  1. Generally leave it alone for a day or 2 then when I come back to it I can usually get it fairly easily and have to try and work out why I was having a problem with it in the first place!

    Might be something to do with clearing yer head but I usually learn 2 or 3 at a time when in flow so it could just be the act of forgetting about the troublesome one and getting something to empty it from yer head!

  2. I couldn't get the nut off so tried to buy the neck from CH guitars.

    The money never came out my account after trying to use some daft PayPal passport thing but failing miserably. So I decided to have a rummage through the tool shop at work and found a tapered Allen wrench that loosened it braw!

    Gonna wait another week to see if they take the money but hopefully not now and I'll just get a new truss rod nut.

    Is it a Fender Jazz? I've got a sage green Fender Jazz. If it is you can justify the Fender decal being on there, I don't know why you would put one on if it's not. That said, I've always loved the look of blank headstocks.

    It is a fender. Suppose I could see what its like blank though.

    Also guys I'm trying to do this on the cheap so exotic woods were out from the start!

  4. Well I couldn't get my head round the maple just not fitting with the green so opted for the Rosewood.

    I searched for CH guitar necks on here and they def seem worth a punt. Any tips for rounding off the frets if needed? Also would I be out of order if I bought a fender decal for it?

  5. Hi guys, the neck on my sage green jazz is goosed. Truss rod adjustment nut is rounded. Happened before I got it but I could always tweak the action if I was careful. It has finally had it though and I really need to adjust it so a new neck it is.

    I found some necks on Ebay for around £60 - £80 which seem reasonable as I cant justify spending more on a neck than I got the bass for. Anyone used a CH guitar neck?

    All i am asking for is some opinions on what fret board I will get.

    I always fancied a maple neck but not sure it will suit the green colour of the body. What do you guys think?? Rosewood or Maple?

    +1

    Like you said possibly imagined but gigged my jazz last night after stringing it up with the above gauge and it hasnt sounded better.

  7. [quote name='Ross' post='1321092' date='Jul 30 2011, 09:13 AM']I sometimes come in with a low offer expecting someone to counter offer. Not ri.diculously low but one of the reasons I buy second hand is because you can haggle the price down a bit.

    One thing I never got about cars is when people use paying in cash as a bargaining point, you can pay by any way you want it aint gonna make the price go down.[/quote]

    Valid point but some jack ass tried to buy my old motor with travellers cheques once! I just laughed at him and put the phone down.

    Another guy wanted ME to go 10 miles down the road and meet him so he could buy it off me... and why would I do that you plumb?

    Seeing as how someone else revived this thread and I only just noticed, an update wouldnt hurt :)

    My head unit I am using is actually exactly the same as the amp section of that combo! I will take a pic at next practice but its identical :)

    I run it into aither a 400W 4x10 Peavey or a 400W 2x10 home made cab. I actually found a faulty/blown Triac in the output section of the amp and replaced it and since my first post it sounds even better :lol:

    I still only have to crank it 1/4 vol and can compete in small venues with a loud drummer and a normal vol (read loud) guitarist.

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='1006415' date='Oct 30 2010, 04:18 PM']Don't give a second thought to the stats quoted for the cabs. 250w into 200w cabs is not a problem, just be sure to use your ears and listen for them complaining and be sure not to distort your amp output. As for what to match with your existing cab... get another identical one! That is unless you want to start going down the route of getting a pair of 4 ohm cabs in which case if you are on a tight budget I'd get a pair of 2x10 Peavey TX cabs (they are generally 4 ohm cabs).[/quote]

    I'd go with 4ohm cabs to get the most out of the Superfly. I use one in the house for practice but I used to gig it with a single 2x10 4 ohm 400W or a 4x12 marshall 4ohm also 400W. Very rarely did I need to use both but with the 8ohm you might need to use 2 cabs to compete with a loud drummer.

    The Peaveys are a good shout I think.

  10. Usually decide on a tune to learn at a practice and polish it off at the next practice. If I am singing it seems to be maybe 2 -3 practices but not because it isnt right, mainly because I still dont have the singing confidence yet and I push it back til I am really positive about it.
