Jean-Luc Pickguard

I don't know anything about their basses but I think when I was a Student in the early 80s, I used to eat their boil-in-th-bag curries.

Can you post pics of your control & pickup cavities and your wiring? Are you able to check that the shielding is continuous with a multimeter, also using the multimeter to check that everything in the loom that should be grounded is also continuous? I can post some info on how to do this, but if you prefer to be hands-off, take the bass back to your luthier and tell him it is still humming.

You could be disappointed if changing your pickup doesn't reduce the hum. Have you checked the circuit? If the output jack is wired up incorrectly this can cause untold amounts of hum. Also shielding the bass's cavities (and the back of the pickguard) using copper tape with conductive adhesive — often sold as anti-slug tape, can work wonders in reducing hum.

Doggin' Around — Jackie Wilson

I've never seen this style of bridge, it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing piece of irnmongery I've seen. I do however remember the 1982 Fender Precision Bass Special Walnut looking like this, having seen them at the time:

Piece of Shih-t(zu) — Wet Leg

The Jack (Russell) — AC/DC

Caribou — Pixies

I like the idea of the mod shop, but the options for hardware etc were far too restrictive for me. I found that (re)building my bitzer precision around a fender replacement neck allowed me to put together an instrument that has my favourite components.

Filthy McNasty — Horace Silver

The Tweed Smoker's Dream — The Harlem Hamfats

The shape has a suggestion of an upright bass, so I wonder whether there's an endpin included so it can be played vertically?

Reverb has decent protection for the buyer (I've never had cause to claim on it though) so it seems a bit odd that that this is being requested. Nothing to lose in doing a quick video though, just be wary of follow-up requests.

I'm Not Going To Eat A Thing — Roy C

I now have the guitar version which is actually three separate mutes, all of which work well on bass. I'm using the smallest one on my new (to me) starcaster bass and it takes the edge off the sustain nicely. I'll give them a go on the bass vi after I've put the LaBella flats on it.
