Hi all. Newbie lurker for a while, mainly in the classifieds, but I've been having a slight problem and wondered whether any of youse luvverly people might be able to help? I have what is now effectively a Mex Standard Jazz (it's a bitsa bought off here but the bits all add up to a Standard). I recently had it set up and fitted with new strings, and it's a beaut. However, pre and post setup I noticed that the E-string saddle seems to lower itself progressively on the grubscrews, to the point that the E-string buzzes constantly. At first I just thought it was my lousy noob technique, but I just compared the E-string with the rest of the saddles, and its way down. A few turns to get it back up, and job's a good-un. My question, however, is this: Is it feasible/realistic/a good/bad idea to use some kind of fixative on the saddle grub screw - for example, a light threadlock, or some of the missus's nail varnish, just to 'freeze' the saddle in place on the threads? Or am I asking for a lot of trouble down the line and should I just put up with it? Cheers in advance.

Hi; Looking for someone in Birmingham, preferably South Brum - Moseley, Kings Heath etc - who can teach funk, jazz and slap. It's got to be evenings only - I've got no chance of daytime, so that seemingly rules out Steve Amadeo. I know the basics of reading, but haven't got a clue about bass clef - 18 years as a drummer have left me unable to read melodic scores! - so experience of teaching sight reading would be great. Any thoughts?
