    I meet up with other bass players about once a fortnight. We use Google Hangouts. It's not bad. We're all members of Scotts Bass Lessons Academy

    I've sent on sandwiched beween 2 sheets of brown-box cardboard, with parcel tape round the edge. It worked. Edit: Ahh, no... That was a Jazz pickguard. Totally different animal. So, I've no idea what you can do with a P pick guard

    Damn! I was hoping this thread was an intellectual discussion on the glories of bag-pipes. Anyway, failing that; to the mad-house. Good luck on finding an amp. I saw 100w ones the other day on Gumtree for around £50-60. So there's hope. See you around Rich

    [quote name='RickyV' timestamp='1425841998' post='2711373'] Thanks Dad. I will give that a go. On closer inspection I have found that the bridge grounding wire is completely disconnected from where it was originally soldered to (I think from the back of the tone pot). Would this cause the whole thing not to work properly as described in my OP? [/quote] Yes, very possibly

    The best I've found in the UK is DJM Music. They sell Elixir Nanoweb Bass Guitar Strings Elixir String Guage-Medium/Extra Long Scale 45-105 for £29.99 £1.99 Delivery http://www.djmmusic.com/p-13410-elixir-nanoweb-bass-guitar-strings-elixir-string-guage-medium-extra-long-scale-45-105.aspx?gclid=CjwKEAiAg_CnBRDc1N_wuoCiwyESJABpBuMXjwshFScsPQT6XWanQiX8rLha5nIlwcD0B8kskeg9_hoCE7Xw_wcB

    [quote name='jsixties' timestamp='1425821634' post='2711033'] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Definitely for sale. Don't miss the chance, more than possible you will not find again a piece like this one. [/font][/color] [/quote] Doesn't "Feeler" mean you're not really serious about selling? IMHO I don't really know what "Feeler" means in the "For Sale" section. Either you want to sell, or you don't.. But that's just me being a cranky old git.

    with most modern basses you don't need to loosen/de-tune the strings before adjusting the truss rod. In any case you were loosening the truss rod; so releasing the tension on the neck/strings. I would certainly take it back to your "expert" or follow the process in this series of videos. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=te44eWXd9pc#

    Sold an acoustic to Mike. The whole thing was nice and straight forward. He's a good guy and good for his word. Thanks Mike. Cheers Richard

    Hey! Welcome Keith. It's nice to have someone here who knows what he's talking about. BTW, I like the Fs you have there. Very tasteful.

    [quote name='3below' timestamp='1425324067' post='2706239'] Based on my Warwicks - the nut is Just A Nut 2. It has the little side clips. Just A Nut 3 does not have these. JAN 3 is available in plastic or brass. Fitting JAN 3 is easy, just done in 5 mins to my Corvette this week. What a super bass for the money - have no connection with seller, just got the W bug. [/quote] Where's the "Like" button? We are a friendly lot here are we not? It must frustrate Gambisk like crazy that we ALL love his bass, but not one of us has committed the necessary cash. PS, have another bump for a great bass.

    [quote name='M@23' timestamp='1425225794' post='2705252'] I started 'Simplified Sight reading for Bass', was wondering, what is the best method of counting when playing passages of different values? For example, for 8th notes I'm counting 1 and 2 and... And when I hit a group of 16th notes I'll start counting 1 e and a 2 e and a... Is this correct, to change it up depending on the value of notes you're reading? That's probably a silly question, but its working for me now, but I don't want to continue if there's a better method. [/quote] I had the privilege to be in a Q&A session with Ed Freidland a week or so back and he was presenting on just this. Ed's counting heavily featured "Duck n chicken, duck n chicken...". So if it works; use it. If you like to count, that's good. Or you can use Ed's non-vegetarian variety.

    [quote name='Hellish' timestamp='1425218835' post='2705135'] Aye. It's quite a looker, and plays like a dream.

    Hi all, I've given up. At last I've come to the conclusion I'm never going to be famous with this guitar and I'm hoping to pass it on to someone who will realise their dreams of superstardom. This is a "Valencia" 1/2 sized guitar. Crafted from the finest forest timber of the [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Changbai Mountain, Heilongjiang, China. (Or so the man told me) This fine instrument does have a nice tone and is in really good condition. Perfect for a youngster starting on their way to learn at school.[/font][/color] This is a truly amazing instrument. It comes with a gig bag and it's the best one of it's kind I've ever owned, although it has NEVER been gigged and has no buckle rash. No amp or battery required!
