    Oh yeah, I tried those as well. Ive never been too impressed with any of the cobalt line.
  3. brickers started following Stingray fans - opinions needed!!

    Tony Levin has a couple of beautiful peach 5ers - there’s a picture on this thread: Failing that I’d go for black or white but with a sparkle or pearlescent so it’s not totally plain

    All of my basses are wired stereo. It’s the only way I play. Amazon has a couple of cables the are stereo on one end and a split to two mono plugs on the other end.. I have used them and keep a few for backups… I have used this but I prefer a right angle plug on the the bass… https://www.amazon.com/ZTOXLR-Stereo-Y-Splitter-Insert-Breakout/dp/B0CN465827/ref=sr_1_8?crid=29WUCWVRGQ8B5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._Z1bbJ9bqjtm6Sy4tqUx5IhwOp2CO4G1RhEnGQZncoSGhO_ZVtEbZhWPwW7mo-oKImkK8HBxr4vwravZeInVyE0_JG_SgirRdrze_W3JlkcAc1WE5zmZWvFVDZVpIDxIUmma_GfD89PUQHHtBLVYNXc458aQUTdlToGC7fPzr_ayo9NAOiFhCX-bjWpGBBmVOCaLBVpJXatQRKUtryycw0uzd_jyRTUFT5Mz9C2E5IE.-XcELX3ywQpySBBAQmd3K4RiU-GPPCkt4oaEUDxK60c&dib_tag=se&keywords=1%2F4%2Binch%2Btrs%2Bstereo%2Bto%2Bdual%2B1%2F4%2Binch%2Bts%2Bmono%2By-splitter%2Bcable&qid=1753885273&sprefix=1%2F4%2Binch%2Btrs%2Bstereo%2Bto%2Bdual%2B1%2F4%2Binch%2Bts%2Bmono%2By-splitter%2Bcable%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-8&th=1

    Hi Steve, yes I looked into the technical diagrams of my American Original and found that they still use 250k pots. So the real difference must be in the pickups. I’ll do some recordings when they arrive before and after… The Fender set is only £109 as well, so good value.
  7. Mrbigstuff
    Just seen a video and thought the same. People whooping as Sharon gets out the car. Madness
  8. Silky999
    so you decided for the pickups over the pot capacity changes then? Lol. Let me know how it goes with the Fenders as I would like to move away from the Wilkinsons. If they get you closer to the sound of your American then we may have struck value for money bass gold!! An affordable jazz bass that is on par with a Fender American
  9. MoonBassAlpha
    Ah, those aren't in the list. Another thought I've had is some 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapters don't always make great connection with the sleeve of the headphone plug resulting in a very odd frequency response. Might be worth trying a different adapter if you have one, or comparing the sound at your mixing setup to plugging the headphone straight into your phone without using an adaptor?

    Prior to the signature set coming out, there were adverts of Pino endorsing the standard cobalt flats, so one hopes he was actually using them. Prior to that, as stated above, LaBellas and, apparently, Thomastiks (I didn’t know that, so thanks for the info @Misdee) and probably stills does on some basses.
  11. bassatnight
    Still available, but now advertised elsewhere. Cheers, Steve.

    This js my homemade spraying jig(mk1). I had it poking into a couple of cardboard boxes taped together with an old fan blowing out the garage door. I am about to build a proper mdf booth with someone’s used hydroponics extractor fan, lights and some proper ducting to sort the overspray
  13. soulstar89 started following Yamaha Pulser 400 now £400 excluding all shipping.
  14. soulstar89
    I second what martin has described In terms of tone. I’ve the same bass. Mine made in 78 strung with chromes. Sustain is great also. The profile of neck is copied from the late 70’s fender precision (ash body maple fretboard) so is a profile B. Very comfortable to play. It’s so articulate for a Pbass. Sometimes a pbass with tone down can sound muddy and bassy but this bass is bassy and articulate. Chords sound beautiful on these. If a funk machine lol Bargain of a price as they are worth more. I got offered more than this for mine when someone played it. GLTWS.

    The way I see it, it's already been modified so why not keep going and improve it? That's what I did with my 66 mustang which turned out to be one of the best bass decisions I ever made!
  16. Obrienp
    I think I would start with one of the new Squier Broncos as the modding platform though. It seems a shame to be doing this to a genuine old Musicmaster but then, in the 70s and 80s it was probably cheap and unloved.

    What varies is the electronics of these early models. This one has the original Japanese electronics. Is it of worse quality? Hehe, I think the Japanese electronics are just as good as the others. Even much better.

    That's what matters to me. I don't want all my basses the same.

    Suits Wyman then.
  24. Chienmortbb
    Oh, and the thread is in the wrong place!
  25. Chienmortbb
    Having had 5h1t experience with Elixer acoustic strings, I would need my 12ft bargepole to touch the brand again.
  26. Chienmortbb
    Makes sense, if the flats are like the rounds, they look as though they have been aged 2 years in the California sun.
  27. reggieboomboom started following Vtt relic jazz bass. Blonde heavy relic work.
  28. reggieboomboom
    Here is this beautiful vtt relics jazz. Only just got it, but i had the chance to own something very special and had to do it. So this is up for grabs. Lightweight jazz body, entwistle pickups, northwest pots and loom. The neck is a vintage tele bass type, defintely a p bass profile. All in all its lovely thick sound, never planned to sell it but as i say, my dream p bass came up. £20 will cover shipping in a box, but no case or bag im afraid. Ill add more pics later

    Hi, Thanks a lot. M AUDIO HDH40

    I’ll email and ask. Occasionally there’s a server error that slips through. Usually quick to fix. Try the solutions I gave.

    Ive tried a few flats over the years. Not really my thing but I love how they feel. IT's were my fav's, I really liked the suppleness and smooth tone, although I still have a set of Chromes that go on every now and then when I want a change but can't afford any new gear lol. IIR I did try La Bella's years ago but found them a bit too old school for me, but I do like the sound of flats when others play them.
