[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1387750261' post='2315297'] Try and find a great drummer called Bozo, then you could have the complete set. [/quote]ha ha. I've played with quite a few bozo's over the years.

[quote name='JimBobTTD' timestamp='1387748478' post='2315241'] It only takes 30 minutes, costs under a fiver and is well worth doing. The bass will still work and sound good without it. It will work and sound better with it, I feel. [/quote] Thanks a lot mate. for both threads ha ha!

It would have to be Bonzo, Bozzio and don't know..maybe copeland!

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.

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1387657416' post='2314372'] Do you have conductive shielding paint handy for the cavities? [/quote] What?

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='Johnm93' timestamp='1387562042' post='2313453'] Surely it was one of your most lucrative nights? [/quote]I was manger for a pub a pub company rather than a landlord so i made no extra money!

I used to run pubs. We f-ing hated this day!

Gotta[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1387527400' post='2312870'] TBH The Blockheads without Ian Dury (never mind NWR) seems a fairly pointless exercise to me. [/quote] [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1387527676' post='2312872'] I remember seeing them in the 70's and thinking the opposite [/quote] agree with big red really!

[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]
