Got one of those basses and out the box they are fantastic especially for the price. I didn`t have to adjust anything, it was spot on and the neck is super comfy. I would say it`s the same sort of size as a Fender Player P but for almost half the price!

The Who. A pair of tw*ts!

Update. Got a kit from Amazon for £7 and used the 6.5mm plug cutter and it did the job fine so thanks for all the suggestions.

@Aidan63 I have bought a set of these and they look like they will do the job. Fingers crossed!

Don`t know as it`s in pretty tight. When I was putting the screws in they were a tighter fit than the ones that came out of the original bridge. Ever wish you should just have left the original one on?

I recently bought a badass bridge and whilst fitting it to my Jazz the top of the screw sheared off. It was fault, I maybe tightened it too much whilst fitting. I have looked at various YT vids but has anyone got any experience of removing said screw? It has broken flush with the body so I can`t get a grip. I`m guessing it will need to be plugged after removing but any advice is appreciated.

I still listen to You`re Nicked on YT, brilliant tune and cool video that wasn`t taken down despite you guys reckoning it would be pulled

You can buy it from Thomann brand new delivered for £130 but I have seen other places where they are £180+.

We are playing the Town Hall in Kirriemuir on Saturday, the third and final band on that days events. We have played twice before with the guys doing the sound and know them but it`s the guitarist`s who have no concept of volume who will get it in the ear. And I don`t think there is any chance of clearing the venue for a soundcheck.

I see the Jazz G&L is available again. It`s in great condition as well and weighs in at 9.4 which is good for these.

Your lucky Neep, I was in there last week and spotted it hanging on the wall and if it had been a colour I fancied it was going home with me They also had a mint G&L Jazz in sunburst but I had one at one point and it was a heavy bugger. So unusual for a shop to have 1 G&L never mind 2.

I play in an acdc tribute band with a girl singer. There used to be a few girls doing it but not so much now. This works for us sometimes but you get some Dicks saying that they would never go see a girl singing the songs but the thing is we can do Bon Scott and Brian Johnston material in the original key whereas most tributes stick to Bon as they can`t hit Brian`s notes. I started doing dc tributes in 2012 but now there seems to be loads of them and some of them are crap, they seem to think that as long as you own an SG and a school uniform they are sorted. The key is the drummer and rhythm guitarist who have to be on it and luckily we have that, if you ain`t got them you are buggered. We would like to take it up a notch but the singer has 3 kids under 10 and a full time job so we just do whatever takes our fancy.

Fugazi has always been one of my favourites. Seen them a couple of times in the Fish era, one time a new years eve gig in the Barrowlands when Fish started singing Script form the middle of the crowd! The remastered version of Script from a couple of years back is so much better than the original pressings, really brings out the drums and bass.

The original Mexican basses were great but the one I had weighed as much as a small planet so had to go.

My lot (acdc trib) are playing the Town Hall stage at Bonfest up in Kirriemuir first Saturday in May then after that 3 pub gigs till the end of August so not a lot really.

We have had Evri deliver 5 packages over the last week, problem is they aren`t ours. It`s crap stuff from Temmu. They dump it on the door (it`s a tenement flat) and by the time we get to the door they have legged it. Except for the last one as it was rather a large box and the wife managed to catch him, she gave him some verbal and gave him the parcels back. Some have our address but not our name and others have the wrong name and address. Numpties!

A few weeks back I posted a rambling post about a change of pa for my band which didn`t make much sense to me or those who replied to it . Here is the scenario. AC/DC covers band, lead vocals and 2 backing vocals, loud drummer and 2 Marshall valve amp guitar players. Most times we use supplied pa but we do our own gigs in small/medium pubs, halls etc. At the moment I have 2 x Yamaha DBR 12`s that I have the vocals and a small bit of drum and bass going through. I would like to put more bass and drums through the pa but am reluctant to do this with the current set up. I have seen some bands in my local and they use a sub and it makes a big difference even in a small space. I`m thinking of selling the Yamaha`s and replacing them with a sub and smaller speakers. The issue`s I have are limited storage and transport space and budget, I don`t want to spend thousands on kit I may only use 4 or 5 times a year. I was looking at this set up: RCF 702 AS MK3 sub and Alto TS 408 tops. This all comes in at just over £1200. I will be buying the kit myself so don`t want to go much more than that but may be able to stretch to 10" tops if that would be better. https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/RCF-SUB-702-AS-MK3-12-Active-PA-Subwoofer/5ZG7 https://www.gear4music.com/PA-DJ-and-Lighting/Alto-Professional-TS408-2000-Watt-Active-PA-Speaker/52X8?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1 Or I have a RCF 715 top that I used to use for a bass amp and I could buy another one of these and stick everything through these but I`m not sure if this is the best option.? I have never used a sub before so have zero experience of a sub plus top set up so any advice would be welcome. Edit Just thought of another option. Keep the Yams and just buy the sub and get the others to take a speaker each?

I`m glad I got my £40 refund from Bax a few weeks back, had to start a paypal claim to get them to pay up. No wonder they didn`t have the item in stock.

As long as you buy a decent pa speaker you will be fine. I used a RCF 715 in a rock band and it was never short of bass or volume.

As Lozz says you can`t buy the 59 pickup in the older Mexican MD but I have always had great sound from Tonerider pickups, not a lot of cash and sound great to me.

I know a rock band who play theatres across the UK who have the keyboards on a backing track and the rest of the band have it in their in ears. They have a keyboard "player" on stage who pretends to play though

I just bought one of these (£40 in Toolstation) and when its folded it takes up very little space and is light as a feather. I used it on Saturday night and will be using it from now on.

I recently ordered a stand from them that I couldn`t get anywhere else, they said that it would be in stock in 11 days. A good while later no sign of it, they ignored my e mails asking when it would be in stock and in the end I opened a case with paypal and got my money back. Never again.
