That guy, and that band, really bring it (whatever that means). Seriously, I would be well chuffed with myself if I was part of a band that good.

I usually put a tiny blob of lip balm (e.g. Lipsyl) in the nut slots to stop them snagging. Having said that, it does sound like a duff string. Do you use flats by any chance!

Whereabouts are you JJW?

I came to bass with a well-developed pick technique from many years of guitar playing. Eventually I learned a form of alternate finger-picking, then switched to T[url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPVMBPmrblU"]odd Johnson's approach[/url]. These days I only use a pick if it's necessary for the purposes of sound or speed (I can still do steady 1/8s faster with a pick than with fingers).

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1462134562' post='3040575'] I quit a fake band. It had a website, a facebook site, a twitter site, mystery 'band members' (in fact so it had so many 'band members' that I never got to see all of them in the same room together) and it never gigged. It never rehearsed either, which is irritating when you're paying a standing order, every month for 2 years, for a rehearsal room nobody ever rehearses in. [/quote] WTF? Full story!

Alex? Bill?

Also the case is right.

I have a 63 AVRI Precision and all the details in the pics match mine (except the finish - mine is faded Sonic Blue). Mine has picked up one chip on the lower horn from a falling jack plug. There was a Dakota Red example sold through BC last year that had wear similar to the one in the pic. Hope that helps.

Just bought this album yesterday, massive Iggy fan. looking forward to giving it a spin!

Boss pedals use FET switching, operated by a single switch contact. The signal runs through a buffer whether or not the effect is engaged. I would be looking at tracing the signal through that path, and first thing to check would be the wires going between the in and out sockets and the main circuit board. Here's the schematic:

The new centre block Gretsches got very positive reviews in [i]Guitarist[/i] magazine.

I use 3M velcro, 5cm wide, about £10 a roll. It sticks fine to metal or painted surfaces, but a bond to a rubber base will always fail. EDIT: That's 3M the brand.
