    Have you taken the sctrachplate off to have a look? If you can hear something loose inside the bass it can only really be in one of the cavities under the scratchplate. There certainly shouldn't be anything rattling about inside it at any rate.
  2. Jono Bolton
    Is that what that is? Hopefully there's a 'stiff as f***' setting.

    Nice! I remember I saw Bedouin Soundclash a few years back and the bassist was using one of these, sounded great!

    I'm sure The Bass Doc would be able to sort something out for you, drop him a PM

    Great stuff, thanks everyone! These are the tuners I was looking at, but I found them from a seller on ebay for £42.95: http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Vintage_Style_Bass_Tuners_Open_Gear_Nickel_GB-2LN Looks like a purchase is going to be scheduled in for payday, good job that this is our month off with the council tax!

    [quote name='Ou7shined' timestamp='1336089317' post='1640895'] That looks... ooh... what's the word? [/quote] sh*te? What a rip, couldn't I have got this on ebay for half the price last week?
  7. Jono Bolton
    Perfect, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear!

    [quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1336067173' post='1640487'] I've a few different Gotoh sets on the go here. You tune up, they stay in tune until you decide you want to change that. Don't know what else to tell you. [/quote] That's all I really needed to know I suppose, I've had Hipshots in the past and they were excellent, but about twice the price of the Gotohs, I think I paid £88 for a set of 4 HB-2s a few years back, they've since gone up in price. As the Gotohs were much cheaper I didn't know if there would a great difference in the quality, you get what you pay for as they say.

    Has anybody here tried the above-mentioned tuners? I've been looking at getting some new one's for my P as the standard one's are struggling to hold their tuning. The Gotohs seem to retail at about £40 (eBay) which is about half the price of the Fender and Hipshot one's I've looked at. Does anyone know how they compare?

    What are the delivery charges like? I had a look at the site but couldn't work it out.

    I've got an Evo II ABM 300 that I got off eBay about 4 years ago for not much more than £200, and that was in used but still very good condition. It depends what you mean by 'beat up', is that a few scuffs or pretty knackered? Do you know what series it is? You've not given us very much information and not really told us what you're looking to find out.

    And even then, the scale would be too short for me

    There's only one of the Pawn Shop range that I like, and it's not even a bass:

    Yuck! Because I'm using my work computer, a lot of pictures wont load up if they've been posted using Photobuckets and the like, so I had to do a wee Google search to find a picture. Needless to say, I was really disappointed, I was hoping for something like the old Squier Supersonic:
  15. Jono Bolton
    Still available. £8?
  16. Jono Bolton
    That fretless P is beautiful!

    Wilkinson 4-string bass bridge, with fat individual brass saddles for each string to improve sustain. In very good condition, with Allen key for adjusting saddle height, a tenner posted. It's second from bottom in the link below: http://www.axesrus.com/axeBassh.htm

Mark McK. . [/quote] I thought the term 'lawsuit' referred to Gibson and Fender suing companies from the far east for making unlicensed copies of their designs? For example the old Tokais and Fernandes were identical to vintage Fenders and Gibsons end even had headstock logos based on those of the companies they were ripping off. I didn't think lawsuit referred to instruments that were just good instruments?

    Any pics?

    Where are the tuners from?

    [quote name='LowdownRumble' timestamp='1334776604' post='1621200'] Mine isn't any louder than my old passive bass was. And the change of batteries is pissing me off and I hate that I cant leave it plugged in. Is there such a thing as an active/passive bass? Such as, when the battery dies switch to passive and rock on? [/quote] The Fender Marcus Miller Jazz has a active/passive switch, it may just have been the way I had the EQ set but I noticed a big increase in volume when going from passive to active. If you can switch between the two then I believe it's usually passive pickups, with an active EQ, that was certainly the case with the MM.

    [quote name='pst62' timestamp='1334835085' post='1622025'] I had the same problem, all I did was fill the problem hole up with superglue, left it for a day then re-introduced the screw, I've removed the scratchplate a few times since and it's still holding fine. [/quote] I've done this before too. Don't think it's the recommended technique, but it'll do for my beater P Bass!

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1334218888' post='1612577'] Fender Deluxe Active Precision Special at Coda Music in Stevenage, for £499: [url="http://www.coda-music.com/product_info.php?cPath=170&products_id=12011"]http://www.coda-music.com/product_info.php?cPath=170&products_id=12011[/url] [/quote] Great shout

    [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1334087337' post='1610817'] These are usually 40mm nut width perfect for those of us who want a P but not with such a wide nut. They play like the Devil, that colour is as rare as my wallet opening and would look sublime with a Brown Tortie plate. I am actually salivating. 1 week ago this would have been mine . [/quote] +1 on the tort scratchplate. This is a magnificent looking bass!
  25. Jono Bolton
    Got them yesterday, cheers Ben! The postie obviously didn't fancy bringing them to the flat so I went to pick them up from the office. All arrived fine, thanks very much!
