    Similar situ many years ago. D’Addario new string line, I think they were called ‘Half Rounds’. Lots of ‘residue’ left on a cleaning cloth. I reckoned it was micro filings not washed off properly after string grinding. D’Addario would hopefully have the strings back from you for analysis. ..... I should add it was a couple of sets with this problem, one set replaced when I sent the troublesome one back to the USA.

    The LM111 is great amp and I’m sure the CASA is too so it may come down to the visual/size thing between these two amps making you decision. Looks like both are 500watts into 4 ohms, maybe the eq is set/works differently on each of these two amps.

    ..not only but also........I think the latest drum double kick drum 6/8 'paraletic parradumble' exercise that said drummer has practised relentlessly has to show its face on a gig otherwise said drummer will feel they haven't shown it off enough and to hell with what the song is about!

    Louie Bellson and Gil Breines wrote this one up many years ago https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0769233775/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=moderndrumm04-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0769233775&linkId=24c8448d4fd73df04e066c3847c93fd1 I hope the above link copies up okay. It should show the book but from Amazon USA but should be available in England somehow. Although for drums, it’s shows the breakdown of notation, through all the syncopations and triplets. All single note stuff as far as bass guitar is concerned but put a metronome on maybe to help get started deciphering your triplets.

    Any oil should be used sparingly and not too often...my f boards get a clean and light Bore oil maybe twice a year. Over use of any oil can be negative. Personal experience many years ago saw a roadie using it every night resulting in the guitarists graphite nut melting around his strings and my bass f board dulling the tone down and the bridge getting residual oil over it. He stopped after the threat of being sacked! I would hazard frets could also lose their tight seating.

    Bore oil, as used for woodwind instruments like clarinet and oboe, Yamaha is one manufacturer. My double bass repairer of many years ago used it and Istill use it on my macasser ebony f boards, once a year.

    Cheers to you Count Bassy! The days of The Shortlist, wow, many a year ago as the band backing for Roger Chapman. i think Wilbarston Hall was about 6 years ago andI think that venue isn’t holding gigs anymore.

    I can confirm that I am! Always trying to get Buddy over to the U.K. I was hoping for end of this year but many venues book so so far ahead it’s kinda difficult to arrange a decent enough tour for Buddy. We were on the 2017 UK 36 date tour with John Mayall. Lots of new fans off that tour for Buddy so I agree that something more should occur now!

    I took my GS Mini back after a couple of months from new to have the action and one fret buzz sorted so they aren’t exactly perfect out if the box every time. Unless the neck relief/ truss rod is not set up good then it must be a high nut or high bridge needs sorting?

    Break Wind and Fire.......seen many years ago north of England ...did they start it all?

    As an experiment some years ago I once tried pushing a pole piece upwards to be closer to a string to try and gain more volume off that string but the pole piece stopped responding and lost volume. Luckily pushing it back down regained volume so I could only assume maybe I earthed out that pole piece?

    Combo in good condition, all knobs working, a couple of scrapes on the material and a decent enough sound from this 15 watt combo. It’s done its job for me well enough for plugging in a bass and MP3 player to learn songs at home. Ive had it for about eight years, bought as new second hand condition and now replaced with more of an upmarket combo. NE Hants collection. I have a box for anyone wanting to pay to have it couriered and can drop off at local Hermes or maybe another courier shop. Could be under a tenner with this low insurance price for that.

    It may help to say where you are based as there will probably be someone can help quicker if they knew?

    Grip with pliers lengthways down the shaft enough to grip and start moving the rubber and pull upwards. If not then use a stanley or other knife to cut away the rubber. Two screwdrivers, one either side and twist them to start the rubber moving up the shaft.

    Correct about the wire wool..some iPad problems typing all that out. I use Tru oil for body finishing taking up to ten coats. I haven’t used it on a raw wood neck as an oil finish so keep checking on that.
  22. mybass
    Danish oil, applied via a rag and let it soak in a few minutes then a clean rag to clear away excess. Slight roughness might appear after a few plays but fine wire will and maybe a little re application of oil will sort that.

    Sitting in the workspace unused since a neck was taken off some time ago so maybe someone would like it for a project. A nice two piece European ripple ash body currently with a Tru oil finish which is fairly easy to sand back. Curved shape, jazz pickups, maple wood cavity cover, ebony piece in the neck socket, I think raising the neck a tad at some point to help when another Hipshot bridge was in place. Measurements on the vernier gauge are neck slot depth and width. There is a tiny point on the body back where its likely too long a screw was used for a pickup. Body width 12 " ...Body length 19.75" ...Neck slot width at top 60.18mm (close approx) ...Neck slot is slightly angled down from a depth of 15.9mm angles to a drop approx 16.5. I havent figured what post would be...more later if there is any interest.

    I compared the weight of a SM 58 bought from a high profile shop and the actual weight shown for that mic on Shures own website. My mic didn’t match the website weight yet the mic performs as well as another sm58. Different components, metals, who knows but even calling Shure did not clarify this.
