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.

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.

Congratulations! Absolutely stunning

The adhesive may react though....

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.

I last sold these in 2006 and the head looked just like on the website... http://www.tokai-guitars.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=115&category_id=6&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=31 I wouldn't trust a 'sue happy' guy.

That'd be my Ozark acoustic. Had it since i was 16, it's seen many a beach and the gig bag is great for having a nap on. Edit - acoustic bass of course...

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1432500057' post='2782135'] So really, and only due to medical circumstances, I'm a 5/4. On a mission impossible.. Sorry😚 [/quote] I totally get this mate. I was only saying earlier in a PM that I haven't clicked with any P Bass 100% since my old 1964 P bass was sold to go towards my flat deposit. Though it was not my favoured wood combo, it seriously worked for me, and not just because it was old, I've played plenty of average ones. Since then I've had a load of Precisons, some very lovely ones too, but none have clicked and mostly because of my medical issues and basses weight, size, or balance issues. Enter Mike Lull, my first was a second hand one and it showed me that there is a way forward for me and as I keep repeating my new one, now having my preferred woods, makes me a 5 in theory, though I'm safer saying a 4 because even though it's 8lbs and has perfect balance, I may need to commission a 7.5lbs bass too. I'm just lucky I could sell some great gear to get a Lull, amazing basses. I now have less basses, but better suited ones to me. Good luck with your mods
