Well, tried a dab of clear nail varnish and I do believe it's done the trick! Must have a slightly different consistency to the lacquer. Cheers

[quote name='jdel' timestamp='1425398272' post='2706934'] I'm off to pickup my first ever Wal tomorrow morning, and was just browsing this thread to tease me a bit. Now I'm pretty sure i will never be able to sleep tonight. Took me ages to find a second hand Wal at the same moment as I have cash in hands, and now I know why Wal are so scarce on the second hand market when you see the collections posted in the previous page ! Some pictures really made me swear all of the words i know of, I even made up some new ones on the way. Anyway... I'm delighted to finally get my hands on a Wal tomorrow, but what I really am, is gutted, that I will only own one of them ! [/quote] Congratulations ;-) I'm sure you'll love it. I recently managed to snap up a gorgeous 1987 mk1 custom 21 years after I foolishly sold the previous one I owned. I often wonder what happened to that bass. The photographs I had of it have long since disappeared. It was in a proper old skool full flight case that weighed an absolute ton! A guy came to collect it from my parents house in Nottingham around 1994ish for the princely sum of £560 if I recall correctly. Anyway, I won't make the mistake again and I'm sure you'll feel the same once once you've picked up your beauty. All the best with it

Hmmm.... Well the car lacquer trick hasn't worked so I think I'll have to try one of the other options. I'll keep you posted Cheers

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1425219603' post='2705151'] Drop of clear nail varnish on the top of the screw so it flows into the thread. If you already have some then clear touch up car lacquer used in the same way. [/quote] Many thanks, I'll give it a whirl ;-)

Hi all All in the title really. Does anybody have any tips or tricks to stop a bridge grub screw from rattling in its saddle? It's as if the screw has gone slack. Cheers

Bought a Barefaced Compact from Al. Bomb proof packaging, fast delivery and cab in immaculate condition, exactly as described. Trade with confidence. Many thanks again ;-)

Just sold my Fender Precision to Lozz. Nice 'coffee and a chat' type motorway services meet up. Cracking fella and lovely to meet. Trade with confidence. Enjoy the bass ;-)

I've had a Marshall Bass 12 for more years than I care to remember and it does the job really well. You can pick them up for £20-£25

[quote name='yanto' timestamp='1347730748' post='1804438'] [b]For classic rock sound select preshape 2 with the preshape button on.This takes out the graphic but in most situations it isn't required.Set low end cop at 10-12 and high end at 8.Then use the eq balance for tone depending on room.[/b] [b]Works well for me and bass players always complement me on the tone/cut.Using a P bass deluxe and a Eden Nemesis 4 x 10 cab[/b] [b]Iain[/b] [/quote]. Exactly this. Preshape 1 sounds great for noodling in the bedroom but for live performance just set it to preshape 2 and alter the EQ balance to suit. It never fails to sound great. Cuts through like nothing else 😎

[quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1422885495' post='2677858'] Just back from Jon Shuker after having the neck lacquered in a nice vintage tint. it's difficult to photograph but if you seen a Classic Ray then it's the same tint as that. Jon's done an outstanding job, it plays as good as it looks. [/quote] Very nice 😎

I've just posted this on in the Wal appreciation thread but it'd be a shame not to post it here too. From last nights gig.

The new love of my life on it's first outing at our gig last night......... It sounded fantastic

Ooh that's going to sound superb (and rather loud) 😎
