[quote name='Adee' post='427141' date='Mar 6 2009, 01:06 PM']I thought a lot of Duff's sound came from a MXR M-80 pedal[/quote] I think that has been more to do with Velvet Revolver and that over driven sound rather than the old Guns stuff, I say that 'cos that pedal ain't been around that long! Also to point out what Dood said, I think the P & J pickup configuaration is a lot to do with the sound also. Dood - let us know how you get on nailing the Duff sound, am interested to hear. Will you go for the really 'clanky' chourusy sound or the more subtle/traditional Duff sound? JTB

Yes please, More pictures Jono!

What about the small Line6 bass amp? This one [url="http://line6.com/lowdownstudio110/"]HERE[/url] JTB

A fast and smooth transaction was done and much appreciated. Thanks Mark and a top man to deal with. JTB

It all looked so effortlessly done - WOW

I think I'd have walked. There's plenty of other retailers that want your business.

TBH when I work a sound out at home I then normally find it doesn't sit right with the band! I have found that my Precision or Jazz bass into the Sadowsky pre amp/D.I. pedal seems to do the job perfectly into pretty much any amp that'll keep up with a loud drummer. JTB

[quote name='Marky L' post='419852' date='Feb 26 2009, 09:23 AM']Mornin’ all! Gave my new P bass a proper thrashing last night in rehearsals and decided I want to change the PUPs. The output is noticeably quieter than my CIJ P bass. The tone from the original PUPs is pretty much what I want, but I do want a bit more grunt and grind (oh, sounds a bit saucy!) so I reckon on fitting some Quarter Pounders. Never having done that before, is it relatively easy? Also where is my best bet at getting them for a sexy low groovy price? Anyone clearing out a set on here? Cheers y’all Mark[/quote] Hi Mark, I just swapped a SD Qtr Pounder from one of my P basses last night funnily enough... The p'up certainley gives you more output and a modern clarity to the P bass sound aswell. There's plenty of descriptions of it on the forum here if you search. I only changed my one out cos I've got 3 P's now and they all had Qtr Pounders in, make of that what you will! It was easy to change and only took me half an hour. As for the one that came out it's working perfectly though showing some play wear, make me an offer? Cheers, Jon.

All over the place - Second hand (here, Gumtree, Loot, eBay, etc), online, in shops.

Very cool bass you have there! Well done. \m/ SHOUT AT THE DEVIL \m/

Thanks for the info Guys and that makes sense. Cheers, JTB

I see they specify them for P basses, but this is different from what is in there already. What will that value do for a P bass? Cheers, JTB P.S. see the cap [url="http://www.rsguitarworks.net/rsstore/product_info.php?cPath=31_60&products_id=414"]HERE[/url]

Fast and smooth deal done with Alistair this week, thanks for that. A very nice man to do business with! Kind regards, Jon.

IMO you can't beat a Shure Beta52 on a bass cab.

Got to admit I didn't know his name but my God do I know the song Breadfan, what a cracker. It was Metallica that turned me onto them with their version. Rock and indeed Roll!

I use a Mesa 400+ and it a lovely loud valve amp and perfect for the punk & rock business. It would certainly liven up that 8x10 as well! Would agree with you that it should be an Ampeg or Mesa Boogie, but I've never heard an Orange amp so can't comment. That's now on the 'to do' list

Have a look at a MXR M80 D.I.+ if you can. It has a nice EQ section and switchable distortion which can go from mild to extreme distortion. I have, and use, one and can't speak highly enough of it. What I would say is that I've found it to sound wierd on its own but sounds perfect once in the band environment. JTB

I would say why not go for a SVT Classic or SVT2 Pro and tell it like it is! The best sound I've heard to date was a Stingray straight into a SVT2 Pro straight into an 8x10. It just sounded right P.S. it was Tony Barber sound checking with the Buzzcocks so I guess that covers the Punk/Rock element! edit: added P.S.

I see they're selling an amp & pre-amp aswell. Clearout time methinks!
