Just remember not all P basses sound the same anyway, its a case of use your ears to see if you like it. A change of string can make much more difference than having a second pup on the bass and not using it.

I think some Low and high knobs on amps are shelving filters. Not sure if that adds anything to the discussion though.

Yeah, turns out he just sent me the store link to show me the bass. He has seen one on eBay for £390 in mint condition, inc delivery.

In my defence I'd like to state that i have no will power. It's a medical condition and ill try and get a note from my GP 🙂 I'm happy that i got the new head though. It wasnt a GAS thing at all, it is defiantly a need issue. I just couldn't fit my larger head in to the gig bag. Yeah, i could have brought a larger gig bag, but then........

What do you guys think of the Yamaha RBX5A2 5-String? Asking for a mate who has seen one in the Yamaha shop for £640.

Not even the month.....

I had Bart's in my old Lakland 55-01. Pretty sure they were MK1's. Quite boring pups, although very much usable.

The B1on is a smaller B3, as in both use the older engine. The B1 Four shares the same quality as the B3n. Either are more than up to the job for home/headphone practice, but if it was me (and it was), id get the B1 four as its much easier to use.

My Stomp will be sold before my B1 Four will. I only use my Stomp at home, and id happily go back to using the B1 Four for headphone practice if i had to.

I have a B1on, and used it a lot for playing at home. I then got a B1 Four and not used the B1on since. Then i got a Stomp and not used either, but the B1 has a huge advantage in that it runs off batteries. For that reason im keeping the Four.

Yeah, as i found out. Ive played a whole set with it before, no issues, but i dont often wander past the 12th fret expect for that song.

Slightly off topic, i was playing a Dingwall at the weekend. Ive never found them any different to play compared to my usual basses, and its so easy to play. What surprised me was i tried to play the middle bit in Alright Now, and for the life of me couldn't find those top notes. I gave up lol.

Not hard to find at all https://www.amazon.co.uk/MainCore-Speakon-Speaker-Loudspeaker-Available/dp/B0785KSF5G/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=Pa+speaker+cable&qid=1579807992&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExRVMwRlVVOFRSNjFaJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTk0MDMxMkRFVU1WS04zV1E5MSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTcyODg0MzFBSlBaUFdQNjdJOSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Well my P34 sounds like a funky P bass, the Fender sounds like a 'woody' P bass. I cant say if that's the pup or the different basses. As you know my P bass is very light and doesn't have as much body wood etc. I'd say the Fender got a bit more old school when i put the EMG in. Im happy with it, but given the choice again id leave the stock one in.

That reminds me, i brought a GB P for my Fender P bass last year. Its not a bad pup. I had the PJ set when they first came out but never really got on with the bass i put them in, and sold the bass with them still in it.

I used to like the small Planet Waves micro headstock tuner. Very discreet and gave me something got look at during Mustang sally (i used to try and make it spell out words) but i kept loosing them as they would fall off in the gig bag and either get crushed when the bass went back in, or just fall out of the bag. I went through 5 before giving up. IIR @Dood bolted his to the headstock by attaching it to the base of a tuning peg. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Planet-Waves-PW-CT-12-Micro-Headstock/dp/B005FKF1PY

Ok, try and unwind a bit. It's not good for your health.

What's has looks got to do with anything? Do ugly tuners work less well lol.

I doubt it as the pre amp is designed to be clean or dirty, so this would depend a lot on how the master is set.

Wonder if its a glitch. Both threads are identical.

Deja vu lol.

This is what GK suggest as well.

Looks and sounds great.

I felt the same going from a MAG300 to a ABM 300. The ABM seemed quieter. Probably a difference in EQ and voicing, but where as i could happily gig with the MAG, i was struggling with the ABM (in to the same cab). Never used the Deep or Sub features.
