Can the East J-Retro Deluxe be used with EMG pickups?
lee650 replied to fretmeister's topic in Bass Guitars
Yes, I had a Spector CR5FM years ago which had EMG DC and the East U retro deluxe, but the passive tone didn't work. -

For sale a well broken in 4 string set of TI's with a brand new and barely used TI B string. I've had the 4 string on a couple of basses ( two BB,so and a precision) and they are very broken in and mellow and deep. Silks are fraying as they would but still OK to fit. I wanted flats on my old BB425 so fitted these and bought a brand new B string, but didn't keep them on the bass long. Obviously the B is a little brighter, but B strings tend to sound deeper and they match very well. Has been strung through the body on yamaha 4 strings BB,s but will need to be strung through the bridge on a 5 to fit, so will suit a jazz or p 5. Note - they will fit a yamaha BB5 if strung through the bridge, the E fits with one wrap round the post,it works fine. SOLD

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
lee650 replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
My first ever bass was a short scale Arbiter SG type, I didn't keep it long 🤣 recent problems with Carpal Tunnel, has forced me to look into one, to continue playing. I tried a couple in my local music shop (Fender Player Mustang and Sterling stingray) and was very impressed by the sound quality (although I had issues with the Sterlings build quality for a bass costing in the region of £800) After lots of research online,I decided to take a gamble on the sire U5! What a great sounding and well built little bass! I restrung it through the body with normal scale Dunlop superbrights and it sounds huge. It has the deep bass that shortscales are known for, but the maple board and 70s position back pickup give it a lot of bite. Its definitely redefined my thoughts in short scales, however I personally struggle playing past the 12th fret with an octave pedal, the frets are so dinky🤣 so long term, when I eventually get my operation and hopefully recover, I'm not sure I'll continue using it. Mind you both my daughters have fallen in love with it and now want to play, so they'll have a much better first bass, then I did 😁 -
Thanks Paul I may consider replacing them,I've been tempted to do the same with my 4lx as well.

New Bass day! Always been a fan of spector, ever since I started playing. According to Facebook I got my first 9 years ago, a CR5FM it sounded fantastic,buy eventually moved it on as I found the weight and scale a bit much at the time. I regretted it ever since! After a bit of recent searching I have today received a Twin of my old Euro, a Euro 5LX-TW in natural. Much lighter than my old one and a shallower neck too. It has the Alder/walnut sandwich with a slightly quilted maple top, with the Tonepump circuit. It has these lovely EMG CS TW pickups, which means that are ceramic and Steel magnets, giving a warmer sound. They can be coil tapped to single coil with pull switches, although I've found they have a large drop in volume in single coil mode. Using these is cool in that with both pickups on, you can coil tap either pickup and it emphasises the other but sounds tighter than the pickups alone (for example the front pickup is boomy on its own, coil tapping the bridge sounds more like the front pickup, but tighter. The two split coils can be used for quieter mellower tones). Really pleased to have a new Euro and its a great counterpart to my Euro4 which is more aggressive. A picture came on Facebook today, posing with my CR5FM and my baby daughter Cora, so we decided to recreate it 🤣 my thanks to Mr Travis for putting the two together.

Thanks Merlino I agree! I've owned the 3 leaf GR2 and Wonderlove as well as many other popular filters and this can do everything they do and more. This is also a third of the price of the 3 leaf offerings. Amazed it's still here, although it's a beast, it costs less than the MXR and certainly less than the old no box Qtron, and it can cop those sounds. Perfect as a one filter does all solution. If I can sell my fuzz and phaser, I'll withdraw this.
