You can order the same thing much cheaper through aliexpress. I was going to get a Steinberger copy and do a relic sunburst on it just for irony

Yes they come up on eBay and here quite frequently I had an ibanez sr595 and I just didn't get on with it

What do you do for a living then ? I'm now hugely curious

I use a zoom b2 into a little MP3 amp off amazon "aroma" Has small speaker too so I can play along in a quiet room at OM nights If you have an iPhone or iPad then tonestack app is worth a look too

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1463495362' post='3051788'] There were a couple of years in the 80s that I thought were OK, all the rest of it has been sh*t. The 21st century so far has been the worst of all of it & there's no sign of it getting any better. Looking forward to death quite honestly.

Isn't this off topic?

[quote name='4stringslow' timestamp='1462910508' post='3046939'] Good answer, because after the basics are covered why does the issue of justification even arise? [/quote] This

you jammy jammy jammy bar stewards My basses live in their bags in a corner of the kitchen and my zoom lives in a cupboard. ** But we are moving soon and there should be a bedroom free.... **in the style of Life of Brian

I have a tanglewood odyssey with an artec apc pro. Previous owner fitted a battery box on upper bout. I chased and found a fault in the junction block that joined the battery box The preamp still doesn't work (I'm pushing the batt check button and it doesn't light up, new 9v batt checked with a multimeter Does anyone have one or experience of one ? Do I need to plug in a lead to get it to work? Do they "burn"?

I would get a multimeter and check each piece wire for continuity

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1462953693' post='3047139'] Might give "Groove is in the heart" a try [/quote] Other musos spot it and join in. Make you miss first eighth note of second bar, held from first bar

At the OM night(I'm the only bass player in the village) I usually sound check with Groove is in the heart - even the old folk ft start nodding

[quote name='ProfJames' timestamp='1462823749' post='3046080'] I am not long into learning and I want to do the right thing by my basses. Will try the washers first. A strap for each bass as well, Thanks all...... [/quote] You can buy a bag of ten, five pairs off aliexpress for peanuts, they work perfectly

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1443106590' post='2872277'] The 50s CVP has a different pup to the 60's CVP. [/quote] And a rounded shape so he cant rest thumb on it is how I read it

I've had exactly this one and regret selling it

Mine doesn't neck dive either

Burn the heretic !

[quote name='operative451' timestamp='1462128407' post='3040510'] BTW - is your first language German by any chance? I ask because it can seem blunt directly translated to English; so 'obviously' in the way you used it sounds like 'yes, any idiot could have worked that out'. I'm not actually sure what the 'proper' English would be as i for some reason still use slang like 'totally!' for that kind of phrase. I guess, 'so it is' or 'of course!' Would work?

Actually wd40 works on most sticker glue, if not, try white spirit

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1461580930' post='3035774'] Carmine Rojas ... Carmine Appice ... Marco Mendoza ... what's in a name? [/quote] A world of misunderstanding and confusion?

Was thinking of Marco Mendoza I now realise
