Im on the look out for a new preamp the one fitted in my factor is knacked

short on transformer windings

My Kubicki is in for a pro setup and my tech has just phoned me today to say he's having to replace the nut, which is fair enough I though it was in need of replacing anyway to achieve a better action and string spacing. I asked him what he was going to replace it with and he said a white bone nut. I insisted it needed to be black because i want it to blend in well with the ebony fingerboard and white would just stick out like a sore d**k! So he said he would source a graphite nut instead, but what is the difference between bone and graphite. Apart from the obvious!

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1317467098' post='1390962'] Two things can cause that, either the action is way too high and the string is being stretched too much prior to making contact with the fret, or the intonation is out.

[/quote] Cheers dude dropped it at the techs this morning its going have service and full setup a little expense i could do without but the tech did pick up on a few things that i didn't recognise, so it should be worth it in the end. 10 days lead time though!

I might be going mad or deaf! But when my bass is in tune (Standard tuning) the G on the 3rd fret of the E string doesn't sound in tune anyone else come across this issue?

Maple glow has been dropped all other remain the same price

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1317155186' post='1387518'] Have you considered Status Hotwire flats?... their certainly one of my favourites. [/quote] Yep but I fancy a change from hotwires, although they are reasonably priced

For quiet a while I have been using Roundwounds usually status Hotwires but i Fancy a change can anyone recommend a good Flatwound?

I have been looking recently at a few very nice short scale basses and i have played a few and quiet like them, but is there technically anything you can't do with a short scale rather than with a long scale or is it just personal preference? Technically I mean things like drop tuning and tuning down a step.

If that was mine, it would be going back. but thats just me

As the title really

Am i right in thinking this, that Simon Lees was the guitarist in Budgie? If so he's my Bass tutor!
