Jean-Luc Pickguard

[quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1498918515' post='3327978'] The bridge on my old Ibanez was either a Schaller or a copy and it bent upwards, so I was put off the design (fairly or unfairly). [/quote] I bought a Schaller 3D in the mid-80s for my precision and the baseplate of that bent upwards, so it is sitting in my bits box now. I thought this was a weird thing to occur, and assumed it was a one-off but hearing about yours I wonder whether it is a more common occurance.

I still have the '81 'international' cherry sunburst precision I bought new from Rockbottom for £260 when I was 18. The weight of it is ridiculous as its made from the same kind of ash used for baseball-bats.

Steamed Oak? for some reason this came to mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDUIGvpDolw

Not a bass, but I wish I had the money for [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-derbyshire-40380623/george-formby-s-banjo-ukulele-for-sale-at-auction"]this Gibson[/url].

I suspect this listing might be a lost chapter from Dylan's Tarantula [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Im-Baby-Grand-Piano-Animo-Et-Corpore-That-By-After-Englands-Civil-War-1642-5-/292151449345"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Im-Baby-Grand-Piano-Animo-Et-Corpore-That-By-After-Englands-Civil-War-1642-5-/292151449345[/url]

I'll try to explain: The curve of the pickguard doesn't look like it follows the curve of the lower (treble side) horn as evenly as a Fender - I can see a bit of a gap there where more of the body finish is visible. It looks like that part of the pickguard should extend a little lower.

I've previously seen the weird gap between the lower edge of the treble horn and the pickguard on SX basses. The manufacturer of SX basses has sold the same basses to various distributors under various names and the same basses have been branded as 'Jim Deacon' in the UK. The headstock shape also seems like it might be similar to the shape used by some older Jim Deacon models

Looks nice but its not a squier, mighty mite or licensed by Fender neck as the headstock is not the correct shape. The blob on the end of a Fender/Squier/licensed headstock would be bigger and the lower edge would be more curved. It looks more like one of the generic Chinese necks that come up on ebay

Stock answers used by bands I was in when punter make requests: Do we look like a f'ing jukebox All requests must be written on a £50 note We don't do that one, but we will play one later which contains some of the same notes

I like 'em. What type of Epiphone thunderbird was it? I've owned two - the first was the original epi old-style bolt-on version but a limited edition 'alpine white' version and the one I still have is the pro-v 5 string version in the raw oiled finish. I'm looking forward to seeing the new version which appears to be a much closer recreation of the orginal 1964 gibson.

My understanding is that the stock tuners on my 2004 CIJ mustang were made by Gotoh so swapping them out for generic chinese units would probably not be an upgrade. I have no problem with my tuners except that I prefer the look of lollipop-style ones as fitted to original '60s Mustangs. The posts are smaller than most similar looking tuners so they probably won't fit without enlarging the hole with a reamer. If tuners are loose they could just need tightening and odd vibrations can possibly be caused by how the strings are wound onto the posts. Can you post pics of the front & back of the headstock?

Knotty pine neck, tuners fitted backwards - Perhaps this was made as a teaching aid to show what happens if you start making something without a plan. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unique-Acoustic-Guitar/152556012463"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Unique-Acoustic-Guitar/152556012463[/url]

If it was one of my kids (aged 21 & 19) who thought it was a good idea to so this, I'd tell them that if you can't manage to save up £139 over a two or three months to buy the thing outright, then buying £250 worth of kit it on the never never is not a good idea. As you're not one of my kids, I'd suggest buying a zoom H2 for recording rehearsals & gigs and a spare heavy duty guitar cable to make up the difference.

Its not the funk machine which was a '62 with the work 'funk' carved into the neck heel & filled with ink. Before that he had a black '57 and after that a mid 60s one with a later version of the Fender logo which he used in LA. All were stolen from him and not recovered. Never saw any mention of him owning & playing any other basses in that period, and never heard any mention of him ever owning another 61/62.

The Duke & the King were a great band who split up after two albums (released 2009 & 2010)

Never heard of the Fathead, but I used a Groove tubes fatfinger to remove the effects of a deadspot at the 5th fret of the G string on a jazz bass. Could the lack of volume when the band is playing due to another band member's stomping over the frequencies - such as a bass drum with boosted eq going through the PA or a guitar that sounds great on its own, but doesn't just occupy its own part of the frequency spectrum and has too much boost on the lows and low mids?

would it fit in a rifle case? if so it would be just the thing for starting an incident at the airport

It shouldn't be promoted as a live concert when they do that; it should be called reverse karaoke

I used to own a pair of ashborys - I tried a set of Road Toad Pahoehoe black polyurethane strings (as used on the Kala U-Bass) on one of them which didn't have as much of a double-bass tone as the standard Ashbory silicone strings, but they did seem to stay in tune a lot better. I also had a harley benton uke bass (actually went thought three of them due to QC issues) and didn't like the thundergut strings as they stretched and went out of tune all the time like the ashborys.

I Have a '72 daphne blue musicmaster bass but a mustang in that colour would be perfect. I'm not sure it would work so well for a long scale though.

The pickups were definitely added - mustangs always had the small rounded split pickup until the prawn-shop one came out with the big chrome telebass humbucker a few years ago. Anyone else think that Tina looks just like Errol from the TV series 'Uncle' in that video?
