I remember there have been a few discussions about a H&S 6-string here, but cant really recall if anyone ended up buying one. dont you want to be our own private ginea pig? even if it is no good, you'll only have spent about £100 and you can always expect to get part of that amount back when you decide to sell it

*cleans sweaty forehead* phew...enough digging already! haha so, ressurecting this thread, did anyone end up buying the strings?

[quote name='simon1964' post='64406' date='Sep 23 2007, 04:36 PM']that looks great as it is - I wouldn't put a pick guard on there at all![/quote] +1

sexy collection you got there I especially like the sting sig with the tort pickguard...looks awesome!

*shivers*

[quote name='Machines' post='61131' date='Sep 16 2007, 01:18 PM']Tell that to Marcus Miller . [b]By the way I don't think the ashtray fits over a BADASS 2.[/b][/quote] fair point...

budget?

wow...where do you live and when are you not at home? that is some great collection...i reckon you could buy a house if you sold all that

sexy!! and cheap..what else can you ask for? was thinking of buying one myself...so if you dont mind me asking - where did you get the pickguard? custom made? (now, I know I shouldnt say this, but) how does it compare to a MIM Fender?

[quote name='lwtait' post='61071' date='Sep 16 2007, 10:43 AM']I love the BADASS on my jazz, you should definatly get one if your thinking of changing the bridge. [b]But personally I think it would look stupid to have a modern look like the BADASS with a retro look of the chrome covers. Just my opinion.[/b][/quote] cover on - no longer a problem

[quote name='bass_ferret' post='60996' date='Sep 15 2007, 10:05 PM']Where do you finds this stuff - google "dodgy basses"?[/quote]

2...I'm always too broke to think about expanding my collection

heard good things about those too...but still haven't had the chance to mess around with one so any specific comments would be me talking out of my ass haha anyway, there's nothing better than trying them both and see which one you like best

It's a great cheap bass. nice price - value ratio. the neck's reasonably slim...its somewhere between a jazz and a precision. I'd go for it...in the end, you might just like it and forget about a high-end bass for a while

[quote name='mikeh' post='46548' date='Aug 16 2007, 06:09 PM']I've said it 100 times before and I'll say it again Fender Rumble 100 1 15" . Far louder than the 100 watts wouls suggest and plenty loud enough for gigs.[/quote] hey...thats always good to know

[quote name='Oxblood' post='46112' date='Aug 15 2007, 11:09 PM']HOLD IT! Before you get heavy with the tools here, are you sure that the jack socket needs replacing at all? Can you clarify what you mean by a "buzzing output jack" ? A buzz can be caused in several ways. I'd check whether the jack socket is the source of the problem before you risk doing any damage by trying to remove it.[/quote] haha no worries there maybe I havent explained myself correctly. the bass plays perfectly...the output jack is just old (and cheap) and doesnt hold the jack properly (so it makes a crackling / buzzing sound) so whenever I move (ie, the jack rotates) it makes all those annoying noises

[quote name='mhuk' post='45512' date='Aug 14 2007, 11:25 PM']Long nosed pliers, insert prongs into jack, expand and turn anti-clockwise? [b]Or drill two small holes 180 degrees apart in the edge of the jack and use a screwdrived/ chisel to "unscrew" it.[/b] Failing that, tap a thread in it, glue a bolt in the newly tapped thread and pull/ unscrew it out [/quote] thats simple...clever...and worked! I feel like an idiot now..haha cheers for your help mhuk and Steve_K

lovely collection especially like that 62 reissue what about the Bach..is it as good as people say?

[quote name='Steve_K' post='45495' date='Aug 14 2007, 10:59 PM']You could see if it's threaded by putting some pliers in/on it and twisting? Could also be glued.[/quote] yup...its no good oh crap...hadnt considered the possibility that it might be glued...but it seems odd...do you know of any basses with a glued output jack?

So, my sad story. Had a problem with a buzzing output jack...so I thought - hey, I only needed to replace the jack, its going to be a quick job. then I took a good look at the jack it may be rather silly, but I cant think of any way to get it out (got no leverage point )...its deep inside the body and I cant see any mounting nuts - its threaded into the wood. I've included some pictures from my crappy camera (sorry about low quality) to help you see the problem...
