[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Just had a thought maybe the pick up is a touch high that side and you get a kind of click or very faint earth pop as you are close to the pup but when playing with a pick or outstretched thumb you are just that bit extra away from the pup for it not to interfere if that makes any kind of sense? I would tray lowering the pickup on that side a touch see if that helps. [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] or you can drop it round mine if you want and I will have a fiddle with it if you want as I have plenty of time on my hands right now [/font][/color]

[/quote] I agree G+L's are really great but there never seems much love for them I don't really know why though

I am guessing there are no pickups or electrics in the bass

Hmmm I cant think of much else could the neck have a slight warp? but I will be honest I am just clutching at straws now sorry I cant be of any more help Sid but I hope you get it sorted mate as a last resort you could pop it into Arrowhead Guitars I have heard good things about him but not used him myself and he charges £20 for a set up might be worth getting him to do a set up then if there is a problem he should spot it and let you know what it is if that helps any?

How about putting a marker on his amp controls where a bouts the Volume should sit might give him a ballpark idea of the volume he needs just use a bit of electrical tape or dry wipe marker so you don't mark his amp

Legacy have no silk ends if I recall and I think they have silver ends

Or maybe it is a dud string? or a worn saddle on the bridge rocking slightly? or as said a bad tuner I cant think of any thing else sorry but I hope you get it sorted mate.

USA bridge and ferrules fitted with Aguilar split singles and im still not gone on it. I think the fact it was with a guitar tech for over a year who really messed me around has taken the love out of this bass for me [/quote] Sounds like that so called tech is a right waste of time ......a whole year and he has achieved nothing I would be well annoyed to I hope he did not charge you shame you just didn't source a neck yourself and whack it on But on the positive side maybe when you have played the bass a bit and got over being peed off you will will love for the bass again

James Lomenzo, IMO he is an awesome bassist but you never really here much about him .

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1391819948' post='2361804'] The metric system is the devil's work, and worse still, is French [/quote] I only learnt about the Metric system at school/work and the Imperial system really throws me out I always have to use a chart to do the conversions

I would say it is the Pup height maybe raise the E on the P bass and the G on the Jazz it is all really a bit of trial and error IMO

Fake I am guessing

Well another loom from John same quality and arrived at light speed perfect what else can I say

Si sorted me out some thin picks and sent them to me FOC what a star and top basschatter
