Not convinced its genuine

would like to see a date stamp on the neck and body

does the serial number match up on the fender serial check site

https://serialnumberlookup.fender.com/lookup/

I Have the Rumble stage 800 combo and the 2 x 10 ext cab

The combo on its own is fine but obviously you get more power with the ext cab if you need it

it has all the amp and speaker modeling youl  ever need

it also has just about every effect pedal you can think of and all these can be edited to your own tastes

you can edit and store all the presets you want into different set lists either manualy or via the fender tone app on your mobile/ pc / tab etc

so you could realisticly have a different sound for every song saved into a set list.

also comes with a nice footswitch , built in tuner etc.

every thing you need all in one combo (and its light and portable)

Hi has anyone got a wiring diagram or picture of the control plate wiring

my tone pot has stopped working and ive discovered a  bare wire that is earthed on the tone pot but is not connected anywhere

any ideas

thanks

jay

thanks

The metal clip on my line 6 G30 transmitter broke off years ago

i use a square of  smooth velcro (the same as used on footpedals) on the transmitter and the opposite rough velcro  permanantly attached to my strap.

never had a problem and no awkward pouch to worry about.

Could be EB chrome's they also have blue silks 

Thanks for all the Replies

now i know to unplug the lead when not in use 👍

Its hanging on good quality guitar wall hanger, never had a problem with it falling off the Wall?

That’s pretty much my understanding of the matter. Not sure why anyone would want to leave it plugged in tbh.

Usualy just leave a Bass on my studio wall plugged in ready to pick up and play .

but its usualy a passive bass this Elite is a New one for me. just wanted to check if the power turns off with the switch

il unplug it from now on and stop the battery draining

Hi

Can i leave a Fender active Jazz Bass Plugged in

it has a active / Passive switch

is it ok to leave the jack lead in if its switched to passive

or does it still drain the battery if left plugged in the jack socket?

PS  Its The American Fender elite jazz model

Thanks

Jay

The Body looks to be contoured so its not a fender  MIJ 51 as they are a slab body.

looking for James Brown Bass Score

Funky good time

HOPE THIS HELPS

I have been using a Line 6 relay G30 for years without any problems, done theaters, indoor and large outdoor gigs , clubs, pubs etc

takes 2 rechargable AA batteries . built to last and a fair price . easy to set up and use.

the shure system is also great and has more features  but more expensive to do basicaly the same thing , all down to budgets and personal preference i guess

but either of these units will do the job for years without any problems

Maruszczyk flats are higher Tension than Thomastiks but lower tension than La Bellas

a good reasonable priced option for Flatwound  around £26 from bass direct.

https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MARUSZCZYK_Strings.html

Dont forget to check your truss rod adjustment if changing the tension of your strings as this will  change the action on your bass.

The La Bella Flats originals Original 52-73-95-110 are very high tension as mentioned by Ricky above

i have used these on p basses for 50's 60's genre music and they sound great .

but they are very stiff if your not used to high tension flats.

what gauge are the La bella strings? la bella deep flats are usualy very high tension.

Steve Harris rotosound 50 / 110 are a heavy guage flatwound if you prefer a higher tension.

I have owned a Hagstrom Viking and 2 warwick star basses in the past

both are excellent instruments,and i would recomend either if you are looking for a semi 

im currently using a Chowny 30" short scale semi which is great and these basses are good value for money

and worth considering along with the Hagstrom and warwick basses

i would be dubious about buying the Hagstrom with a damaged neck.

it may turn out out to be ok ,but its a big gamble.

Ive now written this out
