indeed - puzzled as to why they have stopped making that model as it was an instant geddy lee upgrade
-
just looked at their website seems they make not have the hammer now - they still have the precision thumper though
-
huge output even when passive - they come up for sale on here occasionally - no longer made but the copyrights and patterns and equipment were all bought by hotrod pickups who continue making exact same item but under new brand name - currently have a set in a vmJ fretless along with one of John K1iogons passive control plates

top tip for the day - put a pair of wizard hammers in it and never again consider forking out silly money for a US fender thank me later

re the link to cyclone music - im based in Medway , they are local on medway estate, we have a thriving music scene in medway for many decades now, many local artists recording at local ranscombe studios on analogue and many of them also choosing cyclone for duplication or pressing - a friend is a local muso who is now on his tenth album and always uses them i have 5 or 6 of his releases on 180g vinyl and they are all consistently good - be mindful also that the end result will obviously be hugely dependent on the recording engineering and production - if youre anywhere in/near kent pm and i will send details - dont want to be accused of blatant plugging - unless everyone wants me to of course ☺️

Guitar pick counter display - where to find one?
steve-bbb replied to Bafflegab's topic in General Discussion
keep a clear perspex cover FIXED over the top and keep it locked until they have parted with the money - you know what guitarists are like they will be losing them all over the shop before they even got their wallet out -
you forgot that they pay virtually flip all corporation tax

just scanning through the entire stages list https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/glastonbury-festival-line-up-schedule-2938328 - cant believe tank and the bangas were only on one of the very minor stages - possibly one of the tightest bands there and with the exception possibly of the legendary mavis staples tarriona tank the best voice at glasto this year nice little stint to for some local medway delta talent in the shape of funke and the two tone baby on the bimble inn stage - if you never heard of him check this its great fun -
v nice - similar ish sort of stylewise to emily's devolution

Help me pick a pickup set for my Jazz bass.
steve-bbb replied to sirmuppet's topic in Repairs and Technical
you can get the pre-loved - i managed to purchase two sets from this very website but they dont pop up very often mr wizard retired and just closed everything down but the designs and tools and jigs and everything were bought up on proviso that new company started out with a new name i believe - hot rods - so basically the hot rods guys are making the same product with the same designs to the same spec with the same manufacturing tools ps my search for the elusive powerful active jazz setup was rudely upset when i purchased a vm Precision and dropped a wizard thumper in it - never imagined that a passive setup would sound fatter and bigger than all the different actives i have tried over the years https://www.hot-rodpickups.com/jb-hammer-jazz-bass-pickup-569-p.asp -
