did you see the thread on here a year or so ago where someone took the fretboard off a Wal to repair it and showed how much carbon was in the neck?

No - pretty sure we turned it off. (Ie not 100%)

Anyone got any ideas... took a Korg SV1 keyboard to church yesterday for the keys player to borrow.... plugged in BUT TURNED OFF, and connected to the desk via XLR, or jack and DI box we got some crazy high pitched squeals and whines coming through the PA it wasn't turned on... what could cause that? something getting from the earth and neutral into the audio inputs?

I like the body shape - kinda jazz, kinda not

Ok use G&L as an example which were better built... it was still added to the design... why?

I always thought shims were to fine tune neck angle compared to body - not to lower action... there is though differing level of craftsmanship in basses - and something cheap and mass produced might need a shim, cos it's relatively cheap and mass produced... whereas I doubt the one bolt neck on a Freedom custom guitar research Rhino bass would ever need one! @Twincam - how do you feel neck micro tilt features like you find on 70's Fender and Musicman and G&L ?

You know they don’t exist any more ?

Thanks

Was it a Mayones guitar?

this looks like a great project The guy got anything else kicking about?!

Would a modern clone of an original pickup, with the same type wire and slightly degaussed magnets sound that different? If you have an original pickup rewound does it change the tone?

or just mainly stick them on the wall to gather dust?

@AndyTravis would be the knob expert on this thread

keep laughing - prices gone silly the last two three years

Im not entirely sure what this is demonstrating Mr League tends to sound good playing whatever... again I'm not sure what I'm demonstrating but here's another good player with a more recent Mexican fender.

you know the answer to all your problems is another wall hanger. And whatever goes on it isn't allowed to be a P.

I did not know that - this is why I try and keep my mouth shut when I don't really know what I'm on about! I like the mint guard. A lot of tort looks wrong compared to the original stuff.

The fellas on OnSong can spit the set out in the key you’re doing them in as PDFs in about 2 seconds…

And you can just sync the Rotas into your calendar. It also can be used to manage the set lists and do the licensing reporting

Churchsuite works really well as a mobile app too

until you turn the purple one into a stingray right?

Lace alumatone pickups?

I was about to say similar - some crazy wierd stuff topped off with a super thick hard sealer. I had one, think it wasn’t silver series and it was fine till I stripped it to try and fix a chip in the finish from the previous owner…

As he then files it into his Fujigen Gakki wardrobe …
