No, if it's a high fret then it will need either filing down or reseating, if it has lifted.

Illness Has Stopped Me Gigging Temporarily
gary mac replied to Chienmortbb's topic in General Discussion
Struggling at the moment. Covid hit me hard about two weeks back. Still can't stand for more than a few minutes. Fortunately my band were able to get a dep to replace me for a couple of gigs last week. Next gig is the 16th of this month, so I'm hoping to be fit enough for that but not overly confident -
My GK head died mid gig at the weekend. Any recommended repairers in Herts area please?

Sad to hear that Mick.

Yep, have experienced that We thought Last Dance with Mary Jane would go down a storm.
-
Very sad. I dread looking at this thread.
-
Exactly what I do in the majority of pub venues.

Just a regular candle.

I keep an old candle on my work bench and just pull the screw thread through it.

Greco Gob 700 Refret + other stuff
gary mac replied to Biscuity Boyle's topic in Repairs and Technical
Well done, you've made what looks like a great job of it. -
I'm not in London but if you are able to travel to Hoddesdon, Herts then drop me a message.

I installed a set of G&L U.S. MFD SB1 pick ups in my my P bass build. No additional routing required to body or pickguard, they dropped right in and give me the sound that I loved in my SB1 but in a lighter weight instrument.

Well done Rich, that looked like a challenging job.
-
No rush, whenever you're ready.

Thank you for the recommendation @Grangur @sirmuppet pm me some close up photos of the frets if possible.
-
That is so awfully sad.

Even with a metal plate, I still prefer to also rely on a ground to the jack.

Thanks Lozz. Mick has my number, happy to be of service if I'm needed.

UK towns with a healthy live music scene?
gary mac replied to Sparky Mark's topic in General Discussion
Hoddesdon, virtually next door to Hertford has a very lively scene, at least five pubs with bands every weekend. -
I'm a fan of the NYXLs, well worth the cost, the set on my gigging bass have been on there for over a year and still sound fresh. I've recommended them to a number of my bass playing customers, who all seem to love them.
