Ok, i dragged up an old thread to save starting a new one. (do i get points for that, mods? )

So i recently bought a Rocktron DC On Tap Universal stomp box power supply, for daisy chaining my fx. It's sweet, as it comes with different connection leads, including a 9V battery lead.

Anyway, when experimenting, i found some fx made my amp hum, when included: in particular, a Boss DD5 and my Sovtek Big Muff (with the 9V connector lead). The other fx seem to be happy (tremolo, micro amp, tuner etc....). I generally, go Bass [i]- muff - (other fx/tuner) - micro amp -[/i] amp.

Is the hum effect specific do you think, or is the power supply itself? (i imagine some might be more efficient than others).

Any ideas appreciated. Ta.

Well done John

Before i got my Orange, i was on the look out for a JCM800 or VB4H.

Well, it would be cheaper via a private seller perhaps. But have a look [url="http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedpb1.htm"]here[/url]. A very similar bass for £50 more (Jap 93/94 pbass)

If you've never played a P before, i would suggest trying one out first though. Mind you, if you do buy it and don't like it, there will be plenty of people here who would then buy it, i imagine.

Well, it's the vintage 'premium' version, ie alder and US pickups, not the cheaper basswood and Japanese pickups version. So you have to ask yourself, do i like it and can i afford it?

As far as i know, one can't buy 'new' Fender Japan instruments from Ishibashi anymore.

Tee.

How come you're selling? SVT CL heads are great. Ar eyou not using it to its full potential?

Anyone have an Epiphone Ripper? the [u]new one[/u] with the PJ config pickups. Any decent reviews anywhere? Harmony central seems to have older spec ones only. I'm guessing being all maple it's quite bright and snappy sounding.

i have a US P bass and what i like about it compared to a CIJ i had (a top of the range one or thereabouts) are the tuners (vastly superior), the headstock (it's fatter and looks and feels better) and the string through bridge.

All IMO of course

What sort of tone/sound is it like (clean & overdriven)? I imagine it's quite rock/trebley with that Di Marzio at the bridge? Is it a hot pickup?

Was it the earlier JVs which had the larger 'Fender' logo and smaller 'By Squier' logo underneath then?

Paul Martin, are you talking about the "New Fender standard" range by any chance, as they have the olympic white with tort guard that you speak of.

I have to say, the colour choices aren't great. They've dumped the butterscotch one, which i quite liked on a P. But then i guess that's what defines it as part of the previous model/batch.

If a shop guitar isn't set up right, it won't feel right to me and therefore i won't buy it. It's that simple.

Out of interest, have you seen the vid on the Fender site as part of the new fender standard range? It's a bit cheesy ^_^ [url="http://www.fender.com/makehistory/"]see here[/url]

That's on an 'Infectious Grooves' cd (Fame and Immigrant Song)

I like SGs. I got my white one a couple of years back, bought in a shop for a much better price than that. They're now hard to find, whereas they can't give away those other coloured ones.

I do too. I have a Gibson SG reissue. It's super sweet. Currently strung with TI flats.

Looks like they're "coming soon." I also like the black one.

I bet it doesn't come with that glow around it, because that would be cool. Doesn't sound too bad to me either, for what is a cheap bass.

ok, i forgot IMO

Dead - John Bonham
Alive - Stephen Perkins or Jon Theodore

I have an Epi Tbird and it's superb. It honestly sounds like a Gibson to me, particularly through my super sweet, lovely tube amp and cab. My no.1 bass is a US Precision, but the other day i plugged in my Epi and it was just so 'Rock!' Deeper, thicker!

For the record, i did date a lap dancer for a bit when the Tbird was my No.1 bass, so the BigBeefChief is right. No heroin addiction though.

I knew the S1 switching would go on the next models

London/Tower Bridge area

I have a Trace Elliot Boxer 65 for sale in the amps section, only £100. And i'm in London. Perfect for home practice. PLus it has a headphone jack too.

Bump, before they hit the bay.
