SOLD: Fender 'Cowpoke' Precision - needs some bits
ahpook replied to ahpook's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1349474755' post='1826997'] Is this MIM or MIJ/CIJ? I've always loved the look of cowpokes but never been brave enough to buy one! Cheers Alex [/quote] made down mexico way. it's a great player, just needs some suitable wiring. -
up for grabs here is my cowpoke precision, but it's missing something....can you see ? yes, it has no electronics, and here's why... when i first got the bass the active circuit was quite noisy, so with a bit of tinkering i managed to reduce that, but then it came back a year or so later, quickly followed by the circuit dying completely. so i took the active preamp out with the intention of wiring it as a passive p-bass. but time passed and despite a couple of kludge-togethers i never really got round to finding the right-sized pots. the body is quite thick usual-sized CTS-style pots won't fit. alpha long bushing pots like artec use will tho. i'm selling it as it is as the buyer might want to add a pickup switch (quite common with pacified cowpokes) or add different electronics to it. not much work it get it up and working again. overall the condition is good - the main wear has been round the control cavity where the finish is quite badly chipped (see photo) and a rattly G-tuner that i'm sure would just need dismantling and shimming with some card to quiet it down i'm selling the bass with the seymour duncan neck pickup i've added and the bridge pickup i bought it with (i think it's a kent armstrong) and also the black gotoh bridge. £200 [b]this is collection only from tottenham or i can meet up within reasonable train/tube distance[/b], PM me if that's what you fancy. we'd also need to talk about a case, cos i really can't spare one !

i'd think you'd be ok with a passive one - everything's going into, or coming out of, pedals so the impedances should be appropriate. i've used my looper pedal (from red onion pedals...a forerunner of bright onion perhaps ?) with large signal chains and never felt the signal quality suffered.

[quote name='simwells' timestamp='1349123202' post='1822221'] If it's passive blend loop pedal only then they'd be very straight forward to make if you're comfortable with a soldering iron or someone on here would likely be happy to make you one. Otherwise Bright Onion make one I think. [/quote] bright onion - that's the lot i was trying to think of !

seems a bit odd to have the valves on the outside tbh looks great tho, as does the bass head
-
beautiful - the bloke i was in a band with at school in leeds had one...it was the first 'proper' guitar i'd ever seen in the flesh they still make me swoon. -
you could do it with an LS-2 if you first split your signal with a simple switchable loop pedal bass into the looper to keep the clean tone and then put the LS-2 in the loop with the two effected chains running through that. hope that makes sense

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1349092382' post='1821565'] And on a Cadbury's Flake vibe... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwG414rpqmQ[/media] [/quote] well played that man incidentally, the tune to the flake advert was the 2nd tune i worked out by ear on bass. the 1st was the theme tune to 'question of sport'* [size=2]*not real sport, just sporting thought[/size]

only the funkiest, flakiest p-bass...

well, it's each to their own of course, but i've never got any mileage out of a jazz with both pickups on full - deffo sounds cool when you're playing on you own, but it's buried in a band. i only ever use the front pickup on my jazz (the bridge pickup soloed sounds awful to my ears) and it cuts through fine. mind you, my jazz was the 1st proper bass i ever had, so that's been my gold standard.

i've used my ebs microbass for many years to do exactly what the OP describes and also at practice studios where the amp you use may vary from one week to the next. it certainly removes one variable from the equation. live it also means you can leave the amp owner's settings as they are which will no doubt make them happy !

sold pending the usuals

had this for ages, and it was mounted, briefly, in a project bass but has mainly been in a box. 4-conductor wiring (tho i'll admit there's not much wire on it, say 5") and some scuffs to the top. 105 x 40mm and 24mm deep pay the postage and it's yours, say £3 ?

What makes a bass look really cool or really ugly ? Any candidates ?

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1348131889' post='1809633'] It's impossible to pin down, and my opinion is just as valid/invalid as the next person's, therefore I won't bore you or further muddy the waters with it. [/quote] plus the one. there's only one answer to the question - and that's personal taste. -
[quote name='pantherairsoft' timestamp='1347996436' post='1807935'] Nice pick of effects. The mess hurts my eyes though [/quote] thanks - the top 4 are my usual board - the splitter, distortion and reverb had to be shoehorned in. it was a good sound, but whether it would make much difference live is to be seen.
