Mind you - if this Friday is delivery day then Tony should have them in stock today or tomorrow. Hopefully he can tell us.

I don't mind that. The alternative is doing the HMRC paper work manually yourself and getting lost in millions of individual paper applications per day, and it taking HMRC more than a month to send you the calculated vat so then you can pay, and then another month before the holding storage is authorised to release it to you. It would be hideous.

I love that. I thought the synths were ace. My GAS is engorged again.

Usually it's about 25% all in. The Vat is applied to the item cost AND the shipping cost, and there's a small element of import tax as well (about 3% IIRC)

I read it as this week too.

Anyone got any good videos of these in action?

I'm going to be annoying. Helix! It does it all. And reamping is so damn easy.

How long have you had it?

dafuq did I just watch?

Even this? I might get fired if I go full drive!

We've just added a latin thing to the set list - so as a wild guess I'm saying a lot of mistakes! I've never played latin before.

I have a rehearsal on Saturday morning. So if it arrives on Friday I might give it a run out then. Dug's tone will work in a 25 piece big band jazz ensemble, won't it?

I’d love to try one. dont think I could bring myself to spend that much on such a tiny thing though.

You’re only saying that because he’s about 7ft tall!

Is that the ranty weirdo chap?

Skindred- Big Tings. loving it.

34. Low B tone is more about the quality of construction than scale length. My 34 inch Marleaux has a deeper clearer B than any bass I’ve ever heard, even when I’ve had Dingwalls.

Holy Necro Thread Batman!

Who mentioned me an deleted it? Conspiracy!!!,!,!!!!!

These guys have done one for me. Looks good too http://www.originalscratchplates.com/

Not all jazz pickups are the same size. Some Fender's have a slightly longer bridge pickup, so the aftermarket makers usually do 2 options - the Fender sizes and then every body else's size. Some makers wind the neck and bridge pickups the same, some have different windings depending on the position.

Or, swap the tuners to black, leave the bridge and knobs but swap the scratchplate for a white pearl one. I liked that look on Newsted's jazz bass.

Chrome bridge and knobs. And swap the scratchplate - still for a black one, but with the Black / White / Black construction so you get the outline. Would be perfect then.

Choice of preamp is very personal. Some are super clean, some give a warm or dirty edge. Best you can do is listen to demos where they are playing the same sort of music you play. There are plenty of very good choices - East, Darkglass, Glockenklang, Aguilar, Nordstrand, EMG etc etc Some work with all pickups, others (some of the EMG models) only work with their pickups. What pickups are you going to install? Is the current preamp a 2 band or 3 band? How many control knob holes has it got? Do you care if more holes might be needed?
