Steve Browning

I think the idea is that, according to Fender, that's set the wrong way round. The adjustment is supposed to be back from the thinner string above (or below) by the gauge of the string. "Now adjust the distance of the second-string saddle back from the first saddle, using the gauge of the second string as a measurement. For example, If the second string is .011" (0.3 mm), you would move the second-string saddle back .011" (0.3 mm) from the first saddle. Move the third saddle back from the second saddle using the gauge of the third string as a measurement. The fourth-string saddle should be set parallel with the second-string saddle. Proceed with the fifth and sixth saddles with the same method used for strings two and three." That's not saying yours isn't perfect but your set-up is contrary to the advice.

... or making love to a beautiful woman, perhaps?

I think that's probably true in most cases. An isolated bass track sounds nothing like the final, mixed, product.

Maybe they're trying to move to your area on the cheap. 🙂

Cocktail sticks? I thought they were for cleaning your teeth!!

Filling and redrilling? I thought that was what matchsticks were for!!

I am too conscious of the damage I could do by getting it wrong (however easy others find it).

So that's two things we disagree about then. 🙂

Impressive. I guess you are capable of designing and building all your own amps and loudspeakers?

I have always shied away from doing anything (lack of confidence) but I invested in the Fender Bass Haynes Manual and that enabled me to tackle things. I have used a tech on a couple of occasions since, but certainly tackle things I didn't used to.

Yes. This was in the basement of the Ecuadorian Embassy. 🙂

Mine hasn't, no. John Deacon on Queen 2 from the moment I heard it, to now.

Now you say that ...

Only sit for our acoustic gigs. I usually perch nonchalantly on the amp!

Mind you, at least there's no more kicking myself for missing out on a great looking bitsa.

I'm going to have to wait for the report before I can comment. 🙂

Mainly two basses. They were sold to finance life in general, and they were a bit uncomfortable to play over a period of time (sharp edges cutting into my forearm). 1953 Precision - #0189. 1966 Slab Precision - #137800.

You need to join forces with Bob.

We could be the first band to split up for grammatical differences. 🙂

Do you know I've never heard that before.

There is a guitarist in the midlands by the name Steve Browning. Close to me here is a soundman called Steve Browning. If I can find a drummer with the same name we're set up and ready to go!!

Well, if Sade need a bass player - I'm in.

Usually the carrier will pay that and seek reimbursement before they deliver it.
