Burgundy Mist 64 J Bass should be coming my way shortly...

[quote name='mikebass84' timestamp='1409727197' post='2542580'] Would you put the eq pedal before or after the swollen pickle? [/quote] Definitely after the SP. It's the sound coming out of the pedal that you want to EQ, not the sound going into it.

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1409677062' post='2542166'] Thanks. I've also shot a message to Tom at Cog to see what he can do [/quote] Great stuff, Tom'll sort you out! :-)

Another one, at the studio last night. COG Knightfall always on of course! [URL=http://s66.photobucket.com/user/albakio/media/20140828_212827.jpg.html][IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h241/albakio/20140828_212827.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1409182146' post='2537322'] The latest reissue series is a quality step up from the previous models. Better finished, more of a vintage feel,,custom wound pickups etc.,etc. Definitely nicer and worth more than the earlier series [/quote] Having played a lot of AVRI Fenders, I don't agree with this. The 64 Jazz basses I've played have been good, but they don't feel as nice as the previous 62 reissues do to me.

A lot of people (including myself) tend to have the bass up full, then use the treble (middle) knob like a tone control. Kind of depends on how the knobs are placed, but I have it so that the treble knob's screw hole is pointing up at me when in the halfway position. I usually have it set like this when I (rarely) use a pick, but have the treble set just a fraction shy of full-on when playing fingerstyle.

I like listening to the demo without watching it, and pretending it's Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords talking ...

The latest incarnation...Actually enjoying the Bass Whammy quite a lot, not as "warm" sounding as my WH-1 but a few more useful options! Just one more COG unit to come, then I'll be happy (for a little while! ...).

Diago Powerstation. Inexpensive and awesome. You don't need an isolating psu, I use this to power my whole board (including Moog LPF and Strymon El Cap) and there's no noise at all!

Nordstrand MM4.4 pickup would be pretty good for that I reckon.

Please, will someone buy that burgundy mist Jazz off the website so I don't have to!...

Haha! That's Francisco Centeno, and he was in the Late Show house band for a while. James had the very Sadowsky he plays for sale on this forum a while ago, [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/233024-sold-thanks-for-looking1986-sadowsky-nyc/page__p__2420761__hl__sadowsky%20james__fromsearch__1#entry2420761"]here[/url]. I bet no-one knew it had a bit of shoegazing history attached to it!

Everyone has their favourites man, I think you need to go to try some out ;-)

Fingathing should probably get a mention too, I think they fit into this category.

I use a TC Corona. It's very versatile, I'd be massively surprised if you couldn't get the sound that you wanted from it.

Thanks guys, think I'll try the WD40 first! I think this used to be yours actually Pete (bought from Andy Baxter, seen here http://www.andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=477). It appears to match the one in your ad from a couple of years ago!

No one's mentioned Red Snapper!?...Try "The Sleepless" by them.

Thanks for the replies guys (and sorry about the dual threads! ). I think it's off to the Gallery...

[quote name='alittlebitrobot' timestamp='1408123249' post='2527401'] So, the advice is to loosen the truss rod, bend the neck yourself to the required relief (trying to allow for subsequent string tension) and then tighten up the rod again to hold the neck in that relief. [/quote] Thanks for this. Not sure I'm brave enough to try this myself though...Considering my lack of technical skill (and knowing my luck!) I'd probably end up putting an irreversible twist in it or something! Think I may need to take it to the tech before I try anything like this! [quote name='andydye' timestamp='1408123377' post='2527408'] Will it loosen or is it seized? If seized try dribbling a little wd40 in there being careful with the finish? Worked on a mex j I had once... if not seized... [/quote] Didn't try it the other way, just took the allen key out and left it! Will try it later on though, and will get the WD40 out if it's the case! Thanks Andy

After having my Stingray a few months, the neck relief has gotten to the point where it needs a little tighten (forward bow, about 1mm gap at 7th fret with capo on 1st/fretting 21st). I got the allen key out today and tried to give it a little clockwise turn, but it won't budge...I put reasonable but not excessive force on it (read all the horror stories about snap nuts/cracked rods), but it won't shift at all! I'll likely be taking it to the Gallery to see what can be done, but just wanted to know whether anyone's experienced this before? If so, did you find any way around it? I know it could either be a stiff nut, or a maxed out rod, but if there's a simple way around it I'd rather save a few bob!... Any help will be muchly appreciated! Al
