    2008 MIM Fender jazz bass

    Fender knobs have a tiny little screw in the side which you can tighten or release with a flat blade jewlers screwdriver. The worlds least competent DIYer could swap the knobs on a Fender bass in 5 minutes

    Career Indecision

    I did ChemE in England. My main beef with chemE is that you end up working in Chemical Plants. These are horrible smelly ugly places. There is plenty of coin to be had, but its not a nice place to work. I now fix computer networks instead

I can get opinions before I buy stuff I know nothing about. This is a good thing for me, rather than risk being sold the old crap thats been in the shop for...

    Am I Being Unreasonable?

    Break up or quit band. Leave it a few weeks, then invite guitarist to join you and the drummer in a new band, with a different name. That way, you arent kicking him out the old band, just starting a new one, into which he isnt invited
