police squad

I've been using the WS50 since last year and have had no problems with it. No latency issue or dropout. I'm not very far from the receiver, it's on the floor plugged into my multifx. It was less than 50 quid and I have done about 50 gigs with it now

Yes I still have my PF500. I used it for 7 to 8 years and it was fabulous. I now use the Ashdown RM500 evoII. It is also fabulous. I keep the ampeg as a spare but as I'm more and more thinking of going straight into the desk via a preamp pedal, I'm not sure I need all this gear!! wow, I've just looked at the new price for a PF500 £599 from PMT (also £448 from giggear). Mine was £314 new 12 years ago

these are the best ideas

Hi mate, I have the book too. The body stamp inside is 15 Jan 1964, so defo a '64. i fancied an artist model too but plumped for this at a little over artist money. I have a CT jubilee which I like too but this is totally different. This thing is so playable

sounds similar to a precision, which I like

look forward to a listen mate

looks lovely I almost bought a double neck, it was white. What does it sound like?

I recently collected this piece, having won it in a proper auction. It could be a very late '63 but is more probably very early '64 as it doesn't have the raised logo. It's a feather weight, as it's hollow. One volume control is seized but I'm going to try and take it apart and repair it. It needs a tuner ferrule and a screw for one machine head I've plugged it in and it has that sound. I may name it Paul, after my late brother who was born in '64

ok cool, I'll try the mooer and see what happens cheers

I have a mooer too but it's switchable and I was told not to use one It's all too complicated lol

Dave at Ashdown told me 100 ma and 9 volt. It must be linear and not switching. Would a boss PSA230 do it, just for a really simple set up. I'm trying to keep the cost down here a little, so I can get everything sorted and keep the weight down too

where was the gig in Ramsgate?

I ordered one of these from Bax Global for £236.00. It's arrived and it's very nicely made and it has got me thinking. It doesn't come with a power supply, which although isn't really a problem (I have a voodoo labs pedal power two on another pedal board) I would like to mount this preamp on a smaller pedal board with maybe just a tuner. Also, no FX loop, again I don't use FX so it shouldn't be a problem either but say I wanted a little chorus on my board, I can still stick it throught the front So I'm asking you lovely people what other power supplies could I use for this, my boss tuner and chorus pedal. I can't post a pictute atm, it's at home and I'm at work

I must admit that I beat 7 bells out of my strings when I play but my fingers have toughened up now, since I started playing more

Ray, I am so sorry to read this Basschat is an amazing community and a great place to buy and sell gear, with no fees and to deal with great people I wish you the best on your journey

that sounds really good

dodged a bullet there I think I'm sure Neil Murray explained on this very site, that he sort of busked it. He hadn't written all the fills, he just played it

fkn brilliant

for my 80s duo I just nicked the name of a TV cop show (from the 80s) that had two people in it Miami Vice and when we turned it into a band added the word Reloaded Miami Vice Reloaded think along those lines bu Neon Yuppie Coke Machine does it for me

I checked my JMJ yesterday, for neck dive and there was zero I used my Hofner violin bass at the weekend and that does sit a bit weird on its strap. Tilts forward but it's so light it really doesn't matter I cant wait to use it again

don't you mean ghosts in the machine logo (that would be clever)

amazing but too rich for me atm thanks for the info

I've just found this thread, as I was looking into whether Ashdown did a pedal like this (as my Police Tribute has gone completely IEM) Bax shop had one left in stock at £239 so I bought it. It's a while till our next gig but I'll take it along (with my bass gear, Just in case) and will try it live

I think I've worked it out I played the hofner yesterday at a gig, with zero problems. I think the last time I used it, I just wasn't playing much bass and my fingers probably weren't up to it
