Delberthot

I don't know if I can get to it this way - there's no channel cut in the body like my Warmoth had to get in with a screwdriver. i can only see the top of the truss rod adjuster

I've searched as much as i can but can't find an answer on here. I'm going to fire a new set of strings on my precision at the weekend and am also going to give the truss rod a tweak as it does play well but could play even better if the neck was straighter. The issue I have is that the adjustment is at the body end and its the big screw type jobbie. Now it looks like the only way i can get to it is by removing the neck but I don't want to keep doing that to adjust and I don''t have the necessary tools/skill to fit metal inserts into the neck Is there any way to adjust one of these type of truss rods without removing the neck?

Does the knee and hip replacement come included in the price if you play like he does for too long?

I remember when this was all fields as far as the eye could see i used to be with it then they changed what 'it' was etc I've always been the youngest in all of my bands and still am at 34. One of my first gigs was a proper big band and the trumpeter was in his 80s when i was 17 - probably the youngest in that band by 40 odd years I don't care if they have to wheel me out to play, i want to keep going as long as i am able for years to come.

I'm using a Trace 1248H and have the input on 2 and the output on 3 and its bloody mental loud

I've got mine from here in the past: [url="http://www.classicguitarboxes.com/thumb_rests.php"]http://www.classicguitarboxes.com/thumb_rests.php[/url]

[quote name='pantherairsoft' post='772883' date='Mar 12 2010, 03:45 PM']I have a pair of covers from these chaps... [url="http://www.pianocoversonline.co.uk/"]http://www.pianocoversonline.co.uk/[/url] Not the cheapest out there, but the service is good and the covers are bomb proof!!! They also have many cab and amp model dimensions preset on the website so if you r lucky that they have done one before you don't need to measure up. They make custom amp bags for lightweight amps as well. Used to have one for a MarkBass head, was a well spent £40 compared to the MarkBass branded one at £90[/quote] That's where I got the V-type combo cover made - they're actually part of Roqsolid as well

The thing I much prefer about the newer ones in the last 10 or so years (possibly more) is that the pickup poles don't have the sharp edges of the older ones. That's what made me sell my 20th anniversary 4 string (and it was ugly) Newer ones have 6 bolt neck joints onstead of 4 (or 3 for the oldest ones) , clip open battery compartments instead of screw on chrome plates. The 2 absolute best ultimate stingrays for me were my 30th anniversary that had a monumental tone and my 5 string Lava Pearl one. That's another point, if you're buying a 5 string, until the 5 string sterlings came out the 5 string stingray was really a sterling due to the pickup and electronics which differ from the stingray. Once the new sterlings came out, they changed the 5 string stingray to be more like the 4 string stingray if that makes sense. Oh, and that's not to be confused with the sterling by musicman range which are the budget range.

i drift in and out of my own wee world when I'm playing and sometimes have to think where in the song I am when I come out of it. I also have a tendency to try difficult stuff on the spur of the moment during a gig which may or may not work. I never think of my widdling in terms of major, minor etc - i just play on the fretboard where I think will sound right and most of the time its right. I do make mistakes but can't remember the last time I did though so it must've been a good few months ago. The good thing is that doing mainly weddings and functions, the crowd tend not to notice. We usually have a laugh between ourselves if one of us make a mistake

My rock band is playing in Falkirk at the end of this month. we do a lot of Paul Rodgers stuff from Free right through to his solo stuff as well as others from U2, Golden earring, Paul Weller, Chilis etc I expect we will be starting around 9.30 - 10.00 This is our first gig there, we normally play in Behind The Wall for Falkirk gigs so it should be a good night Our singer - the great Baldy Jim is a legend in his own lunchtime. Our drummer has played with many bands all over the world. He's played with Fish but preferred using sticks (boom boom) Mick the guitarist is phenomenal but not big headded which is unusual for guitarists. Finally, if you want to hear a Fender Phil Lynott tribute bass played by a big bloke through an Orange Terror Bass and Trace 4x12" then I'll be there as well. Come one, come all. I'm looking forward to it.

Try taking on a DIY project. I'm putting in a new bathroom so I've only been on here twice this week

I'll give you a pound

There were loads of variants in the Bass Collection range from the passive series, up to the exotic Paduak/Zebrano series and there were loads of colours available.

Mani played a 3000 which was very similar. Best bet is to check out the Rickresource forum for more info. Jeff Rath on there modifies Rics from 4 to 5 strings and I'm sure he's had a few of these More student range than the 4000 series, aimed at beginners. I'm sure that there was a 2080 Glen Frey bass similar to this one

Why not just end it?

Which model is it? looks like either an SB405 or 415.

My 90s MIJ Fender precision in shell pink with maple fretboard, Riverhead Jupiter used on my very first demo when I was19, Lava Pearl Stingray 5 string with white scratchplate and pickup, my 'Flea' 5 string stingray in black, 30th anniversary stingray, Ibanez SR1036 (or something like that) Not a huge list given the amount of basses I've owned but these are the ones I would have again if I could find them and had the money at the time

Got an email from the singer on Thursday to learn it in C for the gig on Saturday night We actually pulled it off really well. I don't have a fretless to get that honky sound so I use my Boss OC-2 & BF-3 and the sound was massive through my Terror Bass and Trace 4x12"
