At least someone got it then. 😁

D'Addario Chrome's? Out of the 'bright' flats they are about the stiffest I think. Ernie Ball Colbalts are brighter but lower tension. I've personally settled on D'Addario half rounds as my go to string for that brighter sound but still retaining a high tension, smooth feel. Maybe worth consideration.

If I was going to source some original Hofner ones for mine you could've had my Schallers. I've realised though that the holes have been enlarged to fit the Schallers so no going back to original now without extra work. Hofner used Schaller parts when they ran out of stuff as Schaller was literally down the road so they're kind of fitting anyway. I'm not sure about mixing colours of hardware, if anything will work though I'd say the tuners might as they're on a separate part of the bass, hard to say without seeing a mock up though. Also on the pickup front, does it matter that the pickups are too wide? Presumably they'll be sat in cavities so the raised centre section of body is largely irrelevant, isn't it?

Who did that? Someone just picked the entire thread up and dropped it in the 'Build Diaries' section. It could've landed on someone! 😁 It was getting a bit in depth wasn't it? I'll consider it a promotion. 🙂👍

Police Car - The Members

I've never heard of that chord. 🙄 🙂

I bought my wife tickets for The Eagles at Wembley last August, it's been rescheduled for this August but I doubt that'll happen either. It looks like this will have to suffice for now.

Welcome aboard 😁

This times, well, a lot 😁. So many people assume they can only paint over the bare wood and get into a world of needless work trying to achieve it. The best surface to paint over is a good condition paint surface. If you take it back to bare wood then you need to grain/pore fill and then get a layer of sanding sealer or primer on there to enable you to flat (sand) it back to a smooth surface ready for paint. Quite often you will need to repeat the primer process before you end up with a nice smooth, level surface. All that work to get back to where you started, minus the shine. Also along the way, unless very disciplined, you can introduce unevenness into the surface of the body. Once painted this will show up as a wobbly finish in the shine, leading to even more work to flat and polish. If your finish now is good then just take the shine off with some scotchbrite or 800-1000 grit wet'n'dry used wet. It really doesn't need scratching up a lot or again, you'll just be making work for yourself to overcome those scratches in your finish. If you have any dents or scratches they can be filled with a suitable filler and then those areas will need a coat of primer to stop them showing through your finished paint. Car stopper, which is a very fine filler, rather than wood filler is best as you're not repairing wood now, just a paint surface. You can prime the whole body if you want but you don't need to, just the repairs. Let the primer dry and flat that down with the wet'n'dry. You can paint straight over the primer after it's flashed off (what they call wet on wet painting) but there's a chance the repair will be visible in the paint finish. The only reason to completely remove the finish is if you plan on relicing and don't want the original colour showing through, if you're worried about chipping it and seeing the original colour, or if the finish is just in too bad a condition to work with. If you do want to removed the colour it's possible to sand the colour coat off and leave the original sanding sealer coat intact. Use a block to do this or you will rub through in patches. It's hard work though. If you want any specific info then feel free to PM me and I can walk you through the process as you do it. 🙂👍

How did the seat saga end up? The last I remember the driver unit had cooked itself. Was the idea persued or shelved?

Somebody To Love - Queen

Ooh that's interesting. I'd imagined it to be a solid block, kind of like a neck through without the wings. 🙂👍

I think we just need time to get used to the new system. I'm not certain because I haven't had the need to buy anything yet, but isn't it below £135 the seller lists item 'including VAT' which they collect, over £135 they list it as 'plus VAT' which the courier will collect and charge a fee for. Aren't all VAT applicable items over the threshold sold as 'plus VAT'?
