Check out the Bassics BPA 01. There’s one on Reverb now. Expensive maybe but top quality and will hold its value.

Sorry about this guys. We’re hoping to have this resolved soon. We’ll update you here asap.

Definitely some of my faves there

Today I am announcing that we’re changing the name to the American Bass. Make it so.

I'm not sure I'm doing it the easiest way, but my workflow is this: Remove bass from backing track with Moises Export track without bass as .wav Put track into Garageband Fire up Quicktime video recorder and record using webcam (2012 iMac hence crap resolution) Hit record in Garageband Stop recording on Quicktime and Garageband Drag video file into Garageband and line up (annoying) Export as video file I'm playing from my pedalboard into my Roland VB99 which is acting as a USB interface and I guess a sort of pre-amp (I'm using some cab sim and slight EQ) There must be an easier way

Just a snippet of A Perfect Circle to demonstrate my Valco Distortion, then Fuzz

Here are some more: This one features the Lovetone Meatball and towards the end, my Bassballs for a synthy vibe:

The body shape differences are quite apparent side by side. The top horn on the JMJ is more open and the mass behind the bridge. Lower horn is a bit chunkier. Is one for flats and one for rounds? How do you find they compare?

OK well two coils behaving slightly differently but next to each other gives a similar effect lending to a P bass sound more than a normal humbucker. My L2000 did a very nice P in that mode (I forget what everything else was set but I think a bass cut in combination with the OMG?)

Good call. I forget the details but doesn’t the MFD have one extra hot coil in OMG mode? Any dual coil humbucking pickup with one hotter coil will do a great P sound. That’s why I got a Gemini Degenerate Tbird pickup in my Mustang.

Like yours, mine intonated ok with the originals but I got a bit paranoid about one popping off during a gig. I think later basses actually moved the bridge slightly closer to the neck, thereby moving the saddles back to compensate.

Here you go: 6-32 UNC I've got 2" on the E and A, and 2.5" on the D and G https://www.westfieldfasteners.co.uk/A2-ScrewBolt-PhilRaPan-UNCoarse0.1380.html

That’s a beauty! It looks like your saddles are right at the end of the screws - mine were, too. I managed to find out what screws they are and got some longer ones (kept the originals safe). I can look it up if you’re interested.

Hi mate. I’ve just checked via the stripe gateway and it does appear that there’s a second transaction which didnt make its way to us - no idea what’s happened there but I’ve refunded it now. I’ll look into it later in detail to try and work it out! Any more problems just let me know, we’ll make a note to double check next year.

I didn't know myself to be honest until I measured it just now. I've never really been sensitive to neck dimensions. I might get a JMJ one day for 'flats' duty so maybe I'd feel the difference when they're side by side.

My 66 seems to be about 40mm

I’ve just messaged them to ask wtf is going on, I’ll let you know if they reply!

Hi mate sorry for the slow reply. Everything looks normal from here - I wonder if it’s something to do with the email issues we’ve had recently. Either way, I can only see one paid renewal and nothing pending. Let me know if you see anything weird or have any problems and I’ll get right on it 🫡

Love that. It just looks like it sounds awesome. Sometimes you can just tell by looking!

Not sure RE the necks; pretty sure they’re the same but could be wrong. The bodies are interesting - aside from the contouring, they’re the same dimensions, however all reissues including the JMJ are slightly different, with more booty behind the bridge.

Even battery box designs are due improvement. My Celinder had one, but they’re a pretty cheap plastic affair which is really quite flimsy, and not that secure or satisfying to snap closed. Given the choice I think I prefer the Musicman early designs with a metal plate which screws over the battery cavity.
