Sounds like it's picking up the wireless signals from nearby. Is it a wireless mouse? You could try shielding your amp with tin foil - don't do anything dodgy that might give you an electric shock ie stay away from the mains lead. You don't need to be too finicky with it to start with just cover the outside... but don't let the men in white coats see you doing it though.

[quote name='machinehead' post='1185299' date='Apr 1 2011, 09:38 PM']I love natural finishes too. My 75 reissue jazz is ash body with rosewood neck and pearl block markers. Yummy. If I ever bought a Stingray it would have to be natural too. They just seem to suit a natural finish better than any other. Frank.[/quote] +1

It's back on the bay. He's looking for £400 this time. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160566609792&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123"]link[/url]

It's baaaack. [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160566609792&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123"]link[/url]

Holy cow. I wonder if it's hiding something.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' post='1184620' date='Apr 1 2011, 12:50 PM']Its up to £606 now, anyone having a bid? I might if it stays sensible and the wife will let me ;o [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330545485108&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT[/url][/quote] Save it and buy a pickguard.

[quote name='matski' post='1184431' date='Apr 1 2011, 11:13 AM']You'd have to be either mental or have more money than sense to buy a scratchplate for £89! ....[/quote] There was a thread not all that long ago where a privileged BCer was defending paying £500 for a Fodera one? I suppose it's ok if you're luck enough to be in a position where you can save up your child tax credits to go toward ostentatious crap.

Do they both have identical value capacitors? I'm as flummoxed as you but thinking outside the box perhaps they both hum, only one bleeds off more highs (where the hums tend to sit) which makes it appear to not hum. I'm sleepy, does that make sense?

Is their pound of flesh worked out on the total fee (incl p&p) paid by the seller?

Haha I'm obviously rubbish at japcrap Jon. Everything I point out seems to be on your sh*t-list. I like the lines of that Top Twenty and even if it was was a bad'un it wouldn't stay that way for long after I gave it a going over.... I wouldn't shell out £120 on it though, my mind's eye figure is still in the market we had a couple of years ago.

The B2.1U is a great pedal (I remember the ZNR being particularly useful on it) but with all the different parameters it's possible to layer on a single preset it's quite easy to over do it and end up with some real mushy effects. Have you considered a factory reset and just staring over. I like my L-1000 just straight in.... but it's different beast really.

I like [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1969-70-TOP-TWENTY-BASS-BROWN-JAPANESE-USED-/320678542590?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4aa9ee3cfe"]this[/url] wee beastie... probably because it can't make up it's mind if it's P or a J.

A teeny tiny spot of superglue.

I never knew Tom Waits was on BC.

If it's just for a one off job (not much more) then cheapos like [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-NEEDLE-FILE-SET-HANDLES-Thin-Small-6-Assorted-/200545450167?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item2eb170b8b7"]this[/url] will do ya fine. I've been using a B&Q set for years and they are still ok for most jobs.

T'ain't no bad thang neither.

For those not up on Scots dialect, it eludes to the fact that she was a manky eyesore. Thinking she was down with the lingo, she chirpily mentioned it a few times on our local telly, in radio interviews and I heard even on MTV too. Classic.

[quote name='Toasted' post='1181927' date='Mar 30 2011, 10:21 AM']I personally think £1500 is a bit high, especially given the condition. Having said that - if you put it on ebay and 2 people want it, then it could sail past that. OTOH, you might only reach £800ish.[/quote] I'm no Gibby expert but this is what I felt too.
