  1. What on earth do you need three of them for? Are you nuts? Oh wait — as you were! Cheers Lozz, I'll get up early tomorrow to do it to one of the blue ones — The one with the freshest chromes. You'd think Fender would pay more attention to this kind of thing on a £1200+ bass.
  2. I have three JMJs but I have not shieded any of them with copper tape yet. Has anyone done this on their JMJ? If so have you noticed a noise improvement? I Noticed a definite improvement when I did my Classic Vibe Mustang. I have a gig tomorrow evening and I'm not sure whether I should be spending time in the morning practicing the songs or dismantling the JMJ I'm planning to play to apply some slug tape.
  3. Sherlock Holmes — The Dirtbombs
  4. Thomann might send you the correct psu if you ask nicely — or at least sell you the correct one and comp the postage. What you need is a 12v centre negative 3A PSU, however most suppliers seem to have centre positive ones which are supplied with a polarity switching adaptor that goes on the pedalboard end — which isn't a particularly elegant solution. edit: typo
  5. When Thomann sent me a powered pedalboard with a non-uk plug I emailed them and they send me a new power cable for no charge. Maybe they'll be able to send you the correct adaptor if you ask them nicely.

  9. for restoration work these are good: https://www.voodoo-decals.com/
  10. Are Reliced/Roadworn pedals a thing yet? If so this one should be worth a fortune, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225790579043
  11. Crack The Window Baby — Tony Joe White
  12. In your position I'd probably take a spokeshave to the kit guitar neck followed by some sanding to get a better profile. What's the worst that can happen?
  13. The listing says it comes with the original case, but only an aluminium edged flight case is pictured. The sunburst looks a bit unusual, but could it have been a three colour burst where the red has faded from sitting in the sunlight for too long?
  14. I Done Got Wise — B.B. King
  15. Cab It Up! — The Fall
  16. I've never heard a difference in tone or sustain from fitting a shim, however whenever I shim a bass I always use a thin piece of card in the bridge end of the neck pocket. This will increase the angle of the neck rather than just raise it. A thin shim applied like this will have as much impact on the height of the string at the bridge as a much thicker full pocket spacer like a credit card.

  23. just snagged a BB-X1 at a good price on ebay - hopefully it'll be here in time to test it out before Saturday's gig.
