Looks similar to what Steve Rothery does for Marillon - he's a guitarist though? Don't suppose it matters as long as you get the sound you want though, and to be honest [i]anything[/i] that detracts from the sartorial nightmare that is 1960's Australian TV is OK in my book.

Just bought an EBS unichorus from Basstard; arrived uber quickly and had really clear communication throughout. He gave me the option of a bank transfer which was absolutely kosher and 100% safe. Top bloke and all round good egg. He obviously looks after his kit too.

I've got flats on mine, and prefer to use a quality DI. I once had a BBC engineer completely ham-fist it by micing it up with an inappropriate mic. I was told "we don't use DIs". Sounded awful.

"This bass has never been gigged, only ever played at home (a smoke free one, not very rock and roll. I know)." Where does this chap live? Baghdad?

ooh mr Lee, do behave!

[quote name='Blademan_98' post='1178631' date='Mar 27 2011, 06:32 PM'] mine does that too (I thought it was broken!)[/quote] but to be fair, I've listened to more U2 than Mark King... there's a lesson there somewhere.

I did the bass mod (.68uf cap i think) and the TB mod by removing the buffer and replacing the switch. I also did the vocal mod, but used a variable resistor instead of a fixed one. This meant drilling a hole in the case, but I only paid £20 for it eBay.

Fair enough. Every boy needs a hobby...

It's Jaco's P Bass from that bloke on eBay...

I wouldn't want one though, they only do 'dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum' for 30 years.

I only want one choice, this: [attachment=75900:Rainbowpics.jpg] Mmmmmmm.

Not for me. It's a real 'guard's parcel' and has more knobs than an estate agents convention. I'll pass.
