[quote name='acidbass' timestamp='1316103963' post='1374679'] Hi guys, The time has come to make a few minor adjustments to the saddle height on my Squier CV Jazz Bass - however I don't have the correct allen key and will have to order one. Does anyone know what size key (metric or imperial) fits the saddle adjustment on the Classic Vibe Hi-Mass bridge? I have sent an email to Squier but can't imagine they'll reply in a hurry, so thought someone on here might have the answer. Many thanks in advance, Danny [/quote] Did you get hold of one? If not you can borrow one of mine. I have two CV's but neither have the HM bridge on them any more so i dont really need the Allen keys unless i sell the bridges.

[quote name='the boy' timestamp='1316425922' post='1377765'] hi buddy if you measure the exact gap I will knock you up some aluminium shims. I used similar ones to mate a 70s p bass body and a mighty mite neck a few months back and they work a treat. I will make the shims for free if you pay the postage. [/quote] Wow, thanks very much. Once the neck arrives and i get an idea of the gap ill see if i can sort it myself but if not ill get in touch. cheers. @Mr F. Thats another good option, thanks.

I think part of the email problem is that this thread is moving very fast so we are getting a lot more notifications than from a normal slow moving thread. Still not ideal though.

[quote name='BottomEndian' timestamp='1316422147' post='1377697'] EDIT: Great minds and all that, Dave. [/quote] Indeed. Here's a funny thing. I have this page open in both FF6 and IE9 under W7 and IE8 under XP pro. The IE8 and IE9 page's have the Follow topic button in the right place (ie on the right hand side). They also have a "Go to first unread post" hyper link next to the Reply to this topic button. No such option is showing in FF6. Something to get ironed out i think, EDIT: Now the Go to link is showing in FF6.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316421152' post='1377689'] A nice full inbox to wake up to this morning. [/quote] I turn notifications off when i went to bed. I knew what i would find if i didnt. Just as well this thread slowed down over night.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316420379' post='1377673'] I don't think so, no. Someone mentioned about reducing the size using Ctrl+ something if you are really determined. [/quote] Yeah, you can use Ctrl++ or +- to zoom in and out of the pages but its not ideal.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316419046' post='1377656'] OK. I really like it, myself - there's little we can do to change it I'm afraid. [/quote] Its no biggie, something im sure we will all get used to. I think it all looks less cluttered and clearer, its just i seem to be scrolling the page a bit more than i used to. Some forums have skins that allow you to change the font size, i guess we dont have that option.

Cheers Fran. It wasnt something i had thought out properly when i brought it. After seeing your old CVP with the maple neck ive been after the same. If i had gone the MM route i would still need tuners and to pay someone to drill the holes so work would be needed either way. When i saw it was a Lakland i just had to have it. To be honest i would rather get a new body than get rid of the neck but as money is tight i might just see how it goes on the CVP. If the gap isnt too big i think it will be fine once padded out.

Now im back at work on a normal size 4:3 monitor i must admit i dont like the layout. Everything just seems a little too big and too much wasted space. Im sure ill get used to it though.

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316381939' post='1377437'] Nope, just that you won;t have the email box ticked by default. You can still tick whatever you like. [/quote] So this is sounding like its all or nothing. This isn't what it says in the notification email. Is it possible to get the one per visit back?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316381663' post='1377424'] Should be sorted now, I have turned email notification by default off for everything except PMs. ped [/quote] Does this mean we wont get any notification until we log back in to this site?

[quote name='ped' timestamp='1316379291' post='1377345'] Also looks like the adverts are displayed in the wrong place - perhaps a monitor/resolution issue? [/quote] Ped. I think it might be browser related. In IE9 the Follow button is on the right, using compatability mode its on the left and looks like the IE8 screen shots. Just saying.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1316378415' post='1377310'] Doh ..... the button IS there in IE8 for me ... I just forgot to log in on IE8. Sorry for confusing the issue .... [/quote] Funny enough ive just noticed it on the left hand side using IE9 in Compatability mode. Ou7shined, have you looked on the left hand side? Its just above the OP's avatar/thread title on my PC.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1316377888' post='1377295'] I've got the same result. In IE8 (windows XP) the button is missing. Get yourself a decent browser, download chrome [/quote] Ive just managed to recreate this by switching IE9 to compatibility mode so it does seem like its not fully compatible with IE8. On the upside ive got my Force Spell check option back so im going to keep it set like this. One step forward, one step back. i do like the fact that finally we can read what's been posted from the email notifications.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316377318' post='1377274'] ??? [/quote] Now that is strange. I have IE8 at work, ill try it tomorrow unless someone comes up with the answer.

[quote name='Evil Undead' timestamp='1316377047' post='1377266'] Or spell check, or edit my posts properly it seems. Gah. Do not like. [/quote] Ive lost spell checking using IE9. On all other websites i can select "force spell check" but not on this site. Yes, i can spell but my typing is atrocious :-) Heres a strange thing. I had something typed in the fast/quick reply box. I then scrolled up to your post and hit quote and it put you message in the reply box, in front of the text i had already entered. Ive not seen that before. Handy feature.

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1316376086' post='1377234'] I seem to have notifications of someone quoting a post of mine when they didnt. Dunno what thats about ? Is there any way to turn that notification feature off ? [/quote] Yes. Go in to settings/Notifications and you can turn off notifications for when people quote you.

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316376137' post='1377236'] My top right looks like this.... [/quote] Its lower down, next to the Facebook icons

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316375456' post='1377216'] Hmm I don't have that. [/quote] Do you have the unfollow this topic button for this thread? Ive tried it on Chrome, IE8-9 and FF 6, all show the button.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1316374149' post='1377176'] Has it been disclosed how you access the mobile site on non-iPhone smartphones???? [/quote] If your phone is smart it will know how to do it

[quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1316374683' post='1377190']How to subscribe to a thread without actually commenting in it?[/quote] Just click on the Follow this topic at the top right of the page. You will get a few options as to how you follow it, and a notification setting.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1316374696' post='1377191'] That's my preference, yeah. I'd sooner have that than storms of emails. You could tweak that to change some classes of notifications by email. Don't know how you'd do it on a topic-by-topic basis though ? Was that the question you were trying to get answered ? Andy [/quote] It seems to be all or nothing as far as i can see. I did have this trouble before the change over as well IIR.

Cheers Ross. As i work for a printers we have loads of different thickens card lying around. Im hoping it wont be more than 1-2mm but if the worse happens and its like 4-5mm then i think ill need to evaluate if its worth going ahead and paying for work, or keep the neck and try and get a new body for it. Im sure it will be fine, im not too bothered if it looks ugly as my CV is Fiesta red and i hate it lol.

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1316373138' post='1377145'] Dear Mods, I appear to be able to attach images via some forums/threads, but not this one. Why is that ? Attachment (uploaded via another forum) showing how I've set notifications ---> [/quote] Wont those settings just give you a list of notifications in you account area? Ill give them a try anyway, cheers.
