They do look great amps those. Such a shame swr, warwick etc have disappeared. They did some cracking stuff.

Was just a really weird one. Its work perfectly before at practice, but last night at soundcheck it was just like a broken microphone. Thatbwas in passive too. Dont know what it was. I'll give it a look over this week.

Does the shure work with active basses? My flippin boss wd50 hated mine tonight. Had to use a cable for the first time in 5 years.

No, with the boss there is no manual scanning at all. Everytime you plug it in to the receiver it auto checks and finds the best possible signal. This stops it finding a good signal when the room is empty, then that freq being busier later on when the crowd is in. It's literally, plug in, let its light stop flashing and you should be good.

Still using my boss wd50. Still doing well. Just remember with any systems like these that auto scan, to put back in the transmitter before starting so it can reach for the best frequency now the room is full.

Yes, it was really strange. My trib l100 used to slam and cut through a mix great, but I just couldnt get any punch out of the l2000 at all. No matter what configuration or amp settings. Some people make them sound great, but it just didnt work for me.

It's the 4 string san dimas in blue. So versatile and quality.

I think I'm going to go for the john east uni 5. I love the idea of it having pretty much everything: Passive/active. Passive tone. Bass (adjustable band) Treble (adjustable band) Mids (parametric). Flat or shape option.

Love mine!

Brilliant in my opinion. I asked a question about my nexus all valve amp and they answered my question within a day and sent me a bag of replacement fuses free of charge in the post.

It's absolutely everything about them (apart from the shielding).... The necks are superb. The luminous side fret markers, the high mass bridge, and the tones you can get in passive are unreal. Really loving it. Took some time to get used to where to put my fingers with it being a reverse p, but so comfy to play now and every note stands out. They're stunning in real life too, a lot nicer than the photos and videos.

Great stuff, I'll give that a go. Does anyone know where to buy the copper tape from? And the wire? I did it years ago on a different bass using aluminium tape I think from b & q? Got to admit, I love this charvel.

Cheers all, some interesting options there.

Hi, I have a charvel pj too and I'm looking for a preamp. Which one did you use? Thanks.

Hi all, Does anyone do prewired solderless preamps? I'm after one I can fit myself so ideally a solderless one. I'd like it to have a passive / active switch and 3 band eq. Also as the bass is a p/j I'd like a blend knob. So ideally.... 1. a volume pot with push/pull for active / passive. 2. A blend pot. 3. Treble. 4. Mids. 5. Bass. Does such a thing exist?

In all honesty, no, unfortunately. It was the clf one as well. Really really didnt like it, no matter how much I wanted to. It was probably more to do with the band I was in, but it just didnt fit no matter what I did. Shame as it looked cool, sounded great isolated and I had a l100 which was superb and fitted any music without so much as a struggle. Just one of those weird things.
