    So...........I've got a 75 RI MIJ Jazz that I'd like to upgrade the pickups on. I'm after that 'classic' Jazz sound (or as close to, without spending £1500 on a 70's one)! A friend has recommended the Lindy Frailin ones - anyone got any comments on them? I'd like to upgrade the controls - Vol and tones also so any pointers would be appreciated. Also, I'd like to upgrade the bridge - I don't want anything 'fancy' like hipshot etc - just a decent, solid, reliable bridge. Any pointers there? Thanks all!

    I've recently 'inherited' an Mbox - I think it's probably getting on for 10 yrs old - it's the grey one. Original Mbox 1. Anyway, I'm having trouble getting it to work with my pc, which is running vista. Do I have to run it on a pc running Xp or is there a way around it? I have Logic also........ It's just for home demos etc. Thanks........

    a difficult one - I only enjoy it depending on the distances involved, the time and what I've got on the next day! There's 5 of us though and we have a splitter so we share the driving. I recall once having spent the weekend with the old band in London shooting a video over sat and sun, a few of us went out on the sat nigh to Camden and got royally wellied. We managed to do the 2nd day of filming on the sun, but were booked into Rockfield for the week from the monday am so had to go straight there on the sun night. We had 2 vans, I was driving one with the guitarist and we left London for Monmouth at 11pm - seriously knackered after 2 long days, crap sleep, a lot of ale and hung over. Somewhere along the M4 we were both struggling to stay awake so ended up driving the rest of the way with the windows fully open, shouting (in a funny way) at each other and punching ourselves in the face just to stay awake. The lads in the 2nd van behind constantly kept flashing their lights and calling our mobiles to try and stop us falling asleep. Never again. Stupid.org

    Jamerson it or pick?

    a common problem for many bands! A simple and cheap fix is to get some of those cheap yellow or orange foam plug ear plug defenders - you know, the ones that you squeeze and pop in your ear. Just use one in one ear (I tend to go for the side closest to the snare & hats). It cuts out some of the hi freq 'fiz' and sparkle and when singing, you can certainly hear yourself so much better. More importantly, it does cut some volume. Try singing / talking with a finger in one ear and you'll see what I mean - it's like you can almost 'feel' the notes, but is sooooo much cheaper than IEM's.

    Hello there....... might I point you in the direction of something I currently have for sale........ [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/165532-ampeg-ba300-115-combo-wflightcase/"]http://basschat.co.u...bo-wflightcase/[/url] Regards,

    my 1st bass amp was a Warwick c180 combo - [url="http://www.wikizic.org/Warwick-WAMP-C180/gallery-1.htm"]http://www.wikizic.org/Warwick-WAMP-C180/gallery-1.htm[/url] which I bought 2nd hand when I was 16. I was the envy of all the other bassists in school at that point as they were using small 30w Laney combos and the like. It was great and still being used by the guy that bought it off me - a mate. Next up was a Peavey Mk VI head and a battered Peavey 4x10 cab. I sold the Peavey cab and replaced it with the Warwick 410 Pro that I still use. Sold the Peavey head to make way for the Ampeg SVT 3 Pro. Also have the Ampeg BA300 115 (currently for sale on here) which I leave in the rehearsal room.

    ........now, apparently there is a certain, non UK based company selling these new for a silly price. Don't know what shipping costs plus import tax would be on top though. UK wise they're anything between £580 and £645 new. Clearly, I can't compete with a huge, non UK company, but given it is used (though in brilliant condition and not used much at all), I have decided to drop the asking price a little to suit. £350 inc flightcase last reduction!

    So, having traded a Gibson SG bass for this, the time has come to move it on to release funds for another cab I have my eye on, [b]It's an [/b][b]Ampeg BA300 115 combo[/b], and in brilliant condition. It's now roughly 2 yrs old or so. This is being sold as I would like to release some cash to purchase a Barefaced S12T ideally. I also own an SVT 3 Pro so have something to use in the meantime. I traded my bass for it in April / May and have done roughly 10 or so gigs with it. It's in great condition, what with being flightcased - the lid only comes off for gigs, and it stays in the base. I[s]'m asking [b]£300 for it[/b] minus the flightcase...or £400 with. [b]£350 with flightcase - take it off me so I can buy a Barefaced!!
