Darren bought my MXR M80+ today. No muss, no fuss. Nice guy; deal with confidence.

And it's gone to a new home.

I don't have any experience of the lazy pots, but I know that Tech21 have super customer service (I've had very quick and thorough help from them). Drop them an email, I'm sure they'll get straight back to you with advice.

Price drop bump.

That looks grand; congrats.

Hard to get a feel for the size, but I'm guessing it's wee.

In a moment of madness I made this. Modelled by my son.

Sorry to get OT, but Neck Bend & Fretboard Grime is a great name for a band

I had a recent, similar experience with Nordy regrading recommended pickup height; top rate! I've also had super customer service from DiMarzio, Tech 21 and Phil Jones in the past. Some companies just 'get it'.

Three guitars sounds like a lot going on in the same sonic space to me...
[/quote]This. One of you is going to have to use a different kind of tone and I reckon clean and cutting (maybe a hint of drive) will do the job. Too much gain sounds like fun soloed, but often turns to mush in an ensemble. Best guitar for cutting through? As much as I love P90s (and I do, a lot!), it has to be a Telecaster.

I am sure Dave has multiple options
[/quote]And all totally pukka!

Done. Picking my first 2 was easy, the last one, not so much. Good work chaps!

Mr Swift using a Roscoe Beck V? The last I saw in a magazine he was sporting a Sadowsky 5 string P type in an Aguilar ad.

The more we use it, the bigger it will become. Or, to paraphrase Field of Dreams, if we use it, they will come.

Now, I just need to heed my own words

Go to the BassChat homepage, scroll down to the bottom of the list of forums and, lo and behold, GuitarChat! Still in its infancy, but from small acorns, etc. Remember, many of the members on BC are guitar players too.

I'm off on my holidays in a short while, so in an effort to drum up some interest before I go, I'm reducing the price to a mere [b]£3,500. [/b]This is a sweetener to get things moving before I head off and I may well put it back up if there's still no serious interest.

I'm off on my hols in a short while and would like to see this off to a new home before I go. Therefore, price drop from £80 to £70 for a limited period.

Sahweet! I love the simplicity of it.

None other than Gary Willis says that fingering a fretless beyond the 12th 'fret' should visually be a bit on the flat side (for a lined board). This is, I guess, down to fatness of a fingertip in relation to the space available. FWIW I recently fitted flat wounds to my GWB35 and I could get spot on intonation on the E-G strings (I used a pick edge for precise positioning), but the B string couldn't be intonated totally accurately at all. Some strings are just not quite 'right', just ask Roger Sadowsky (he reckons lots of string are just plain duff). Using dots or lines for position is just fine, but shouldn't be regarded as the be and end all, ears have to be used too.

[/quote]Always nice to see another John Irving fan.

Have you thought about having that p/g engraved, like a Zematis? Something curly and organic to match the overall feel.

both the Hofner and the Steinberger are better options than my suggestion
[/quote]These are sprang to mind when I saw the OP thread title.

6 posts and no one has asked for details about the cab! C'mon BC, you're slipping

Aaaah, holidays. That was my favourite subject in school.
[/quote]Bunking off was mine, who'd've thought I'd end up in education?

Anyway, '63 P Bass needs a new home, someone make me a sensible offer whilst I'm feeling mellow.
