    Alas, poor Nate has gone. It was a lovely bass, but I don't gig Precisions. It's not my sound. So here's another Jazz bass... Previous owner has added a Parallel/Series switch (like Fender's original S1 switching), quite why, I have no idea. And a Leo Quan BadAss II bridge, which is an excellent choice, although I'd have preferred the Fender American Standard/Professional bridge with the through body stringing. I guess you can't have everything. Liking the Shell Pink finish and the Pure Vintage 64 pickups (same as my American Original), but the relic job is VERY heavy handed.

    I have a Hohner B2. The leg rest works fine. Don't underestimate the passive humbuckers, they are incredible. Better than the Select by EMG pickips on my Jack V.

    Just a few cable management improvements thanks to a hole saw and Amazon's wide range of cables!

    Was the neck refinished also? Thanks

    For sale is the Microtubes B7K Ultra V2 which has the AUX input as well. Great sounding pedal with amazing ability to sculp both the tone on the preamp side and the distortion on the drive side of the pedal. There is some very impressive sounds that can be had out of this pedal. The pedal comes with the original box and all the goodies that came with it. I bought this pedal 3-4 years ago but the sound is a bit too much for the bands I am in. I was always hoping to use it but it has literally sat in the box the whole time. I had thought I might use it also as an emergency DI for gigs but I have never needed it. I would be really interested in trades for Iron Ether Nimbus and/or Polytope because the funds coming from this will go towards those pedals. If I was playing heavier music this pedal would absolutly be staying. £270 including postage. Bank transfer or PayPal F&F.

    possibly, all my basses have a symmetrical curve where they stand so I don't have a problem.

    I love zero 7, didn’t realise he was the guy. So much thought in his bass lines that are just enough for the song.

    Spanking new round wounds, huge attack with right hand to push the pre-amp into the red as well. It’s a great bass line with loads of energy, I’m surprised how sloppy some of the bits are. Did they really decide to go for this as “the take”. Lots of string noise and undampened strings around 1.10. Some timing issues and inconsistent attack later on. Flea is great, but this isn’t perfect!

    This one was for me. Chuck Rainey's part for 'Haitian Divorce' from the 1973 Steely Dan album, 'The Royal Scam'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/haitian-divorce-steely-dan/

    The Stinger pickup sounds so good, that I fitted it in the Seafoam Green P-Bass, my 2 tone burst bass, and i have a spare pickup in my spares stash. The pickup is expensive (cost me around £185 including import taxes, but when you find something which works so well, you want to use it over and over again.

    Apparently no good for jazz basses (according to two reviews on Amazon) shame if that's the case.

    He always sounds like that.

    Thanks. I have a few preamps I will be putting up for sale over the next few days.
  26. neepheid
    No, wait. I can procrastinate a little longer, I could move the existing pickup's wiring to go through the selector switch and the switch output to the volume pot. Needs doing anyway...

    Amazing the amount of overdrive/fret-buzz & rattling there is in the original.

    We play this. Can't say I'm ever particular about getting the tone 100%. We only have guitar, bass and drums. No one has ever said to me "Great song, but you need to be playing a jazz with the bridge pickup on full". Play hard. In fact, we get people up and singing along to this without fail.

    50 minute afternoon spot at Ellesmere Port Summer Jam today. Only our third ever gig. It's a slow ball to get rolling right now but we're getting there. We all use IEM straight into the desk. It always sounds fine at rehearsal but I need to do more work on my gig mix as it's never as well defined. Played well, pretty happy all round. Sun came out and people listened. Nice things were said afterwards. Unfortunately the wrestling show had finished by the time we got off stage sonny plans for a top turnbuckle band pic were scuppered. Here's a little phone clip of Macy Gray. Of course, our friends & family managed to catch the bit where I trip over my lead, nearly stack it then hit the wrong note.

    These are super heavy, but they are THE best bass combo ever made in my humble opinion. I've had two in the past and £200 for one of these with the tone and flexibility (and volume!) is super cheap... If I didn't have an Eden WT1205 and 610 cab (and live in Essex) I'd have taken this.

    Selector switch arrived today, so it's big drill time - no pressure, yay! Going super careful, I put masking tape over the hole and its edges, then went up 1mm at a time from 9 to 12mm. Despite the tape, I did chip the finish a little in one place around the hole, but thankfully not a big bit and hidden by the dress washer. Attack a perfectly nice bass with this monster using a hand drill? No, it wasn't scary at all, lol. Unfortunately, that's all the "easy" jobs done. Next step is to make a template for my pickup route, then take a big, deep breath and attack the front of the body with forstner bits and a router.

    The Anadime was the next choice - in fact it was the first choice and I'd been hunting for one for a while, but one never showed up, then this got me excited. I'd used an Anadime before at a bass bash and thought it was very pretty sounding. I tend to use chorus more for that tool-like swirling vibe than the classic 80's use (with bass at least) and this seems to nail it perfectly. It seemingly adds a layer that just makes everything sound awesome. Excited to experiment with it over the next week or so.
