Gave up after a while, now adjust for playability. Suggested figures don't seem to be ideal. Measure relief at fret 7.

Johnny Winter with Willie McTell's Broke Down Engine. From The Progressive Blues Experiment. Almost the best album I bought in 1970. Most other tracks have Tommy Shannon on bass.

Usually done to reduce costs. Who knew?

I've been staring at that for 5 minutes now, looks like perpetual change.

I contacted the Jockomo guy a few years ago. I asked for rosewood dots so I could cover up the originals and put on new dots where I'd shortened the scale with a capo. He replied "Learn how to play". I later found out he started his business after being asked to play a guitar with no markers. Huh! Jockomo stickers are good btw.

1. Always hold on to an empty case so you can sneak one in. 2. Keep one hanger empty. Rotate the hanging basses for obfuscation, makes it easier to sneak in on NBD.

We all know GAS makes the world go round.

Good old Servisol, I'll never use up my can. Tried to buy lead solder (required for historic gear repairs) from RS 2 years ago, would not sell it unless I was in the trade. Farnell supplied it but have a minimum order surcharge, not sure if RS do.

The city advisers who were paid a lot to set the share price bought shares and sold them the next day.

Like the old Love adage, better to have bought and sold than never bought at all.

No. I think the drummer dropped his sticks.

Last buy was a Jazz, same price everywhere and all dealers now selling the 2022 model (MIM) for £100 more - I guess Fender put their prices up, in the last 12 months I believe, but no surprise considering the economy. A good scheme for lawyers to make a good return on their effort also. The VW Diesel scheme would have been huge - and yes I was in! (but did not blow it on GAS)

Anyone even heard of this or registered? https://pogustgoodhead.com/fender-consumer-claim/

I'm saving my money for Christmas with Cliff - Out now! 19 years has been a long wait.

Agree. And the matching pick and socks is so cool.

To resurrect an old thread, yes loads of Behringer Eurorack (Moog modular copies) modules out. If you put their Model D in there, that's when you realise there is no CV out available on the D. And no S trigger out, but the Model D gate inputs appear to output active high gate out signals! Strange. (you can hack into CV out on the back of the circuit board at the 1V/octave test point)

The tree wasn't.

I read somewhere that Jameson's bass was low in the mix, else it made the pickup arm jump out of the vinyl track. Odd since pickups back then weighed about half a ton.

There is an 85% rule out now. If you don't achieve at least 85% success, you are not trying hard enough to progress. Not sure how to interpret and measure this, but for me I suppose If I try to play a B7 chord on guitar, I need at least 85% success.

Same here. Bahco electronics side cutters, used the same pair for 25+ years, made in Sweden, still as sharp as hell. Also cuts through the toughest toe nails.

A bit more history, I believe Squier made the strings for Leo's first P.

I used to get those every winter, very painful. When I took up the bass the problem mostly went, split never worked past the hard calluses on 6 of my fingers! Though my hands have an much easier life punching a computer keyboard. I found Lotil (from boots) to help (mostlly to reduce pain) but did not apply too frequently as it softened calluses.

But are they often laminated so more stable? Only ever had a Fender P go mental with mental weather, a small truss tweak fixed it.

That is the weirdest wiring diagram I've seen! Would expect the (busy) switch to drop out the tone which is not required but they both seem to be always in circuit, the switch only selects the PU hot wires. There is something odd, there seems to be no hot connection to the neck volume. It is marked White like the bridge vol, but nothing connects to it. - I think there is a missing connection on the drawing. The Blue loom has 4 wires coming from the switch, but only 3 going to the Volumes, (2 to vol grounds and 1 to Bridge vol hot), I presume this is only an error on the drawing. But both tones seem to be always in circuit. Never understood why 2 tones are needed on a passive bass, active I can understand.
