Main reason I was checking it is it sounds a lot less meaty than the Dimarzio I have in my other p bass, which is my favourite bass for the tone.

Thanks for the info!

Multimeter on the ground and live bits on a jack plugged in to the jack plug, will that give a false reading?

I bought a used squier that has a Duncan designed quarter pounder p bass pickup. its only reading 8.6 k ohms, proper Duncan’s are 11.6k ohms. Are there any reasons it might be too low output or is it just a ropey pickup?

With Amazon Global store they charge the estimated import fees up front and reimburse the extra if the fees are less.

I’m just in the middle of a project putting a new neck on a HB rosewood tele, I’ll start a thread on Guitarchat when i’m done.

+1 on Amazon global store, you can save a fortune on DR strings. I have tried sunbeams and hi beams and love them, best strings I’ve used. Not pthat i’ve used many higher end strings but certainly far better than Rotosounds and Ernie Balls. DR are the only strings I use on my acoustic guitar, truly outstanding.

I forgot all about guitarchat! The review section looked very forlorn so just posted one, I’ll review my other guitars at some point soon. I will make an effort to be more active on there. Bass is my life but guitars are fun too!

Just bought a p bass pickup, smooth and speedy delivery and an effortless deal. Top banana.

I’m worried this is a ruse by guitarists to gather bass players on to a ship then torpedo it.

My bezzie mate loves those guys! Mind you, he is a Transformers fanboy. It makes me happy that there are people like this in the world, playing music they love, having fun and making conventions interesting.

Can you honestly say that you voluntarily pay more tax than you have to because you think it’s morally right to pay more? I seriously doubt you’d find a single basschat member who feels duty bound to pay more tax than they have to. And as for destroying high streets, that blame lies on many doorsteps. Local council’s mis management of high streets, business rates and parking, old fashioned business models, shops with nothing to offer to make up for the extra prices and ultimately the choice of the consumers who choose where to spend their hard earned and minimum tax paid earnings. Amazon don’t force people to buy from them, they simply offer a better product and consumers vote with their debit cards.

+1 for DSL straps, I have 5 and they’re the only ones I use. really soft leather and Rey comfortable.

I’m in Manchester and have some you could have, bit of a trek though. i reccomend Halfords, got a few bike boxes from there over the years. ring them in the morning and ask them to hold on to one when they get a delivery.

This is handbag. makes me think of a Luis Vuitton every time I play it.

What are you all whining about? It has a new truss rod cover. i’m going to make an offer right away.

My basses are Handbag and Mr. Sparkle. No prizes for guessing which this is

https://www.facebook.com/events/227639728173552/?ti=ia Room 22 uk on Facebook. my band are getting gigging more this year with our noisy take on indie rock covers. Some Oasis, Reef, Stone Roses, Billy idol, ugly Kid Joe, and whatever else we fancy. And the sparkliest bass in the known universe. anyone near Bury fancies a night out I’ll even buy you a pint!

Bass preamp pedal or bass Di pedal is what you want to search for. Tbh though, the Behringer is as good as anything else under £150 out there. does the job nicely. I only play through the bands PA now, not carrying an amp around is great!

I always get my bubble wrap from a supermarket, from the fruit and veg! they are always happy for you help yourself as it saves them binning it. Apples are the best, they have loads on.

I gig through a Hughes and Kettner tubemeister 5 into the bands PA. i’ve tried Plenty of dedicated bass preamps and amplifiers DI into the mixing desk and never been happy. thought i’d try my guitar amp just for the hell of it and it is the best i’ve ever sounded! playing through amps I always use my bass amp but into our PA, my guitar amp rocks.

I had the Harley Benton fretless jazz. Surprisingly nice bass, good Wilkinson pups and as already mentioned, great Mwah! I’ve never owned any jazz basses other than Harley Benton’s so can’t compare. Got a fretted one atm with the Roswell pickups and they sound great too. They are great value basses and plenty good enough to gig with.

The body shape looks sooo comfy to play
