Here is my '78 Fender Jazz Bass, original from neck up, with the exception of refret and a new nut:

This bass is just too gorgeous. Buy it, someone, please! I can't stand seeing it...

This little pedalboard can swallow a lot of pedals. No pedal hangs over the edge; the camera perspective makes that...

The Mondo wasn't delivered when I took the pic...

I sell a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power Mondo and a Pedaltrain PT1 in a Mono M80 softcase. Se links:

Only used at home. Included is a "double voltage doubler cable" to the Mondo. The power supply is mounted under the board with the included hardware. Velcro - the soft side - is mounted on the board. Borrowed images, but in the same state. Cardboard boxes and manuals are included. Can be sent at buyer's expense.

New: 5369 SEK = £414 = 558€
[b]My price 4200 SEK = £324 = 436€[/b]

I've got got a Genz Benz Streamliner which I really like. The only niggle I have is there is no footswitch to engage the gain! I know I could just walk over to my amp and hit the switch but I don't. Is there anyway I can use a pedal to drive the preamp and not increase the volume just get a natural distortion. If so what would be a good suggestion?
[/quote]
I use to do like this: I set the gain and the preamp volume at around 2 o'clock, depending on what bass I use. Then I control the overdrive with my fingers and playing style. When I "hold back" the amp is nice and clean, but when I dig in I am rewarded with a nice grind, without changing settings. Try your own settings to find your own "sweet spot"...

I've got a fretless 55-02, a fretted 55-94 and a US JO5. The 55-XX basses are more "all round tone machines" mimicing J, P and MM in a rather good way. The JO is a real J. Nothing more, nothing less! Well, the 35" scale and the fifth string makes difference, of course. If you are a "tweaker": go for the 55, if you just want to play your Jazz Bass: go JO! Same necks, different bodies! I am a Jazz Bass guy myself so I prefer the touch and feel of the JO5, even if the 55-XX basses are more versatile.

This is... immoral...! Kind of!
Nice!

Start with knocking on them; if the box gives a hollow boomy sound, then it is not stiff enough. (Like EBS Classic 112, that acts like a cardboard box...) The only thing to do to cure [i]that [/i]problem is to put "stiffening rods" inside the cab, from side to side, from bottom to top, from baffle to back, just like a forest of bass bars. Cheap cabs are cheap of a reason...

To quote Ritchie Blackmore: "We want everything louder than everything else." This setup is overkill. In every situation. Period. But it was nice to experience the shockwave...
Other than that: it sounds very very good. Clean, full, articulated etc. (I won't use the word "transparent" since it would be silly.)

I just had to put them all up and let them stretch out for a while. Eden WT800B, 2x2126 and 2xH115 with a little help from their friend Steinie...

Once again:

...or just get this rig:

Easy storage too...

Personally, I always string thru body if possible. I feel the difference in my hands more than I hear it, though. Then there is said to be an issue with stringing flats thru body, that the "sharp bend" at the bridge will harm the windings of the strings. I have never encountered that, and considering the original electric bass, the old P-bass, had string thru body bridge and the only strings around were flats, well, there cannot be as much a problem as we may think. I use mostly Lakland basses, and all of them are strung thru body, even those with flats.

...Option 3: Buy a nice pair of TKS 112's... Looks nice and lightweight, but by far the most expensive option. Around twice the price of the 2x112+11+ combination. ...
[/quote]
I really don't understand how TKS can be more expensive than EBS. Even the EBS 112 Classic, the Chinese low budget model, is more expensive than the smallest TKS 112 here in Sweden. Not to mention quite bad in comparison. The EBS Neo 112 is 4959 DKK in copenhagen (4Sound prices) and the TKS S112 around 2400 DKK here in Sweden. Add shipping and you'll be well under 3000 DKK. Here is a basement pic of my new old Eden WT800B and the two TKS H115 cabs of the new compact model...

This is a very clean and powerful setup...

Whatever you do, don't buy the Diago patch cable kit! The tips of the tele plugs loosen with a great risk to getting stuck in your pedals. I bought two kits; at least 50% of the plugs were bad.

I bought a nice Eden WT800B from Ferenc, a really nice guy. I highly recommend doing business with him. Respect!

Well, I sold my chorus, phaser, flanger, delay and reverb and downsized the pedalboard. That's how good this thing is. A chorus that puts the 80's back in your tone, the Edge-delay, polyphonic octaver that TRACKS, nice reverb that doesn't sound like a steel spring or plate, etc, etc.

The headstock of my Steinberger bass... 

Also a bass face...

If you like the tone, why not try to find a second hand active monitor that you can link your sound/tone to. They can often be found at bargain prices and are useful for other stuff too. My keyboard player has two JBL Eon's and a personal mixer for his keyboard set up as well as for his monitoring of the rest of the band...

I sold this beauty in December just to get money to buy a blue Lakland JO5:

G&L JB made in USA. The new owner is more than happy...
