That's a tight rhythm unit

That's not good then. If you know what you're doing and can clamp the neck to get it straight, you might then have more of a chance at getting the truss rod nut loosened. 

If it definitely only twisted once the strings were removed, have you tried putting them back on?

Our guitarist suggested the Slade one for next Saturday, the singer can’t be bothered to learn the lyrics.

Its a pretty tasty bass line by Jim Lea, more difficult than people think, can’t bluff it by just playing root notes, you totally loose the feel.

Have to agree, a very tasty bass line and it only works if the drummer can get the shuffle thing nailed.

Slade and Mariah for us, Fairytale is my least favourite Xmas song to play.

 

This one has the most interesting bassline though:

 

That's the one that I always suggest but it falls on deaf ears 🤔

The Slade one is getting an outing from us tonight. 

So glad to hear that it's fixed and to have you back, of course

Glad to hear that you've been reunited 

I thought Trevor regularly uses a G&L.

I can vouch for Sir Spence, he's a sound chap to deal with 

First off, just have a good look over the terminals on the switch section of the pot.

Looks like a good example Clarky, very nice.

I was carrying out a fret levelling job at the weekend and had Argus playing on the Ipod. Still one of my fave albums and even having listened to it countless times, I had to keep taking a break from the fret filing to enjoy the bass playing and his tone.

Sometimes doing the best thing for you, can really seem like the hardest thing to do. Really relate to what you're going through mate.

Maybe a few months down the line you can go for a more low key local gig. 

Looks like you had fun 

Great pics and some lovely basses.

That does look rather lovely Dave. Mrs S won't be making that mistake again

Yes please! PM'd

Beat me to it

Might have to get one to partner my Fallout guitar.

Hope it improves for you.

If I were to cancel a rehearsal due to a splinter in a finger, my band would give me hell.

Nice one, sounds like a good deal. Some decent pots will make all the difference.

Last week, I converted a customer's active Squier Jag to passive. Completely transformed it, from an horrid boomy mush to clear articulate Fendery goodness.

Sorry a bit of a thread hijack but just making the point that sometimes the manufacturers don't get it right and that simple can be best.

Will keep you in mind 

You lucky chapI'm sure that will sound mighty good.

Our drummer has some phone app thing which tracks the actual tempo he's playing at and he uses that to make sure he's playing -broadly - in time.

It's early days with this band but it seems to work. There've been a couple of occasions when the guitarist has queried the tempo and the drummer's just pointed at the trace line on the app. Discussion closed.

Dave can you let me know the name of the app? Cheers.
