Jean-Luc Pickguard

Only if you like the top of the headstock sticking out the top

Resistance — Muse

I have ditched the few remaining third party plugins I had been using in Logic. I have even stopped using amplitube SVX / SVX2 for bass amp emulation in favour of logic's built-in bass amps.

Does anyone here use Routenote? I uploaded some new albums for different projects I am involved with and they went into the 'in review' list. Two weeks later they are still listed as being in review even though the page had stated that it could take up to seven days. I've opened a support ticket, but that is still unanswered 24 hours later. I don't remember it being this slow last time I added something. Is it always like this these days?

Sitting On The Dock Of The Bagel — Otis Redding

If they’re basses rather than guitars, I would take/send them to the Bass Gallery in Camden for them to sell on commission — the 15% cut they take is fair and the 85% you keep will be a lot more than any shop would give you in a straight sale.

After Dusk — Izabella Khalo

Kiss On My Liszt — Daryl Hall & John Oats

Same Old Bullsh1t — Puss N Boots

if you have the magazine and the bass is distinctive enough - ie it has a distinctive grain pattern that is visible in the photo, it might serve as proof, but a letter from Geoff or Cliff with details would add more weight to the proof

From A Buick Six — Bob Dylan

I don't care, I won't be there — might be amusing to get this played though

When I had a jazz bass I changed the pickguard from white to tort to black, and for some time I played it without a pickguard. I would probably do the same again if I ever got another one as changing the pickguard is so easy on a jazz. If I buy a secondhand one and a previous owner had hacked up the pickup cavity, it would pee me off a lot, and if this was disclosed before the sale (as it should be) I wouldn't buy it.

Rock The Boat — Hues Corporation

Trans-Europe Express — Kraftwerk

Lipstick Traces — The O'Jays

I only have a top one, My Ashdown ABM600 Evo-IV. Other amps I've owned were okay but they don't come close. I was fortunate enough to buy it as 'ex-display B-Stock' for £300 from PMT a couple of years ago which was a pretty good deal.

Why would someone do that? Also that headstock looks like it will be as sticky as a wetherspoons table. The body is essentially worthless. Any value would be in parting the rest of it out, but I don't understand why someone would list something so filthy without any attempt to make it look presentable.

You can now do this with the stem splitter tool inside Logic Pro 11. If you go to file -> Project Settings -> Smart Tempo & set [Project tempo mode] to [Adapt project tempo] when pulling in a recording, then set it to [Keep Project Tempo] any regions subsequently added can be in sync with the imported track. Now it's possible to split the track into stems, you can mute the drums and add drummer regions, and the new drums will automagically be in time. I did this yesterday with a track I originally recorded in the late 80s using my trusty fostex x-15 portastudio. The drums were from a Yamaha RX11 drum machine and I always thought they could be improved upon. Using the technique I outlined above, I muted the drums stem, and set up some drummer regions with Logic's simmons kit with a bit of gated reverb. After some more remixing (Logic's octaver pedal on the bass etc) and mastering I think the track now sounds very much improved, but still of the period.
