Why are you wanting shot of it Paul? It`s a really nice looking bass. I was looking at a black $$ in Strung out guitars this morning but it was £899 s/hand. Yaeh, £899 s/hand. Nice though. Jez

Just a shot in the dark but has anyone ever tried removing the pre amp and converting it to passive? I agree about the on off nature of the pre amp. It`s sometimes all or nothing but how would it sound passive? Or am I just being a muppett? Jez

Reality calling seller, reality calling seller...... Jez

Status do a round wound string that they smooth off so it looks like a flat but is a round. Really good strings, good value as well. In fact I`m popping over there the now.......... Jez Ps BE beat me too it!

If you are looking for a set of Gotoh tuners to fit the small diamater holes on a Jap Fender, here is a link. [url="http://www.highlystrung.co.uk/acatalog/Gotoh_Machine_Heads_for_Bass_Guitar.html"]http://www.highlystrung.co.uk/acatalog/Got...ass_Guitar.html[/url] If you get the GB1N-4, they will fit the small size of holes if you know what I mean. I had a set that I bought for a VMJ but they were too small. I eventually moved them onto chrisd24 who put them on his Jazz. Might be worth sending him a pm regarding size as the website is pretty vauge regarding size. Regarding the larger diamater, as said earlier you cant go wrong with a set of Wilkinson tuners. Vintage style, long keys, £24 and they stay in tune! Got a set on a P and the VMJ. Great value. It`s the one`s available r/h and l/h at the top of the page, £6 each.

I think that unless you go for an OLP you will have a fruitless search. I had one of those Vintage ET96 I think it was called and it was a piece of kack. Looked ok from a distance but was a waste of money in the end. And it weighed a bloomin ton. As already said, save your money and get a SUB or an OLP. Jez

I have the article from Guitar and bass mag with some nice piccys. I can scan it and send it to ya if you pm me your e mail. Jez

Merchant City in Glasgow have 1 in stock for £259. Just clocked it on their site the noo. Who`s gonna go down and try it? Jez

[attachment=58344:000904A0...AC1BF814.jpg] Okay Munk, back away from the post, back away now!! Jez

Jokin aside Steve, it`s a really nice bass. It`s a unique shape and if it kicks ass, put me down for a shot! Jez

OMG how long before this one is up for a swap? Well, William Hill has quoted me the following odds: weekend 2/1 Monday 3/1 Tuuesday 5/1 1 month 100/1! Only kidding Steve. Mabye By the way, is that a body in that case? Jez

[quote name='GarethFlatlands' post='942853' date='Sep 1 2010, 11:53 PM']Had my first proper practice tonight with the Sansamp and wow, through my practice amp, a Peavey TKO (or is it a TNT?) it sounded amazing. I wasn't even driving the amp hard but the sound filled the room. Just put the EQ on as flat as possible and used the amps volume controls. I totally underestimated the difference it would make. If you can try one out, you'll want one![/quote] Why not put it into the effects return jack socket and all you are using the amp is for the power side only and the SA is doing all the tone shaping. That`s what I do and it`s the biz. Jez

I`m usually too busy breaking down the gear and if anyone wants to talk to me, I guide them to the "I love me" singer who buggers off and starts networking as he calls it. In other words, not helping with getting the gear put away. A couple of weeks ago, a girl, ugly and pissed (my favourite kind), tried to speak to me about something. The trouble was I was playing and doing backing vocals at the time. The bouncers came and dragged her away but not before she had managed to kick over a pint of orange. Jez

Aye, the Jag I had wasn`t up to much. It was quite heavy and buzzed like a bugger if you were near a lighting rig and had it in active mode. Didn`t sound that good either. Having said that, most people who have them seem to like em so mine must have been a "Kinyobi bass". That`s Japanese for friday. And watch that you don`t switch both pickups off. Jez

Gotta keep the 72 P Clarky. It`s sex on a stick and whilst the AV is a nice bass it will never, IMO, have the kudo`s of the P. If you sold it, I think you would regret it the moment it`s left your possesion. But at the end of the day, it`s down to you to decide, no man or woman can make that decision for ya. And you can`t put one in storage and have it sitting in it`s case, in the dark, all alone and unloved. Jez

T birds. i`ve had 3 of em cos I love the way they look and sound but I can`t get em to sit comfortbly on my bod. Bummer! Jez

I know that Pete has been reported as being out of UFO due to there being something wrong with his liver but that must be 2 year`s by now. As someone on here more than likely knows him, is the guy ok? Any sign of him returning to the band? The reason I`m asking is that they are on the High Voltage concert on Sky arts and they don`t the same without old Pete. Jez

At one time I had 9 but am down to three and a half. Status Energy which is my main gigging bass, a Squire VMJ much modified and a Fender P bitsa which I use as a back up but secretly really like. The half is an Epiphone EBO plie of kack that I gave away but has been returned to me, much to my displeasure. So if anyone wants to come and get it pm me. It will need a bit of a set up but it`s playable. Jez

I`m not really a big fan of him but total respect to the guy. Message in a bottle, so simple but exactly what the song required. I love the fact that he plays one of the most beat up bass I have ever seen and looks damm cool with it. As for his attitude, I have a Parkinson interview he did a few years ago with Billy Connolly on the show as well and he comes across as a right decent bloke. He states that even if he wasn`t a multi zillionare, he would still be out gigging and would have a day job. All round top bloke. Jez
