Cheers guys, I gave Wizard a call today and I'll be posting my pickups this week. I'll give an update on how they sound when I get them refitted. Mike

In the mid 90s I replaced the original pick ups on my 1973 Fender Jazz bass with EMGs. The EMGs have served me very well but I still have those old pick ups. The EMGs were put in because the original pick ups squealed like bloody hell at higher volumes. Can anyone recommend a place I can get them fixed? Cheers, Mike

Hello there, The bass on Cardiacs' albums Sing To God and Guns - what is it? I've often thought that its some of the best recorded bass ever and I was wondering if anybody could shine some light on what I'm hearing; in particular tracks like Eat It Up Worms Hero. Thanks, Mike

Just sold Matt an ODB-3. Good bloke to deal with.

Chilling out on New Year's Eve. Hope you're having a good one, folks. After 4 months (since I posted my first board), many gigs, and even more pedal changes here is my gigable board. It works! It's alive!! I've also changed boards. I just didn't need the space provided by the Gator Pro so I changed it for a smaller T-Rex board. Last addition was the MXR Blowtorch which I'm really happy with. This after a Rat, a black Big Muff, an ODB-3, a Danelectro Fab Tone which, should I record, I'll use but live I just cannot seem to work for me - even blended with a Boss LS-2. The Fab Tone does sound amazing though. I play a Warwick Stage I...., or a 1973 Fender Jazz bass (with EMGs) with a new tweaks on the Sansamp. Ooh, and the Line 6 expression pedal for the MM4. Its really opened it up, if you know what I mean. It'd be great to have your opinions on this, my Mark II board. Cheers, Mike

Merry Christmas good people of Basschat!
