  1. Technically yes. You’d need some serious power rated components to do it, but in theory it’s more than possible.
  2. Can of worms..... The best Rat style (sharp, edgy distortion) is the Blowerbox Idiotbox. 2 band EQ, no loss of low end and a really aggressive sound. It'll also do low gain really well too. DHA VT1 are great, but the ones with the EQ are even better.
  3. They're everywhere in solid state gear - common opamps (TL072/ TL074) are JFET based chips, so I would imagine the majority of solid state preamp will have them in.
  4. I reckon #1 is a vintage P and #3 is a modern P, #2 and #4 are solo'ed bridge pups from a J style, and I think #5 is a MM?
  5. Shakin' all over - Trad.
  6. Nice! Lovely turret wiring too.
  7. I hope it's a good one.
  8. I honestly can't remember the last timeI used mine in anger.
  9. Nutty - Thelonious Monk
  10. Just tried these on my P, but it's just not the sound I'm after, so moving them on. Cut for a Fender style 4-in-line bass with 34" scale. Strings and silks in excellent condition. Price includes P&P to UK mainland.
  11. Nah, it's not a look that I'd be happy to sport down at the Dog and Duck; what shoes would go with that? In its defence though, as an SX instrument it'll play beautifully.
  12. Sansamp Paradriver is much more versatile as a preamp.
  13. I've got the same pickup added onto 2 of my Jazz basses - really versatile piece of kit.
  14. buy a cheap digital vernier calliper (about £8 or so) from Aldi or Amazon etc, and measure them accurately - with string gauge differences we're talking in thousands of an inch at times, so it's good to have an exact figure.
  15. Excellent choice. EHX make my favourite phaser (small stone) and chorus (small clone), but I’m not really a fan of any of their other stuff.
  16. Phone-y - Blondie
  17. Shiny shiny shiny boots of leather - Velvet Underground
  18. Barber Ann - the Beach Boys.
  19. A Forest - the Cure
  20. tits. - Sparks
  21. In Les’ defence, they’re playing a Rush album from start to finish! 😄
  22. Also something to factor in is the inclusion of GarageBand with every Mac OS. granted, it’s fairly basic and idiosyncratic, but if you don’t need to factor in buying extra software or licensing then you’ve got a couple of hundred extra to spend on a higher spec machine.
  23. Ms Ellis-Bextor’s cover of ‘take me home’. Luvverly
  24. I'd second the Mac option. Boatyard (I think it's called) do refurnished Apple stuff with warranties, so they might be worth a look.
