    DIY string spacing - is this bad? need opinions

    Hi sorry, When I said about the grooves I meant on the plate not on the saddles themselves. I posted this in repairs and was advised that its not always a problem and removed the coins and just listened like I should have done in the first place and im happy enough. TBH I've since...

    DIY string spacing - is this bad? need opinions

    Too late lol. Well never too late but new pickup is in and I had to do some file work on the pickguard to get it to fit where it is so I think moving it isnt an option. Good idea tho but I'm happy enough knowing that im not losing out on sound somewhere. Besides the new PUP has a logo...

    ashdown amps !?

    I bought an ashdown after eight (no there were no free mints before anyone asks) second hand and apart from a lot of fluff and dirt it came with some free flyers for some club somewhere, a small plastic ruler and a button badge. The badge read "Give the police a hand - beat yourself up"...

    DIY string spacing - is this bad? need opinions

    Thanks John, Yup, you know that nagging thought in the back of your mind that you sometimes get. The one that in this case says "I bet the strings don't have to line up lets have a listen and see if there's any noticable difference in volume" lol. So yeah I did that and it seems ok. Thanks...

    are there any good affordable heads and cabs

    If I could go back and start saving from then I could pick up a markbass lol. I'm experimenting at the moment mostly for portability. Got a little ashdown after eight for home cause it looked cool - not bad for headphone use. Got my eye on an ashdown 350watt little giant and theres a 1000watt...

    DIY string spacing - is this bad? need opinions

    Ok, First off don't shout at me lol. I fancied a different bass sound from my fender jazz and bought a "vintage" musicman copy off ebay for buttons. It's actually really good - I mean really and it's an older model, pre wilkinson I think. I'm upgrading it (took collection of a wilkinson...
