[quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='291367' date='Sep 24 2008, 11:51 PM']Cut the slots deeper or grind down the bottom of the nut to lower it. If you go too far it will rattle, but you can put a thin bit of plasitc under as a shim.[/quote] there's a shim in there already, as it was world of buzz when i tried it without... so a wee bit of trial and error is the best way...?

if it's new, talk to the people you got it from...if it's making buzzing noises whatever you do to it then it's broken. sorry...hope you get it sorted.

yep, never seen one of those before !!! a rare beast indeed.

[quote name='odub' post='290976' date='Sep 24 2008, 04:16 PM']I wouldn't feel right taking something cheap because someone needed the money and so had to sell a much loved bass.[/quote] i wouldn't.

i'm getting very tempted to grab a few bargains while i can. spesh for a stingray...

can't add anything to the chord question, but guy garvey's got an amazing voice... "station approach" from 'leaders of the free world" can, given the right circumstances, make me blub like a baby...

ok....let's get the "ahems" and "oo-errr missus" out the way first ok...here's the problem. i bought a westone from dangerboy a while back and as ti didn't have a nut, stuck one on without much thought, but now i notice that the intonation is off on the first few frets, and i'm guessing this may be down to the nut being the wrong height. anyone confirm that this might be the cause ? and how do you work out the correct height for a nut ?

if you like a lot of thickness in your bassline, join our club !

[quote name='TheDarkReaver' post='288060' date='Sep 20 2008, 04:14 PM']Ah, first avenue. Never been there, despite living 5 minutes away. We go to Polestar, down round the Ouseburn way.[/quote] first avenue...that was it ! used polestar quite a lot too...is it still run by pauline murray ? and does it have the room with the op-art style mural ?

[quote name='TheDarkReaver' post='288019' date='Sep 20 2008, 03:10 PM']Indeed it is We had to stop every 5 minutes to let people past.[/quote] i used to practise loads at the studios behind the chillingham arms !

[quote name='charic' post='283516' date='Sep 14 2008, 08:57 AM']alternate for me. I only strum specifically upwards if im playing mre than one note at once as it sounds less muddy[/quote] it does seem to have more attack on the upstroke.

those are 5-tag tho aren't they ? i guess it would be fairly easy to work out the wiring. i wonder if i could use a normal stereo socket ? i've a few of them lying around. and ideas ?

is that the bridge over the metro at chilli road ?

[quote name='SJA' post='287908' date='Sep 20 2008, 11:26 AM']I've got the previous version of the Maplin power bank which had a different case, but the exact same spec. it was a bit noisy- I changed the regulator chip in mine which reduced the noise a bit.[/quote] the newer one must be an improvement...the soundlab is the quietest psu i've got...a [i]lot[/i] guieter than my switched-mode thinger. what chip did you upgrade to ?

i've got one of those soundlab power banks and it works a treat...gigged it loads of time with no problems. it is a bit bulky, but not overly so.

bought rob's guyatone eq pedal from himand he's a dude. arrived superbly packed and i was kept up to date with emails. second time we've dealt and both times he's been great. cheers fella !!

just waiting for a reply now...i'll let you know how i get on
