[quote name='gafbass02' post='734064' date='Feb 3 2010, 02:05 PM']Ill sneak this in quietly here, and see who spots it before I make a thread about it but wizard now also make a pbass style split humbucker in a jazz sized casing. It's amazing and solo'd in a neck position can make a jazz sound like a big punchy p bass and if you roll back the tone a smidge... Instant 70's funk tone. In the bridge location it adds beef and punch and bite. A great pickup, called the 'Gaffer' might be worth partnering it with something the the wizard trad or even the area 51 stealth for massive snarly badness![/quote] i cant see this on the website!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote name='jezzaboy' post='726904' date='Jan 27 2010, 09:21 PM']Words of wisdom on bass. From me? Wrong guy!!! You are quite welcome to come down and have a blast on mine on saturday. It`s a Highway 1 but it`s near enough! We are playing in Elderslie. Jez[/quote] we arent gigging till the 3rd of april in greenock so have a few weekends off although im sure im on babysitting duty as my wife did it last weekend as i was gigging. are you lot getting a gig in Dakota anytime soon?

well I think im selling my gretsch for about 350, so may go for the sale rather than the swap. Not 100% sold on the P-bass though jez, any words of wisdom?

yeah its all original and candy red/metalic red. Im using a jag which im assuming has a jazz styled profile neck and lots of tones. Are these basses 1 dimentional?

Can anyone give me a rough price on a P-Bass MIM circa 92 Cheers Steven

It features two pickups, and black scratchplate, and individual volume and tone controls for both of the humbucker pickups. [/i] What a load of bollocks. This is anything but a "faithful reissue" ... it's a cobbled-together Chinese-made bass which bears little resemblance to the original Hofner 185 (known in the UK & Commonwealth as the Artist). For all I know, it's a great player and fabulous value for money. But as a description, that link is so wrong that it's almost funny. If you want to know what a real 185 looked like, check the link in my signature or visit [url="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/"]http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/[/url] By far the biggest and most important difference is the scale. There is no way that bass will ever feel, play or sound like a real Hofner. For that, you have to have the original 30.5" scale, preferably strung with flats.[/quote] nice one jack, thanks for the info

has anyone seen or tried one of these basses H185 Hofner link here [url="http://www.voxshowroom.com/northcoast/hofner/hofner_guitar/artistbass.html"]http://www.voxshowroom.com/northcoast/hofn...artistbass.html[/url] going for 200 on ebay.....whats your thoughts?
