  1. Hi everyone

    I am looking to mod up a 96 Squire p bass. I want to change the pickups but the circuit in the bass at the moment is a little weak. What would people recommend as a good all round P bass pickup-circuit Combo? I tried the EMG active pickups but didnt find them too amazing, does this indicate that the bass itself is not worth it?

    All input would be great,
    Thanks

  2. Price: £650 + £10 shipping 'Reduced'
    This is my Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass produced in Japan with quite extensive upgrades.
    It is an absolute beast of a bass but I'm having trouble funding Uni fees at the moment so have to see something go.
    Features of this bass are:
    -John East Retro Pre amp- Installed
    -Seymour Duncan Quarter pounder pickups (Neck and Bridge)
    - Badass Bridge (With filed saddles)
    -build quality of Fender Japan.
    - The Thinnest jazz bass neck I have every played (What the geddy lee is known for)

    The condition of the bass is very good, however there are belt marks on the back of the bass, a scratch on the front of the bass (shown in Pictures) and for complete transparency this bass (from what I was told from the previous owner) had a factory problem upon production so the last three numbers on the serial number have been dremeled out and there is a very light 'Used' stamp on the rear of the headstock. From what I gathered online this meant that there was a electronic problem which was identified after production so once replaced the original serial number had to be replaced [b]The Bass is completely functional now.[/b] I believe at some point there was a stick on serial number but it must have fallen off. Please understand that I am not trying to pull any funny business and this is indeed an authentic fender bass, please check my feedback.

    All in all a great bass which I believe is priced reasonable when new this bass was £500, John east pre-amp £200 and Pickups £100.

    The Bass comes with a soft case but am willing to include the hard case for another £50. Will be posted through Interparcel.
    Many thanks, Tom

    Trades wise: Active bass with Jazz bass neck, But I absoluptely adore jazz basses so open to all offers.

  3. I had a listen yesterday and something stuck with me. I kept thinking that the tracks seemed to 'full' particularly in terms of bass. I couldnt focus upon anything in particular. I know this is a bit of a weird criticism but it just made it hard to really hook into any particular thing. I still enjoyed 'Dark Necessities' and 'Sick Love' as they seemed more focused but I generaly feel that most of the tracks ought to head somewhere (A La danny californias crazy ending) but never really had a payoff.
    I know that you shouldnt compare a band to their past material but I was a little undewhelmed, especially as I really enjoyed I'm with you past 'look around'.
    Wonder if anyone else has my trouble.

  4. Hi everyone,
    I am looking for a string mute for my jazz bass which can be deployed easily, rather than the traditional "shove some foam" method as I need it to be deployable rather quickly for that great thud sound.
    I see that on the Fender Custom Shop Sean Hurley signature:
    http://www.fendercustomshop.com//series/artist/sean-hurley-signature-1961-precision-bass-rosewood-fingerboard-faded-3-color-sunburst/
    there is a little metal plate that deploys the mute.
    Does anyone know whether these can be purchased separately and how easy/hard they are to install.
    many thanks, Tom

  5. Hi James. It's no problem I understand that it is an important factor.
    Unfortunately I do not have scale with me at the moment, However, I have been comparing it to my Mexican Jazz Deluxe which weights 9 pounds (4kg) and the jbr-80 seems of similar weight, maybe a hair lighter due to the slightly thinner body.
    Sorry that this is not as specific as it could be. Many thanks, Tom
