fleabag

Only 30 mins later and Lee from ARIA has called me, he's found all the parts, and is sending them to me free, gratis. I'm stunned.

Apart from Govan and Beller, Marco Minnemann is an absolute killer drummist. He's being doing demos for many many years and also played with a stack of other musicians

Took your advice and called ARIA. Didn't know there was an ARIA UK till i had a search, but spoke to Lee and he thinks it's a long shot but they may have screws , allen screws and springs sitting in a dusty corner somewhere, but i shouldnt hold my breath. Bass is 37 years old and they dont keep spares forever, natch. He's calling back later.

Thanks ! I did try and measure the both types of screws, but they came out at weird sizes. The intonation screws were about 2.5mm and the saddle height screws about 2.78mm .....

The Giltar was a special edition. I wouldn't stuff my phone number on an Ebay auction. Just asking for trouble.

I want to refurbish the bridge on my '82 SB but i'm unsure where to look or what sizes / threads the bits are. I need the 8 tiny bridge saddle height adjustment allen screws, 4 springs, 4 intonation adjustment screws, and bridge mount screws. Does anyone know the necessary gauges/ thread sizes i'm after. Also where to track them down ? Thanks a mill PS - i dont need originals. Anything will do as long as its the right sizes

Guthrie Govan has many many Youtube demos outside of the band. He's also played with many many musicians over the years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J503OvHWKko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1-O-juptmY One of my faves is his demo on a Vigier fretless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yshLWYjMijo

Yup, silicone worked very nicely for me.

I know it's too late but Stevie's suggestion of plumbing pipe was pretty close. It;s actually ducting pipe to be precise, and although correct that there's no lip like a dedicated bass port off the shelf, it can be sorted. Screwfix sell 100mm manrose pipe, and they also sell a 100mm joiner. Just cut the joiner off below the lip, and silicone seal that into the pipe and you have a lip. I did this in my DIY build

They're not splits, it's just the form of the headstock.

Ban everything and then the easily offended will be impossible to offend. Job done , and i dont mean in the toilet

Maybe another message saying these tiresome auctions has been done a zillion times already, and is about as dull and funny as a local councillor Richard Head

Just wondering what this is... Activator 2 http://www.guitar-repairs.co.uk/jfet_guitar_preamp.htm

I get metal fatigue as soon as i listen to some

Snake oil

Popular as Assassin says, and also used by Peavey

Just for the record, i use open string and then fret that string at the 12th fret, and not the harmonic.

Does anyone know of a small stand / clamp affair that would be suitable to mount KORG K25 midi conrtroller ? Its only a small 25 key job, 19.5 " x 9" I can only find huge full size keyboard stands, and they're over kill for what i need

The B3 didnt have that problem. I quite like mine

Vivid was a monster. Had it on CD since it came out, and still own it. An absolute keeper.

Very informative description. Excellent bunch of photos

Pedals only draw the milli-amps that they need. Just make sure any power supply can supply the minimum. It wont matter if the the power supply has a bigger milli-amp rating than the pedal needs. If your pedals are 9v, ( either centre neg or centre pos ) then that is the voltage and polarity that the power supply must be rated at.

Stickers would be easier to get in chrome, i would assume, but stickers tend be quite thick, and you're going to have to use a lot of lacquer to hide the ages. Waterslide decals are very thin by comparison ( and easily torn ) but also the edges are easily hidden by lacquer. Not sure if waterslide decals can be made in chrome
