Is it absolutely neccessary?

Thanks mate. So it's not absolutely neccessary?

So i have to spray the cavity with some shielding paint then?

I'm doing my first build/ refin. In the thread i'm doing someone has said i need conductive paint or copper foil for the control cavity so that the pick ups won't humm. I've asked is this the same thing as a wire that goes from the jack thru the body to the bridge? But i've ye to receive an answer. thought i'd try my luck in here! Can anyone help?

Does the wire from the jack thru the body to the bridge do the same thing?

Do you mean like a copper wire that runs from the jack socket through the body to the bridge? Bear in mind this is my first attempt at any thing like this coming from a starting point of zero knowledge.

Well the decal finally arrived after a load of bollocks. Had to trim the "custom bass" off as it didn't quite fit. I'm happy with the result though. Just leave it for 24 hrs and then juice it with clear coat tomorrow. (rubbish picture alert) [attachment=150795:20131221_194117.jpg]

[quote name='Spike Vincent' timestamp='1387480121' post='2312554'] Yes, in a I'm Jaco sort of way, but not in a blood spattered Sid Vicious way. [/quote] Sid Vicious would have been an interesting member of Weather Report. Not quite as crazy as Jaco tho!

Jaco has it high and he looks pretty cool!

Near Manchester.

All i can say is WTF and where do the strings come from!?

Yeah I'm up for it when we finally get our arse in gear. Learning tunes with new drummer!

Just smash the guitar up and buy a new one. That's the only sensible advice i can give!

[quote name='tinyd' timestamp='1387288153' post='2310246'] +1. Being able to play well quietly is one of the most overlooked musical skills IMHO. [/quote] Respect! just did a tour with a drummer. In the rehearsal we all noticed and remarked about how quiet he was. Best drummer i've ever played with. Great control of dynamics, great groove.

I've never understood this problem with guitarists. I just don't accept it from the off. They do as they are told. I don't understand why they seem to be held up higher in the band hierachy. There is no musical hierachy!

How about the 'If ya like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join our'... club!

Due to this thread I'm totally whizzing off Aerosmith. How cool and filthy is this!? [media]http://youtu.be/dacZjjkUFx8[/media]

Another lecturer introduced us to this, which we loved. Then made us play it as part of our ensemble exam. I had great lecturers! http://youtu.be/kRkkJKf-hnA

[quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1387044469' post='2307761'] some of you possibly wonder why i post music on BC. its because 1. I'm inherently interested in different peoples opinions on music. good or bad there are some people on BC that you can learn from . 2 this is bad ass rock funk [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aw2rM0w-pc[/media] [/quote] [quote name='risingson' timestamp='1387048579' post='2307823'] I'm glad you post up so much music BB5, I see a some people on this forum using OT all the time but never talking music really, and it's the thing that we all have in common so don't ever stop posting cool tracks. Anyway… like the tune but I love the Massive Attack sample [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKtTmZnVhhI[/media] [/quote] Nice one! I've been looking for this tune for years. I originally heard the massive attack sample, obviously being a teen in the 90's etc. But was well into prog , fusion and 70's rock when at music college. One of our lecturers played us this as he knew i was a Tommy Bolin fan. He's on guitar i think. Sounds like him anyway. I've wanted i for time but could never remember what the track was called. But as i type this i realise it was on GTA IV and i could have just checked the booklet.

So basically all the above is just played over a vamp on one dominant 7 chord. You just play each pattern sequentially!
