I used to like [color="#000000"]Cheryl Cole[/color] but now I think she's reet fugly. What is with that? Oh, I don't mind blocks... used to to like them more than I do now though.

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1337944625' post='1667756'] I see the Snark is getting an update for added accuracy and tuning speed. ...[/quote] Ooh I like updates. How will that work... or are we talking about a new model?

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1338022935' post='1668682'] The most important number is the amps rating as that's where it goes pop. [/quote] I suppose I could have worded that better... I meant amperes.

There's got to be a joke in there somewhere about "the sound of one hand slapping".

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1337941843' post='1667653'] I've got a cheapo clip on one for my accustic guitar, my zoom 506II has got a built in tuner for gigs, and I've noticed at open mic nights when it gets noisey it doesn't work very well, have to try and find a quiet corner, is it the same with one of these? [/quote] No.

[quote] According to the previous owner [size=4][b](a Mr [font="Verdana"]Derek Trotter I believe)[/font][/b][/size] took the bass to Tibet, the instrument has been blessed by the Dalai Lama. [/quote] Fixed

Bought a body off Del. He had it delivered to me the next day. Smooth as you like. Top guy to deal with. Many thanks man. Rich.

[quote name='pumkinkin' timestamp='1337863747' post='1666561'] At this point I would greatly benefit from an instructional song on how to sand the neck of your bass, maybe accompanied by an animation featuring a bass neck running away from the grim looking sandpaper, who in the end turns out to be a nice fella. [/quote] It's a little short notice but....

[quote name='pumkinkin' timestamp='1337861221' post='1666500'] Somehow the thought of approaching my basses with sandpaper gives me the heebie-jeebies -I know it sounds stupid. But maybe it's time I man up... [/quote] Stick to the 2 basic rules young Padawan and you'll be fine - always follow the grain and never sand anything that doesn't need to be sanded... ie. quit while your ahead.

[quote name='pumkinkin' timestamp='1337859644' post='1666474'] No problem, I actually enjoy the discussion, so by all means, feel free to continue. I did find the link you suggest but on closer inspection noticed it's possible to order in multiples of 12 only. Afraid I don't have sufficiently many basses to justify that kind of a purchase. [/quote] Search for lemon oil (it's basically the same stuff) Although I'm not sure that stage in the vid is exactly essential as you sand off the top most layer anyway, what's the point of cleaning it first. Fine if you already have the stuff.

I'm a veggy and have no corrosive sweat issues. Quite the opposite actually, my hands are very un-sweaty... or oily even, so much so I don't even leave much of a finger print on anything - you should see me turning the pages of a book (or other times where a firm grip on a piece of delicate paper is highly necessary ) or opening a fresh bin liner. It's quite comical... to my family at least.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1337845054' post='1666169'] Is it just me or does anyone else think that the combination of fan-frets and headless being squared off behind the nut looks wrong? If the nut-end string retainer was custom-made surely it would have been possible to make one which matches the angle of the nut? [/quote] I personally don't think that it would look sympathetic to this particularly rotund design (which I dislike a lot - especially that jigsaw-piece-lug upper horn)... it would make perfect sense on a different, sleeker maybe angular design though.

Its strange that it should single out a particular string. I wonder if it might be playing style... or a particular song which has you digging in too much on the A?
