Mad as a box of frogs.
Scary as a dental check-up.
Love it.
Just don't use it for your lounge jazz project! -
You lucky bugger,Nigel.

I'd have the passive one if it had a tone control.Smaller body and single pup floats my boat.

+1 for the green machine.

If you've got a joint account then don't even bother buying one.Apparantly the money that the new bass costs could be put to "better" use on things like food,clothes,bills etc .
Reminding the misus that you are the principle wage earner is the fastest way to several weeks kipping on the sofa .
I resorted to pleading,crying,and even self harm.Once the stitches are out I'll be able to play the new bass I got 4 months ago....... -

The trouble with tort and maple folks is that the shape of the bass is all wrong! Here, I've fixed it for you:

Nice.What's the sound like? -
Never share a rehearsal room with band members who have eaten spicey food the night before.

MarkBass LMII in a camera case,Zoot 2X12.Case around neck,cab in one hand,bass in the other.
Bliss. -
My Status Groove;slim neck,small body,excellent pup,great sound.

But it's all the wrong way round!

Hold it up to the mirror! -

I'd go with earthenware rather than plastic, they look nicer.

I'll try the veal.I've heard that you're here all week.
Frost-proof terracotta,actually! -

J bass (as you so eloquently put it) stacked knobs are about £25 a pair for the real ones as used on USA '60's RI etc. the 'pots' are CTS concentric 250K volume & 500K tone.

Thanks.
When I've sourced the pup I may well drop you a PM about the wiring. -

About £9.50?

Badum tish!
And yes,that is about the going rate! -
I'm thinking of putting a MM type pup at the back of my P bass copy,and I want to fit J bass style stacked knobs.
What value should they be? -
I put flatwounds on and add a custom thumb-rest(for my own comfort),and move the rear strap button up(like a Spector).
-
I'm learning to live with the difference between the Butler and the Groove,and I'm becoming a total P-bass convert!
Eventually I will get some lighter tuners,in addition to the cream pup covers that I'm after.
As a bandmate of mine said "Moves some air,does'nt it!"..... -
My one
-
Played it last night and did a bit of strap adjustment.So far it has improved things a bit.
Still looking at lightweight tuners though. -

[size=4] Change the bass. There are thousands of Pbasses out there that sound as good or even better, and they balance properly[/size]

Always an option.
or try to find a Status Shark...... -
Used to have a copy of "Just Supposing" and IIRC "Never too late".
Great stuff,but I agree with other posters about Marguerita Time et al. -
Happy Birthday,Clarky.
Youre only as old as the bass you feel.
I hope you don't have any vintage Fenders in your collection ! -
Yep,try before you buy is the way to go.
I bought this straight off of the net,and now I've learnt my lesson. -

For £20 I like the Fender Flats.

+1 here.Good value and a good sound. -

I'm wondering if it's not the neck dive causing the OP a shoulder ache but maybe a bit of a trapped nerve. I've had that myself and it was, well, a bit of a pain in the neck!
[/quote]
All my nerves are free and liberated!I've been checking my posture in general,as well as how I stand when I play,and I tend to hunch over a bit when the bass is strapped on.
But when I straighten up the bloody thing still dives a bit!
I think I will keep hunting for light-weight tuners and try roughening the underside of the strap to help with grip.
