I'll keep you posted as to how it sounds! My other plan is to go for a Fralin P-92 if this one doesn't work out.

It's the Way Back Machine website that has an archive of the Wizard site that you can look at and click through the pages! As for shots of the Area 51 Stealth, Sean's recent ad has a couple of good pics: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228111-sold-wizard-stealth-area-51-p-pickup/page__p__2354582__hl__wizard%20stealth__fromsearch__1#entry2354582"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/228111-sold-wizard-stealth-area-51-p-pickup/page__p__2354582__hl__wizard%20stealth__fromsearch__1#entry2354582[/url]

I have an 'Area 51 Stealth' P bass pickup in one of mine with flats on and it is just great. For info on that and all the other bass pickups I found this: [url="http://web.archive.org/web/20101228180331/http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/shop.asp?category=Bass"]http://web.archive.org/web/20101228180331/http://www.wizardpickups.co.uk/shop.asp?category=Bass[/url] Cheers, Jon

Nice amp BTW!

Sean, I got some rubber feet from Blue Aran here in the UK for my old SVT 2 Pro and they were perfect.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1390915994' post='2351189'] Markbass Super Booster - you get a clean boost AND the legendary VPF and VLE filters. Yum. It also has a DI out for extra flexibility. [url="http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=117"]http://www.markbass....tail.php?id=117[/url] [/quote] I have one of these and a big +1 to what Discreet said.

[quote name='Ancient Mariner' timestamp='1391172255' post='2354052'] A little late, but can I recommend [url="http://bg-pups.com/pure90/pure90/"]BG pickups Pure 90s[/url]. Bryan has a great reputation on Harmony Central among builders, modders and players. [/quote] Thanks for the link AM. I had a look at this site and what I found interesting is where he mentions about using plastic covers. Now, I know some guitars had/have P-90s with chrome covers but when I thought about it the sound I'm shooting for is that plastic covered vintage P90 sound. So with that in mind this pickup ticks all the boxes for me and at a reasonable price from a UK supplier: [url="http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/p90-pickup-humb-retrofit-black-plastic-1163-p.asp"]http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/p90-pickup-humb-retrofit-black-plastic-1163-p.asp[/url]

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1391355864' post='2356107'] Right, sorry for the delay. Soundcloud wouldn't let me upload a track, saying I needed to confirm my email when I already did. It's now working. Hope it works this time. [url="https://soundcloud.com/garethflatlands/rebel-rider-p90"]https://soundcloud.c...rebel-rider-p90[/url] Edit:- sorry for the tuning issues. I think the neck is a little warped. [/quote] Thanks for that Gareth and nice sounds!

Another Gorgomyte user here. So simple and easy to use. Thomann sell it if the website is too much of a faff: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ghs_gorgomyte.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ghs_gorgomyte.htm[/url]

I'm not on Facebook, is there another way to enter please?

[quote name='Sean' timestamp='1390849425' post='2350379'] My band were all, "Ooh, look he's got a new amp!" (I did not correct them on minor detail) and they reckoned it sounded better than the "old one" however said it was still unmistakably Mesa Boogie :-) [/quote] Ha ha, love it!

[quote name='HotelEcho' timestamp='1391090581' post='2353130'] ...Is this a good small-cab solution for pairing up, or am I just being barking? I quite like the idea of having a lighter cab than head... [/quote] Of course you can! Just use your ears to tell if/when the cab is struggling by farty noises, etc. A good read up about it here: [url="http://barefacedbass.com/technical-information/mythbusters1.htm"]http://barefacedbass.com/technical-information/mythbusters1.htm[/url]

Slightly OT but on the 'Talks Music' show on Sky Arts, Nile reckons the Hitmaker is on something like $2 Billion (or was it 3, can't remember) of record sales

I had one for a little while... Absolutely loved the sounds out of it but did not love the weight, what a monster! It's so deceiving - How can a 4u amp head weigh 32 odd KG Alex at the Gallery said they're fantastic amps if you can leave them set up somewhere and get someone else to hump it about for you when needs be ha ha ha!

Same here, the clip won't play?

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1390759389' post='2349149'] Very late but I stuck one in a homebrew tele. Do you guys want a soundclip or something? [/quote] Go on then Gareth, that would be great please.

[quote name='alanbass1' timestamp='1389983008' post='2340299'] Here you go: [url="http://s104.photobucket.com/user/alanbass1/media/Guitars/Guitars016_zpse48da40d.jpg.html"][/url] Put some WB 67 PUPs in her and she sounds and plays fantastic [/quote] Oh yeah! Very nice.

I believe Duff uses the MXR M80 Bass di+ to achieve that sound.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1390398752' post='2344926'] BF Midget? [/quote] I think this is the answer too.

[quote name='iiipopes' timestamp='1390255086' post='2343308'] I have done it in a variety of configurations. I prefer an end-to-end Jazz-style humbucking pickup for the bridge position to eliminate any noise issue when soloing the J, and since the P pickup is just a hair closer to the bridge than the neck position J pickup, I prefer the J bridge pickup in the "70's" bridge position to add that slightest bit more top end when added in to the P. Something like the new Fender S3 noiseless Jazz, DiMarzio Ultra Jazz, Fralin Split Jazz, or similar, is recommended. [/quote] Another here that's been around the block with this conundrum and can only recommend wholeheartedly iiipopes advice, but for the marginal sound change to the instrument I would advise thinking about it carefully as Chris_B has pointed out above. If nothing more than the cost implications for a slight change. Anyway, I have had a great sounding success with the Nordstrand NPJSE4 P/J set that has the split coil jazz pickup and installed it in the 70's position slightly nearer the bridge. I am reading into your post that it's a 5 string set you need so would have to buy the 5 string versions of what I mention but Bass Direct sell plenty of varieties

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1390224597' post='2342740'] ...Any hoo....anyone else got a review, opinion on a Bravewood bass they have played? [/quote] I have one. The unknown element is that you are dealing with a one man band and things can go wrong. I got a bass that developed a truss rod failure. There was someone else on here that had Bravewood Jazz bass with out of line tuners/headstock. Where I'm going with this is that there [i]could [/i]be discrepancies that you only find out once you have the instrument in your hands and from personal experience he is not a nice man when it comes to after sales support and I cannot recommend him on the strength of it. Jon Shuker may be your man...
