+1 @ Bloodaxe ^ I've run a magnifier over my MiM P head & it does look like a plastic liner, it's the only 1 of mine that has it.

Stupid Girl - great solid bass line

Nick bought a Prewired electrics set for his P bass, great communication + instant payment & plenty of patience while delivery was held up due to the 'big freeze' I'm pleased to say Nick told me it was worth the wait & he's delighted with it. A pleasure to deal with Nick & as he said "he's sure to be buying again on basschat", have confidence dealing with Nick. Cheerz, John.

[quote name='son of frog' post='1046657' date='Dec 3 2010, 06:25 PM']Hi there, I have a couple of queries as to how to do this, My pedalboard is looking scruffy and mismatched and i've been looking into making my own length jack cables, Here are the ends i will be purchasing... [url="http://www.gapco.co.uk/1-4-inch-90-Mono-Jack-Plug-type-349.html"]http://www.gapco.co.uk/1-4-inch-90-Mono-Ja...g-type-349.html[/url] I want to know where i can buy the 1/4 inch cable to use, and [color="#FF0000"][size=4]"with this type of jack plug, will i have to solder it or will the two screws hold it firmly enough in place?"[/size][/color] Hope i've worded this in a way thats not too difficult to understand. Links to website where i can buy the raw cable would be useful too as every time i've searched all i get is pre-built cables. -Tom[/quote] The termination of the conductors will need soldering, if you mean the 2 screws that hold the top on the casing, that's all they do.

[url="http://www.bassguitarthumbrests.com/"]Guy Lewis[/url] does them, I'll put a picture on when I'm back at my PC, you might be able to see one in my avatar pic. For me the single screw holds fine & in just the right place. Cheerz, John[/quote] Edit - pictures:

[quote name='lettsguitars' post='1037283' date='Nov 26 2010, 01:34 AM']i struggle to find strings that are long enough for my builds. i only do 34" at the minute and even then, ernie ball 'long scale' are barely long enough to deal with a bridge/tailpiece setup. obviously companies only cater for basses with standard hardtail designs where the saddles are very close to the anchors. i made a 36" once and couldn't find anything near long enough. now, i plan on making 35", 36", and 38" scale in the long term and can see a huge problem in finding the right strings. companies never state the actual wound length of the string and on my 34's from tail to nut is 36". any suggestions? i mean, how about a string through? what then i ask you? i believe a standup is around the 40" mark, thats a proper length for a bass note in my book. what g'wan?[/quote] I've just measured these at 36.5" silk to silk & they're fine on my 35" scale Skjold, (Hipshot bridge top loaded).
