[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1387546158' post='2313199'] Not sure how that's relevant to my post but if that's what you were listening to in the 70s then great but it was a long way away from what i was listening to. .............although it is rather soothing. [/quote] It's the blockheads before they became the blockheads

try it with one of these [url="http://youtu.be/hWmk-PIy4xg"]http://youtu.be/hWmk-PIy4xg[/url]

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1387532101' post='2312930'] It does to me too in 2013 but in the 1970s The Blockheads were a great band even without Ian Dury. I saw them loads of times in pubs in London and they were up there with the best of them at the time. [/quote] and for all the 1970s radio caroline heads out there ...

[quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1387530761' post='2312910'] I take your point, but how many drop tunings can we actually hear / discuss - the mods could limit / compress them surely? Whatever. [/quote] most punters out in listener-land will never be able to distinguish between a P and a J but that doesnt stop us lot discussing it ad nauseam WE

[quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1387530245' post='2312906'] Metal vs Soft Rock would be good, too. Whatever. [/quote] nooooooo you would need a whole new metalchat site to cater for all the sub sub-sub sub-sub-sub genres wotevs

a bass playing friend told me that you shouldnt use a curly lead unless you have long curly hair

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1387371559' post='2311158'] Going back to post #1, I've voiced this previously. Over in the porn section it's pretty much all club-level threads postings albeit without the narcissic need for numbers. I'd sooner see members gear on an individual thread merit basis - much like Gary's plethora of Spectors - rather than trawling through 75 pages of individual Fender Precision and Jazz basses (which, come on, all look pretty much identical). P [/quote] +1 [quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1387528633' post='2312883'] +1 We need a club for those who look at Precision vs Jazz, slap vs fingerstyle, Barefaced vs Dark Lord, and just say "whatever". [/quote] whatever never mint the PvJ apartheid we need a cats v dogs subforum

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1387361802' post='2311009'] I like where you are going with this... we could coral all the fanboi type groups and section them off [/quote] i recently heard a bass player friend say that he thought all left handers should be banished to the isle of wight and with no ferry or internet access too

if youre feeling extremley bold you could take a chisel to the body and make a recessed pocket with a snug fit for the bridge baseplate to drop it down so that it sits flush with the bodywork

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1387321624' post='2310804'] I really like the recessed jack. Is that just me? [/quote] [s]possibly [/s] probably personally i prefer flat front mounting which my other three are and use a right angle jack [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1387324250' post='2310838'] I've wondered if it's not possible to just have one mounted on a plated without any real modification, covering the existing side hole ? [/quote] as icastle says that might require some woodwork - while i dont really mind attacking my Squier's with a sharp chisel I'd prefer to leave the Yammy alone - im guessing also the plate would need to be curved slightly so might be a bit of a faff i think the 'all neutriks' (other brands are possibly available??) method sounds fine for now - the last barrel jack i bought was just a bog standard generic one from local muso shop so serves me right i guess

can we keep all the pick players ensconced in their own wee enclosure please

yes pretty much that although ive tried cables too as somebody mentioned this before about the tips - i replaced the barrel socket completely a couple of years ago but now its playing up again - i was thinking perhaps of using a female XLR as a connector instead of 1/4 inch jack

sooooo, as much as i my TRB i am now in need of repair/replace the jack socket [b]again![/b] why yamaha thought this recessed socket idea would be good is beyond me anybody ever gone for an outboard female socket type thingy - i was thinking of soldering a short cable in and clamping it and sleeving it and leaving about 6 inches of lead with a female jack socket for easy connection pros/cons/tips pls if you ever tried this ta muchly
