Limehouse Lizzy - top dollar, far better than what John Sykes thinks is Thin Lizzy these days. Live Wire - also top dollar. Hayseed Dixie - super f***ing cor blimey second to none top dollar. Up there with Brian Fox.

[quote name='phil_the_bassist' post='303545' date='Oct 10 2008, 08:28 AM']well, on average bands do seem to consist of somewhere between 75-80% fragile, egotistical morons, and 20-25% the bassist (depending on your lineup) so it's not suprising when you have to deal with cabrones like that![/quote] 33%. Like it should be. Bass, drums, beardy-wierdy bloke with Rhodes / Hammond and a worse back than mine.

[url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25843&hl=gabbie"]This[/url] is the most stunning creation ever. That Spitfire is a close second though. You getting buried with that too, Russ? <Rubs hands with glee & waits...>

I believe the shim should have just brought the neck up relative to the bridge, to prevent the saddles on the BA bottoming out, right? If this is the case, then as long as you are not at maximum extension on the grub screws on the Wilkinson saddles, you shouldn't need to remove the shim [is it a full pocket shim by the way?]. I set-up my Geddy Lee & KSD 704 Jazzes with very little neck relief [and I think Bernie Goodfellow did too, but don't quote me] so they were almost straight and bizzarely enough, I found this helped with getting the action down. I then got individual string height / intonation sorted to get as low as possible without buzz using the saddle grub screws. I don't mind a bit of clank though! It may help to give the rod a tweak and only use small [1/4-turn as you said] increments [righty-tighty - lefty-loosey]. Some advocate loosening first to check the rod's working before nipping it up. I'm not being patronising, but don't risk your neck if you are unsure. No idea what size it might be though, some f***ed up imperial size knowing Fender... Good luck mush...

Welcome fellow fettler.

It's a Jazz, but you get the idea. Or the anodised up the top... [attachment=14493:DSC00454.JPG]

For fuzz, check out Jared Warren of the band that goes through bassists like Spinal Tap do drummers - The Melvins. Saw 'em last night and he had a stereo rig of Marshall JCM800 bass head into a 4x12 and a GK head into an 8x10 lying on the floor. Nice sunburst Jazz, but I couldn't get near enough the pedalboard to see it, as the bass drum coming out of the subs kept pushing me back. Thank god for ER20's.

You just want to go home for the AC Milan game innit mush?

Have you broken it yet?

Ashdown mate, specifically an ABM EVO II 500w C210T combo would be right up your street. Like [url="http://www.ashdownmusic.com/bass/detail.asp?ID=11"]this[/url], but 2x10 + tweeter. I reckon you could pick one up for about £400. From me.

This man replaces his electrics every year. I can't think why.
