  1. Sounds like it could be a fun gig.
  2. Another bump
  3. Pm me the details and I'll sort it for you.
  4. Like you say Jack, it is going to be a difficult question to answer. I was recently repairing a customers guitar amp, different thing entirely, I know but it was making the frying bacon type sound. Anyway, the problem was a loose/dry solder joint on the board.
  5. I recently bought a couple of sets from Rothko and Frost. Good price and great service.
  6. Proper nut files are the best option but it's quite an outlay unless they are going to get regular use. Prior to having the real deal, I used a few inches of an old string (of the required gauge) super glued to a piece of dowel.
  7. A price dropped bump.
  8. Now I want a Jazz again Great job Discreet, impressive.
  9. Looking great. Ive been planning a tru oil finished pj build. I've got the pickups but still need to source everything else . Where did you get the body?
  10. A bump for the weekend.
  11. [quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1508923558' post='3395318'] when we were looking for a drummer earlier this year, we thought we found one. Could talk the talk, lived fairly close and was available. He had some demo stuff up which sounded good as well. Reading further down he stated that because he has been out of playing live for a while he only owns cymbals and sticks, but (and this is the killer) would [b]consider[/b] buying a full kit if any gigs came along.[b] Consider?????[/b] You cant blame the website for that, although maybe the parents. [/quote] Got to love drummers.
  12. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1508607052' post='3393316'] Win-win, really. And if you keep it, we know where it is and there is always the possibility of it being available in future. [/quote] A bump.
  13. Don't think it's the fault of that particular site, more that there are an awful lot of delusional dreamers, who think they want to be in a band.
  14. Please refrain from being offensive to a Bass Chat member. I have deleted a few posts. Be warned, if any more offensive remarks are made, then moderator action will be taken and warnings added.
  15. [quote name='bobbytodd' timestamp='1508670794' post='3393631'] would new pots and loom help? [/quote] If the existing ones are the cheap, nasty, tiny little things, it will certainly be money well spent changing them.
  16. Time for a bump and a thanks for the all the positive comments. [quote name='Steve Browning' timestamp='1508422663' post='3392092'] Change your mind and keep it. My pic is me playing my 66 and it's just a brilliant bass. KEEP IT!!!!!!!!!!! [/quote] If it doesn't go soon, then I reckon I'll miss the opportunity for the one that I wanted to go for, in which case I will be keeping it. Not much of a hardship though
  17. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1508411058' post='3391979'] The celluloid tort looks not half bad for the price. [/quote] It does look good, I saw a couple of examples on basses that Nick Smith brought along to a Herts bash.
  18. I was impressed with their tort guards. Much closer to the proper vintage Fender stuff, than anything else that I've seen, with the exception of the Spitfire ones from the U.S.
  19. [quote name='Normski' timestamp='1508088937' post='3389676'] Gary that is a wonderful looking Precision! It would look great next to the 66 Jazz that I bought from your very self but alas funds won't stretch at the moment. Great seller. GLWTS [/quote] Thanks for that Norm, good to hear that you still have the Jazz. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1508102329' post='3389811'] That really is stunning, Gary. Am very glad my Mum & Dad had the sense to bring me into the world in 65 or I would be flogging my very soul to own this cracker. [/quote] Cheers Lozz.
