  1. yes purchase from new and pick ups are set at a good height.

    got these comments from a review site:
    [color=#3A3A3A]All of the pots (vol,tone) are useless beyond the 1st 10%. The pickups are hum cancelling, but not really humbuckers.
    &[/color][color=#3A3A3A]
    a pretty good bass but for an annoying hum which I cannot get rid of, all the metal parts including the bridge are well connected to the negative side of the output jack so should be going to earth OK but I cannot get rid of it.[/color][color=#3A3A3A]
    It is OK at rehearsal volume but cranked up live it is so bad I have given up on playing at it gigs which is a pity as it plays very well and I really liked the sound, I have tried different amps but with no improvement.[/color]

  2. Hi all i purchased a PRS Kingfisher for a great price and she plays like a dream the only trouble is the signal is very weak/thin are there any fixes/suggestions? i dont really want to go active but should i swap out the Pots? maybe get a on-board passive preamp
    ive seen [font="helvetica, arial, sans-serif"][color="#282828"]Glokenklang, Darkglass, Aguilar mentioned .....the bass has a separate vol for each humbucker + 1 tone[/color][/font]

  3. hi all
    I own one of the original USA 4 string Cirrus basses (must be an early one from the faded stamped serial number).
    anyway i need to have a clear-out but was wondering how much it would be worth?
    its a 35inch scale and i'm more suited to a 34inch and that's the only reason im thinking of selling her, as its the best bass i've owned in my 30 years and ive owned a shed load of much more pricey basses, and if its good enough for John Taylor hey.

    cheers

  4. cheers jack1592

    ive got the chance of a Ibanez SR700 or a SR1600 for just £160 more, is the 1600 worth the extra £160(it has nordstrand pups, doesnt seem to have any other major differences)

    ive a an original Peavey Cirrus that i should sell but would never get what its worth and its an amazing bass i just struggle on the 1st/2nd frets with my small hands, im hoping that the 34" Ibanez will be much more suitable

    cheers

  5. hi im looking for new/used bass but modern times mean that its hard to try certain models out the shortlist is

    Carvin bass kit bk40
    Ibanez SRXXXX any of the range from 500-1200 or ATK800
    Overwater tanglewood Jazz (ive tried the aspiration which is great just prefer a 34")


    i dont slap just fingers no pick mostly metal hard rock 70/80s Rock/Pop

    all advice gratefully received

    which would be the best bang for buck?

    thanks
    J
