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.

Does it have a PU selector switch? There are a couple of wiring diagrams in the link below. In the neck only or bridge only position the other tone circuit should be isolated.There may be some interaction in mix if both vols are high. Maybe your wiring is different? There are only two models shown . There used to be a mega pdf with almost every schematic known to man, but I can't find it now. Think it was a German website. http://www.hagstrom.org.uk/Schematics/HagstromSchematics.htm

The Definitive Guide To The Doctor Who Theme Music. https://www.dwtheme.com/ There is a menu on the page top left, I had to hit page refresh to replay some of the embedded samples on Firefox browser, of course the bass parts are the coolest. It is good that Delia Derbyshire finally got credit for this creation.

P was my first bass. Can't play a J, not sure why, P is easier.

I used an ultrasonic cleaner, same result. Once had a set boil dry, never again! Ruined Mrs P's best saucepan.

Might have been Stink Foot while playing with Zappa.

Both products are probably the same stuff, can't imagine a slug tape factory and a (higher volume) EMI shielding tape factory.
