Truss Rod broken on 70s "Wheel of Fortune" neck
Thunderbird replied to Grangur's topic in Repairs and Technical
[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1395353161' post='2401607'] Nice video. You've got me wondering now if I bought the wrong saw. The thing is I want/need one that will cut down the neck, through the first fret, so I need to have a wide-ish blade. I also don't want to get into the £60+ price bracket, because I don't imagine I'm going to be doing this very often. At least, I hope not. Thanks for the good wishes [/quote] I am sure the one you bought will be just fine and dont forget the guy demonstrating on the video is a bespoke furniture maker so he will be a little anal about the saws but yours looks just fine -

This thread made me laugh when I saw it as funnily enough I was saying to KIOgan earlier that I should take up this or the recorder as it would be cheaper than fiddling about with basses lol

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1395295622' post='2400709'] Japanese saw ordered yesterday. Hopefully, if it's here at the weekend I'll see if I can part off the first fret of the FB and see what's gone on in there. This is what I've got coming: [url="http://www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+woodworking-hand-tools-saws-ryoba-saws-ryoba-compact+jp1015"]http://www.rutlands....-compact+jp1015[/url] [/quote] Bugger me £25 quid for a saw lol but joking aside I do hope you get it sorted those saws do look good though [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0sI3VUeNyk"]www.youtube....h?v=q0sI3VUeNyk[/url] -

[quote name='EmmettC' timestamp='1395250532' post='2400254'] Sounds like it could be a problem with the pickup earth, if the noise stops when you earth the pups off another metal part. If you replace your hand with a wire and run an earth from the pickup to the back of a pot it might cure it. Though I might be totally wrong, just an idea. [/quote] I did think of that may try it cheers

Hi all I am having trouble with my bass being noisy I have just put a new wiring loom in it and re-shielded the cavities but I am getting like an annoying buzzy sound thet is really loud if I touch the pick ups which at first I thought was an earthing issue so I changed the bridge ground wire and I think the grounding is good as when I touch a string or another metal part of the bass at the same time as the pick up poles the noise goes so could my shielding be messing something up as in i touching the pots or jack socket thus causing the noise? thanks in advance

One of the members on here pantherairsoft I think it is builds pedal boards to spec with built in power etc I have never used one or seen one in the flesh but there is a thread on this site somewhere about it I think the company is called the really awesome pedal board co or something like that but they looked like good boards

What's the verdict on this then?
Thunderbird replied to marcus bell's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1394611707' post='2393194'] See I never get this bitsa thing. There was a 70's P on here not long back, probably the worst example of bitsa I've seen. 71 stamped neck, body dated to 76, not original pots or pups yet out at £1200+. To me, that is a bitsa and frankly I would rather spend half that on a modern well made bass that I do not have to worry about provenance/being made a tit off. I do that very well myself. [/quote] Well put I couldn't agree more -
Will give that a try cheers
