  2. Hellzero started following What am I doing wrong with EMG pickup?
  3. Hellzero
    Look carefully at the official EMG diagram, you'll see what you're doing wrong! The pickup is entering the volume pot below, not above and you mismatched the position of the connectors on the tone pot!?! So the inputs and outputs are totally wrong. Double check everything before going any further.

    Cheers Bas. Yeah, if only Mark Ronson didnt go and mess it up 🤣

    Here's a slightly prophetic one I found at my parents the other day... A 16yr old me wearing a T-Shirt that says 'Reuben' on it. 22 years later we now have a 2yr old son called Reuben!

    Always wanted one of these, but my flash days have passed so will have to pass, don't want anyone shouting " hey gramps give us a tune on your banana" I'm sure this will be snapped up soon enough.

    You should have gone the whole hog and faked a Scouse accent.

    I think Santa might stretch to a wireless setup, I'm trying to convince him that I also need a new bass.....😂

    It's still hard to believe. Something about life I have learned the hard way is that far too often the worst things seem to happen to the best people. Mani always seemed like a very warm and friendly chap and his bass playing was so perfect for whatever music he was making. You can hear him progress as a player from the catchy riffs and grooves on the first album to The Second Coming. Songs like Love Spreads have got really busy bass parts with lots of hooks and turnarounds that drive the music along. Everything in life is a time and a place, and, at a certain time in a particular place, for a while the Stone Roses were the most important band in the world. Mani was a big part of that.

    Those Freeway switches are fantastic too. Modern P neck, great looks, loads of switching/wiring options including traditional J options. I can’t believe I didn’t play it at a Bash! Too busy talking!

    Sounds like I should keep quiet about loving D'Addario Pre Steels then... Tried a few different brands of Stainless Rounds, and the Pro Steels simply sound better on the bass than anything else I've tried.
  17. Lozz196
    Def different now, whilst they were sorting my new bass out they just said go & have a wander, so I did, unaccompanied, all over the shop. They’ve some great stuff there.

    I've been tempted to do Piano lessons and grades to help have a target but worry I'd fall in to that 'I want to play, not do exams' mindset. Overall, do you think it has been worth it vs just having piano lessons? I did grade 1 when I was 10 years old and haven't had any lessons in the 35 years since then - but I have been playing a lot over the last couple of years (YouTube and 'simply piano' app lessons, lesson books, and the theory I've picked up from Bass) and I've started playing keys a bit with a band so reckon it is at least time I had some proper lessons, and perhaps do grades.
  29. Chris2112 started following As new BassLab L-Bow V from October 2000 in Maserati Yellow
  30. Chris2112
    Absolutely magnificent. I have a 2001 L-Bow and it truly is one of the most remarkable and best sounding instruments I've ever played. It's the pinnacle of the 'modern' bass for me.
  31. Owen started following STELLATONE TONE STYLER BASS 6 - *SOLD*
  32. Owen
    Phew!

    A really good setup. I bought a 75 reissue AV Fender Jazz Bass, from Bass Direct, and it was set up to perfection.
  34. Baloney Balderdash
    It is though. And they downgraded the tuners to keep the same cost while upgrading the electronics with a pickup switch and the associated extra labour.
  35. HeadlessBassist
    Sounds close to a modern C Precision based on the '63 necks with the 1.625" nut width. They are very comfortable necks. Love that Korina Burst, too.
  36. Misdee
    Seriously, some of those basses are so heavy (upwards of 12 pounds) they are painful to play even sitting down. They hurt your leg and cut off the circulation! The reissue Gibson did a few years ago was a bit of a travesty. The only thing it had in common with the original basses was the overall shape. Not surprising considering what a major undertaking it would be for Gibson to try recreate the Moog electronics ect.
