[quote name='mrcrow' post='578320' date='Aug 23 2009, 04:48 PM']late question is the housing meant to be a tight fit in the body? if its coming out then i suspect you may need to make it 'stay' in the hole drilled for it would some epoxy hold it sounds like a desoldering job as well[/quote] Hi McCrow, It is indeed meant to be tight in the hole (ooh-er!) Epoxy is something else I've read about as an alternative fix. At the moment the Electrosocket is looking to be my fave option as it screws into the body so will sort this problem out once and for all. [attachment=31438:Electrosocket.jpg] Soldering is not a problem for me so not too bothered about de-soldering it to fix it. Cheers, JTB

Hey Clarky, Thanks for the link. From a bit more digging it seems an Electrosocket is a good answer to this particular problem. Cheers, Jon.

Had a look last night and can't really see down the back of the hole well enough to see what needs sorting. Can anyone shed any light on this please? Cheers, Jon

Just to clarify it's the jacksocket [i]AND[/i] housing that comes out of ther bass, not just the nut & washer! Will dismantle it & investigate properly this evening. Cheers, Jon [quote name='BurritoBass' post='576525' date='Aug 21 2009, 11:26 AM']This is the main design flaw on telecasters so stands to reason it could happen on a Sting bass or a 51 P style bass. Take the volume / tone control plate off and you can get to it from the back. Then you can tighten up the washer from the outside without twisting / breaking the wires. Once it's tightened it'll be good for a long while. Touchwood my 51 P-bass hasn't been a problem. It's a relatively simple proceedure though. Good luck.[/quote]

How do I fix this please? It all holds OK until you pull the cable out and the whole jack socket and mounting cup assembly comes out with it Regards, Jon

[quote name='Clarky' post='576449' date='Aug 21 2009, 10:32 AM']...I explained beforehand that I play quite hard, pick-style and each time...the action came back super-low and buzzing like crazy if you didn't use a feather finger-style touch I should have said something but I felt a bit overawed as they seemed so busy.[/quote] This exact thing happened to me too and again I didn't say anything there and then as I was happy to tweak things later on... The J p'up install work was flawless though....Will still think twice next time unfortunately.

If you do use backing tracks please, please, please, please use WAV files, or something similar, to keep the best quality you can, your audience will appreciate it

[quote name='alexclaber' post='572757' date='Aug 18 2009, 11:55 AM']Another mean driver! Note that it weighs 80lbs on its own... Alex[/quote] Alex, Just as a bit of fun, what size box are you talking for that driver, roughly? That and a Big Baby would be pretty funky IMO! Cheers, JTB

A really nice man to do business with! There was excellent comm's all the way through the sale. Thanks, Jon.

What about we get a load of Dunlop ones done with Basschat's logo- Ped?

There should be bl00dy breathalyzers on PC's/Macs aswell, just to stop those silly buying sessions late at night

I've not used them but there's also: [url="http://www.pickfactory.com/"]www.pickfactory.com[/url]

How about an An Ampeg SVT-2? That has a gain knob that dirts things up! One for sale on hear too somewhere...

Like your style Ste! I'm also surprised at the lack of old Fenders cropping up

Don't get too serious now Taity, c'mon what would you have bass gear wise? [quote name='Tait' post='570248' date='Aug 15 2009, 09:41 PM']if i had unlimited money, none of the first 3 things i'd buy would be basses i'm afraid.[/quote]

Hi Folks of Basschat, For a bit of fun what would you have if money was no object and there was transport/roadies? Let's say a maximum of 3 of each items to 'keep it real' I'd have: BASSES:Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt P bass to my exact spec, Shuker Classic Jazz, EBMM Custom Made Stingray, AMPS:Matamp GT200, Aguilar DB750, Thunderfunk 750A, CABS:Tecamp 8x10, Mesa Boogie 2x15, Aguilar 4x12. Your turn!

Hi Rowbee, Not gigged them yet but reheared a few times with them up to 'working pressure' with a rock band and they sound great. The MB amp with both cabs sits well in the band mix and with a great authority. They are a pleasure to carry around which has been a revelation too! Cheers, Jon.

[quote name='Clarky' post='568756' date='Aug 14 2009, 10:39 AM']Hi Jon, looks good - and I bet the whole rig weighs less than your lovely but beastly Mesa 400+, even if you add in your second Compact!!![/quote] Thanks and you may well be right Clarky!

Was playing through this at home the other night and thought it looked rather nice!
