  2. Belka started following Pickups for ‘74 Jazz Bass
  3. Belka
    I'd agree with Lozz, the '74 Pure vintage sound great. They are a bit funny in one respect though - the neck is hotter than the bridge pickup. Normally it's the other way round. I did notice on Fender's website recently that they must have altered this, as the specs now read that the bridge is hotter than the neck, but this could be an error - probably worth contacting Fender to find out for sure. Another option could be the '66 Pure Vintage. These are wound less hot than the '74, with a value a lot more typical of an early '70s J than the '74s, so they may be actually more authentic despite the name. Fender J pickups started out at around 8k in the early '60s with the black bottomed ones. In the mid '60s they dropped down to between 6-7k and stayed around there until the late '70s, when they started creeping back towards 8k again. You can always pay more and go for Duncans, Fralins, Lollars, Brantley etc, These all sound great but are generally quite a bit hotter than real vintage mid 60s/70s pickups; they're a lot closer to 1962 spec, but if you want punchier tone and more mids they could be the way to go.
  4. Stub Mandrel started following Which Octaver Pedal???
  5. Stub Mandrel
    I find the Joyo XVI excellent, it's polyphonic and very responsive so doesn't have the glitchiness of some of the older pedals... which may be oart oftheir appeal for you.
  6. Higgie started following Which Octaver Pedal???

    Broughton Subsonic gets my vote. All the best bits of an OC2 with some upgrades.

  11. Stub Mandrel started following Hello from Consensus, Warwickshire. Analysis paralyis over choice of first bass
  12. Stub Mandrel
    Choose the one that feels nice and makes you want to pick it up and play it. Ideally, buy from a good shop that will do a set up for you.

    Can you run a 4 ohm extension cab with this combo, or will the amp only take a second 8 ohm cab?

    This sale is for an almost new Line 6 Helix LT. It was bought new by me in December 2025 direct from Yamaha music. It has only been used at home and is in virtually immaculate condition. The screen still has its protective film in place and the unit is in full working order. It is fully complete with power cable, USB cable, cheat cards/manual, Allen key, and all of the original packaging that it was delivered with. The glossy out cover is not included as it must have been removed by Yamaha music prior to posting. I am happy to post tracked and insured, with Royal Mail or you are welcome to collect from me in Leicester. UK sales only please and payment through eBay. Thanks for looking

    Andy, should I put a cloth over the fretless board to prevent burning and should it be damp in this case also, the dowel holes, I can only really do through the nut slot, that's right isn't it?

    My research was over several weeks, mostly online. In the end, I suggested to the guitarguitar Birmingham branch staff to widen my scope/ budget. I knew almost the moment I tried the Lakland that it was the one to start with

    Absolutely love the tone you are getting, you are about six months ahead of me on the double bass trail and I have enjoyed your videos over the last year and a half of my journey. Well done Jonny
