    Up for sale is my recently purchased 1994 CIJ '72 Re-Issue Fender Jazz. It's got a couple of knocks and dings, but what would you expect for a well gigged 15 year old workhorse! It's all original, no mods at all. It's gorgeous and sounds the dog danglies! Just put a new set of Laklands on it. I'll be honest and say I'm not the best at setting up basses and I haven't had the money recently to take it to a pro, so while it's in no way unplayable, the action is just a little high for my tastes and I'm not good enough at doing it to sort it out myself I paid £500 for it a couple months ago, and it's not been out of the house since I got it, so would like as much of that back as possible Cheers James

    I won't lie I was like "What the HELL is Dave thinking?" when I saw you'd put it up for sale You made the right choice!

    Need. Money. Now.

    Yeah I caught that too. Absolutely amazing drummer. Those two = Bad ass rhythm section!!

    Sorry for the disappointment. I just thought it was a really tasty bit of great playing!

    No expression pedal input, and it's a standard filter, reacts to your dynamics. Because of the effects loop though there is a nifty little trick you can do. Plug whatever you want to trigger the filter (say the bass drum mic) into the input, then plug your bass into the return of the effects loop. It will be your bass sound coming through, but the filter will only be controlled by the kick drum So you can essentially sync the filter to be triggered by whatever you like, but have it effect your bass. Edit: Here's a vid that shows you what I mean.

    I already have a fretless Stingray. But if the price goes any lower I might just have to buy it for the sake of it. Seriously tasty bass at an awesome price. Anyone looking to get into fretless would be hard put to find a better bargain on a bass of such quality. What are you waiting for?

    Both of them look amazing Rich. Congrats

    [url="http://www.myspace.com/rawbiznesentertainment"]http://www.myspace.com/rawbiznesentertainment[/url] Listen to "Caught Up". Not usually my kind of music, but damn, just listen to the playing on that song. Amazing groove and chops...and still it fits the genre. Absolutely amazing.

    How do you think it sounds "off" Steve? I believe he used one on the recording. Thanks Mr Bay Splayer

    I have both volumes of the Jamiroquai transcription books and I must say they are asbolutely superb. Fantastic work by Simon (who is also a member here). Highly recommended.

    [url="http://www.youtube.com/user/Higgie1423"]http://www.youtube.com/user/Higgie1423[/url] Added "I Wish" and "Sledgehammer" to my Channel. I want to re-do the Sledgehammer vid because I'm not that happy with it - Just did it now but the lighting is terrible so you can't see much. I'll have to re-record tomorrow morning while its light
  13. Higgie
    Well yeah obviously. But nothing that I added intentionally to make it sound any better

    Thanks very much Chris I appreciate that coming from someone who predominantly plays fretless. Only effects I had on was a Mojohand Cream Pie overdrive set to minimum gain for a fattening of the clean tone, then into a Boss OC-2. No compression or anything else added, just recorded via webcam and then uploaded to YouTube

    I posted this in the "Recordings" forum, but thought I'd post it here as well as it seemed appropriate for the thread Here's my take on the track mentioned above: Admittedly the intonation isn't perfect - I haven't had the fretless long and I'm still getting to grips with it. Also I don't know why the video and audio aren't in Sync. Not quite sure what to do to fix it so will have to leave it as is for now!!
  16. Higgie
    Thanks mate, much appreciated I had to play very conciously indeed...The output on both my Stingrays is so hot it usually distorts the buffer in the OC-2 even in bypass if I dig in too much!

    Thanks Ped Haha sod off Steve
  19. Higgie
    I'm sorry for the latency issue but I don't know how to solve it! It's my first vid and I've only had the fretless a couple months so sorry for the intonation issues also...

    Not likely. You'd receive a Sledgehammer to the head and get dumped at the bottom of Solsbury Hill

    Ugh...If this were near London you'd have found your man.
  22. Higgie
    If I didn't already have one I'd have been selling anything I could to afford this Looks like a gorgeous bass, and if it's anything like mine should play like a dream as well. Good luck with the sale.

    [quote name='metaltime' post='633493' date='Oct 22 2009, 02:26 PM']I think having two boards is the way to go. A gigging board and a fun/experiment board. I am looking at doing something similar as there is only a few effects i use live but i love messing around and getting new sounds. Good work and nice board Higgie.[/quote] Yup, 2 boards is great. Although I think I want a 3rd And thanks for the kind words

    The original Fat Boost is a fantastic pedal...I loved mine when I had it
  25. Higgie
    I set the EQ on my 3 Band Stingray (Bass about 75% up, mids about 60% and treble about 75%) then boost all 4 bands by just a touch on the amp for some extra oomph. Then I set the input gain on my AG500SC till it's JUST clipping then back it off a bit. Whack up the output volume to suit and off we go
