Never felt the need to change the pickups so I honestly can't say. Some people who have stronger views on these things change them without trying them. I've never had a problem with the parts on HB basses. Funnily enough I was thinking about this in relation to the Sandberg I mentioned earlier. The finish is bubbling and peeling off one of the tuners - I noticed it on Friday - never had anything like that on my 'cheap' basses.

Has it arrived?

Bought this here a couple of weeks ago. It's the lightest, fastest HB jazz I've ever played. Oh and the shell pink finish is really lovely. I gigged it this weekend. The previous gig I had used my Sandberg California - a truly beautiful instrument to play. I have to say there was absolutely no drop in quality. None. Not in sound, feel, balance or playability. Anyone trying to convince me that price is any indication of quality, or 'you get what you pay for' has their work cut out I'm afraid.

I built this board. I had a top bar and sides left over after fitting a power bar to my 60cm board. So I added a couple of bits of batten some velcro and a couple of bolts for feet and presto! The Harmonic Booster is at the end, the comp and octaver are first everything else is in the loop of the X5.

Fascinating stuff, thank you

I went for the no fuzz for Nazi scum one.

ITDAA you'd think they'd sell one type of unit and let you install whichever software suited you. Rather than separate bass and guitar models, let the user decide. Surely more cost effective than producing different bodies.

I still get disappointed at the self serving decisions people make in music. But I'm getting over it now. I need the work. It used to be a passion, but while nowadays I'm still passionate about playing, it's a job first and foremost. My favourite singer and very close friend recently pulled out of a project I'd set up. I didn't get stroppy, she had a heavy workload and said she couldn't commit to it. Then not long after she went and auditioned for a busy function band. Does it sting? Fk yes. What's my attitude towards it? Stay cool, after all I may pick up some dep work with her new band. And she puts regular work my way in another project. If I stuck out my bottom lip and spat out my dummy, how much better off would I be?

What a beautiful blue black head cab combination. Really pleasing on the eye.

My 60B lives in my Bits Box, also known as my Get Out Of Jail Free box. I have pressed it into service many times. As a replacement or in its own right when travelling light. I wouldn't be without it. I would however happily be with a new improved version.

I'm not familiar with it either. What I can say is the Gloam sounded great on Thursday evening. Sat in the mix and gave the bass a synthy goodness.

It's how I earn my living. All you need to do is drastically reduce your financial dependency. No expensive cars, no big house, no holidays, no drink or drugs, no fancy clothes, no hobbies. Anything the money you make doesn't cover, you need you take the odd bit of cash work here and there. In other words you have to really want it.

Another problem free transaction with Lawrie. Bass exactly as described, very well priced, clear Comms throughout. Perfect Basschat purchase.

I've used a Lekato wireless bug system for iems and it was absolutely fine. Bit of jiggery-pokery to connect it up but no reason at all not to use it

Hmm. Why didn't I get one with my Jive I wonder 🤔 *starts digging for the box*
