    You can buy p bass pickups on eBay very cheaply. I got one out of a classic 50s model (a £700 model) for only £8. You can always sell tjhem on if you don't like them

    You need to check resistance also - less ohms is better. Check from bridge to earth pin, from pickup shielding to pin

    You know how someone says something and it reminds you of a story ? That's how it works for me - a song spills out like a story (well 70% of it anyway ) I then forget to write it down or tell anyone and it disappears into the ether

    If you have an offset mortgage like I do, get a 0% (for a period) card, put the money to pay off your purchase in a bank accoutn linked to your mortgage (or save it into there) and then pay off the card when the time comes. That way the mortgage gets the beneift

    I got the bass doc to build me a better "old" fender using similar spec components to the time (1973) and its awesome. Simple and they work. Even non players think they look good

    [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1371876185' post='2119038'] As KingBollock says. I use a Zoom B2.1u which produces a great sound. I think most effects processors these days will allow use of headphones. Zoom B1 is cheap as chips or B3 if you want a few more bells and whistles. [/quote] The b2 and b3 have basic drum machines built in also
