    I was looking for a a part and found a fretless Jazz Bass neck I must've bought a while back, so I decided to go ahead and see if I could make up a bass. I'd like a MIM Jazz body for it, but in the meanwhile I've acquired a fetching purple Squier PJ body to be getting on with... I managed to find most of the required bits in my parts boxes, though I'll probably get a Fender Hi-Mass bridge for it (they seem to work well with a fretless and flats). The J bridge pickup is leftover from putting the neck one onto a Cowpoke bass, so that was fortuitous, and the P is an I'm not sure what, so will have to see. I think I've got a set of knobs for it and probably pots. I'll probably spend this evening bolting the main bits together and will then look at the electronics.

    The cat doesn't reckon much to it...

    Is it over yet?

    For anybody in or who visits Portsmouth and drops in to the Guitar Centre, Steve has had to vacate the premises at Highland Road, Southsea, as it's been sold for redevelopment. It was touch-and-go, but a new location has been found and the store will be moving to Cosham; I'm not sure of the opening date yet. The location is quite good, near the Tesco superstore at the roundabout where the A3 meets the Havant Road and straight-on becomes the A397; alternatively if you're familiar with PMT & Sainsbury's on the Fitzherbert Road, it's back up the hill (A2030), turn left, and less than a mile along. The new address is 25 Spur Road, Cosham PO6 3DY. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Spur+Rd,+Cosham,+Portsmouth+PO6+3DY https://www.facebook.com/GuitarCentreSouthsea

    MIDI-Fiddy!

    🙂 FYI, I've got Spirit 4 & 5-string basses and a 6-string guitar and they seem to balance fine!

    It's a turn of phrase suggesting how to put something right, rather than a suggestion it's literally off-balance.

    Smorgasboard 🙂

    The thing about these basses is that the neck is pushed out about 2 frets further away from your body. I have seen strap button extensions to try and redress the balance.

    MIDIway (or some other joined-up wordplay).

    I’m thinking about a Hakko.

    You have to beware of Draper - there's a cheapo product line and a pro-level one. I'm intending at some point to get a better soldering iron than the one I've had since the 80s; temperature-controlled ones don't seem to be cheap, though!

    Someone might get stung...
  15. prowla
    Yep - I'm pretty sure that must be a slip of the decimal point.

    Squier
  17. prowla
    About half the price of a used Fender - which would you choose?
  18. prowla
    Rickenbacker knobs there?

    Visionary - visual control of MIDI.
  20. prowla
    That works! (There is a MIDI Mate product, however.)
  21. prowla
    I'm not sure I would buy a new bass.
  22. prowla
    Supercontrol
  23. prowla
    That's a nice bass!
  24. prowla
    Seams like it.

    Maybe they've got a wicket sense of humour...
