I got a Hartke 3500 4X10 combo. Loud and clean enough for just about anywhere, and fits easy in the boot of a Vectra.

Having played her for the first time in ages last nite after taking the pics, it appears that at least one of the pots isn't doing anything, and it's the one top right in the pic... Will query further[/quote] Thanks for that, Looks like one of the tone pots, is the wire broken off the capacitor ?

Do it, its a paying gig ! Aan as has been said, if you aint playing.... I got nothing against tribute acts, covers bands, whatever. better than kareokes and discos. What about tributes to dead bands/artistes. Dr Feelgood - for example - still gigging, same material, but with no original members, is that a tribute band operating under false pretences all over the world ? What about tributes to bands that only did material written by others, cant think of an example, but you get my drift ? Its all good. I always said I wouldnt do covers and workie clubs when I first started, done both in the end. Wouldnt wanna do workies again though.

I have a SB 301 4 string passive that I bought around 1990/91 Just dug it out, aint used it for years, and been reminded why, it plays great, really great. but it sounds rubbish. I'm not sure if its down to the light weight, ie. the wood, or the pickups. Anyone on here tried fitting decent pickups to one ? I'd rather keep it passive. I can remember trying it wired similar to a Jazz bass- without the pan pot, but it didnt improve it. so if anyone has a wiring diagram for how it used to be that would help as well lol.

Recently built up a Precision with a Jazz neck, all with bits from ebay collected over a couple of years. Used some pickups Squier I think, that were lying around and was sorely dissapointed. Have now fitted these; [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kent-Armstrong-Precision-Bass-Alnico-Hot-Pickup-/150480556590?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item230957122e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kent-Armstrong-Preci...=item230957122e[/url] Theyre great, it sounds loads more like an old Fender than my 91 Mex Precision does. And for the price, well worth a go I reckon.
