What some people have done on US Talkbass is "outed" slow suppliers: that could be an option to try and apply some pressure? Dr Bass cabs got very bad press on TB and they have held up their hands and acknowledged the issues and have brought in more staff to totally restructure the business.

It's a steal but very purty! [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1964-64-Vintage-Fender-Jazz-Bass-RARE-Sparkle-Gold-Orig_W0QQitemZ270499128849QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item3efb012611"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1964-64-Vintage-Fend...=item3efb012611[/url]

Not really, as that hand print is actually Mark King's.....

and in a shameless bump from a couple of hours ago(!), I'm going to start a provisional attendance list: 1. Born 2B Mild 2. yorks5stringer

I've been saying for years that biggest is not necessarily best .......

Now relisted at £499 BIN, about £480 too much?

The Boomerang system below that strap looks interesting: it looks just like something quite familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it.....

Great tune, does anyone have a definitive way on how to pronounce her name, I always seem to run out of vowels?

I love the way the thread has been highjacked so we get a little bit of bass strings then some teen horror serial info at random!

The module is absolutely identical and they have not asked for it back, ( nor did they enclose any fitting instructions!). You are correct in that replacing the piezo wires would have meant slackening strings and removing the bridge and possibly some more soldering too ( the wires had the plugs on one end that fit into the module but the other end were unfinished), so given I had a gig Sat night and it arrived around 2.00 pm I applied some pragmatism to the replacement and left well alone!

[u]How to replace the electronics module on Stagg EDB[/u] 1. Remove screws from module and end pin compartment, and put them somewhere safe! 2. Remove any shielding tape from the end pin compartment ( I have a feeling mine is not standard and was added by the last user but could be wrong?) 3 You should now be able to see the wires and how they sit in channels. Remember or sketch/photograph their position. 4. Unscrew the 2 screws from the jack socket, again put these somewhere safe. You will have been sent a new module (which is identical) minus knobs ( these just pull off the old ones) and new wires to the piezos. I did not change the piezo wires, I can't see why these would be an issue? 5. Unsolder the 3 wires from the jack socket, making a note of which wire goes where. 6. Unsolder the red and black power wires next to the jack wire socket on the module( making a note of which way round they go). 7. Unplug the piezo wires, again note their position,the module is now free of any connections and can be put to one side ( for a project...?) 8. Solder the red and black power wires back onto the new module 9. Feed the grey cable into the jack socket space and re- solder all the connections from the new module onto the jack, red, white and ground. 10. Plug in the piezo wires to the new module. 11. At this point find screws and screw in 1 to the jack socket and 1 into the module plate and test everything works! 12. Remove screws and feed all cables into channels, I then relined my cavities with adhesive foil making sure some will touch the control cavity cover which is lined as well. I kept the foil away from the end pin path so it does not touch it and possibly cause intereference? 13. Replace all screws, care with the one over the end pin as it only short and on mine hardly grips. 14. Enjoy your new quieter and greener Bass!

I had a subscription to the Angling Times (a weekly) until recently, it would almost always arrive days, even a week late, sometimes not at all. I cancelled it. It was sh*t. I've not seen complaints about BGM arriving late until now, give them a chance eh?[/quote] Yes, but Anglers have lots of time on their hands, it sort of goes with the territory...........................?

[quote name='bethnalgreen' post='673160' date='Dec 3 2009, 01:35 PM']My subscriber copy still hasn't arrived. I phoned them again (third time). They say they're posting another copy to me today. Suggest that anyone else still waiting calls them as well - 01884 266 100 .[/quote] My sub. copy only arrived today....

All that slapping reminds me of Bassday 2009.......

Have done!

Thanks, in a shameless bump ,if anyone knows anyone......?
