    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1433164946' post='2788431'] It's nice to play Stax/Motown with flats and rock with rounds, admittedly (for example)... but it's possible to get a myriad of tones from flats by varying playing position, using a pick, using various FX and pre-amps, etc. I like rounds, but I prefer the silkiness of my La Bellas... um... ...dammit, I'm just going to have to get another bass and fit it with DR Fat Beams. Oh, well... [/quote] You're missing a trick..... Double necks, duh

    Without getting too deep and messy here, I always thought the relationship between the string and the bass depends on the relationship with the music being played.

    Bought a pedal, received a pedal. All good, cheers.

    [quote name='krispn' timestamp='1431810512' post='2775286'] The review was from the link I posted - not my words but stuff that I did notice but said so much more eloquently than I could have. Im seriously thinking about another one (currently using a Basswitch for preamp/eq/di) as my drive unit - might be a good choice as they are really solid. [/quote] Cheers for that, I've been enjoying mine for some time, will be looking at it in a new light now

    Sure, it does look good by all accounts. Thanks for the reply. I should really expand on what I said too, given that it's programmable and leaning on the digital side, I'm wondering if that affects the natural tone of the instruments like many high end digital pedals do? It's not something everyone notices, but I do and it's my pet hate!

    *** I tried one, see my later post of you're interested**** I'm thinking about buying a Source Audio Programmable EQ, but wonder if anyone has any experience of using them on bass? How are they? The programmable feature draws me to it, that's an essential for why I'm looking, and they are a £100 at Thomann so I'm getting ready to pull the trigger.... Thanks.

    [quote name='David Nimrod' timestamp='1433016744' post='2787152'] . C'mon, somebody try an Offer on me! [/quote] Yeah, c'mon somebody, drop the man an offer!!! Those pot codes are the wrong ones to date it, but if I'm not mistaken I can see 7504, maybe another 7 and the bit before obscured? So, therefore could be CTS and from 4th week of 75. Either way, it's not a big deal on a players bass is it? Shots of the underside of the pickup would be much more useful though. Obviously looks like a well used bass, the red in the sunburst has faded nicely so it's had a ton of exposure that matches the natural relicing. This could make a great players bass for someone who likes the feel of a well worn bass that has some 70's mojo. Any idea of the weight David?

    [quote name='Kempy535' timestamp='1432799026' post='2785006'] This is pretty much my perfect bass. I really hope you sell it quickly before I do some thing stupid GLWTS [/quote] Cheers Kempy, I hear that Would be nice to sell it quick, it sure is teasing me having it around. I really can't justify owning a Jazz Bass anymore but everytime I see it my mind goes bonkers!!

    I'm with Chris B about the Tonehammer, great pedal. Also, the right compressor can give you a fuller and warmer tone. New pickups aren't always the answer.

    [quote name='ash' timestamp='1432663869' post='2783762'] Hi folks looking for a bit of help I have a nice old '64 Epiphone Rivoli. It sounds and plays great but the tuners are really slipping these days. I wondered if there was a new alternative so I wouldn't need to drill any new holes or anything? The existing tuners are the smaller slimmer shaft nickel 'Kluson' - I'd guess - types. Thanks! [/quote] Clive Brown would be the man to ask first.

    Always nice to get a super quick turnaround. It's probably coming on the same shipment as my new Lull pickguards, though somehow I get that feeling that you're going to be the happier punter that day!

    If I'm right, the Zoom will bring the bass up to line level so the mixer will get a decent signal. The rest is then up to the PA. Edit, looks like the B2.1u unit has the DI option. Still worth a try though perhaps. Hopefully you'll get a better answer soon.

    discreet

    Chiliwailer replied to discreet's topic in Feedback

    It's been my pleasure to buy a pedal from Mark, not because it's a cool pedal, but because the PM's enabled me to confirm what I already suspected.....that Mr Discreet is a genuine, neighbourly, warm hearted, bass passionate and all round good guy. And of course, communication was spot on, delivery very speedy and an easy transaction all round. Great chatting with you pal, until the next time.

    [quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1432578523' post='2782947'] But still, for me, it's money well spend. [/quote] Exactly, is there a cooler pre CBS than a custom colour?!! Great that it sounds nicer too. Such a good move you've made, enjoy!
  21. Chiliwailer
    Congratulations! Absolutely stunning
  22. Chiliwailer
    Looks a gem Gary, GLWTS, this is going to raise some pulses!
  23. Chiliwailer
    Cheers Jo, and your magic fingers sounded pretty good too
  24. Chiliwailer
    The adhesive may react though....
  25. Chiliwailer
    That's a great mod. Just a friendly heads up, be careful that it doesn't leave an impression in the pickguard, these old ones can mark from pressure, you may already see that where the pickup cover and original thumbrest go.
