    I’m keen to try the link out to a little valve amp I have and record a clean from the EC1 and an overdriven tone from the amp.

    A single decent instrument for me. Buy it used and it will keep its re sale value. This is useful if you need to change basses for different projects etc. I don’t get the massive love for Harley Bentons. I totally agree that for their price point you can’t go wrong. I’ve tried a couple and was surprised and impressed, but not so much that the things that made them a budget instrument wouldn’t get on my nerves eventually.

    Would you happen to know a Nova Scotian bass player called Jamie Gatti per chance? Or Bruce Dixon?

    I bought this over 5 years ago and used it with my 60's band in conjuction with my Ric and P bass. Great bass for that genre...or any genre! Somewhere way back when ( I was told the bass player for Lonny Donegan did this in 1972) he replaced the neck with a 1959 Senator that was kicking around. Of course I only have what the previous owner told me, but he's a reliable source. So there is some key pedigree to this bass as when Lonnie toured in the early 70's his bass player used this bass. Bass plays well and pick up and pots all work. Sounds fantastic. Bridge is a replcement and not original.Comes with new set of tuners (only installed as the original ivory broke on it. (It's included as well. Serial number 1531 Because this bass has such an abundance of mojo, it's going for cheap! Really don't want to ship this, but could. Happy to meet up near South coast or half way to London. Headed to Plymouth over the weekend May 25th if anyone down there is interested. Moving and this needs to go to a good home.

    Stripped this bass body as I can't stand thick Poly. It's all ready for a light sanding and nitro refinish. If I can find my NW guitars daphne blue rattle can, I'll throw that in as well. Body is Classic Series MIM P BAss.

    Seconded. Brilliant amps, very versatile , and more like a powerful 750 watt amp in my opinion. this is an amazing bargain, dont be put off by the brand name, its a quality amp

    If it's a passive model, each coil goes to a separate volume pot. Otherwise, I'd go parallel into an active preamp or series with no preamp

    Where are you located?
  25. Sarlscharisma
    Saw them a few years ago and that bass of his sounded phenominal. I had the ES-335 and can agree that it is a superb bass.

    Stunning - As the OP said, one of the finest Precision shaped objects money can buy.
  27. tommorichards
    I'd probably try a dye designed for use on wood instead of leather, if it were me that is.

    For anyone who hasn't seen my Sadowsky thread. This is an update of my earlier post of the the pickups only on page one of here. My mate finished it Wednesday, and I played it tonight at rehearsal - will gig it tomorrow night. So it's 3 Nordstand Fat Stacks, still the Sadowsky pre, and pan pot replaced with a five way rotary - ala Strat style (rear, rear+middle, middle, middle+front, front).
  29. tommorichards
    Couple things I'd check first. Kept the gain low and use the master volume to avoid distortion, as those buttons will increase certain frequencies and push the preamp. Second, is get some contact cleaner and spray it into the gap around the button while pressing each one in and out about 20-30 times to loosen any dirt that may be affecting the signal. Third, do the same with the contact cleaner on the volume controls while twiddling them to again remove any debris. Question, what are you settings when this happens, or does it happen at any volume?

    Tonight’s gig, social club, lounge, typical social club crowd. But tonight I finally had a tone I was happy with both on stage and FOH with both the fretless and the EUB. Spent a bit of time last night tuning my FOH tone and it paid off. Lots of compliments on the mix too so I’m off to my bed a happy lad. Obligatory rig shot 😎

    I can actually remember when Capri Orange was a current Fender colour back in the late 70's/early '80's. My local music shop had a Jazz Bass this colour and another in very vibrant yellow. Beyond my pocket at the time, but those were better days than now, that's for sure. Looks like a smashing bass. GLWTS.

    If I was just playing and recording at home, one nice bass would probably appeal. As soon as any gigging at all was involved, though, if the only way I could have a backup was to have all HBs then I guess they're what I'd be using. Multiple HBs could be a possibility if I was in (or a frequent dep for) a number of cover or tribute bands, and to get the various different looks right I needed multiple recognisable shapes and styles of bass. Of course, in this deliberately restrictive scenario I'm granting that every HB turns up 'cheap yet playable' as stated in the OP, but in reality that's not been my personal experience so I'd be aiming for 6 instead of 8 and saving some money back for sundries and spares to get them in shape.

    If there are plans in the works then I hope it means Grabbers and Rippers are on the way too......
