Boo hoo  and all that 😩

I am now a supporting member

My chest is puffed out with pride and my nose is inclined upwards

Thanks everybody esp. Ped and the rest of the crew for this fab site

Can one of you lovelies explain how to become a supporting member ?

I no longer appear in the Recently Browsing thingie just below here, since the site revamp, but i can still contribute utter garbage in a thread, much to everybody's delight ☹️

Are you trying to tell me something?

Or do I not exist 💔

Found this method of temporarily fixing a dodgy nut worked well.

Wondering how you poured the glue?

No idea if this is Leon or not. Rocking a nice P bass in the brief occasions you can see him. 
 

 

Looks like the second version of the Ibanez Blazer with the P bass style pickup on this video.

Anybody got a transcription of There It Is ?  Pretty please xxx 😚

Anybody know if it is possible to wire two 9V batteries together to get 18v.

Don't want to buy another power supply if there is a suitable bodge !

There are five days left on this so called auction which started at £400.

Here it is again... eBay item number:164836123964              

Can't wait to see at what figure the bidder below * drops out and the other magic shill boy does likewise.

At which point some lucky eBayer will stand a very good chance of winning a totally unique bitsa.

After all - using a private listing is a completely acceptable way of setting a minimum price and it's so much fun. Why would you not involve your friends?

Or maybe both boys(completely unknown to each other - of course) have been just a tadge greedy and it will end up for auction yet again.

Anybody asked how much it weighs ?  Or if it stinks?

A Mexican neck with matching screw holes to fit that body was sold on Ebay on March 27th for £191.91.

Bought an EHX Soul Food from Steve, very quick delivery, very friendly Basschatter.

Thanks Steve

This sounds like a problem that everybody that owns an electric bass/guitar /mandolin! etc. will eventually encounter.

The typical output jack is an ancient design that works very well until it   err... starts to fail !!

As a first step to fix your problem and before you start changing any components I would try this ...

Remove all the screws on the outer edge of the scratchplate (not the pickup screws)..

Loosen the strings or even take them off the tuners, be careful if you want to put the same strings back on 

Carefully lift up the scratchplate 

Now look at  the output jack 

The long springy part with a "V" shape should make good contact with the tip of the jackplug when plugged in

Try bending that springy part of the output jack in towards the centre of the output jack so it has a stronger physical contact with your guitar lead. Try inserting the lead and see if it now has a more positive connection

That will probably cure it   

Might be worth cleaning the tip of the V shaped bit with some sandpaper or something similar to remove any corrosion

Only have Chordpulse installed now so can't help much with the 4 Chord Songs freebie version   

Sounds like you have found it has a limited chord selection for you ? 

Give the full Chordpulse free 14 day trial a whirl .... got nothing to lose?

Have a look at 

www.chordpulse.com

Which is $29 after a 14 day trial

They also offer a simpler free cut down version called 4 Chord Songs which may be useful

The sounds are a bit cheesy but in the full version (possibly also in the free version) the midi patterns can be exported to a DAW so you could then use your own sounds and replace the drums as you wish

Found it ideal for a quick practise, speed up, slow down and it is so easy to change key

Bought a ThorpyFX Fat General from Paul

Bomb proof packaging and super quick delivery

thanks Paul
