    I didn't get on with my pitch black tuner.

    Glad to hear the pickup height helped. There's always SD Quarter Pounders too (edit, ignore that, huge poles! ) Are your two basses the same scale length? Could it be a tension v's playing style issue? ( so same strings, different response?)
  6. Chiliwailer
    Also, do you trust the tech? Brass nut badly cut perhaps? Schallers are pretty good btw, doubt it's them.

    [quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1462218150' post='3041240'] I tried a different set of the same strings as i always use the same ones, and it's the same with the new ones. I tried the pencil lead but the nut is brass, it doesn't seem to come off when I draw in the slots! When I had the neck made, I asked for hipshot USA as I had the money for those at the time, but the luthier convinced me to go with schallers and I really don't like them at all so I'm a bit gutted that I paid out for them. I would like to change them but can't afford it right now. I should have stuck to what I wanted [/quote] How's the pickup height? So many times I've seen it cause tuning issues when too high. Is the bridge in the right place for the new neck?

    The usual suspects are: Duff strings String windings around the tuning head either crossed over or there's too few winds Pickup too high so the magnets mess with the vibration Nut needs some pencil lead in it Tuners need tightening or the gears have slipped or worn Good luck, should be fixable with some trial and error and perhaps pro help.

    [quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1462134157' post='3040569'] At the expense of hijacking my own thread, does anyone know the demise of Sound Control story? [/quote] Story goes that Royal Bank of Scotland leant them a huge sum of money (I've heard exaggerated claims of 20 million). SC wasn't too well though, spread themselves thin and lost a lot of money from the London flagship store on Oxford Street, it bled money from day one. Then one day, as banks do, they called in the money. Game over. So I was told by a few people in the industry anyway, who knows what else was going on behind the scenes, I wouldn't want to speculate.

    +1 for MXR Micro Amp. The custom shop version has great tone controls, very sensitive should you need them.

    [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1462128647' post='3040511'] That won't work. It was so long ago I barely remember schools existed. [/quote] Phew, glad you clarified that in the second sentence because my eyes popped out after I read "that won't work" !

    [quote name='thebuckets' timestamp='1462126903' post='3040490'] I thought these were nitro and I would expect it to wear rather than chip/flake. [/quote] Nitro is generally a softer less durable finish, so will chip and flake much easier than poly if it takes a knock. You're right in that it will wear quicker from friction than poly, but can chip too. Nice bass to blow all your cash on

    [quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1462127585' post='3040498'] Me too. Desperately trying not to think how good my Foundation 5 would sound sporting these. [/quote] I think old ugly school teachers from your youth is the technique you may be looking for?

    Surprised these are still here

    [quote name='jonnywillmott' timestamp='1462051649' post='3039999'] ill have this! [/quote] Sorry mate, had already agreed to sell it to a fella and he paid late last night so it's now sold

    I've had these briefly on a couple of Precisions, but I'm better suited to bright flats so they didn't stay on for very long at all. The strings have hardly been played in but the ends are frayed from coming on and off, and the bridge end shows where they have been on a regular bridge and through body bridge. Great strings though, and the lighter gauge makes for less tension. £20 including My Hermes postage.

    [quote name='Christian Houmann' timestamp='1462002756' post='3039413'] Do you remember the guage? Is the C string also Thomastik? And will you ship to Denmark [/quote] Hi, they are the regular thomastik gauge, they only do one on flats. I'll check out postage this afternoon and PM you. The high C is also thomastik. Cheers.

    [quote name='adriansmith247' timestamp='1461955051' post='3039161'] These are lovely strings. I just put a set on my 5 string otherwise I would take them. Bargain too! [/quote] Cheers Adrian, I'm a big fan too, got them on my P Bass and Stingray 5

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1461946218' post='3039046'] This is actually not a bad thing for bass, if you want to just balance your output across the strings a tad and add a little punch... [/quote] Well, Gilmour did play most of the best bass parts! Cheers

    I bought this in 1999, it was second hand then and belonged to Adrian Legg, (his name is written on it but is very faded now). Warm pedal, as used by Gilmour at one point. I've sold all my electric guitar gear, no point keeping this now. £30 posted My Hermes [URL=http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/chiliwailer/media/Bits/image_zpsfqjxhb6z.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah227/chiliwailer/Bits/image_zpsfqjxhb6z.jpeg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/chiliwailer/media/Bits/image_zpsx77lxo9t.jpeg.html][IMG]http://i1381.photobucket.com/albums/ah227/chiliwailer/Bits/image_zpsx77lxo9t.jpeg[/IMG][/URL]

    Selling my old faithful tuner, we've had some great times over the years and this pedal would have some stories to tell if it could. But for the past year or two it's been in the drawer, waiting to get back on stage. Battered, but Boss, so will last the next millennia. Price includes My Hermes shipping.
