  1. I am certain that if the pickups are naff then there are any number of UK winders who could rewind them to our heart's content. Wire is wire and magnets are magnets.
  2. "I have no idea how it got there. It was not me." They do not believe that stuff you know. They know that you are stashing stuff all over the place.
  3. The screw is a #3x3/8" with a countersunk head. Freely available on ebay.
  4. You are clearly scratchplate royalty!
  5. The Roscoe Beck CAR matching headstock haunted me for years. I eventually had a J5 resprayed and have now scratched that itch. I still look at every RB advert that comes up just in case!
  6. The shame of the double post.
  7. Let's face it, we have all been there.
  8. Lukeh, I am afraid both have gone but I have been lax in updating. Sorry.
  9. This is actually the correct answer.
  10. The Aria 5er which has just appeared in thr classifieds.
  11. <checks bass rack - no space> This is the bargain of bargains. Fully loaded and frankly, they have got the aesthetic just right.
  12. Absolutely!
  13. Same. But make that 15 years or more.
  14. This. Just this. This is everything.
  15. BC is now totally conflicted. On the one hand, "well done on achieving a state of UnGAS". On the other hand, "eh?".
  16. I feel your pain. The ONLY thing I do not like about my DB is my machine heads. Of course, my problem is that the ones I have fallen for would be an £800 purchase and then there is fitting. That is never going to happen.
  17. I have no idea if this has been done and I am afraid I do not have the time to wade through 107 pages! But I saw this and thought of this thread. https://retrovibe.co.uk/product/retrovibe-t30-telecaster-bass-30-6-short-scale-surf-blue-stunning/
  18. There are some DEEPLY weird headstocks out there. Someone has to design them. Some look as if they have been done in the dark. Control plates which are wooden. What gives?
  19. Oooooh! Lollipop. 1966 vibes
  20. Deep, thuddy goodness.
  21. I do try and slip Teen Spirit in wherever I can, in whatever playing situation.
  22. Intense!
  23. I can already only hear that as "I sought The Lord, and The Lord won" and I have not even listened to the song.
  24. I thought that was just me with Gorilla Glue.
  25. It is difficult to fight the Physics. I guess that the answer is to be happy to play up an octave or more for when we want the synthy goodness. Obvioulsy this is sub-optimal, but physics is physics, and the reality is that a sound that is not bass guitar needs to be played differently anyway. I would be happy to play a normal guitar in some situations if there was a patch on there that "just" did a good, solid, believable bass guitar sound. Classic self-inducing GAS post from me here. On another note, I think they might have used the synth to pitch Nate's voice down a bit
