Sounds like the same one!

Bump for tomorrow's Cluny gig. On at 9pm for a 45min set including Larry Graham, Chic, Rufus and other good stuff with our new singer Wendy Saint.

These are excellent cabs! Really deep and hi-fi.

I do like a challenge. (anyone wanting a five pickup bass with all bells and whistles can F...R....O.. ).

Only five pickups? Nah...

Bump for an amazingly capable rig at a knock down price. New cab has arrived so this is £250 to clear!! Could deliver in Newcastle area.

Seriously, this is a bargain.

New cab incoming - this has to go. £275 ono.

when did you order?

20th November.

Just don't get your hopes up for end of May is all I'd say (speaking from experience and still waiting...).

A 'hoping my new rig will turn up any day'...bump!

Aha I see.

Shouldn't it have a signature on the headstock? Plus the string tree looks different to mine.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roscoe-Beck-Fender-Jazz-Bass-Made-in-Mexico-/170990105767

So someone had a Roscoe Beck and put some active EMGs in it.

Except that's not a Roscoe Beck headstock.

Or bridge.

Not sure where the 'Made in Mexico' comes from.

Ew.

I have a TRB5 and TRB6, both Mk1 made in Japan. Great instruments.but slightly noisy preamps, though nothing to worry about in a live setting. Had a MkII TRB5 for a while but didn't get on with it, not sure if it was the 35" scale or just general tone/feel.
The cutaway on the Mk1's that is supposedly there to help popping etc. I find a bit annoying, as the gap under the top strings is too big compared with my other basses. It's a fix for a problem that never existed imho.
Yes, the jack sockets are notoriously unreliable - I think I've replaced them on all my 3 Yamahas at one point or another. I also wax-dipped the pick-ups on the TRB5 as I found them a bit on the microphonic side.

Stereo power amp section - why??

Hi Dodge,
I did just that for years in Spangler - I really don't know why it hasn't caught on more!
I use either a JBL Eon 15" PA cab, or a SWR Bass Monitor 12 (http://www.swramps.com/en-GB/support/vintage.php/) powered by my Mark Bass SA450. The low end isn't huge, but then I find that helps with pitching - leave that to the PA.
Played with the house amp at Hoochie the other week and remembered why I did it!

Bump and final price drop - £280.

I occasionally use a passive JBL Eon 15" cab as a bass monitor with a Mark Bass head DI'd into the PA. Works pretty well!

Bump...

A really capable rig for the price of one half-decent cab!

Price drop! £300

If only we didn't have to play to punters...

Bump! This Thursday folks, on stage 8.15pm-ish.

Really nice. Tight.
