No, as per the quote in your post, you fret the string at the first AND last frets to use the string as a straight line. Then you can see the relief properly.

[quote name='JJTee' timestamp='1469791551' post='3101058'] Who are the 'premier makers' and what determines membership of that 'club'? I am genuinely interested to know, not just stirring. [/quote] The ones that charge a lot of money?

Thanks Bill! You're saying it would run out of puff at LF given too much power? Kind of what I'm finding in small vented cab with bass. It does sound loud and clean with guitar though...

Would an EVM12L work well in a JackLite 12 Bill?

When do the polls close? (Hoping for an unlikely late surge)

I do a similar thing for friends and acquaintances and never charge, though the people I know usually insist on giving me something. Like you, I treat it all as a learning process.

But not the controversial Motown ones? Well there you go.

If it's a tight fit that'll end up nothing like a real fender...

Anyone else notice that all the main vocal misc had some nasty distortion on the top end when the singers were loud and even when Cale was talking before Space Oddity?

Blackwater worked well, I thought, but I agree, Marc Almond was poor in both stints so far.

A 3A fuse is not right for an amp that could draw over 900W. 240V * 3A =730W. I'd go for a 10A fuse as stated above. What is the rating of the internal fuse? My shuttle 6 has a T-5A internally and the max [i]average[/i] power is stated as 400W on the back of the amp.

I've had a few Hohner Jack basses, and have to say, they are one of the most comfortable basses you can wear, really nice contours, balance and weight. The satin finish custom was the one for me.

Suspected it might be!

Is that a nitro finish? It looks lovely and thin.

I had a comment that the words in my tune weren't discernible enough to make out the meaning, so this is more or less what I sang: Air is thin, got a lot of u.v. Drops on my head on my hypo-t (It’s) What I need for my s.a.d. Got to get my D Sun beams down like a sheet of rain Mood lighting lightens then we’re in the game Traces of the dark might still remain, but D gets to work on my bones and brain Hope you don't mind!

Offer still holds if you'd like stainless grub screws for it. MBA *edit - oops, forgot I already sent some!*

You could try using Sugru and make a permanently molded rubbery attachment thing, if there's some part you can mold it around. You're only limited by your imagination with that stuff. It's a moldable, formable silicone rubber that you mold like plasticene but sets in rubbery form. Very neat stuff!

If they are m3 screws (3mm Metric thread) as many Japanese bridges are, I have a load of high quality stainless steel grub screws. I could pop some in the post for you. The are fairly short ones, so they won't poke through the saddle and shred your hands. The also wont ever get rusted into the saddle. Just get someone along to confirm the thread size and PM me your address. Cheers MBA

No, thank YOU! I won't have to have a little cry now for getting no votes on my first go, and it's all thanks to you. I love you man!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1468669664' post='3092518'] I'd very much doubt this... There was quite a slanging match on TB relatively recently... go check it out if you can interested. Might give a few pointers about general standing. And considering a lot of stories--of this type--never make into the public domain, that was quite..indiscreet..?? [/quote] I don't go on Talkbass, would you mind dropping a link in to that thread? Cheers

Re the digital correction plugin, I listened on phones last night, sounded good. On my tiny desktop speakers here at work - still sounds really good. They have hardly any low end, but everything is still there, inasmuch as it is on any recording through these. Might just be the great mixing though, not just the plugin

Thanks for the enrolment in the Hall of Fame. It's a good job it isn't only for people who actually polled any votes! I hadn't realised this thing had been going on since 2012 - I'd always intended to have a try at it. It just goes to demonstrate my ninja procrastination skyllz!

@Skol303 Like that - thought it was going to be the theme from Bergerac at the start. Really nice fretless tone there.

I've often casually wondered what the fret wire Eggle used on their Berlin guitars as the shape feels so nice under the fingers. It's quite wide and not super high, so it feels great sliding up and down the neck.

And he's got a Big One, it's right there, in his sig.
