Sounds like you are not going to be taking too much off the nut to be bothering using a sander, and besides, using an electric sander to shave such a small item ( remember you have to hold it as well ) is fraught with the danger of sanding it uneven. For such a quick small job, simply put the nut upside down in a vice. I'd use some wood each side of the nut so you dont mark or crush it too much in the metal jaws. Then use a fine grade flat file and make sure to keep the file square. You'll be much more accurate with a flat file because its slow and takes a very small amount off at a time, unlike a sander. Nuts are not generally permanently glued, unless a previous owner has done that. You could heat up the nut with a heat gun, but be careful on how close you get. You dont want to destroy it. If its a normal nut ( i.e. not been permanently glued ) it should come off ok. In fact many a nut i've removed has not even needed that. Just a gentle tap with a lightweight hammer, and i mean gentle

Try the bass line to Kenny Loggins ' Footloose ' ( original Nathan East bass line ) Not flash, just tasty, but easy to finger (ooer matron ) The non chorus bits are by the by, its just the chorus that tap dances along nicely So the vid is some guy just covering the chorus. Not too keen on his tone, but thats just personal taste For those too hip or young to remember footloose, dont worry about it [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au96KTuGRPo"]https://www.youtube....h?v=Au96KTuGRPo[/url]

With the above feedback who would have thought ? But since this is a feedback thread, the good most go along with the bad message re. my sale: " hang on to it for a week and i'll take it off your hands " Thats sounds serious and pretty final. Would have to deter other potential buyers. And after a week .. "yeah dont need 'em now " Brilliant

Live in Newcastle with Soft Machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WujmIPIEVY

Brilliant Nice to see the most humblest musician on the planet get some air time I've read as many Jonesy interviews as i could over the years, because the bloke is just fascinating, as well as been totally unique. One could pick his playing out from a 50 man bass playing lineup. This guy should have been world / planet famous and rich while he was still with Soft Machine because his unique style a-la- Brand X didnt start with Collins, Goodsall et al. I smiled at the old interview of PJ in his early days of de-fretting a bass only under the G string, ( used i believe on the track Running On Three ) before getting his first fretless P bass with a paltry sum advanced for Brand X's first album. Goodsall apparently bought a fur coat with his paltry sum PJ also built his own ( we call them flangers today ) pedal ( i believe he actually is an electronix wiz ) but it was back in the days of yore, and he had to cool it down with a peltier system. The sound from this thing changed according to how hot it got. It can be heard on early Brand X If ever the word genius could be applied, i'd apply it to that man Have some..

Couldn't be simpler - ta job done !

Sounds reasonable ! If its any help, they came out of a twin pup german Streamer Standard, pre Rockbass streamer.

Just about to slot a pair of the passive MEC ( humbucker size ) pups into my bass, but they have the least amount of wires on a humbucker i've ever seen One white wire surrounded by some braiding . White is hot and braid is ground, presumably ? Seems weird for a humbucker. Of all the hummies i've ever owned, there's always been a pair that needs twisting together ( presumably for series output ? ) plus one hot and one ground Unless of course, despite looking like , and the size of a humbucker, its just a single coil ? arggg...

Paul bought a pedal off me, with payment as quick as you like, and top notch comms. A real trooper 11/10
