    [quote name='icastle' timestamp='1336216838' post='1642599'] That's much better than meths. The purple meths has a chalky residue, admittedly not much, but the general principle is to leave the windings as clear of debris as possible. [/quote] the wipe down definitely has a noticeable effect - i always do it routinely if ive got a gig or audition just to give them a bit of extra life for the rest of the day

    [quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1336207544' post='1642411'] Boil them or soak in meths - there are several threads about it if you search. I use flats and so they last for as long as I want them to. [/quote] once my strings get a bit old i wipe them down with isopropyl alcohol - seems to have the same effect

    just a quickie - been having a browse and didnt want to resurrect some of the lengthy old threads - the general consensus on them says go for FLAC i always used to think that mp3 at 320 was ok-ish but ive just done a quick audio comparison against APE and it is a no brainer for ape - it is quite impressive imo does anybody have any specific experience of comparisons of ape against flac?? the rip software i have does everything except FLAC - any recommendations for FLAC rippers/players?? i basically want to move away from mp3 format and iTunes which always seems to want to grind my system to a standstill thanks

    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1336167270' post='1642165'] Man, thats very nice indeed. I have a 5 string version and its sweet.

    it certainly caught my eye when i had a GAS attack a year ago - id already had TRB so i knew what i was getting and just went for it pretty much on looks (yes shallow i know) well it does have just one tiny flaw but i prefer to think of it as an "identifying mark" - on the top horn there is a small orange fleck about 1mm long which is actually a mark in the grain of the wood oh sorry forgot to post in the original - stagg hard case thrown in for this price

    [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1335973606' post='1638874'] That's just made it even worserer. I need to leave early and get home to find out what this is all about. Dave [/quote] ...and... ?

    [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1335959500' post='1638568'] When you can't see what's getting talked about your mind conjures up many weird and wonderful things. [/quote] think boutique bass meets manga hello kitty

    bump the measurements were taken from the scanned image not from me holding a ruler or tape against the item btw (which i would argue with my cad/illustrator knowledge is more accurate than eyeballing a measuremnt with a ruler! but nonetheless still open to 'interpretation' as to where you place your start and end points for measuring - if you print the image you should have an accurate 1:1 scale to be able to take measurement from)

    [quote name='TimR' timestamp='1335895608' post='1637726'] I think some semi-pro bands have ideas far above their station about what they actually do and some of them are very misguided about how good they are and what they sound like. [/quote] having done a few function band auditions just lately id say this +1 some have been fine and i would have accepted if they had offered but some were just a bunch of egos riding the 'function band reputation' and even if i had been offered would have politely declined

    [quote name='JayPH' timestamp='1335957209' post='1638510'] Steve, you know too much about this [/quote] ... as leschirons said earlier ... he is probably one of the most discussed bass players on here everything i know - i learn from basschat edit - in fact if any mods are reading this then they really ought to consider setting up a separate subgroup for the HJ threads

    [quote name='JayPH' timestamp='1335915532' post='1638154'] [/quote] he's Korean btw

    this is a scanned image - is actual size at 600dpi so if you print it out without any size adjustment you should be able to measure from it pic direct link is [url="http://bigblueballoon.net/p-neck.jpg"]http://bigblueballoon.net/p-neck.jpg[/url] edit- have removed pic embed as i think the size was causing browser issues
