Jean-Luc Pickguard

On reflection, I think if you contact Thomann, rather than sending a new adaptor, they'd probably send you one of these -> https://thmn.to/thoprod/350932?partner_id=31190 Which isn't ideal, but it wouldn't be as wobbly as a shaver adaptor

I'd get a Boss BC-1X Bass Comp and a Boss BB-1X Bass Driver — which are coincidentally the latest additions to my pedalboard.

I don’t think there has ever been a plastic cover for that style of pickup — I’ve certainly never seen one, they’ve always had the bobbin exposed.

I thought about it but came to the conclusion that I don't think it's necessary as the only wires under the pickguard are where I've already shielded.

I like to think if Gustav Klimpt was a bass player he would probably have enjoyed shielding his basses.

I've just completed shielding (and testing) my black JMJ, so I just have one more blue JMJ and possibly the white CIJ mustang to do.

The rules of this thread are simple - replace one letter for another in a band or musician/singer's name for comedic effect. Anyone found adding or removing letters instead of replacing or changing more than one letter run the risk of being at the wrong end of a Paddington Bear Hard Stare.

Mirror in the Bathroom — The Beat

Probably worth about £20 on a good day with the wind behind it. — then only for someone who needs a sacrificial bass-shaped-object to smash up on stage.

When I repainted a 1972 musicmaster bass body (that a previous owner had stripped) many years ago I figured it would be a good idea to fix the huge neck pocket gap before spraying. I nicked a wooden spatula from the kitchen and cut a piece out of that and glued it in. It came out a lot better than it probably deserved to have. The missus never did find out what happened to her spatula.

I did the gig last night with the newly shielded JMJ & it behaved immaculately. I still have plenty of the anti-slug tape left on the roll so I will do the shielding on other two JMJs over the next week. I already did the shielding on my competition Orange Classic Vibe mustang, but I don't think I ever did it on the vintage white CIJ — my first mustang, so I'll probably do that one as well.

I keep all of mine at home when I have a gig.

Southbound — The Allman Brothers Band

I've shielded one of the blue ones and whereas yesterday I noticed it was picking up a bit of hum which went up and down in volume as I moved the bass, now it is dead quiet. I was trying to rush the job though and managed to scatter all twelve pickguard and control plate screws across the floor and under the sofa. I managed to find ten so this bass now has two slightly mismatched screws. Oh well. I'll have to do the same (apart from the losing two screws bit) to the other blue JMJ and the black one or they'll never get taken out
