Thanks a lot for your help... Christ I really should have looked into this before buying the damn pedal. I stupidly thought that they would come with EU/UK/US parts as standard.

Here we are...

Anyone know whether this power supply would work? http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-100-240V-Power-Supply-Adapter/dp/B00AY9RY3S

I just bought a Marbass compressore and need to buy a UK power supply - I know it needs a 12v dc power supply but was wondering if anyone knows what the 2A, 3A and 6A stuff refers too?

I've been playing electric bass for 17 years now and only just bought my first non-4 string (a 6er) this past Friday. I've played around with 5 and 6 string basses before but, until now, I've never felt happy/confident enough to actually buy one. I must say I feel I've been a bit stupid and have been missing out massively! While I've been practising a fair bit over the last couple of days, the crossover hasn't been nearly as difficult to overcome as I feared! For anybody who has or is experiencing the same kinds of doubts as I was having, I'd suggest just going for it! I wish I'd switched years ago!

Really nice purchase!

[/quote] This is probably the one that appeared They're so, so rare and crazy difficult to get hold of... I'm loving it so far

I've finally started using an EBow that I've had lying about for a year or so and as a result I think I now need a compressor to stop the signal getting too loud and out of control when blending it with some finger picked loops... Mind you, this could be caused by my lack of playing/practise time with the EBow?!?!

And here is my newly (re)acquired 2013 American Standard... [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/jazz_zpsc6c75c3a.jpg.html"][/url]

My newly acquired 6-string Fender Jazz Bass... [URL=http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/jazz6_zpsafba661a.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag101/minuspilots/jazz6_zpsafba661a.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1417188303' post='2618005'] Thanks for that Is that a hercules one as well? I think I've got one of those in the depths of the cupboard somewhere, I'll dig it out and see if it fits. [/quote] Yeah it's a Hercules - here we are...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1417186938' post='2617973'] I didn't notice that, because I'm middle-class... [/quote] Cheers gents... I'm running a little low though - now I've got the bass situation sorted, I'd better get a couple of new bottles in - they're a lot easier to smuggle past the wife!

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1417186266' post='2617963'] I only found out these even existed a couple of weeks back... how does it play / sound? Also, as a side note... does that fit in your stand properly? I've got a K&M stand that holds the basses from the neck that isnt wide enough for six string necks, also the mini hercules one I have has the upturns at the front of the feet at just the wrong angle for my wal as its right on one of the knobs. I could do with a suitable stand... [/quote] Yeah it doesn't fit in that other stand properly. Thankfully, I actually got a new stand, a double one to take the 4 and 6 stringers - it fits alright in this stand - check it out...

[b]New bass day 2 of 2:[/b] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]It has just arrived... here is my 2009 model Fender American Steve Bailey 6-string Jazz Bass that I purchased from Vilem ([/font][/color]william64[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]). I've never bought a signature bass before, bit of a pet hate to be honest, but this is the only 6-string extended range bass that Fender make so I've been looking out for one since 2012. I can't wait to get started on this bass...[/font][/color] [URL=http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/jazz6_zpsafba661a.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1301.photobucket.com/albums/ag101/minuspilots/jazz6_zpsafba661a.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I bought a Fender Jazz Bass Steve Bailey 6-string from Vilem. Great communication and photographs of the packing process sent to me throughout... really incredibly well packed - it took me 20 minutes to get to the bass. Highly recommended and would 100% deal with again - top man.

[b]New (reunited) bass day 1 of 2:[/b] Here is my 2013 model Fender American Standard Jazz Bass that I originally bought brand new back in December 2013 and having only really used it as a studio bass, I naively chose to sell it on in October 2014. Thankfully Nick (Old Horse Murphy) contacted me earlier this month and very kindly offered me first refusal to buy it back. I didn't hesitate, it's a superb bass and I'm extremely pleased to have it back... My second acquisition is due later on today... I'm quite excited [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/jazz_zpsc6c75c3a.jpg.html"][/url]

I bought a Markbass Compressore in the end - waiting for it to arrive now... I'll have a good play around but I've been experimenting with using light finger plucking while also using an EBow so I feel like I definitely need some sort of compressor/limiter to prevent the EBow sounds overbearing the finger plucked loops... only time will tell once it's here

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.... Interesting!!! How are you finding your Jazz? Looks a beaut!

Would you have to carve up the bass at all to get a pre-amp into it? I'm sure Fender could do the 60s versions for the 5!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1416945374' post='2615396'] They come as stock in new USA standard jazz basses but mine doesn't have them as the five string version doesn't get them [/quote] Yes that's out of order really isn't it? My 4 sounds awesome with them. Have you thought about the Aguilar hum cancelling pickups as replacements?

...bought back the 2013 Fender Jazz Bass I sold to Nick last month! Super fast delivery, and as usual, great communication once again... I'm so pleased I have this bass back!
