Sid just re homed one of my tab books he is a really sound guy a gem to deal with deal with confidence

Thanks for all the kind words chaps and a big thanks to Lozz for selling me the bass and doing an awesome set up job on it

How many coats of orange did you have to put on? and are you lacquering over the top of the orange or do you not need too with the B&Q rattle cans? by the way looking good

Every Yamaha bass I have ever tried has been great quality wise I love the look of that bass but there is just too many controls on it for me and for some reason I cant stand 2+2 tuners

[quote name='JamesXP' timestamp='1389037241' post='2329177'] Got most of this down but struggling with the little fills that go all through out the verses... can someone help me out? [/quote] Have you tried Big bass tabs I think there is a few versions of that track on there

I just bought a scratchplate from Matt he sent it really quickly and his communication was great I highly recommend dealing with Matt

Age is only a number and if you can still play and enjoy it then carry on I say and one thing most people dont mention is that the older player has loads to offer a younger player such as experience and can help lead a younger player down the right path

Korg GA-1 for a cheap small tuner or if it is a pedal tuner you want Boss TU-2 or Korg pitchblack

[quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1388308419' post='2320529'] I'm so jealous of the space you guy's have, I'm currently waiting for the drains on my resources to become of age so they can move into a place of their own and give me a room back. They are fifteen, twelve and two so I'm not holding my breath though. [/quote] I feel your pain lol I need a little hiding hole bass den kinda place but alas a long wait mine are 19 10 and 2 mind you the 19 year old is at uni yay

[quote name='winterfire666' timestamp='1388936349' post='2327793'] just stumbled across this, its gotta be worth the asking price, if i was closer.........

I had a cable like this it was fine with my G+L bass but noisy and "poppy" with my Yamaha it is weird took me a while to figure out the lead was my problem

This looks promising [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f18/my-truss-rod-repair-841172/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f18/my-truss-rod-repair-841172/[/url]

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1388934776' post='2327768'] In any case he needs to take it back and make it Fender's problem. He should demand a good replacement bass. When making a bass Fender have a massive stack of necks and an equally massive supply of bodies. All should be virtually identical. I can't believe they can't find a body and neck that work well together without bodging it. If one neck doesn't work, they should change the neck. It's shockingly bad they should let a bass go out needing a shim from day 1. [/quote] All the shop will say is that an unauthorised repair person worked on the bass and broke it which I think would be a bog standard reply I really am trying not to be negative but I just cant see the shop paying out for it and the bass is not new if it is a JV it must be about 25-30 years old anyway hopefully Will can get his luthier to fix it

Oh dear whoops hope you get it sorted but I think the neck is now mullered
