I'm restarting from scratch too, its not an easy road, but I think its more satisfying as I know I have fewer gaps and [i]will[/i] improve. My timing was [b]awful[/b]. I now listen more carefully to records and I "hear" new bass riffs (with the basic drum beats) from nowhere that I never would have thought of before. I cant play them yet, but I'll get there.

apols for the cross post with the amps forum, i didnt realise that Hartke were an affiliate here and figured I may as well ask the experts. I have a hydrive 210c, can I plug head phones into the speaker socket on the back of the amp and use it at low volume instead of the speakers? I know I couldnt do this with a valve amp, but wondered if its okay with a solidstate design? thanks

on a hartke hydrive 210c, there is a 6.5mm plug at the back for the speakers. If i unplug the speaker plug, can I connect headphones instead without destroying something? Obviously I dont want to turn it up to high volume like this.

I don't really get bass gas - I started here with just a vintage stingray copy and then bought a cij jazz off oldgit . Never needed anything else. I have bought lots of books from people here though- I don't have a lot of practice time and reading a lot, and in depth is better than making no progress at all.

I have 3 hercules hangers in a stud wall and they work just fine.I did use bigger screws than those supplied though. I also rotated them so the wooden base was paralel to the stud, not perpendicular to it. If you pull the hanger away from its base, its rotateable

Thanks If yu check my sig you'll see I got 93 as a probable date too. I had thouight this would be simpler- pictutes of what parts ?

I have a '93 62 reissue (3ts, rw) can someone tell me how to tell if its an export or non-export model? Fingerboard edges are not bound btw Gold logo thanks

Twas me with the jazz bass. Even one of the guitar guys came over to look which was quite impressive. Thanks for your time on that, I appreciate it.

Sadly not, but it does prove I'm not completely stupid. You could do a lo fi version quite easily using just css and setting media=handheld (ask laura) I'm a website programmer btw. The lofi version of basschat works well and is very quick

I may be missing something but the media section just seems to contain photos? Site works quite well on a blackberry btw

My cij jazz is still wearing the elixirs it had when I got it from oldgit.they still work well enough for my purposes. My vintage ray copy has new ish rotosounds from bgm mag which seem to be lasting well although I don't gig. I've bought a three pack of hartke strings off the bay so will try those next

Try prometeus (note spelling) I know he makes them. Making me some pickups at the moment

Bass guitar for dummies is worth a read. He's very good at explaining how to work over chords. He's very breif on how to play rhythms jumping straight from quarter notes into a syncopated rhythm. Good section on maintenance Good section on playing styles of music

He sells the pickups loose also...

Yes thanks but his basses are nothing like mine. Anyone tried the pickups in a jazz ?

Preferably with jazz single coils Thanks

There's a whole thread on thid on the repairs forum, my 0.02p is to mention copper foil with conductive adhesive. This reduces the soldering beeded. Use a multimeter set to ohms to make sure that every piece of foil has a near 0 ohm resistance connection to earth

I have the sr16- it can hold several drumkits, but you can't associate them with songs or patterns so switching to the right kit is manual operation. Painful

I can probably come for an hour or so, I would have organised it but can't be there all day to collect the money as I have a partner with a debilitating illness and a small baby.
