Just tighten them until there tight with a screw driver and move on with your life. 🙄

Not Incognitos best bass player, but good all the same.

I dont have the original guard Steve. Not sure how im going to template it. Might have to use my craft skills. 😆 Or maybe email Lakland.

I was thinking about Sims. Would any of these guys have the correct Lakland screw spacing for the pickguard as there not all the same. I really dont want to drill more holes into this lovely Jazz.

Thing is i dont have the original guard So im just after a guard regardless of where it comes from. Good quality of course.

Haven't seen this preamp before, and not sure when he introduced it probably years and I just haven't seen it. Does anyone have one of these.? Is it just a less comprehensive J Retro.? https://www.east-uk.com/index.php/bass/j-retro/j-tone101.html

I need a quality guard for my Lakland 4460. Could the BassDoc make me one.?

No not those ones. These ones. ! Are these all universal for shaft length width etc.?. I need some for a Lakland 44-60. These are from Gear 4 Music for about a tenner.. Cheers.

Lots of stuff I dig. This is a cracker. Lots of groove I do love. Not taking anything away from Melvins fantastic playing but I would love to hear Pino Palladino play this bass line. Its perfect for some of his incredible groove and fills.

Absolutely absurd parallel.Shrewd and Savvy are not words I would use to describe Micheal Jackson in these years.The guy was a wreck. Its well documented (although Adolph never wrote anything down) that Adolf Hitler was responsible for ordering through his henchmen the deaths of millions of Jews. There is no evidence that Micheal Jackson molested children. Pure conjecture. He was still a child mentally himself, especially as his mental health deteriorated . This was normal behaviour for him, to have a sleep over with kids, and there is no evidence that the sleepovers were of a sexual nature. Trying to say some bloke down the road who slept with young boys compared to a very unstable man who was lets face it, was mentally destroyed by his father and the media and cocooned into a whole different world of total fantasy is equally absurd. Im no MJ super fan, but its not hard to see what he was and what happened to him over 20+ years. . He was innocent, but not in the same way the law sees it. He shouldn't have put himself in that situation, but he wasn't a so called evil molester of children. imo

Got to be steels surely.

The Purdie shuffle with some of the finest laid back playing from Chuck Rainey. Its such a fantastic rhythm section. Then put the chords and sprinkles on top. Those who know Steely Dan. Know.

Went for a Jam with a new drummer this evening. Using a 210. The bass has a John East preamp and I really couldn't get a good sound out of it. Couldn't hear the highs at all or the upper mids.Slapping was pointless, as the popping was inaudible. I didn't want to fiddle around too much while playing with a new drummer. So just switched to passive and there it was.! Everything was even. I just used the amp to tinker with the bass and mids. I was really surprised how good it sounded over the active circuit . Maybe im a passive guy after all. Next ill be buying a P Bass. An active circuit sounds so good through headphones at home, or without a loud drummer or maybe im just crap at eq'ing the pre in a live/rehearsal scenario. I will say the MXR Octave pedal sounds awesome with a passive bass.

Im also (ndegeocello) free as a bird.

"I genuinely believe a drummer should not play in a gigging band until they have 10 years of play/practice under their belt" Total nonsense imo. .. I know drummers who have been playing for 2/3/4 years who could smoke ( live and recorded) drummers who have been playing for 20/30 years. And you can switch that around.

Its the feel and tension of strings, as well as other factors. I know unplugged when a B string is going to sound floppy and dull amplified. Maybe, just maybe that floppy B string is down to string/adjustment/fitting. The amp sound if its set flat is just the end result of what is put through it. I find it quite strange that anyone might think that the amp is making a difference.(or maybe if you EQ it in a way ?) You might try, but imo you can't amplify a good tone if the tone in the first place isn't good.

Most good amps, cabs can handle and articulate a low B. A great defined B string comes from the bass. Period.The source.
