ahpook

And here's a very quick mock-up - think it'll look better with a silver control plate, but chuffed so far. Third coat tomorrow and then some beeswax wood wax. I have a gig on Tuesday...I could be ready by then !

They do a Jazz too Come to Pookie.....

[quote name='Manton Customs' timestamp='1457700691' post='3001080'] That's most likely the Linseed in the Danish Oil causing it to go a little darker than expected. Something Tung oil based may not have darkened so much, though an oil finish will always darken the wood a bit. You could rub back and resume with Tung oil pretty easily if you'd prefer a paler looking bass. Though it looks nice as is to me . [/quote] OK, good to know about the Tung oil. The second coat is drying now, absorbed a fraction of what t did yesterday, and overall it's darkened a little, and some of the front grain has a red tint to it. Looking good !

Started on the first coat of Danish Oil yesterday, and wow, did the body soak up the oil ? I'd expected it to, but not as much as it did - it's quite magical to watch. Lots of wiping and spreading and here's the result the next day And it's come up an awful lot darker than the bare wood...didn't realise it would be quite so dark (especially the end grain), which I'll admit is alittle bit of a shame as I liked the lightness of the wood. No biggie - you live and learn...part of what this was all about. I've brought the body into the house to warm up a little and I'll get on with the second coat today.

Naaah, that's what Uber's for.

I listen using whatever method is most convenient at the time.

Can't see the pint...

If you're after a recent model, a friend of mine who's a Jag/JM fan rates the J. Mascis Sig version very highly.

I used mine for the 1st time at practice at the weekend. Used a touch of compression from the 160 model and a blended Tube Screamer for some overdrive. (This was into the practice studio's Ashdown combo...not my fave to be honest) Very gently comp, but the overdrive shone...real nice grind on top of a solid clean signal. No loss of...anything really. Next week I plan on using some EQ or preamp modelling to get a better overall sound.

I used one of these at a gig recently and was [i]very[/i] impressed with the sound.

[quote name='rmorris' timestamp='1456224988' post='2986722'] If you're running pretty much any sort of digital pedal ie it has clock signals inside it then you're likely to run into problems with non-isolated or daisy chain supplies. In this case the digital effect is causing noise which affects the other pedals... [/quote] Cracking advice in both of your posts...

American loves The Beatles because.... Dracula blew too much smoke out of his ears when he heard the Standells ? No, don't follow you....did it kill their career ? How ? Did Dracula follow them around and everyone got sick of the cigar smoke ? Why was Dracula following the Standells ? I give up.

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1455750453' post='2982194'] Smaller caps will deliver less gain, so you might want to socket and find a value that works for you. [/quote] Exactly my plan

Nobody else have this spring to mind ?

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1455744408' post='2982115'] Run a capacitor (4.7uf or 10uf) in parallel with the resistor that goes froSource to Groung - that'll get you more gain. Obviously that sort of value will most likely be an electrolytic ! Polarised cap,so make sure that the cathode goes to ground, and Bob's your Mother's brother. [/quote] Aha ! I'll give that a whirl

[quote name='bigjohn' timestamp='1455647175' post='2981121'] I grew up there. It's not caught up in the past any more than anywhere else to be fair. It's just the same as people coming to London to go to Tussauds or the Tower or whatever. You don't notice less when you live there than you notice adverts for musicals on the Tube in London. Much like London, there are plenty of other reasons to visit. [/quote] In some ways there's a drive for Liverpool (or any other place known for a particular part of its history) not to catch up. The visitors who come to see Liverpool because of the Beatles don't want contemporary Liverpool, they want the Liverpool they've seen from the 60's. It's all very hyperreal. People who know it through channels other than the Fab Four don't see the 'Beatles Liverpool' that visitors do - like you say, bigjohn, posters on the Tube - nice analogy.

I tried out to be their bassist...Didn't have a hope ! Great music tho.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1455494981' post='2979658'] Me too. [/quote] I've got a hard sp... No.
