  1. [color=#191919][font=Lato, Arial, sans-serif][size=3] Greetings one and all, I'm toying with the idea of replacing the pickup in my Westone Thunder. My MIJ Fender 551 has the Hot Rod P-40 as stock and I adore the sound. Shedloads of punch one the amp's dialed in. I also believe it's overwound. Now, since I can find hide nor hair of an original online, would anyone have an idea or a modern reproduction? Many thanks AJ [/size][/font][/color]
  2. Polite bump. Offers always considered. Would prefer no trades but if anyone has a B3K going spare...
  3. Salutations ladies and gentlefolk, Up for sale is my trusty Sansamp BDDI V1. Now, yes I am aware there is a V2 on the market at around about £240 (average on retailer prices) but here's your chance to pick up what has to now be a classic pedal for half the price. Why am I selling such a pedal do you ask? Merely lack of use, I occasionally plug it in for a little variety but that by itself doesn't justify for it to be kept. I may have also just purchased a new bass so funding is needed. Now this sale is sans (see what I did there?) box and manual due to them being lost/misplaced/ fallen into the black void probably during my various house moves through uni. Bearing this in mind though, it will be securely packed with bubble wrap and packing tape. I'm based in Plymouth so if you wish to drop by and try, by all means do so otherwise I'll be happy to post. Photos will be uploaded once I try and figure out why they keep getting cancelled. Something about going over global media limit? Cheers AJ
  4. Wandered into a guitar shop enquiring for used 5 strings. They only had one, but by Christ was it one. Been meaning to try a Dingwall for ages to see what all the hype was about but where I reside there's no dealers within an acceptable travel distance. The fanned frets took extremely little time to get used to, the occasional peek at the board but otherwise I was good Was informed it was an early Afterburner model that used to belong to the owner's late husband, who went the whole hog with the upgraded preamp and wood selection. I've never wanted a bass more in my life, however as a poor student, £2250 is just outside my price range if I want to live. Hypothetically if that sort of cash comes my way, how comparable are the Combustion models? Obligatory photo attached..
  5. I'll take it please. Shall I PM the necessary info?
  6. Looking back on it, it's probably the strings. I've been neglecting it whilst I've been at uni having just the Fender and all.
  7. Generic P split coil. PB-40 originally if that helps.
  8. [color=#141414][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=3] [indent]Greetings, I've been considering of swapping out the pup in my Westone for a while after deciding it hasn't the punch or clarity of my Fender MIJ PB551. However I haven't the foggiest what Fender used in those basses at the time and that's the sound I'd like to preferably emulate. Therefore can anyone nail a current brand that may grant me what I seek? Cheers AJ [/indent][/size][/font][/color][color=#141414][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2] [/size][/font][/color]
  9. Purchased Javier' Milk Box compressor. Easy payment, quick postage. A pleasure to work with
  10. I just don't understand that the MIJ model had a tinted neck and fretboard but this MIM model just has a tinted headstock, Why?
  11. If memory serves the WH Olympic white is refinish 4
  12. Thanks for the advice, I'll try and find the thread.
  13. No offence taken. I could have made the first post clearer. Thanks for the advice, really appreciated. Of course I'll keep everyone updated if and when it happens.
  14. It was £100 with a trade in and I had to barter down to that. It wasn't anywhere near in the best of nick, advertised at £300. I've found a luthier relatively near me (Bristol area ish) charging £25 not including pickup for routing and wiring. Like I said before, I have no intention of selling this bass so the 'butchery' some may call it isn't too much of an issue about the resell value. About the respray, I don't think I'll bother if it's just the route that'll be bare wood.
  15. I'll bear that in mind thanks. Loom aside, the cavity would have to be routed and I have nowhere near the skill set to even make a decent attempt. Would it be easier to go to a guitar shop?
  16. Hey guys, Just spitballing here but I'm considering adding a J pickup to my MIJ P-bass. I've looked at different topics and the most common wiring suggested is V/V/T with double stacked knobs to avoid making another hole. For reference I'm basically making a Duff bass (coincidentally same colour body and neck (see attached)) so thusly I'm not too worried about carving it up as the bass itself only cost me £100 and have no intention of offloading it anytime soon. [attachment=201000:Duff.jpg] Does anyone have any idea of price if the pickup is £50 (SD Basssline) Cheers AJ
  17. £300-400 budget... All my bass gear is used anyway so no qualms whatsoever. Relatively fit but preferably no all tube heads. I could squeeze a 2x12 in my boot a 1x15 too but no 4x10's
  18. Soundwise,as versatile as possible with a slight edge toward classic 80's rock/metal. I'll give the Rumble series a look.
  19. Hey guys, I thought I'd find much better answers asking on here than trawling through loads of spec sheets and YT vids.. Basically I'm looking at finally getting a head and cab rig. My trusty Laney though a loyal servant for practice, now nowhere near pumps out the wattage needed for gigging. After some listening, demos etc I really like the sound of Harkte gear but of course willing for other suggestions. As I am a student (poor so sadly no Markbass) I would like something lightweight and compact as space is limited in my digs and the boot of my car, Thoughts would be very much appreciated AJ
  20. Hi guys, I'm looking at getting a Boss OC2 clone and due to my limited budget these seem like the best idea. Looking at both of these pedals on the Behringer website I see no difference between them apart from the number. Am I missing something? Cheers AJ
  21. Ended up being £100 with part-ex, not just needs a set up http://basschat.co.uk/topic/261072-nbd-japanese-p/
  22. Indeed, indeed it is hah hah.
