[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1328121042' post='1522206'] Just out of interest, why do you want to replace the bridge? [/quote]in the past ive banged on that high mass bridges dont make that much difference, or was it string through, i cant remember? but i played a jazz the other week with a BA on it, and across the neck the tone was more consistent..

I would like to change the bridge on my 75 RI jazz... ive never done this before... BUT... i dont really want to drill more holes... the bass has the usual Fender bent piece metal on it.... can you recommend a bridge that will use the existing holes..? Just spotted these.. im getting GAS for a bridge...

If ive ever had problems with a floppy B string ive used Hex Core strings...DR Low Riders are excellent... i tend to buy just the B string Low Rider, then buy a four string set of similar tonal qualities, that are round core.. Low riders do tend to be very stiff, not something im keen on from E to G... but there killer on a B string DR Low Rider's also have a fantastic tone, lots of definition..

Whats also good, is the basses that are for sale are from people who know about basses and are usually set up well... oh and they dont have to pay staff...

just for those who may not have heard it.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WEazpFaAOY

[quote name='Floyd Pepper' timestamp='1327799425' post='1517103'] I've got both his albums and I think he is a real talent. Check out the song 'Sunday' [/quote]ive pretty much heard everything hes done,and yes Sunday is fantastic...

i think i may have posted this before.... some people may take a dislike to looping, but ive always been blown away by this guy... his voice for a start is just amazing....but also, its the way he puts everything together that is very cool.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJfnvna4kwI

imo.. the best disco track ever recorded...i was in a club in cheltenham once, everyone in the place was sat down listening to jazz funk etc.. this came on and there wasnt a single person sat down...totally funked everyone.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XURndIIZHy8

[quote name='dc2009' timestamp='1327789449' post='1516942'] On the basis that Fodera, like any custom shop can source any old Fender part from old instruments/ebay, I'd get Fodera to build me a custom bass, with the nicest bits off the nicest Fenders (and other brands) I could find. I reckon Fodera could build a Fender better than Fender ever could anyway, unless you think certain build imperfections are part of the 'charm,' in which case you could just get Fodera to build those in deliberately through master craftsmanship, rather than get Fender to build it accidentally through incompetence. [/quote]yep your right.. Fodera... doing the master builder thing on a fender 75 jazz bass.. now were talking.. that would be serious jazz bass

i love this track from there best album imo... just adore this track... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cYnJX7VO4w&ob=av2e

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1327785021' post='1516866'] And noone's mentioned Abba yet...?

im sure it is not a serious problem at all, but there is no doubt in my mind that the best person to answer what is going on with your arm is your GP...

[quote name='mrdreadful' timestamp='1327781777' post='1516800'] Had it been done transparently with clear and concise communication I'd agree with the 'not venting frustration' thing. But as a [url="http://www.h2g2.com"]moderator myself[/url] I think people are well within their rights to publically rant when a disproportionately heavy-handed decision is made with no explanation given. [/quote]but given that there is no explanation given by the OP, its difficult to condone his post.. no idea what link you just gave us?
