Friday night I had the back window of my car smashed in behind Koko in Camden. My Black Fender Jazz Bass was taken - was later told I was the third person this year to have this happen to them on that street. Apparently they watch you load in and out and pick their moment! If anyone hears anything about it, please get in contact as I loved this bass: Fender US Standard Black Jazz Bass with Black Scratchplate and Rosewood Neck (S1 Switching) Fitted with a non-standard ‘Badass III’ Bridge. Was in a Warwick Rockbag gig bag when taken. Has quite a large chip on the headstock (where is fell out of a fire escape!) and has been well gigged, so it’s not new looking by any stretch of the imagination.

Mitch[/quote] I hope you have the serial number and have reported the theft to the police. As if even Crack Converters do have it at some point its a sod to prove its yours if you dont have these details. Keep an eye out on LOOT & Gumtree too..my sons mixing desk turned up on there(GT) almost a year after it was nicked Wish you luck with a fast return

[quote name='TheDisparities' post='871005' date='Jun 18 2010, 06:14 PM']Hit guys, i first realised there may be a problem with my truss rod as i saw my bass had some up bow so i tried to tighten it. It felt really tight and didnt do much for the necks bow. Then just now, i played really hard on the open A, and the bass made a wierd metallic rattling noise from the neck around the fifth fret. The string wasnt touching the fret bar, i dont know what it was. Could it be a snapped truss rod? Cheers guys Chris[/quote] Have you not tried adjusting it yet???

[quote name='Rumple' post='648618' date='Nov 8 2009, 12:00 PM']I have an old 60's Selmer valve head that was given to me many years ago and I have never turned it on, I'm curious to see if it works but I seem to remember that it's not a good idea to turn valve amps on without having a speaker attached, is this correct? I only have my EBS cab and don't fancy plugging it into that. Any advise would be appreciated. R.
