    [quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1468488029' post='3091221'] Consider a banana which costs double what another banana costs - does the more expensive banana taste twice as good? [/quote] In my Tesco it does. Brown and bruised Vs Nice and Yellow - no contest. Sorry, I'm not helping am I?

    [quote name='Trueno' timestamp='1468487786' post='3091217'] No [/quote] There's your answer. There is a difference, but it's not massive. If you don't play a lot of open stings then the difference isn't £50 massive. I have a fretless Streamer. It has a plastic JaN3. I also have a brass one in the draw ready to go on it. The plastic one isn't broken, so I've not rushed to change it yet. My other 3 Wicks have brass ones, because the nuts were broken.

    Also, surely if your pub-band also demands "simply" pumping out 8ths through an overdrive pedal this also reduces the need for subtle improvements in tone. So then it all comes down to comfort and the look.

    [quote name='tonybyrne1' timestamp='1466764689' post='3078532'] Thank you. I'm looking to purchase my first serious bass in this price range. Its a toss up between a MIM Jazz or Warwick. Having real trouble deciding. Have tried a few jazz's but no Warwicks. The Warwick's look so well built and i love the growl. Was hoping you were basesd in London although Oxford is not that far. The versatilty of the Fender is a real pull for me, warm tones & slapabilty. Not sure how the Warwick fits these critera. Trying to find one locally to play...Its active right! but does it have a passive mode as well. Sorry I'm not an expert on guitars. [/quote] Hi Tony, London is a big place, so I don't know where you are, but if you'd like to take a short trip up the M11 I've got 3 Warwicks you can try out. I also have a couple of other basses y you can try out.

    LOL, I know the feeling. I'm selling a Thumb. I've got the saddles adjusted out to 19mm, but it's on the neck that I find I fret the wrong strings and it all falls apart. Somehow I can groove on a 4, but not on a 5.. GLWTS

    [quote name='Chaos Daveo' timestamp='1468357367' post='3090450'] This 100 percent, my advice for what it's worth make sure your rigg and bass are to a similar standard. Try as many basses amps and combinations as you can, make friends with your local music shops, they can be invaluable in helping you land on a bargain. [/quote] When I try a bass I take my amp with me. You need to have a "known" entity in the chain.

    If you're any where near me, I have a Thumb 5 BO you can try.

    [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1468252030' post='3089583'] Cheers chaps I'm never far away & probably no need to send me the bits, a solderless wiring kit means you can change/fit new pick ups in minutes, [i][b]with no burnt fingers [/b][/i] [/quote] Now where's the fun in that!?!

    I once put a switch on a bass to switch between 0.1 and 0.047 capacitors. Both were orange drop caps. I didn't notice any real difference between the 2. As I understand it, the difference will mainly be in the amount you need to turn the pot to achieve a reduction in the treble with the filtering. I guess if you were to attach an oscilloscope to the circuit, the difference in the waveform may be considerable, but IMHO, it's not a biggie. That said, I mostly keep the tone wound right open. So if I built a bass I possibly wouldn't have a tone control at all. So maybe I'm not the person to ask.

    PayPal payment these days can also be by "pay friends" to do it with no fees either way.

    http://www.wood-finishes-direct.com/product/fiddes-wax I would use a good clear wax polish. Its probably similar to Axwax, but a lot cheaper by volume.
