Thanks folks, I'll keep it in mind

This is driving me crazy. I'm making a fender/warmoth jazz and it's all set to go apart from tuners and pickups. Tuners are from Sussex and were shipped 2 weeks ago, first class. Nothing yet. Pickups were shipped 5 WEEKS ago from the US, and nothing yet. I'm getting a feeling they're somewhere at the bottom of the Atlantic. Anyone have really bad experiences with shipping or really long times? I just wanted to vent sorry, it's time like this you realise how much you just sit and pick up a bass when you're hanging out. Oh well, there's always tomorrows post!

Can someone tell me what 'darker' sounding means on the 84's? I had a look into them and I'm after a dirty grinding bass tone, but does darker mean that?

Very nice! I sold one of these about a month ago and kinda miss it now. Great solid tone and feel. Might I be cheeky and ask how much you got it for? PM me if you don't want to say

Smash, yes it does I'm afraid. Maybe keep an eye for a 2nd hand one? I don't know about you, but I get really fussy about neatness and a tidy pedalboard, so the cost was worth it in my case, as it eliminates an extra power supply and the gigrig is small enough to look neat and tidy. I sold my xo microsynth and gigrig late last year on here...you gotta be quick!!

I honestly don;t know about using more than 1 pedal. You could either shoot the guys an email at Gigrig, or maybe ask Higgie on here as I know he used/uses one? And the muff isn't mine I'm afraid....although the one I have is in even better condition

The XO Microsynth WILL work on a daisy chain, but you have to use a Gigrig Virtual Battery (about £25-30), attach it to a connector on the daisy chain then join the gigrig and the microsynth. The gigrig works as an isolated output and therefore takes away the 'daisy chain' element. I did this using a Johnnyshredfreak power supply and got no hum whatsoever. The Gigrig people are nice guys too so support them!

Lee bought some tuners I had, no problems at all, a thoroughly nice bloke and would deal with again in a jiffy!

Check out the Orange Crush series...either 20 watt or 35. I have a 20 that's plenty loud over acoustics and it sounds great too.

That looks excellent! Congrats. I just sold a Gibson G-3 and looking at this again is making me question my motives! Great work buddy, I love a good restoration job!

[quote name='WarPig' post='478698' date='May 4 2009, 12:08 AM']I just used a hand drill, but it has a spirit level/laser built in. But to be honest the screws arent that long, so eye-straight should be alright. Just hold the screw against the drill bit and use masking tape to mark off the depth (sorry if you already know this)[/quote] Very helpful Warpig and Protium, many thanks

What did you use to drill? I'm thinking as I need to drill 13 holes and no more in the near future, I might just pick up a hand drill or one of them fake dremel's.

Hi all, I'm going to be drilling some holes in a new Warmoth neck shortly for the tuners and string tree. Anyone have any tips/advice on how to do it cleanly and so the tuners are all aligned prefectly? I'm thinking using masking tape before I drill will help protect the finish, but any other advice? Thanks!

I quite fancy trying one out, but can't find anywhere that stocks them or anyone selling one on. I tried a GK 700RB last month and it sounded nice, but no 800's. What gives, Basschat?

Maybe I had a dud, but I had a MIM jazz many moons ago and the bridge was god awful. Put a badass on and it improved it no end. I only went for the badass as I wasn't aware of the Gotoh at the time.

I'd probably take a Gotoh. Cheaper, looks more like the original (if that's your thing), does just as good a job.
