I got a €10 voucher for a review a few months back. It was for £300 item. There must be a limit to what they give vouchers for, I've ordered five other item to be sent with the Jazz but they only total £30 together. I'm sure I won't be able to review them in return for a €10 voucher for each one.

Oh that's alright, I'll make use of them. Didn't know if they'd be no name 'el crapos'.

Does anyone know what strings the JB75 (jazz) comes fitted with?

I wanted the lefty for reverse right. Snagged one a couple of days ago. It's patiently waiting in Koln as we speak.

The other thing with fixing them for resale is that, I assume, any cosmetic flaws will be left as is.

I haven't looked but assume they're in Newquay. I have no problem with someone taking their chances on a deko, sorting any problems and selling it on with an honest description of what is. But the seller in Newquay is is being dishonest in my view. I work in the car trade and liken it to 'total loss' vehicles. If repaired properly there is nothing wrong with a written off car but it will never be worth as much as a non total loss. How would you feel buying a car only to discover afterwards that it had been written off.

If a range of bum gripper guitar stands were made, could the Hercules mechanical lever action be utilised to clench the cheeks as your bass neck nuzzled in there?

My understanding is that, all things being equal, the higher the ohms the clearer, more defined the sound should be. But I'm frequently wrong about a whole myriad of things.

I'm using a PJB Suitcase with extension cab, so eight 5" drivers. Keeps up with a loud band, sounds lovely and best of all, I've had no feedback problems since using it which I used to suffer from. Forgot my preamp pedal Friday so didn't have phase reversal or notch filter but no feedback even when the whole band but me were through the PA.

My acoustic 4 string has a raised 17th fret, easy to sort but I've no business being up that end so left it. The pickup is strange on that one as well, the E and G are a lot quieter than the A and D when plugged in, whether that's the problem or just how they all are I don't know. Strange as it's the higher quality one with the Fishman electrics, it's fine acoustically though. Can't complain for £40 I cannot find anything wrong with my fretless acoustic apart from a tiny mark top of the headstock.

Just had an email from 'Claudia', bass and other bits shipped already, only ordered at midnight last night.

Just had the confirmation email

Reverse headstock, just hope it fits the SX P bass I bought. If not I'll have a whole J for sale

I've just ordered the Lh Jazz. Just want the neck for a project so the body could be up for grabs, maybe.

There should be a fire extinguisher nearby that you can use to hold open the fire door.

Fridays gig was like that, tiny doorway at the end of the bar to negotiate with big drunk bloke stood there. When you say excuse me he would just lean forward a bit instead of actually moving, trying to get a doublebass past him without knocking the bridge over was fun. First time I wait for them to move, after that it's a loud cheery "scuse me" as I come barrelling through with the PA. If they're too thick to work it out after the first ask then they will physically feel why they should move. The thing is they are a punter and without punters venues won't want bands, so you have to put up with it.

Why Can't I Be You?

I'll put this in general as I hope the discussion will be as much about the bands as the effects. I've just seen an Akai Unibass on ebay with a buy it now of £210 and saw one a while back with a similarly high price. We all know that prices for the Deep Impact went through the roof due people wanting 'that Muse sound' and it looks like some people are trying cash in on people wanting 'that Royal Blood sound'. Do you think the same could happen and are there any other bands who have manged to popularise a pedal in the way that Muse have?

When a fretted bass starts to sound and feel like a fretless then it's time to clean the fretboard

Moondance - Van Morrison (Bass, John Klingberg) Well someone had to say it.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1439244813' post='2841324'] Maybe he (I assume he) meant it would suit someone who was tired of tedious twiddling and wanted to try something more challenging. Maybe. [/quote] Ever the optimist

Reminds me of a roast chicken Mmmmm........ chicken.

Variax.

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1438272651' post='2833143'] There should be a universal system of signals for sound engineering , much like the aircraft paddle thing [/quote] There is, various amounts of or combinations of fingers, and shuffling hand gestures.

Oh yeah, forgot to add, my fretless acoustic has the side dots in the right place, as in on the 'fret' line, not inbetween.
