Popped up the road to buy Gerry's Bass Big Muff from him last night - what they all said ^ great guy, and a pleasure to do business with.

If you like the Jazz shape, get a Jazz. If your bandmates want you to get more of a p-bass type thump out of it, wiring in a series-parallel switch is a fairly straightforward modification. Running the Jazz pickups in series gives a passable impression of a P. Alternatively, if you're looking for a Squier with a Jazz body and a P pickup, the Frank Bello signature has it. Just a shame it also has a not-terribly-U2-like big ol' skull on it!

I had a BLX-80 years ago, and never got on with it. Traded it in for something else, which ended up being a complete dog of an amp*. Wish I hadn't bothered, because the only pleasure the dog of an amp gave me was when I tossed it in the skip after it completely gave up the ghost.

Cheers - they're really nice pickups!

Very nice! How much did the Chi-Sonics cost, if you don't mind me asking?

They often get a vintage jazz in but they tend to go quickly![/quote] There was a sunburst '70s Jazz in the window when I was past at lunchtime on Monday.

looking at getting a vintage looking hollow body?
wingnutkj replied to 0175westwood29's topic in Bass Guitars
I played an Epi JC in a music shop yesterday. The feeling was of a really solid bass, but I found the neck was a bit too wide and chunky for me. Got some good tones out of the pickup - there's enough variety in the varitone switch settings to keep things interesting. How vintage-looking are you looking for? As a result of the trip to the shop yesterday, I'm going to be selling a couple of basses to make room for a new arrival, and one of them is a Yamaha BEX4 semi-hollow in blueburst. Lovely instrument, vintage-looking, with some decidedly non-vintage features - 3 band EQ, piezo and magnetic pickups, flame top. Pix and more info will be in the For Sale section when I get round to it... -
[s][b]Spirit Folio Notepad Mixer (rare purple edition)[/b] - £45 posted within the UK - inc PSU, possibly a manual, but no box.[/s] This is a great little high-quality compact mixer. Specs are: 10 inputs (4 mic inputs, 2 stereo inputs plus stereo effect return) 2-band EQ on all 4 mono channels Post-fade aux send on every input Switchable +48V phantom power Stereo inputs with switchable RIAA pre-amps for turntables 2-track tape return Peak and VU metering Headphone output This one's a bit unusual because it's purple instead of grey, if that matters to you, and is marked "DND" in permanent marker on the back, so if those are you're initials, you're sorted! Full working order, complete with original UK power supply, and possibly the manual if I can find it. No box, but I'll make sure it's securely packaged and bubblewrapped when posting. [s][b]Marshall DRP-1 direct recording Preamp[/b] - £20 posted within the UK - no box or manual, crackly pots[/s] This is more aimed at guitarists. It's an oddity from just before the days of digital modelling amps. The DRP-1 was Marshall's attempt to let you record big noisy Marshall amp sounds without a big noisy Marshall amp. Did the job really quite well, but appeared shortly before Line6 started churning out things to make your guitar sound almost but not quite entirely unlike tea. Good selection of controls, plus preamp, line and headphone outputs (there's a cabinet simulator on the line output but not the preamp output). The pots are a bit crackly and could do with a good clean, hence the price. More Pictures: Folio PSU: Is you name David Niven's Dad? Are you in Duns N Doses, the perpetually cold-ridden GnR tribute band? Marshall back:

More pedals I'm not using and want rid of. These are better suited for guitar, rather than bass, but if anyone's interested in them, or has a tame guitarist who might be interested in them, let me know: [b]Sessionette SP75 overdrive/distortion[/b] - £50 posted within the uk - box and manual You don't see many of these around - basically it's the pre-amp section of a Sessionette 75 amp in a little metal box. Good selection of knobs to play with, and a great selection of sounds that come out when you play with them. There's a switch which puports to make single coils sound like humbuckers, in a kind of almost-but-not-quite-entire-unlike-tea kind of way. It's basically a switch to fatten things up a bit. Anyway, the pedal's in mint condition, never been gigged, and comes with box and manual. SOLD [s][b]DOD FX84 Milk Box compressor[/b] - £35 posted within the UK - box, manual, stickers [/s]SOLD I've never figured out what to use it for, but it's a compressor, and it compresses just fine. It's from the '90s, but thankfully the controls have sensible names, unlike some DOD pedals of that era. It's been at the back of the cupboard since I got it, and is in mint condition. Comes with the box, manual and stickers (the box has a bit of a rip in it).

Hi all, A couple more pedals I want rid of: [b]Zoom BFX-708 bass effects processor[/b] - £25 posted within the UK - box and manual Entry-level multi-fx from Zoom, with built-in expression pedal. All your usual presets, plus a few drum patterns, but nothing that'd trouble Roland. Pretty much mint condition because it never made it out the bedroom. Comes with box and manual. Read all about it here: [url="http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/bfx708_gfx707/"]http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/bfx708_gfx707/[/url] [s][b]Electro-Harmonix Small Stone[/b] - £30 posted within the UK - wooden box[/s] SOLD This is a late '90s/early '00s black-cased version, made in Russia. Full working order, and comes with the original big wooden box. Classic swooshy phazer, with colour switch to go between "shhwwwwwsshhhh" and "ppphhwwcchhhhcchhwwwppp" and rate knob to go between slow swooshing, the chorus-like sweet spot and whwhwhwhwh insanity. Good condition - the photos make it look like the top is scratched, but that's just dust.

Fulltone Bass Drive (non-mosfet) for sale
wingnutkj replied to wingnutkj's topic in Effects For Sale
[quote name='GazWills' post='922916' date='Aug 12 2010, 04:41 PM']Dude, one question, what have you replaced it with?!?!?[/quote] Despite the quality of the Fulltone, I've found it's not quite the right tone for me, and I usually end up going for my old faithful Big Muff (black Russian version) when I need to dirty things up. It dirties things up a lot! I've also got a Guyatone BB-X Bass Driver for those occasions where the Muff is too unrefined. The Fulltone's a fantastic pedal, but I'm just not using it. -
