    Double post!!

    Worth is a strange old concept... Some folks think that going to a gig with 50000 other people and paying £400 for the privilege is worth it. Others are happy to pay £500000 for a pokey flat in Willesden Green. I know a vastly overweight bloke who spent thousands on lightweight components for his Kawasaki while losing no weight of his own - it was worth it to him! And most bizarrely of all (arguably!), folks pay thousands for a personal number plate whose main two functions are to aid the police in recognising your motor, and to aid the public in determining the character of said number plate owner. At least with a high end vinyl set up you can attempt to appreciate your music in as much high fidelity glory as you feel it is worth! BTW, in my experience, a well put together and high quality turntable/arm/cart set up minimises surface noise of all kinds...

    I love vinyl and 100% agree with the above comments pointing out its flaws and the slight perversity of preferring it as a format. Surely it's good to throw these ideas around once in a while, all the more so in a setting ostensibly aimed at discussion and debate? Another current thread here has seen some ill tempered comments that were prompted by people noting some uncomfortable but ultimately potentially valuable legal issues re replica instruments. I like being encouraged to challenge my established views and think about things I might not initially be comfortable doing - big stuff and the less consequential stuff too.

    For some of us those pops, clicks, general surface noise and low frequency rumble just get in the way of the music. I suspect that those who still champion vinyl have never spent countless occasions arguing with record store employees about whether the scratches on your newly bought album and single were already on when you bought it (they were) or put there by your mis-handling. And you've never spent an afternoon going round all the local record shops looking to see if any of them had a copy of a particular album with the hole close enough to the centre for you not to feel seasick when you listened to it (there weren't any).

    I like that you avoided fully shielding the scratchplate and instead just ensured continuity at the key contact points — that’s a more targeted approach than lining everything with copper. That’s a really clever solution

    Gotta 'fess, the juxtaposition of your post right below @SumOne's did make me smile. He needs to be awarded the BCP^* accolade! You shouldn't have any trouble shifting your MXR if recent sales have been anything to go by!

    Thank you - I can't find a Bossa bass anywhere in the UK. I have another Bossa guitar that was Brian Monroney's (Tom Jones etc) and it's my #1 💛

    I have had Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage P alnico in my Precision parts bass before and even though I thought they sounded great, I thought i could find better. So I've tried multiple Fender, DiMarzio, Nordstrand, Seymour Duncan, Fralin etc etc pickups and I'm going back to the cheap KA. It has all the p-bass attributes you need. That's just my opinion and to my ears, but for the cheap price, why not give them a shot? You won't be disappointed. Just play with that tone knob and you'll find the sound you want. If not, tweak a little on your amp. 👍🏽

    16 years later......is anyone still rocking the Kent Armstrong Hot Vintage P? I have a set ready to go back in my parts precision. I've tried all sorts of different pickup brands "Fender, DiMarzio, Nordstrand, Fralin, SD etc and I still rate the cheap KA Hot Vintage P alnico my favorite. With flats, running through my Genz Benz heads and Mesa 215 cab....I'm in sonic heaven 👌🏽

    For sale is my TC Electronic GMajor-2 multi effects unit in fully working condition and updated to the latest firmware. Pictures show it in its usual rack home (rack not included). Although most of the standard effects are aimed at the guitarist I have found the compressor, gate, flanger, phaser and octaver (up and down) etc. to be very useable for bass. I can either factory reset before shipping or leave the presets I have created intalled. It has built in EQ, noise gate, compressor, reverbs, delays, wahs, octaver, tremolo, phaser, flanger etc each of which can be switched in / out from the front panel as required. I have been using this via my amps effects loop and found the compressor (and all the effects) just add their effect without changing the fundamental sound of the bass. Comes with original box and operating manual. You can use the unit in your DAW as well as with your bass / guitar etc. Patches can be easily selected from the front panel or attach a midi-pedal (I used a MidiMoose). There is also some Vyzor software you can download from the net which allows you to interface your PC with the GMajor-2 to edit and backup your user patches. I have also attached the GMajor-2 and Vyzor manuals below. tc_electronic_g-major_2_manual_english.pdfVyzor_G-Major2_Quick-Start.pdf I estimate UK shipping about £10 to £15.
