    Just completed a transaction involving strings to Poland. In spite of the fact that the postal service over there is on a par with Royal Fail, Immo's communications were great. He's a good man to deal with.

    Can you be sure the inserts are absolutely flush (or even slightly 'inover')? Any minute ridge that cannot even be measured will have an effect on the setup in the same way as a shim.

    Well it's next year now, so........ BUMP.

    You'll be happy to know that's definitely 70s position.

    Just had a meet with WoT and this new addition to the herd. Nice one indeed! Nearly had to take a saw to my wrist once I had a death grip on the thing. Very versatile in the electronics department for a passive circuit and yet every setting provided something useable as opposed to extreme. Finish is mint - looks like it was made yesterday. We pondered over which type of tortoiseshell to use but it's not coming back for that until a couple of more gigs go by. I claim first dibs if it's ever up for sale ..........doubtful .

    [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1325894799' post='1489684'] Yeah, I've seen a pic of that floating about. [/quote] I've seen it in the flesh! - I think he called it 'Old Smoothie'.

    [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1325864347' post='1489045'] what's the craic with the pups? [/quote] Strings in between pole pieces = warm. ( I happen to know Sterling Ball had a Stingray made by Leo in the early days with a 5-string pickup fitted for the same reason)

    OT......They reckon Clark Gable was built like a hoose end....

    I just hope the carrier chaps handle the thing carefully - Sue Ryders can be a bit delicate.

    I'll get back to you eventually pet. I'm just checking the Basschat forum to see if anybody's sussed wateroftyne's new squeeze.

    The lassie in question doesn't seem to have been overly impressed. The bloke is now watching a certain type of programme on the TV and is making use of those 'through' pockets in his suit

    I reckon it's a 7-string Alembic fretless with leds, a built-in iphone and kindle. Not that unusual really.

    Cheers Chris, We did comply with the smoking ban (eventually). Lots of people miss the old place but (semi)retirement beckoned and I must say I'm happier just tinkering in the workshop.

    Bugger, I've only loaned it to WoT and it looks like I won't get it back till next year......

    [quote name='Michaelg' timestamp='1325037229' post='1479399'] do you have any information about the gold symbols? [/quote] Not info as such but I'll bet they're the initials of the original owner. I did something similar with some stick-on initials in silver back in 196blah
  16. The Bass Doc
    Bump. Still got the high-end Fender and Gibson pickups!
  17. The Bass Doc
    You make me want to keep them now. 'Full botttomed'.....'and a very nice top'..... I keep thinking of a girl I once knew.

    [quote name='tommorichards' timestamp='1324666944' post='1476940'] do you have pictures of the dimarzio p copy? Any idea how it sounds? [/quote] Pics here. Sounds? - not quite as pokey as a Dimarzio but typical Precision tone. [attachment=95768:IMGP0535.JPG] [attachment=95767:IMGP0534.JPG] Not clear in the pics I'm afraid but the pole pieces are allen key adjustables. If you want 'the look' I could supply cream covers as an option.

    [quote name='Immo' timestamp='1324668197' post='1476961'] Would you consider shipping the strings to Poland? If so, what will be the cost? I'd take Long and Extra Long. [/quote] I'd look into the cost for you and, and long as you pay whatever it is on top of the £20.00, I have no problem in doing the deal.
  20. The Bass Doc
    Hiya Joe, I wouldn't recommend it for your particular bass (wrong shade), but if you need one making from the alternative material let me know. H.

    CH guitars on Ebay carry a selection I believe.

    I can pull my knob to achieve series response from parallel.
  25. The Bass Doc
    Wonder why he didn't include the original 70s Fender pickup his bass would have had? Probably BLX'd it by taking the thing apart so many times.
