Jean-Luc Pickguard

Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack

Is this the first verse of Bob Dylan's latest song? If so I'd love to see the rest of the verses.

If you were to list it on ebay as an extreme limited edition from a boutique builder, you wouldn't be the first to do this.

The best example I can think of is probably The Drifters who have been going since 1953 where the name was owned by the manager George Treadwell, then his widow Faye Treadwell, and since she passed away, their daughter Tina Treadwell. The list of members and lineups on their wikipedia page is massive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drifters

Interesting article in the grauniad about bands that carry on with no original members. Dr Feelgood weren't mentioned though which seems to be a bit of an an oversight. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/aug/04/meet-the-bands-with-no-original-members-left-yes-soft-machine-odyssey-molly-hatchet

Interesting pricing on that dean. I'm pretty sure the new price was less than half that when I tried one.

I've only used (medium scale ECB81M) chromes on mustangs and the tension although higher than Thomastik TIJF324s it isn't excessive.

I bought a red one of these a few weeks ago when I saw it hanging up in the secondhand section of Guitarguitar in Epsom. I've put an old set of short scale status hotwire flatwounds on it, a Fender hi mass bridge from my spare bits box, and a red pearloid pickguard from Brian Pillans. It looks incredibly cute & cool especially with the ridiculously chunky bridge. After setting it up it plays really nicely. I rather fancy putting in an EMG Geezer pickup but I don't know if it would be worth doing as I'm unlikely to record or gig with it in preference to my JMJ mustangs. I told the missus it'd come in handy for getting the grandkids into bass, but the eldest in only three so it'll still be a while before she grows into it.

To prevent that occuring in the new one, get someone who owns a soldering iron to replace the output socket with either a switchcraft or puretone one - my favourite is the puretone but either should last a lifetime. The output jack is one of the areas on cheaper basses & guitars where manufacturers often cheap out to save a few pennies at the cost of reliability.

Although I'm afraid I don't have any experience with reaper, it is interesting that the issue you have described is pretty much the same as I experienced with Logic Pro X before I found a solution. Based on what I now know about Logic I'm wondering whether your issue has an equivalent cause, ie plugin(s) on existing tracks when you're recording a new one. With logic it seemed to be specifically a limiter plugin that had a lookahead element which caused the new recording to be offset from the existing tracks by a fraction of a second.
