Did an outdoor gig with my markbass traveller 102p, 151hf and lmk2 on Sat. Fairly large stage with the amp set well back on a very wobbly wooden stage. Playing away i realised that i was really loud ( i turned down!) even from that distance with the sound full, clean and clear from deep bass notes on the detuned E right up to my chords and harmonics. Heres the thing........ When i took it down i realised id not properly plugged in the 151hf, id done the whole gig just on the 102p!?!?!?!?!?! Unreal! makes me gutted i carted that Trace rig around so long! The LMK was only up to about 9 oclock! and that was into 8 ohms cooool

i know!

Thats why im umming, i cant stand em, but i reckon one modded up to f*** would be ace!

Recently picked up an as new squier VMJ fretless jazz on here, to which i promptly added a tortoisehell scratchplate to 'de-jacofi' it a bit. However i think i bought it cause i used to play all fretless years ago and thought i missed it, turns out i dont!, so im sorta thinking of swapping it for the squier vmj p bass if i can find an interested party, BUT, and this is where you guys come in, should i? As it goes i already have six stunning fretted basses, so would a simple squier P be worth it?, ive never owned a P but i fancy the idea of slowly modding a white one. But surely its more sense to keep a fretless handy 'just incase'!? As i can get a pretty convincing fretless sound from my other basses, but then i can also get a convincing P sound? thoughts?

heh heh, its the new 'alternators' version of smokescreen who turns into a wrc subaru impreza, coool!

thanks, liking it much more than my old ss1 and my previous LX too well chuffed

thanks dude, which one?, im lovin the new LX snagged a bargain there.

thanks guys, the jazz used to be a 91 mij 60s reissue now only the body and three of the tuners are original, the neck is a status graphite, with fretfx leds, it has an east j retro, emgs, badass 2, hipshot, etc etc and is my main bass and a real head turner!, the markbass rig is superb and soooo loud!, compared to the trace its a bit brighter and less low mid punchy its harder to eq to as the low eq is a tad too low also the low on the vpf is a litttle too low, BUT its awesome and im sooo glad i made the switch!

thanks dude, i have the same problem i also changed the pics for better ones
