I used an early 4003 (2 piece scratch-plate) for years and never had a problem with the factory pickups, so they're the only ones I have any direct experience of, assuming the current crop are similar I recommend getting them.

What's the wood and construction of your bass and what's your desired sound?

Can you link to page 64 and onwards if they're hosted? It's a bit of a cliffhanger atm.

Had an early nineties P mim from new for a couple of years, sure it felt like a twig compared to my 84 4003 I'd been using however sound men liked it and it was very easy to get a good sound from. I never really took to it though, didn't have a soul. But hey it was a good tool and did the job.

Hmm sticky online tings. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1hL_9jiWWY[/media]

Where are you trying to download from?

Have fun in Glasgow, just don't make eye contact with the Pigeons.

I can't see it doing any harm, unless like me you're crap and just getting back after a 20 year sabbatical.

He was also the main reason for my liking Japan , superb stuff . [/quote] Yeah Mr. Karn is such a cool cat. Here's the above in 480p. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W14YmRABFFg[/media]

[quote name='neepheid' timestamp='1389898674' post='2339355'] You probably don't need a new/better bass, but if you want it, providing it doesn't impinge upon the maintenance of the roof over your head or the regularity of your meals then go for it. If it's street cred you're after then don't buy a Gibson bass - you'll be met with a mix of disbelief, confusion and ridicule in about equal quantities A Gibson SG will feel kinda familiar to you and I guess the addition of the bridge pickup will give you some variety, but for a complete change of sound it's probably best to go in a different direction. Fender Mustang will be completely different to the EB-0 but equally limited with the single pickup (but that sound might be exactly what you're looking for). If you think you could stretch to 32" scale then there's the Squier VM Telecaster Bass Special, which has a Wide Range humbucker at the neck and a Jazz pickup at the bridge.

Cygnus X1.

Last week I wanted a new bass this week I have one, all thanks to Pete for selling his bass to me. The sale was smooth, the price was cheap and the packing perfect and I'll gladly purchase from him in the future. A totally recommended top-hole chap!

Cool for cats daddy-O.

project_c just say the word and I'll think of it no more. And I don't have the cash having bought an ashdown EB combo and a bass since last pay day.

[quote name='BetaFunk'] ..and it won't go for £150 that's for sure. [/quote] I can so see that stripped, sanded and stained. Oww gas...:parf:

So this bass has been sitting unsold for about 2 months and the stores response is to raise the price again. Were I in your shoes I'd make a similar offer assuming he set it up (Is the neck still in need of a tweak as per your other thread?). Good luck.

That's a lovely looking bass, where did you get the pearl plate?

If you can carry a tune I'd go 4 for [b]I so her standing there[/b], up the bpm a lill and they'll love you.

Photos, not at the mo. It's an aged cream/ivory finish with a rosewood neck and tort gaurd, the hardware's all old looking.

Next month, hopefully, some pickups.
