Wear the band's logo t-shirt while gigging?

I would have no issues...if I HAD a tee shirt with the band's logo on it! -
John East. Shout out. Legendary service.
Oopsdabassist replied to NancyJohnson's topic in General Discussion
I bought a Jazz pre from John many moons ago, Given I don't live that far from him he invited me over and I spent a wonderful afternoon in his workshop drinking tea and talking bass and electronics, he let me touch his vintage Fender P bass too, must be worth a fortune, but he wasn't fussed, lovely man!! -

Just acquired one of Lee's 2nd hand Bridges for by Bitsa Squier project, from reaching out to delivery in 5 days is pretty damn good given the state of the post nowadays. Super helpful and kept in touch throughout, great fella to do business with!

Replacement pickups arrived this morning, installed and happy to report problem solved. Tony at Ironstone has been excellent, and I can thoroughly recommend him if you are considering replacement PU's , very knowledgable and helpful. PS they sound great too!

Just swapped out the neck PU for one I found (after a huuuge rummage) Problem gone, just emailed ironstone, hopefully this gets resolved quickly.

I've flipped the neck pickup, no difference, not tried the bridge pickup though, thanks I'll give it a go. If this is the case, what's my options, do I need to return the pickups?

I've recently been playing around with an old Squier PJ body, which I've hacked about to fit a JJ setup. I've got a brand new pickup set from Ironstone which I've fitted, plus a new Kiogon loom. My issue is the G string is noticeably quieter than all the other strings. I've tried all the usual suspects, pickup height, strings centred over the pickups, changed the string, I even swapped the neck out for another one I had....all with no improvement. I've double checked to make sure I got the pickups in the right order, bridge and neck, and now I'm running out of ideas. So, any suggestions? Cheers.

Sat night at a small pub just behind the High Street in Tring, Not much space and there was a 60th Birthday party going on too, luckily we got em all dancing quite early and the evening ended very sweaty. Great fun all round.

Excellent! Has Fields of the Nephilim vibes methinks.

Love a bit of 10cc, think I've seen that doc before, but what the heck...tnx for the link!

Just received a VBT loom for my Squier PJ conversion to JJ. As in all previous transactions John is fast and efficient, and lovely to chat too as well. Long may he continue!!

Multiband Fundraiser for Harefield Hospital yesterday, due to play for 45 mins on the back of a truck in a field behind the nurses home, winds estimated to be between 20-40mph, but probably no rain..........what could go wrong? Well apart from 1 band not making it, which meant as soon as I got there it was...'quick, set up, we're on in 10' We also played a bit longer to make up for the missing band, it was a great afternoon/evening and even got home before the missus went to bed....happiness all round! You can just make out my TH500 atop a Barefaced 2x10 behind the soundman in the middle, damn thing was so loud the sound guy took me out of the PA totally as I was shaking the speakers so much, and it still held its own......love my Barefaced!

I too hanker for a jazz pickup config but hate the jazz bass shape. I have a battered PJ Squier that I intend 'tweaking' to fit a Jazz pickup in the 70's position, lines up quite nicely with the existing P route....with a bit of chisel work...... A custom pickguard and Bobs yer auntie!!!, Oh and I'll probably rattlecan the body to a different colour too....
