Thanks for your input everybody , much appreciated . It is the fretboard dots I'd like to remove rather than the dots on the edge . My project bass has a maple board which I've scraped the varnish off . I intend to stain the board as dark as I can get it and as the dots are black I'd like to put new ones in .

Wow ! What a top notch bloke ! Ordered a wiring kit from John and he made it and sent in no time , it's on its way as we speak . A complete gent in all respects , although when it comes the time for me to fit it he may well be sick of all the ' just one more thing ...' type messages ...! All Hail the Mighty KiOgon !!!!

I have a project Bass on the go , I'd like to make it string through . The bridge is an Epiphone / Gibson 3 point . How far from the bridge would I drill the holes ? Any and all advice welcome

Anyone know how to do this ?

I'll get some pics up tomorrow , just off to bed ! It's just an old Bass I've had for yonks

Back up t'top !

I bought a Tascam Bass Trainer from Brian ,well packaged and with a note inside which was a nice touch ,a good guy to deal with ,patient . recommended !

How about Vambo by SAHB ? First part of The Hot City Symphony ...Part 2 is Man In The Jar with a top notch Bass line by the great Chris Glen

Another deserved Thank you to Dave from me - cable ordered , paid for and delivered in a couple of days , great stuff ,recommended !

I don't know who anton Newcombe is , but after that remark I know what he is and that's a first class ****.

I loved the Punk era for the music , so that's what it meant to me - more great music to listen to . I was 17 at the time into Quo , Lizzy , SAHB , Sabbath , Zeppelin etc etc . I still had fairly long hair , wore jeans & t- shirts , trainers , the whole safety pin biz / bondage gear meant nothing to me , it just seemed like fancy dress !

Aha ! Thanks everybody , checking out yon't cables 'n' wires as we speak .....

This may warrant me a clip round the ear but who is OBBM ?

One of my faves is definitely is the solo at the end of Summer Breeze by the Isley Brothers ( Ernie Isley I think ) . Superb .

Chris Glen / Ted McKenna - SAHB

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1358534503' post='1941110'] This is my very modified Squier VM Jaguar. At some stage I'll upgrade the electrics to match the looks Underneath all the pazzaz is a modest, starter bass but, stripped and veneered, it looks a million dollars and is great to play. Trimming the carbon fibre on the pickguard was challenging - thousands of tiny, highly conductive fibres just where the electrics are... ...one lives and learns [/quote] That is a thing of beauty , well done mate !

I don't know if it's my favourite , but I've loved Eight Line Poem from Bowies Hunky Dory album since I first heard it in 1973 . It's Mick Ronson at his absolute beautiful , tasteful best ....unfortunately I don't know how to upload any vid that there might be around ...if some kind soul could do the honours , I'd be eternally grateful ...plus you'd be doing a public service !

Wizard Pickups have just started selling a pickup for a Musicmaster , might be worth a shot ?

[quote name='Minty' timestamp='1364403138' post='2026029'] Here's my '61 Jazz replica I made out of Fender parts... 80's Japanese Fender E-series body, routed for P-bass pickup in the neck. Fender MIM Jazz neck refinished in nitro. Wizard Big P/J pickups. Tuning pegs and control plate from a '62 American Reissue. Gotoh 201b bridge plate and Gotoh 203b saddles. [/quote] That's bloody lovely . I don't have a Jazz Bass , but I want a beaten up Bass and that wee beauty would definitely fit the bill ! Very nice indeed !

I love short scales , even though I sold both my 65 reissue Jap Mustang and my white SG (pics still on here somewhere ) in order to buy a Shuker . I still have a hankering for the new White , Pawn Shop Mustang ! I'm sure I've recently seen the Jap on sale for about £760 ! Mine cost me £400 (I think) in 2006 . Just checked £739 at Thomann !!!!!

Cheers for your input everyone , I'll get looking !
