recently just to gig the Hamer 12 and do some Cheap Trick songs. First time for years on lead vocals for me, no rehearsal with the drummer, it's a little thrown together but it was a lot of fun. A friend's wife took the video.
  8. I have an enormous collection of files. I have diamond ordinary swiss files of various qualities. I always rough slots with a junior hacksaw. I then widen out with files. I finish to depth with a scalpel or other very sharp blade.
  9. I understand your curiosity ! but I'd rather not do it myself since the ramp seems to be securely attached to the body. I mean I don't think there's any problem removing it but perhaps during a routine visit to a luthier ? Thanks for your comment!
  10. This sucks. I am sorry to hear it.
  11. Definitely US. This came from a parts bass made by a Sadowsky employee. No real markings on it to identify as such. The pickups were scrubbed out and headstock left blank for fear of repercussions. I still have the neck - Brazillian rosewood fingerboard, Graphtech nut, Schaller tuners.
  12. You can get VERY cheap digital oscilloscopes these days. Plenty good enough for detecting hum on power rails.
  13. Today
  14. No matter what bass I play, or what head, speaker or combo, my signature sound is exactly the same.... flat, boring and uninspiring.... Guitarists love it
  15. Made in Japan Metallic black 9 lbs 6 in weight 24 frets Rosewood finger board Frets in good condition JBE P/J pickups I had the electrics changed to a Glockenklang 2 band preamp a couple of months ago as the original was temperamental (it is included. If you know what you are doing with a soldering iron you might be able to get this back to original spec). Some chips but nothing major Gig bag Pointy headed goodness It’s the first bass I’ve ever had that just ‘hangs’ right. No reaching with my left hand. Right hand placement is just ‘right’. I’m only selling as I’m going to have major difficulty paying my mortgage and bills and I’m not in a band, so it’s this or my cheaper, improved (bridge, pickups) Squier VM Jaguar V, but the Charvel will go more towards the bills.
  16. Cool little phaser pedal from the JHS budget line, was on my board for the last 8 months or so but I just prefer the more simple Phase 90 for my use, the less knobs the less chance of me fiddling during gigs! It can pull off the Phase 90 vibe and also do much more extreme sounds with the feedback knob switched on. Pretty much as new except having Velcro on the bottom, with the original box and bits and pieces. Price includes UK postage, will knock £5 off for local collection
  17. Thanks for that - it's definitely worth trying, and would fit with the suspicions that the foot pedal switches need cleaning - if they do, maybe other jacks and switches do
  18. Throwing Stones - Grateful Dead
  19. Happy to listen to offers on this - with/without badass etc. I have a box for shipping too currently
  20. They are really good basses...well balanced, nice J-ish neck, well built...more than just Alembic copies...
  21. I don't have a digital caliper to measure it with such exact precision. But I imagine those specifications can be found on the Fodera website.
  22. Oooooo that’s interesting! I’ll try it again in that case! I haven’t updated it since I got it so maybe that’s it, I think the change between the release version and updated one were only to volume knob so can’t imagine there’s any change to functionality!
  23. I'm a bit late to this conversation but I'll add my experience. I bought cheap - they were so dreadful they went straight in the bin. I bought a set of Hosco double edged files - they are great. Beg, borrow, steal a decent set. Don't buy cheap.
  24. Stoned - Silverchair
