Ta John, will have a look.

I`m looking for some singing lessons from someone in the Glasgow area. I need someone who is a bona fide teacher who does it for a living and not someone who was almost on the X factor! Before I trawl Google, can anybody recommend someone?

There have been a few topics on them. The search button is your friend. Looks nice in white.

You said it yourself Artisan and I agree totally. It is a lot of cash for a basic instrument. But if you want a Fender US P bass new, you might have to bite the bullet.

Cheers Jack.

Sorry Jack, should have said non powered mixer. I will have a look at the Pre gear you mention.

[quote name='Jack' timestamp='1489238928' post='3255388'] With pedal preamps there can be a volume issue. The pedals have a rather limited amount of gain they can provide for a few reasons, mainly that they're limited by the 9V power supply but also they're designed to work in front of standard amps rather than power amps. You'll get sound either way, but I've seen the pedal output volume maxed and the gain controls on an amp maxed and still the signal LEDs are just barely being tickled. You really have two options, one is to find an amp with the lowest input sensitivity that you can, ideally around 0.775V. Option 2 is to use another gain stage to boots the pedal before the power amp. If you use the RBI you'll likely have a wider choice of suitable power amps. Oh sorry, I should answer your question. QSC PLX??02, pick the one you feel you need. I have a 1602 that does 300W a side into each of my Barefaceds, and the possibility of 1600W into both if I wanted. They have either a 1.2V or 1.7V input sensitivity I think, depending on the model, so you may find your RBI will sing and your VT Bass a little on the quieter side. [/quote] What about going into a pedal (Sansamp, BD 121 etc), taking a line out into the mic premap on a passive mixer, then into a poweramp? Might be a daft question.

Due to this topic, I took my Pawn Shop along to a rehearsal last night. Sounded bloomin good to me turned up nice and loud. Might take it to a gig or two.

Jeid bought some tuners from me. Good guy to deal with, no probs whatsoever. Jezza

I wonder if this is the bass he used in Live at Donington in 91? Be perfect in my band...if I had a spare few thousands!

I have a Pawn Shop model which I don`t think you can buy anymore. I don`t really use it to be honest and have almost sold it on several occasions but it`s the wife`s favourite and it`s so damm sexy. It sounds like a hot P bass to me and as I have 3 other basses with versions of the P bass pickup, I usually grab one of them. Use medium scale strings and I have fitted D`addario rounds, 45 - 100 if I remember right. If I was to buy another short scale, I would get a SS Jag with the PJ pickups. They seem to get a good write up and are a good bit cheaper than a Mustang.

Ordered a P bass wiring kit from John on Sunday afternoon, it arrived first thing this morning (Tuesday). Great service and a tidy job. Thanks for your help John. Jezza

Band: Her way to hell AC/DC tribute Dead simple set up. Main bass - Ibanez SR750. Just started using this on the last 2 gigs as it`s a great piece of kit. Backup usually a BB1100s.

Hold on a bit. Never mind the bass. A girl singing in a Prog band???

Hey Donny. If you are fitting the Fender copy Wilkinson tuners, you might have to file the plates down a bit on a couple of them. I had to do this to the last 2 on mine.

I have a SR750 and it is a cracking bass. Cost me £735 ish. Better than any Fender I have played. Mine has Norstrand designed pickups and they are fantastic so I imagine the Norstrand made ones on the SR1300 will be better. But it`s true about the 2nd hand value of Ibbys. Have you had a look at Cort basses? They manufacture most of the Ibanez basses and are very good value.
