Warmoth tort is one of the best looking ones...nice and dark, but not sure about it fitting a mij 75

Don't say things like that! Don't. Need. Another. Jazz. Bass

That cherry burst jazz at far east guitars is stunning. When I bought from Ishibashi a few years back I was torn between one of these and a CAR jazz, went for the CAR. Either way, Japanese Fenders are cracking...might be expensive, but I'd take a Japanese one over a USA Fender anyday (can of worms now officially opened!)

This looks like it's going to be great! I love a good build/tinkering type thread! Great work on the surf green strat too. One day I think I'll build myself a surf green Jazz, painting it myself.

JMJ'S been selling off loads of his collection in the past few months on ebay. He has (had?) some really amazing gear. Lucky chap.

I used to run a DHA EQ Drive something or other at 9V off a Johnny Shredfreak power supply. No problems at all. Didn't notice much difference in tone, I seem to recall I needed to add a little more volume at 9v, but there was always plenty on tap. Can't see it being a problem. Dave's pedals sound great imo.

Despite having one of these, I still look on the bay for them as they used to be very rare. They seem to turn up quite regularly now. A week to go on this one, and already at £150.

I love that headstock shape. Classic, but looks just ever so slightly more sharp and refined. Great work.

Ste - you've finally done it...you've got too much Matamp!

I've had an AD200B and a Bassman 135. Both are absolute cracking amps. I think I preferred the 135 when it was cranked as opposed to the Orange. The 135 really roared at volume, but was still nice and fat. The Orange is equally great, but they do sound different, to me anyways. I think the Oranges pre-amp gain could be a little sizzly and a little too trebly, whereas the 135 was nice at any setting. If I had the choice, I'd get a Matamp...or the 135 again. Biggest issue I had was that I wasn't gigging at the time I had both, so running them at 1 on the master volume really didn't allow them to shine. Crank them with a drummer and 2 Marshall's and you're ready to rock.

Any update on this Rumple? I do love a good build thread!

Bought my old muff clone off Ste. Easy peasy, thanks mate.

It can definitely do a creamy bluesy tone, but I found it did break up relatively easy. Crank the master volume and keep the gain low to get a big fat bassy pillowy sound. I love that overdriven sound, so I did the opposite, cranked the gain to about 2 o'clock and used master to taste. Although they're rated at 200watts, there's quite a bit of discussion on the net about them coming in under this...maybe about 160watts, so you're not going to get massive volume unless you've got plenty of speakers.

Just got a new Boschma case, it's mint. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/2011-12-09175102.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/2011-12-09175044.jpg[/IMG]

You explained that a lot better than I did! Much appreciated Crez.

That's the jaspers. So does it go... them square bits, then the rack rail, then the screws? Does that even make sense!? Hah

HI chums, My good good ladyfriend has got me a Boschma rack case today for Christmas. Seeing as she started wearing the coat I got her last year, before Christmas Day, I figured I'm going to put the amp in it today and enjoy it early! I digress...I've never had a rack case before so not entirely sure how things fit in them. I've got 12 screws and 12 brass square-type things, they look like these...

Do the square bits clip into the rack, or just go behind the rack rails, and the screws secure them? A youtube video would be most helpful! Thanks in advance Rack owners!

Beautiful. That colour green looks a lot better than I thought it would be. Lots of pictures during the assembly please!!

Ahh Matamp. Good call. What are the cabs underneath that amp in the picture? Are the 2x10's? I'll own a GT200 one day...one distant day!

Hi Jack, Hope you're good? Me and the bass are doing great thanks. Not a hint of wanting to sell it, which must be some kind of record for me! Hope I'm not gushing here, but just want to say that Jack provided a great service and the bass was assembled, setup and tinkered with to my liking for a very reasonable price and I think it was all done in less than a week. Any North West people needing work done should check him out. Cheers again Jack

I've had a few Warmoth parts in the past few years, including both showcase and custom made things, and despite some minor hesitations about what the final product will be like, it has always exceeded my expectations. If it were me, I'd wait and be surprised. That's part of the fun for Warmoth IMO. Best of luck with the project!

When I had an AD200B, I tried the Terror and it does get a similar sound and tone, but the heft and brute force of an AD200B just tips it for me. If you're looking for a valve-ish amp with great sound, you wouldn't go wrong with a Terror Bass.
