I think you need to do "The Twelve Step Plan" for bass addiction.

Did you break it? (Looks at avatar).

Yeah, a tiny dot about a third, then 2 thirds along the slot, tap, breaks like glass.

Listen to this man, ignore at your peril.

Get a face melting rig, good pre, massive power amp, light speakers, it will save you a lot of shortness of breath.

f*** Tech, lets Rock 'n' Roll.

Gorgeous.

Good result, briliant idea to swap the pups. Well done. PS, you look a lot younger than I thought.

He was a little later than the renaissance.[/quote]Sorry for being a little mischievous but it tickles me when I hear the name David Caravaggio, from The English Paitient, it reminds me of Dean Tavoularis, from The League Of Gentlemen, don't ask me why though.

Well, doesn't Jack Cassidy own number 1? I have a mag here from 1986, with a Robert Fripp interview and he has a prototype Alembic, there is a pic too, I'll have to dig it out and post it.

Lovely bit of wood there Rob.

I pull faces when I'm playing and my drummer often calls me a dick. He is not long for the band.

Hi there, good to hear from you.

It was, I slipped and got the sack.

Fretting or plucking hand?

Everytime I listen to him, I need a few minutes to come out of the trance he has sent me into. His music and sounds take me to very beautiful but sometimes solom places.

Could be a bit trickier than that if the nut is curved at the bottom, to mirror the radius of the board (I can't remember if that is the case on early 70's P basses) but with any luck, it will be flat and a straight channel will be left for it. Try using a piece of hard woood, 1" thick, wide enough to be broader than the nut and long enough to tap confidently with a small hammer, lay it flat on the fingerboard and give the end of it a gentle tap, making sure that the end that is pressed against the nut, is dead flush, (I hit one once that wasn't and I cracked the nut in the middle ).

He lifted up the edge of a lawn mower the other day and took the top off his middle finger. He's having it officially taken back to the knuckle this afternoon because the bone wasn't knitting back together.[/quote]That has to be my worst nightmare, losing any parts of my fingers would be devastating. Does he play an instrument?

[quote name='owen' post='518774' date='Jun 19 2009, 07:23 PM']I traded an early Overwater 4 (original shape) in purpleburst for a pair of EMG Jazz pick ups. What was I thinking?[/quote] WHAT?[u][/u]

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='518743' date='Jun 19 2009, 07:02 PM']I bought an Alembic 20th Anniversary in 1989, and it took 2 years to pay of the loan for it at the time. I sold it for a small profit because I needed a good 5-string (I bought a Tobias Classic 5). I still wish I hadn't sold it, but I just couldn't raise the extra funds. I saw one on ebay a few years ago for £1500 and wished I'd bought it now.[/quote]That's harsh mate.
