I wont be there till 2 at the earliest as I have to do shopping and get a tyre changed first.

I'm also bringing my CIJ jazz 62 reissue with Prometeus pickups.

Wonderful thanks. My bass playing colleague ben (non bc-er) showing some interest too

Dave ? I'd like to try the b2a out of sheer curiosity please I'd like to borrow someones fretless for 5 minutes for the same reason. In return I have a cij jazz with split coil hbs that shep liked a lot and a surprisingly good vintage stingray copy. I might bring my amp but am more likely to bring my zoom b21 and some cans

Simon Please bring your Cij precision ? I'd be interested to compare it to my cij jazz. Will also bring my stingray copy as its surprisingly good.

So did we fix a date/venue ? Can probably attend

It was me. The room is upstairs, and s I explained in my reply above, bass amps are heavy . I also recall that guy with the seven string smacking his head badly on the door jamb at the top of the stairs.

Sometime in new year please as partner very tired due to nocturnal baby and illness. Actual attendance very much depends on conditions on the day or more accurately the night before Somewhere ground level would be good. Shep: I got humbucking versions of those italian pickups for my jazz now

Mine has 3 knobs, no tug bar, jap pups, copper strap and p, I think, alder body Has button on headstock rear. I think £550 sounds a bit high myself There's also export and non export cij to cinsider

[quote name='parker_muse' post='953721' date='Sep 12 2010, 05:16 PM']The 'Vintage' copy. It's 3eq active.[/quote] I have the same one and its very quiet. Mine is copper shielded (see the sticky thread the top of the forum) but is wasn't very noisy before. May just be a fault in the mains electrics in a particular location

behringer xenyx 802 ? I was thinking no more than £60 ish - dont need anything flash. My amp doesnt have phones out and I like its sound but have small baby. Amp has DI socket and reachable speaker connections that I can disconnect.

can someone please recommend me a small mixer? not rack mount battery operated is ok must have about four input of either phono, rca or a mix of both. must have volume controls for each input. MUST have a headphone jack. Preferably a current model that I can get new off ebay or GAk or somesuch thanks for your time.

i bought his CIJ jazz and he was a true gent about it all at every step. RIP

Please do and let us know

I have a law degree as it happens. The OP should be entitled to his money back, but the shop are first entitled to take 'a reasonable time' to inspect the goods to see if they can repair. It doesn't matter legally if he's being inconvenienced now, but if he starts a Small Claim then he can ask for recompense for it. I'd send them a letter stating the facts and giving them 7 days to state what they are going to do to assist. They may be waiting for parts and have forgotten to tell him. After 7 days I'd be talking to the credit card people. If they can't help, and they have quite a lot of clout with retailers, I'd start a small claim in the county court and cvlaim interest for the entire period of loss

Not sure that's right as that would put the two pickups together in series? Each pup has two black and two white.

I have some new jazz bass sized humbucker pickups. They are sealed and the coils are visible at rear so can see one black and one white coming from each coil. There is also a yellow shielding wire, I know what to do with that. I want to wire in series as my cij jazz is naturally quite bright and trebly. I know white is signal and black is earth; 1 white goes to the pot and 1 black goes to earth. Can someone tell me how to connect the coils properly ? Do I just take the spare white and black and join them ? Does it matter which black and which white I choose ? Thanks Edit : each pickups coils in series, not two pickups in series together

Joined, but it really doesn't work well on a blackberry (not even the mobile version).

Sorry - was being thick

[quote name='steve' post='911461' date='Jul 31 2010, 08:06 PM']I don't think it's necessarily the drummers job to anchor the song, that depends on the song itself, and the individual parts the band members play - if the drummer has a busy pattern to play, he'll probably rely on you to keep a solid foundation, that being said, it shouldn't be your job all the time either.[/quote] I agree - there are enough varispeed drummers about that you'd be lucky to be able to rely on one. I think everyone in a band is responsible for keeping their own time, and a reasonably competent musician should be able to mould their idea of time to broadly fit what everyone else is doing. A lead guitarist I know said "[i]oh, I dont bother counting or ought like that, I just rely on the drummer[/i]"

Anyone ?

See post 9 ?

Newbie question alert ... Does using Di out defeat the speakers ?

Interesting idea thx

Thx for the pointer to the ART gizmo. I have a small baby and the amp is thus underused, I really like the tube emulator on it but can't use it at any volume above a whisper. That's why a headphone amp is not ideal
