      Thanks chaps. 😁

  5. Keep your eye on the Build Diaries section... 😎
  6. If I go the clear coat refinish route, I’m thinking of making a new pick guard and control plate from a similar hued wood. Would look nice I think. 😊
  7. Interesting that mine is front-routed from the neck pickup to the control cavity, and yours isn’t....
  8. I’ve checked the draw on all of the pedals and they amount to just under 500mA. The power supply is brand new and is rated at 1A. I’ve no idea how to check if the rating is true...
  9. STINGRAY GAS!

      There is a new website for those; Scumtree.cow

  10. Update - the issue only occurs when I plug the lead from my bass in.....
  11. Status-Graphite in Essex.
  12. I’ve only recently discovered Rick Beato on YouTube, and what a thoroughly pleasant chap he seems to be. 😊
  13. Wow that looks really good! Thanks for the tips guys. 😊
  14. Hey all, I bought a used Baby Tuner a while ago but I’ve started having issues with it. When it’s sat in my pedalboard connected to 5 other pedals, after a while the display stops working - clicking the foot switch still mutes the signal from my bass but the display is blank. However, if I use the tuner on its own, there are no problems. The power adapter I’m using is a 1A which is plenty of juice for what the pedals are drawing. I’m stumped. Any ideas? 🧐
  15. Nice work! Did you finish and use the body eventually? 😊
  16. Not like that, ya filthy..:: I have acquired my son’s Squier Affinity jazz bass and have decided I would like to take it back to bare wood and refinish it with a clear coat, or possibly use an oil finish So any tips for removing a modern poly finish? 😊 Hoping to read lots of positive stories about how easy it is, and virtually zero tales of woe, cursing and grown men quietly sobbing into their pillows at night...🙈
  17. My comments suggest nothing of the sort. Are you drunk?
  18. Yes. Could you clarify the above quote please? As a non-cryptic answer.
  19. And round we go again...
  20. My point (which you seem to have missed entirely) is that you’re claiming that because you and some friends of yours went into a shop where Mark King worked, and played some slap bass while he may or may not have been listening, this directly influenced him and his playing style for which his is most famous. I’m merely asking you to provide a bit more proof than merely saying ‘this happened, so it’s fact’ based on the assumption that he’s never (in any of the interviews I’ve seen/read in any case) mentioned being influenced by customers venturing into the shop he once worked in, and them playing slap lines. Its not about defending him, it’s about proving your claim.
  21. No, I don’t think this is correct at all. At least, I haven’t heard him say anything of the sort on tape or in print. It is possible you know, that when Mark picked up a bass he did his own thing more or less straight away, influenced by Mr Clarke et al. How do you know? Do you mean “contemporary music”? And Ali G??? Im confused... 🧐
  22. You say plectrum, I say pick, let's call the whole thing off. Or something...
  23. I call it a pick because I like to say "pick" rather than "plectrum". "Plectrum" is two syllables and therefore takes twice as long to say than "pick" does. I'm a busy man y'know...
