[quote name='bagsieblue' timestamp='1412888129' post='2573111'] All correct fella's - I''m using a laptop ALL my working day (with current employers for almost 12 months). Went to the Doctors yesterday. Honestly speaking - I've been ignoring / managing the symptoms for at least a couple of years. As a male - going to the Doctors is an achievement - I really had to convince him that I've been living with this for a couple of years and self managing the symptoms, it's not that I woke up earlier this week thinking "my wrists are a bit sore". I've ordered a separate keyboard to be able to sit in a more neutral position. [/quote] -
[quote name='Weststarx' timestamp='1412931296' post='2573343'] I've noticed quite a few positive posts on this forum about Peavey basses. Not played one myself but from general opinion on here they seem to sound pretty decent! [/quote] I've got one and they are quality. Grinds are good

Wasn't there a westone that came with two necks back in the late 80s ?

Thinking of getting a thumper pickup after talking to dave Walshe

Happy with the zoom b2.1 I mostly use the amp sims and the compressor and also the drum patterns for jamming -
Roscoe beck did a very good blues tuition dvd that went through this sort of thing

Nice ! -
Like the look of the strat with custom wood and paint options

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1412758592' post='2571607'] I would. When it comes to British cars of the 60s my rose coloured glasses are firmly put away in a drawer. [/quote] I've had one - it was a money pit

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1412720917' post='2571462'] Don't give up, stay out there, look at all opportunities not just the perfect opportunities.Above all be prepared when something comes up. Blue [/quote] See, this is what I think Americans do well. Not saying there aren't Brits like this too but it's the cultural outlook that I think they get right

Suggest you update thread title ?

Perfectly adequate with a nice feel of solidity

They save money by not supplying the hard case and not rolling the edges of the fingerboard. I think the plates are a bit cheaper too but it's nothing major in terms of difference.

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1412516322' post='2569493'] I've heard quite a few stories about Squire from various people over the years; not one of them has been positive. [/quote] Yes are playing venues like westcliffe on sea pavilion nowadays aren't they ? Hmmm
-
Organiser tells me the next one is oct 25th, and guitard willing to do duet so I have a firm date
-
Necks don't have rolled edges but that's easy to do yourself - everything else is just fine

Went to one last night - was a first timer More a social event for the church with people doing turns. A pro guitard offered to play a tune with me (which was nice of him but also quite nerve wracking) - my unexpected arrival meant they'd scheduled me in for 11, this was after my child induced curfew do couldn't do it. Next time ..., guitard suggested "that's alright mama" and a run though at some point before He said it's better to be prepared if you're a first timer - but I had my relic p bass and I felt ready to take on the world. Mixed feelings about not playing and so not breaking my duck

[quote name='Aero71' timestamp='1411809338' post='2562933'] One more bump... thinking about withdrawing... because I might regret selling this... [/quote] Second thoughts are often worth listening to, regrets last a long time

[quote name='Angel' timestamp='1412346331' post='2568095'] As mentioned, I used 'liquid masking fluid' (available from art shops). I 'painted' the areas that I wanted showing as wood using a small brush. It's done fairly quickly as the stuff dries onto the brush pretty sharpish! You then spray the body, and lacquer it, and when it is all dry, you rub vigorously over the masked bits with the palm of your hand and it rubs off. This leaves a nice 'rough' edge. Looks best if you darken the wood afterwards. [/quote] Could you use nitromors in the same way ? You should think about doing this on a pro basis Do you mean like Humbrol maskol ?
-
Like it How did you get the jagged effect on the painted edge below the controls ?

Ask a moderator to lock the thread perhaps ? -

Surely "les pics" ? Have a poor French grammar bump -
This is a tracing using a biro http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/bridge%20cover/6357648C-BA98-4C0D-812B-7442929165E0_zpsp9psgdx7.jpg The imperial measurements come from a listing for a fender part, the metric numbers shown alongside are the rough conversions. The arrows on the tracing are measured with a ruler on the tracing so off by a smidge from the metric equivalents shown bottom right. Allowing for a small creeping margin of error they are virtually identical to the fender part so yes I do think it would fit a jazz pass

Why do effects pedals drain the battery when bypassed?

Why not buy a daisy chain power adaptor then you can just switch off at the wall -
no, its way too big for that. Look at where the holes are.
