    Jack plug hum, but only in certain areas of the house!

    Hi guys. Ive tried switch every plug off; every circuit breaker, and mains electric to the house off. The hum is still there!! o_O Perhaps afault with the device itself? Im reluctant to buy another one in case the device is fine and something else is causing the hum. :|

    Jack plug hum, but only in certain areas of the house!

    Wow - thats guys! Very useful. I will turn one breaker off at a time. Im intrigued as to what it could be. As it happens, my office is above where the consumer unit is. Still, off that it was working fine until a few weeks ago. Ill post an update on here once Ive found the cause. (if anyone is...

    1983 Jazz bass - low volume on D and G strings

    Hi guys I have a 1983 jazz bass (with EMG pups) which I bought a few weeks ago. It feels lovely, I really like it. It sounds great - perhaps a little bright/sparkly than I would like. I dont play slap, only finger-style funk. However, when I play with the band, the D and G strings get...

    Thinking about buy this. What do you think?

    Thanks for the comments guys. Not the feedback I was hoping for, but I appreciate the honesty. :) I noticed he said that the neck needs regular adjustment. Its much easier to adjust the truss if its a bullet isnt it? The neck is a bit of a concern, especially the crack in the fingerboard by...
