Interesting. I don't have much opportunity to try stuff in real life nowadays.

Thanks will give it that a try

Nerves are about audiences and this audience is going to be 120% behind you. It’ll be an amazing experience 👍

It's got the SGT circuit, with SVT and B-15 voicings. Supposedly sounds quite authentic - it has no valves, but that's not a big problem these days. I've not had the chance to try it firsthand yet though.

Brim Taika replied to Brim Taika's topic in Bass Guitars
Hi, @PaulThePlug, thanks for the reply. Wiring is all factory standard apart from whatever came with the pickups. -

Help with buzz from Tonerider pickup on Ibanez SRMD200 bass
Brim Taika replied to Brim Taika's topic in Bass Guitars
Hey, @jonno1981, thanks for the reply and, yes. It's the J pickup at the bridge. Buzz starts at 50% blend and increases as I go all the way over to the J. It sounds like a cut and boost. Both dials at are 50% in the recording. Boosting bass and cutting treble reduces the buzz. -

At 3-4k luck should not come into it though. I know that if I buy a mid-top range Warmoth neck and body, a Lindy Fralin PUP, a @KiOgon circuit, Gotoh hardware and spend some time on setup - £1000 in total including import duty - I'll get a great Precision bass 95% of the time. Frankly I find it f***ing amazing that with Fender costing 3-4x more it's still a 50% chance at best.... -

I disagreed with a decision to slow a song down to half speed. Said the other two were “mad if they saw that as an improvement of any sort”. Was uninvited to rehearsal that week. Then came the “we’re not sure you’re the right fit for this project, no reflection on your playing etc” - so I was really mature about it as a 40 year old bloke with approximately 30 years playing experience. Told them they’d wasted my time, and they could f*** off… And blocked them on all platforms. Because I’m a child. Incidentally heard a snippet of one of their recordings. Boring turd of a track so…

Presume wired parallel, I wonder if turning the J round would help... I'm a Passive Ibby Fan with 4 SRs Toneriders shouldn't need help in the Tone Department from a cheap pre. Quality VBT Loom? -
Then Sklar had best stop bullshitting.............. “It was put together by John Carruthers in 1973 with a Charvel alder P-Bass body I handpicked for resonance, a maple ’62 P-Bass neck I had that John reshaped to Jazz Bass dimensions, first-generation EMG-P pickups mounted in Jazz Bass position and flipped upside-down—which provided a more even sound—one of the first Hip- Shot D-Tuners, and a Badass bridge. In shaping the neck, John had to remove the frets. I saw some mandolin fret wire hanging in his shop and convinced him to try it, and we were thrilled with the results. It seemed to fit my style of using glissandos, and I had gotten tired of listening to railroad tracks clicking away; with a lightened touch it enables me to get an almost fretless sound.” But yeah, youre quite right - as ever, it's mostly in the fingers

Got mine from guitar guitar through today. Went into andertons and cancelled the other order off straight afterwards! Weird how gg got as few deliveries in before them but no matter. so far so good, ampeg svt sound is way more accurate than the sgt preamp i have. Finally might have something that approximates my knackered svt classic well enough!

I still have the rumble 200 I bought from you and really rate it. It’s not as loud as the 4x10 half stack I used to have (no suprises), but it’s a quarter the weight and sounds marvellous. If you’re not playing a big stage or with a daft metal drummer it’ll suit most folks more than adequately. -

I've never played a Lull so can't comment, but point taken Dan 👍 -
A guy in a band I used to play in - he was singer AND guitarist - had a rather 'het everyone, look at me' car. We were outside a venue waiting for him a year or so back and had got into conversation with some rather nice locals who'd come to see the gig. Anyway, said singtarist arrives in said motor and one of the guys watches him pull up and said "You'd have to be a right f***ing c*** to drive that" to which I said "That's our frontman" to which he said "Ha ha, nice one, you almost had me going". He didn;t stop apologising. Point being, Nissan Juke or any car in that general space is NOT OK
