Looks like Guylain Belgian chocolate. Vile!

£16K, though?

Well, this is interesting......

I reckon it's either the switch - crap design - or the cap after it has gone. Very much doubt it's the pup. Have you metered the pup?

I very much doubt that this 'knot' is causing the problem. The wood isn't growing any more but could - even though dried out at time of assembly - still be losing moisture through the finish. As others have stated, this shouldn't require a new neck and that a combo of neck, fret and nut work should solve this. That said, which way is the 'warp'? Can you describe it?

Mike Watt? Kim Deal? Pete Trewavas? Lou Barlow?

It had a tortie pickguard tho which looked fussy but it seemed all original as far as an ignorant person of my limited capacity to appreciate could tell. [/quote] Love it!

Interesting thread. \was playing a bluesy-type band a few years ago and I brought in a tenor and alto sax. We needed a few original numbers to flesh out the set and I offrered a fast, Motown-flavoured song I had written several years beforehand. Rehearsed the set and all going well, though the tenor saxophonist kept dropping out during my tune. Come the gig, all going well and we get to the song in question and the Janice Joplinesque singer announces it, says she hates it and the band steams in regardless. Suddenly, I am aware of no guitar! I look to my right and the guitarist is standin staring into space!! Then, during teh sax break, I can't hear any harmonies and look over to see the tenor player looking like he's sh*t himself! Set over, I barrack the three culprits for pulling a stunt like that live! At no point was it even hinted at rehearsals that the singer & guitarist didn't like the song. On questioning the guitarist why he didn't like it he said "Cos it's got more than three chords!" The tenor player simply forgot his lines and sh*t it! The band didn't last long after that.

Well, here he is with the Jazz bass in the earlier pic. Step forward, Fran, and take a bow! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0mVsAhMfzg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0mVsAhMfzg[/url]

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1361951029' post='1993384'] Care to quote the post? [/quote] Yeh. There's only one that comes close but I doubt it's him.

How long do we have to wait???

[quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1361717998' post='1989695'] less mother's pride tho ! [/quote] I thought it was Be-Ro?? IIRC, a journalist from a music paper burst into their dressing-room prior to a show and saw them dousing themselves with flour. And I distinctly remember the quote attributed to one of the band upon the journo witnessing this spectacle: 'Please don't say anything about this; if this gets out, we're finished!' After it did, they openly admitted the use of it. So the story goes.

And,with the power of Google: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=201783&d=1298775056"]Sheehan's Studio Rig[/url]

This reminds me of a Billy Sheehan puff-piece in Bass Player back in the '90s. Sycophantic interview aside, the article included a full-page diagram of Sheehan's studio rig. There were several DIs,amps, limiters, compressors, effects, EQs, splitters and a bunch of cabs - one with a servo-assisted cone!! I wish I still had that magazine so I could post them diagram but the best way to describe it would be like a Powerpoint slide, with objects linked my multiple paths. Bizarre.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1361435808' post='1985802'] Anyone know what the print is on that T-shirt? Doesn't look like a Level 42 shirt but I am struggling to understand how it could be anything else. [/quote] Duran Duran??

[quote name='Myke' timestamp='1361396822' post='1985477'] Looks like his jeans were too big, or was the style in the 90s? I don't know I was 3 when this was taken..

Such sartorial elegance: no belt, turn-ups on the troos and that shocking waist-coat! What's the biggie power-amp?

Good point, Bertbass. A 130 on a 4001 will see a necessary neck adjustment. Please read up on that procedure before you attempt any neck adjustments. Can I ask: are you dropzoning the gauges all over this bass?
