J, looking at it now its back together, if it were mine, I'd put black screws in the PG and black V+T knobs with a blk nut on teh jack and leave that white PG.... It looks pretty.....! Overall ...... Very well done on your 1st build.!

And to put the other perspective on it.... my guitarist has played his PRS 22 Custom through my Mesa bass amp (gently) and it sounded pretty good too..... Although as above, you wind it up and it'll complain in a *very* expensive way....

No I dont know much either but that one is mighty purdey.....

I believe you wil struggle with that one. Unless there is a kindly Roland tech on here that will copy one for you. Roland will I very much doubt release a circuit diagram for a current model as they will cry 'intellectual property rights' and just tell you to go to a Roland authorised tech.... and you know what they're going to say.....

and I believe they have them at.... Axes r us [url="http://www.axesrus.com/"]http://www.axesrus.com/[/url]

[quote name='Ham fisted Bass' post='200981' date='May 17 2008, 12:26 PM']A point of note: A fault would suggest that it was working fine and then through component failure or whatever a fault developed. My point is that the early versions of this Amp - through reasons of poor electrical engineering at 'the home of tone' were second grade to start with. A wider point is Mesa Engineering's disappointing responses - So to all of us in this 'exclusive' club (Oh dear) [/quote] So you got a bad one.... So your (possibly rightly) pi55ed off..... So your tech found what he believed to bad engineering in YOUR amp, which has a history (that you dont know), and you can't actually prove the faults were Mesa's ..... My heart goes out to you, no it really does, however you've had your rant, you've let us know your mad about it ..... Now please stop going on about it as they are obviously lots of us that have Mesa equipment and are happy with it. You've obviously not put the OP off buying his WS as his got it.... It just makes you sound very bitter.

Not yet.....

[quote name='nig' post='200962' date='May 17 2008, 11:42 AM']I just got a boss br micro, its turning into a great bass trainer, many fine drum and metronome times in it plus all the other reasons for using it and its an mp3 player etc...[/quote] I have a Br as well, and as a drum machine its sh1te compared to the Zoom..... The br is a great pice of kit but a drum machine it aint....

Sean, I like it..... One thing you can be sure of with an Ibanez is, that however inexpensive they are they will be capable of being set up to play well. If you like it get, I'm sure it'll be nice to play. The electrics may be a bit odd as they tend to be on budget Jap basses but nothing we cant put right between us on here!

Many happy returns BC..... May you nave many more!

Zoom MRT-3..... 400 presets and you can programme up 100 tracks. I love it.....drum sounds are realistic. My guitarist and I practice to one when we're in between drummers (like now), and TBH? Its a damn sight more reliable. [url="http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/mrt3/index.php"]http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/mrt3/index.php[/url]

Welcome to our exclusive little club....... Dish the dirt, is it std black or is it a cancelled pimped order.... (like mine was!)

interesting stuff in here..... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=17678&hl=neck+width"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=neck+width[/url] But there is as you can see a lot more to it than that, as they have done vearious widths of necks for both P + Js. Bl88dy Fender cant make thier minds up!

But you'll still have some screw holes to fill and paint....

It'd look good in a house band in a stip bar/lap dancing establishment..... Anywhere else......?

I feel some of you are missing the point...... This is not a 'perfect bass' thread its a signature bass thread.... the two are not necassarily the same or even in the same street!!! Is there a perfect bass? I often wonder.... If there was and you had it made, would you play it? I doubt it.... Signature basses are made in the essence of a musicians 'career' bass.... NOT the best ever achievable instrument...... By some of your posts, you would think that Pino worships the Fender sig model made in his names sake? I very much doubt it... I'll put money on him havng a collection of 'lovelies' that are his faves..... MK's had more companies make a sig. bass with his name on it than I've had medium warm pizzas...... Which are his Faves? well they cant all be can they?
