Didn't Alembic mount an xlr for 12v power to the preamp? That would work for the lighter ^_^

A nap.

Old Wave of British Heavy Metal?

Have you tried gunstock oil & gunstock wax like EB recommends? Otherwise there might be a real issue with the neck, in which case you'd best contact an EB Musicman stockist or the distributor for the UK.

I can't imagine a laquer finish affecting stability on a neck.

[quote name='UglyDog' timestamp='1398368947' post='2433520'] For my money, this is loads better than the 'proper' version. Suddenly it's a bittersweet ballad rather than slightly clichéd C&W. And the harmonies in the chorus sound glorious at this speed too. See what you think. http://youtu.be/doz1QJ7LwjA [/quote] That's not Dolly, that's Roy Orbison! Funnily the reverse is true for sir Tom Jones. Play his 33.33 album at 45 rpm and you have Dolly singing Delilah! I don't care for all those other Jolenes much.

This is just Deap Vally with none of the girl parts. They should merge!

So this will be the poor man's warwick?

[quote name='Deedee' timestamp='1398120956' post='2430760'] That'd explain it then. What's the thinking/reason for it being different then? (Sorry, I guess you don't work for ernie ball) [/quote] I remember reading on the EB forum that on a 2eq one is cut/boost and the other is cut only. They affect each other a bit too. Not sure now but I think the bass is cut/boost and treble is cut only, that would make the most sense anyway

1 or 2 steps heavier won't be a problem. Maybe not go to low F#.

Centre is not neutral for a 2eq anyway

Cheers, I agree ^_^ Sorry for the phone pictures, best I can do atm.

Most cobblers will have one in the workshop, see if there is one near you.

I took Ernie Ball's advice and use birchwood casey gunstock oil on the maple fretboard and neck. Then I finish the neck with gunstock wax for a silky feel. About 8 thick layers built up on the fretboard with light steelwool buffing in between for a near-laquer coating, two layers each of the oil and wax on the neck. The bass is a '96 SR5, mine for 2.5 years now.

[quote name='Diablo' timestamp='1398026147' post='2429723'] Compressed air may help, at 100psi it will shift any dust but not require a week to dry afterwards! Just don't use an airline with an inline oiler in or you will have machine tool oil spots on your nice clean bass body. [/quote] This. And you can use painters tape as sticky cloth. Press it down once on a towel or some felt to make it low-tack, if required.

You could easily start a topic on strap fails if you want. I have had straps come off mid-gig before I used straplocks.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1397934209' post='2428841'] I don't use Loctite or anything but I do regularly do a finger-tight check and if it's loosening then get the spanner out. [/quote] Exactly.

When im pain, seek medical advice. The internet doesn't know you like your physician does.
