  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. [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
  5. If its as good as some of you seem to think I had best hold on to it for a bit - couldn't afford a new one, that's for sure
  6. It's the solder version and works a lot better with a new battery and some idea of what the switches do, for which thank you al
  7. Thanks - it's a jretro 01 for sure.
  8. Thanks all It needs a new battery I think as its out put is low I will look tonight and see if it is clip or solder
  9. http://www.bestbassgear.com/wiring-diagrams/JohnEast-JRetrodeluxe01-Wiring-Diagram.pdf It's a j retro deluxe 01 Any suggestion as to a fair price ? If seems to work
  10. This is it : [IMG]http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/7A584089-E405-42B8-AE07-89471148BA78-7602-0000093115774EE5_zps1fba3fa6.jpg[/IMG] Any idea what it is or what the knobs / switches do ?
  11. No you're right - three knobs and jack socket on plate I think I'm at work and don't have it to refer to
  12. [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1371640871' post='2116450'] They are about 210 new, but older sh ones go for about 100, new ones in ace condition about 130ish. I might be tempted to buy it off you as I need one. Send me some pics and details mate. [/quote] Thanks - will do . Think its the deluxe
  13. [quote name='DorsetBlue' timestamp='1371640423' post='2116440'] http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/East_Preamps_J_Retro.html [/quote] Thanks for that

  15. I have just acquired one of these from a mate - anyone have an idea what they are worth ? Don't seem to come up often on the sale board I'm now firmly a precision fan so its surplus to my need Thanks
  16. I for one will take a look. Thanks
  17. That's very pretty
  18. Think I once owned your p bass - sunburst jap with Emg ?
  19. 1. The sound - when I realised what it was. 2. The fact it was bigger and less fiddly-I never could remember many chords 3. Listening to "under a blood red sky" where Adam clayton is way up in the mix and realising that's where the power is
  20. Howard made this thing of beauty for me http://i1149.photobucket.com/albums/o600/geek99/new%20bass/7BBA1C03-1BB3-47E5-8FCF-8FD50930E718-674-000000DDE52B253C_zps0f31445b.jpg
