Heres the great man himselfs livejournal: [url="http://stwish.livejournal.com/"]http://stwish.livejournal.com/[/url] I was considering buying a bass off him, he seems to reply to mail within a coupla hours. Scored one locally though.

[quote name='Jase' post='147719' date='Feb 27 2008, 11:47 AM']I've had a few problems today and yesterday, ebay being one of them. I'm being directed all over the net to shopping links....very odd [/quote] That sounds like you need to get Adaware or Spybot search and Destroy, clear up all the dodge things trying to advertise at you. I am in no way affiliated with either of those, they ar just good free programs.

Volume volume means you can go 75%/100% and such, so in theory more variety, at the cost of simplicity. Depends on how much you fiddle with it when you are playing.

I was passing a charity shop, and there was an old valve radio in there. Had a look in the back and it had what looked roughly like a 12AX7 with Mullard written on it. What are the chances of that being a useable valve for my DHA pedal? Will the fact its been used in a radio for ages mean it probably won't be very good, or is the low power use in there going to mean its a good score? Being a charity shop the whole thing was cheaper than a NOS Mullard. Oh, and might it not have actually been an ECC85/12AX7?

Probably awnt to go heavier than a .125 low b though, will be bit slack on a 34" scale bass. My reverse headstock jazz is on pause as I need a better string retainer.

Ha, I was expecting one of those dot maps that showed the concentrations of instruments in the world., like a follow up to the how many basses do we own thread.

No-one want my Wishbass then? Everyone I've met off basschat independently of anywhere else has said 'your the Wishbass guy'. Gonna be rocking it in the Culpa if I get a chance.

Bigger strings will sort you, and bit of playing time so they lose the new string zing. Bridge should be fine, thicker strings aren't that much thicker. Only thing is you need to file out the nut a little wider so they fit, then draw in the slot with a soft pencil. Make sure you make the slot wider not deeper. As for buzz, thats an allen key job, can do it on your own much cheaper than a tech, pm me and I can talk you through on msn or something if you like. Oh, mickel strings probably what you want, if you don't play regular, steels will eat your fingers. Nickels are warmer generally too.

I just won a GA140 head on ebay, google gave me your profile, haha. Only one who bid. Whats it like then? Solid state of joy?

Use something hard, rubbery glue stuff will affect sound transfer. Ideally you dowel and redrill. When a sucky kids guitar had that happen I jammed them in with card, made a lot of difference to the tone and sustain (better than when loose).

There'd have to be cunningness to make them both not hum. Pretty sure the J hummed on my sucky p/j. The P did also, but less.

Aargh, you beat me to that cause I was drinking instead. Karma for that comment on choke. I have a suck plywood bass marked Ventura.

Apparently no, just asked, he's been in foothold, map the stars and sightless riot.

If I hadn't just dropped my jazz project at Tom Waghorns for assembling I'd have so scored that for the purpose. Now I'm putting up with a red hung in a window till it faded to pink finish.

Not so sure they are actually actively looking as much as I already fix their guitars and get on with the guitarist, and play bass, so offered a tryout.

But they are so outside my previous experience, and I seem to be expected to learn it all by ear. The band is [url="http://www.myspace.com/meaculpanoise"]Mea Culpa[/url] Previously I've played chessy blues and 3 chord rock, generally covers where I can hit the tabs or chord chart up if I get stuck. Any tips?
