I would glue wooden dowels in the existing holes and then drill fresh holes.

P bass, first time using flats - EQ help needed!
gary mac replied to Painy's topic in General Discussion
I love flats at home but definitely not when gigging with the current band. However I eq. it just sounds muddy and indistinct. -
[quote name='bassbora' timestamp='1480665823' post='3186168'] I came across another item I have and was thinking of maybe selling. But I have no idea how much its worth. So I don't want to put a crazy price on it but I am not sure if its against the rules to pose the question. What do the mods say about that? [/quote] Your best bet is to research Sold Items on Ebay or just do a Google search. Valuation request posts on here will be taken.

Now sold. -
Putting this on hold for a few days.

If you are buying shielding tape for the back of the covers etc. I think I would be inclined to just use tape for the whole job. For around a fiver you can buy enough to do the whole lot. Get the proper stuff with conductive adhesive and the job is a breeze, well it's a bit fiddly but a worthwhile upgrade. Check it over for continuity with a multimeter once you've done and enjoy a much quieter instrument Make sure that the output socket doesn't make contact with the foil, I was caught out by that the first time I did a shielding job.

I was planning on keeping this but have decided to stick with a lower value Pacifica, for home noodling. The condition is almost as new, one small dink to the paintwork on the rear of the top edge and some very slight blemishes, too insignificant to photograph. The fret work is extremely good and with no signs of wear. Head stock is lovely and clean. This is a Mexican Blacktop model from 2011/12. Nicely set up and wearing a new set of D'Addario strings. The pickups are powerful and versatile, with plenty of tonal variation. Comes with a Fender gig bag. £425 collected from my place in Herts. Cash or Bank Transfer. I can post for around £20 with a decent courier but as it's not in a hardcase, it will not be covered by insurance.

Why is my Fender Jazz so temperamental sounding?
gary mac replied to Jaykingfunk's topic in Bass Guitars
G&L's are generally a much more powerful beast. I love my Fenders but tend to gig with G&L's for this very reason. Having said that the Jazz should be consistent throughout the gig. So there must be something wrong or you are suffering hearing fatigue. -
Bumping again.

Can you use a jack plug in a neutrik socket ?
gary mac replied to essexbasscat's topic in Accessories and Misc
Some of them are designed to take both. -
Nick Seymour / Crowded House appreciation thread
gary mac replied to wateroftyne's topic in General Discussion
It shouldn't be a lonely thread. Great band, superb song writing and bass lines that always seem just right. -
Not one of my largest purchases on here but Gareth was a gent and got it posted to me double quick. A pleasure to deal with.

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1479658164' post='3178185'] Hello Gary. Never done this kinda thing before. How would a man know which was the volume and which tone before invariably putting them in the wrong way, 1st time. Do the actual 2 parts with the 4 poles have to go in in a specific orientation? [/quote] Karl. Will pm you in a bit, just trying to juggle with Bass Chatting and cooking a roast and my wife is right, I'm not good at multi tasking Looks like this is now sold anyway.

Another bump for my lovely Dingwall

[quote name='addictedtobass' timestamp='1479638901' post='3177961'] The neck releif seems bob on it was a bit buzzy up on the 19th fret but that adjusted out. i think a shim it is then. any recommended materials ? [/quote] Card is often used and is generally fine, even better though, is a wood veneer or any sort of material that won't compress.

[quote name='mikeswals' timestamp='1479503701' post='3177151'] Amazingly it arrived in only 2 days! [/quote]Have you been able to put it down yet?

I would be happy to take a look at it for you. If it is a case of just a clean up and glueing back in, happy to do it. I'm in Herts.
