GK RB1001 - not that heavy granted, but loud / portable / great tone shaping / easy to maintain etc etc. 700 watts into 4 ohms should see to most situations.................

Actresses????

Just considering the active or passive options. Any thoughts please?

Last few years we've done 'Please come home for Christmas' (Charles Brown/Eagles/BonJovi). I've done 'Run Rudolph run' (Chuck/Keef) too, little known but fits our band/audience well.

Hi Geoff, thanks for your reply. The P-bass Lyte Deluxe pickup (as in your pic) won't fit my Lyte without removing some wood. Just wondered if say the Dimarzio was compatible with the rest of the stuff in my bass so I don't also have to replace the front pickup and active preamp. Anyone know the impedance of standard Precision Lyte pickups please?

Am considering changing the pickup(s) on my 96 P-bass Lyte. They sound great, but the rear (jazz) unit seems to collect a lot of unwanted noise in certain venues we play, so was thinking of swapping this for a dual coil jazz sized pickup that fits the cavity with no routing. My options are a)Ideally just replace the rear pickup b)Replace both pickups with a matched set such as EMG etc , maybe with a new preamp/controls too if needs be. So what I need to know really is whether the rear pickup can successfully be replaced whilst retaining the existing front pickup and controls/preamp etc. Also anyone know the spec of the pickups and suitable replacements (passive or active). Let me know if you've had experience of doing this to yours. Many thanks in advance.

Aaah, ok - sorry!

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the most recent pages (nearly 7 of them) in the 'Items Wanted' section have not seen any replies? Am guessing this is because people who are n't registered to sell on here are unable to answer?

Superb - great post, thanks!

In our country band we have a weekly Thursday night residency. Usually in the first set, we have a feature called 'its not country but....' where we play something (usually a pop/rock song) that's well known but in a country style. Most have worked well - recent ones being 'Valerie', 'Don't you want me baby', 'Fat bottomed Girls'. As in previous post, songs are there to be altered if you feel like it and it works. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OF4NOdbBLo

Some versions of the Hohner B2A (Steinberger design) have an XLR out. Never used it on mine though............

The Time Jumpers featuring Vince Gill on a great George Strait song - love it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_vCqt65HA0[/media]

One of the greats. RIP Lou.

Paul sorted me out with some knobs for my Fender P.Lyte. Thoroughly decent chap, he's what makes BC the great community it is.

A fabulous instrument in the right hands, nothing like it really. Buddy Emmons and Lloyd Green were the governors for a long time, although now Paul Franklin seems to be generally regarded as one of the best. Look out for his playing with Vince Gill in The Time Jumpers. I'm fortunate to play with a great steelie, Dave Holley. He plays with my country band sometimes, and the steel really adds another dimension. Other UK players of note include the aforementioned BJ Cole, Gordon Huntley, Melvin Duffy and Gerry Hogan (of Hogans Heroes with Albert Lee).

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1381911496' post='2245173'] I may have some kicking around - I put a J East U Retro in mine and have the old ones 'somewhere'. I'll have a look and get back to you - if I find them you can have them. [/quote] That's great Paul, thanks. Crossing my fingers!

Thanks. Did have a look at their site, but will get in touch with them to check. Cheers, Pete.

Anyone know where I can source some of these please? Think they were also used on other MIJ Fender late 80's era. They are black plastic with a Fender 'F' logo on the top 'cap' bit, which usually go awol pretty quickly! Any help much appreciated, cheers.
