I had a Jaguar briefly a couple of years ago. It did buzz but it was no worse than some Jazzes I've had.

[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1226772' date='May 10 2011, 09:47 PM']I have loads on my low B, but you can't hear it in a live situation. I find it bothers beginners, but that seems to be down to technique. Does it bother you?[/quote] I don't like fret buzz at all. It's nothing to do with being a beginner because the longer I have played the less I like it. As far as I'm concerned, high action equals better tone. A string can't vibrate properly if it's rattling against the frets.

[quote name='tauzero' post='1226301' date='May 10 2011, 03:18 PM']Two of them have come to a Full Stop though.[/quote] .... and the driver Neil Aspinall .... and Mal Evans the other roadie. So that's four....

[quote name='ZMech' post='1225527' date='May 9 2011, 08:31 PM']I think this is the most that people have ever agreed on a forum. 70 posts all agreeing that tuning is vital immediately before/during a gig (discounting the OP), plus a few about some van.[/quote] Yes, I agree, don't bother tuning at home, tune at the gig, and have an inline mutable tuner for checking and be able to use your ear when possible or necessary. Sorry about the van.

Even the Beatles had a Commer.

[quote name='icastle' post='1225425' date='May 9 2011, 07:10 PM']Mouth organ? By 'eck you was posh - we had to tune up in a cardboard box on t'motorway... [/quote] Motorway? You were lucky. We had to take a B road in an old Commer van.

[quote name='Beedster' post='1225423' date='May 9 2011, 07:09 PM']I was just about to say Bass Doc will be along in a second![/quote] Yes, I was hoping that he might be.

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='1225396' date='May 9 2011, 06:43 PM']Assuming the bass has it's original bridge, I find it's right to 'bump' it up to the bridge itself and check it's centred.[/quote] Thanks Doc, I thought that might be it but I didn't want to make the holes and then regret it.

Can anyone tell me the measurements to get the screw holes in the correct place when fitting a bridge ashtray to a Fender Precision?

[quote name='icastle' post='1225031' date='May 9 2011, 12:59 PM']When I started playing, electronic tuners were rare and very expensive - pitch forks were the standard we all worked to. [/quote] Pitchforks? You were lucky. We only had an old mouth organ.

I hate any kind of rattle or even sizzle of strings on frets. I find the tone is definitely preferable when there is some air between the string and the neck and body.

[quote name='WalMan' post='1224462' date='May 8 2011, 08:21 PM']It'll be VAT @ 20% on the total plus the shipping agents fee to process the VAT which'll probably be another £10[/quote] ... and import duty which is (IIRC) 3.9% and goes on before the VAT.

Nice painting but shouldn't he be right handed?

The Squier Classic Vibe Jazz is basswood. Mine was just over 9lbs. Tone was fine, especially with pickups upgraded to Wizards.

[quote name='purpleblob' post='1221926' date='May 6 2011, 08:59 AM']I'd say somebody got a bit of a bargain.[/quote] Yes, I think so. Except for not having any money, I would have happily paid in excess of £1045.

Sold for £1045 - I thought it would be more like £1300.

... and me. Flats on everything, although not all the same kind. Even flats on an ABG.

Looking good.

La Bella Deep Talkin' Flats 760FX have orange/terracotta silks. They are extra light 39-56-77-96. Does that sound convincing?

[quote name='graz66' post='1217260' date='May 2 2011, 10:06 AM']Think they could be La Bella Deep Talkin Flats. I 've recently fitted some to my G&L Tribute L2000, they have the same terracotta coloured threads and they sound awesome [/quote] Which Deep Talkin's have terracotta? 760FL = red 760FS = black 760M = blue 760N = purple

[quote name='AndyMartin' post='1217240' date='May 2 2011, 09:43 AM']Looks like it was withdrawn by the seller. The last one I saw on ebay went for £2500 which is more than they are new, so maybe he had second thoughts about the price. If it'd been down here I would've bitten his hand off at that price[/quote] Withdrawn and then relisted and sold BIN for £1500.
