[quote name='Bassclef' timestamp='1375436206' post='2161165'] Why is it that meat-eaters often resort to "humour" when they encounter a veg*n? Perhaps what we have to say might make you feel a bit uncomfortable so you try to deflect attention away from the real issues? Guys, the jokes are crap and pointless. Please leave it out, we've heard them all before. [/quote] I think humour is resorted to because a lot of people are fed up of hearing tree hugging sandal wearing hippies bang on about save the planet don't eat meat blah blah blah if they didn't try to force there views on people they most likely wouldn't get the piss taken out of them food for thought hmmm

I have a new model Epiphone Thunderbird and there's really no neck dive problem as the come from the factory now with a modified strap pin position and I think they also sound great and look great and I think the red one that's for sale on the forum could be a good buy.

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1375976577' post='2168201'] I know could be a bit of a gamble I may see if I can contact the seller and ask [/quote] I spoke to the seller and it is like the one in the technical drawing so I am going to order one and try it will let you know if it fits when I get it

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1375964728' post='2167964'] If it's like the techy drawing then it will hopefully be fine. But which one is the actual bridge that you would receive?... [/quote] I know could be a bit of a gamble I may see if I can contact the seller and ask

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1375957388' post='2167819'] Again, you've got the extra screws at the front of the bridge plate. Will therefore need drilling. [/quote] I did think that but if you look at the technical drawing it just shows 5 screwholes at the back?

Hi Guys can anyone tell me if this will fit onto a Squire VMJ without any drilling etc [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stellah-BB-02-Guitar-Fixed-Bridge/dp/B008JFTL6W"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stellah-BB-02-Guitar-Fixed-Bridge/dp/B008JFTL6W[/url] Looked at this as it gets good reviews and is cheap thanks in advance

I think with the combination of Royal mail and ebays greediness I dont think it is worth selling anything on ebay now if your a small private seller by the time you've sold a few little things you don't really make anything much and have the hassle of wrapping and packaging then getting to the post office blah blah blah I also think the cost of postage messes up a lot of sales as sometimes when you buy second hand stuff not just on ebay but anywhere by the time you put postage on it can be cheaper to buy a new item from the shop with free P+P than a used item 9 times out of 10 bloody robbing Royal mail,

[quote name='Si600' timestamp='1375705778' post='2164469'] I've got an effects power question, can you run a 9v 500ma unit from a 9v 300ma supply? Both the Zoom B3 and MS60B are 500ma but my board supply only has options for 100 or 300ma. [/quote] Why not use the zooms own power supply ? or buy individual power units there not to dear on ebay better than messing things up by underpowering them.

I had this problem with mine I took it to my local luthier and he sorted it out I dunno what he did but it was so worth the 30 quid he charged it is fantastic now no buzz and a fantastic low action.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1375604116' post='2163233'] I've used the Gotoh 201 on my P bass thats for sale on here. Really good bridge and I feel, much more pleasing to look at than the Badass and a lot cheaper. They come up on Ebay fairly regularly, normally go for between £20-£30. So, how are getting on with the Jazz? [/quote] Thanks for the help guys I am getting on with the jazz OK thanks Gary I have only played it for 5 minutes here and there and it feels good but will take a bit of getting used to as I have always been a P bass man but yeah I like it thanks and as you can tell from this thread I am thinking of "pimping it up" to my personal taste but there's not really much to do I am surprised how good the Squire bass is I think all I will change is the bridge the strings and the pups at some time in the future. or I might save my penny's and get a Geddy Lee jazz bass lol but we shall see what happens.

Hi mate I am not sure about the price but if this helps there are a few fretless Squire basses on ebay at the moment that look a bit Jaco-ish priced just under 200 quid

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1375597286' post='2163193'] It will fit - but you would have to drill 2 new holes for the extra screws at the 'front' of the bridge. Plenty others fit with the original 5 screws, the Gotohs are good but personally I would look for a standard 5 hole fitting. Cheerz, John [/quote] Why thankyou kind sir

[size=4]Hi all I was wondering if this bridge would go straight onto a Squire vintage modified jazz bass [/size] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gotoh-Japan-203-Bass-Bridge-Chrome-203B-4-/271251444228?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3f27d89204"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gotoh-Japan-203-Bass-Bridge-Chrome-203B-4-/271251444228?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item3f27d89204[/url] If not can anyone suggest any other bridges that will fit straight on and make a good upgrade please? and also when the new bridge is fitted do you have to tweak anything on the bass or do you just fit the bridge and restring it? Thanks in advance guys

Just sold Mike a tug bar I bought 2 off here and only needed 1 so let Mike have the other, Mike is a really great guy and a great basschatter Mike has also made me jealous as I see he now owns a Geddy jazz bass lol but hes still a top bloke

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1375516349' post='2162378'] Wizard 64's and 84's get good reviews here and at £42 are cheaper than the SD's but i don't think they are as hot output as the quarter pounders, although i could be wrong. Wizards are 11.5 K Ohms, SD quarter pounders are 13.9 and 14.6 K ohms, so deffo hotter outputs [url="http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/moreinfo.asp?id=43"]http://www.wizardpic...einfo.asp?id=43[/url] [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/comparetones"]http://www.seymourdu...om/comparetones[/url] I use the quarter pounders on my JV P/J and its certainly got more output than my jazz with fender pups, not necessarily a better tone, but hotter. [/quote] Hmmm that is food for thought any other pups worth looking at that are similar to the quarter pounders? The Wizard Hammers look interesting.

I bought some Tugbars from Lozz and he posted them super fast and they are immaculate a top basschatter I would buy from Lozz again without hesitation a pleasure to do business with Thanks Paul

This thread also interests myself I looked into the wizard pickups I think they are supposed to give a growly thump anyone tried these? as they seem good value at about half the price of Seymour Duncan quarter pounders.
