    £1700 Selling my 1979 P-bass. This is a "frankenbass", maybe not a collector's piece but it sounds wonderful: the intonation is perfect, it resonantes well, light, in general - oppsite to "anchor" basses than happened in 70s Body 1970-1971 precision bass, refinished in USA by MJT - nitro aged fiesta red Neck 1979 with strippped-to-the-wood back of the neck - feels great! Pickup rewound by Hathor Pickups, sound wonderful, super punchy, warm and detailed Pots are new CTS from what I remember. This was setup by my luthier. Super low action without fret buzz, tons of sustain. Deafinitely a players bass. It has played a dozen of shows and I recorded one album with this one (Sony Music). Just selling because I bought pre-cbs P-bass. (Tweed case is not included. Strong rectangle flight case will be included (120 EUR in Thomann--, shipping by courier expedited, insured) It's a really sweet bass. I may trade also for vintage Mustang Bass, a Rickenbacker, Gibson EB2, Mosrite Ventures Bass. *** SHIPPING INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

    [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1452366313' post='2949346'] Have you tried just lowering the pickup for all strings then just slight raising the g Or vice versa You won't have a nice string curve (radius) but it will balance the sound more. You will adapt to the compromise in setup but you will never adapt to a loud unbalanced string. [/quote] Yep, but I set is as low as I could. Since this is "stacked" contruction, it's deeper than standard s-c for 51 pbass. I have around 10-12mm from strings now but it don't go lower than that. By the way. What pickups do you recommend for 51 pbass? What is difference between split coil and normal beside the hum-cancelling feautre? I play lot with fuzz so noise is someting I count… Does anyone on the market produces "stacked" 51 pickup?

    @Lw, yeah of course, here you go http://listen.tidal.com/album/47225318, it was recorded with 77 P-Bass, soft pick only

    [quote name='police squad' timestamp='1452262870' post='2948216'] I have the same problem with one of mine. It also has the stacked pickup (same as Stings bass). Seymour Duncan said I could push the pole pieces in a little on the A & D strings to even up the sound. I haven't done it yet. I raised the action on the E string a little , which helped. I don't really use the G that often and I just live with it. I might just change the pickup [/quote] Yeah. I thought the same. Will balance the pickup so E, A, D will sound equal and leave G because I hardy every touch this.. But there's a song when I hit octaves and it just so loud that OMG... I never thought that Sting bass had stacked CS SD pickup? I've read that its split coil, but never "stacked" (which is only produced by SD). I'm just back from rehearsal, and man, I love that bass. Never ending punch and sustain, but that unbalanced G string... damn. Maybe I should push A / D pole pieces and even if it breaks I just replace to another one with raised poles. huh.

    Guys, I checked everything from strings, nut, to bridge etc. @ikay - I will check that height tonight, but I spend one day raising, lowering and balancing with no "balanced" results. The bass sound great unplugged so this is not string/bridge/nut issue. Also Height of each string is setup right to the fretboard curve. @Happy Jack - I bought it second hand but it "like new" shape, I saw that ad on this bass here too somewhere. I will record something to DI without any effects to show you that problem. I mailed Fender CS (they wanted me to ship bass to the US… no way) and mailed also Seymour Duncan about raising pole pieces and they said its impossible with this construction and I can destroy windings if I try to push A and D magnets up. This is my bass (identical) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIVa40Du1z4

    I have a problem with my '51 CS P. It has factory installed "51 stacked pbass pickup" made in seymour duncan's custom shop ([url="http://customshop.seymourduncan.com/51-p-bass-stack/"]http://customshop.se...1-p-bass-stack/[/url]). The neck as usual, is not flat top, it's carved like most p-basses. Pickup is made without raised A and D pole pieces which leads to completely unbalanced sound. I tried changing strings, I've tried chaning pickup positioning: up/down and balancing it. Stuck with situation where E, A, D are near equal in power, but G is almost twice as loud that the others. Just don't know what to do. This is my first '51 type bass, so maybe some of you can tell me if they just tend to be unbalanced and its their nature? How i can deal with it? It's unusable, even playing with compressor.

    Ampeg SVT-VR

    boroman replied to shug's topic in Amps & Cabs

    I played VR couple times on festivals - they run out of power quicker than vintage SVTs. More distorted, but still very good amp.

    [color=#ff0000][b]SOLD!!![/b][/color] [size=3][font=Arial][color=#000000]I have for sale Ampeg SVT head from 1976 (transformer codes dates 35th week of 1976). 300W all-tube construction, the "holy grail" of bass amps. Two channels (linkable), Can work with 2ohm or 4 ohm cabs (or two 4ohm cabs at one time). [/color][/font] [font=Arial][color=#000000]I[/color][/font][color=#000000][font=Arial]t just came back from my tech - cleaned inside + all electronic parts, pots, resistors, capacitors, switches checked (and replaced if needed). Original fan was replaced too - old one is working but it was very noisy - I will include it if you want. New one isn't super quiet but specs like original (Whisper/Sunon). Tubes are mixed NOS (GE, RCA, etc) and current production - they have been also checked, matched and biased. It works on european voltage 220-240V and has new heavy-duty EU power plug.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]The amp is ready to rock another years. Sounds phenomenal. I had four vintage SVTs over the years, the 1973, 1975, 1976 (this) and 1981. Every amp sounded a little different. For example my 73 was super linear almost hi-fi, the MTI era (1981) was little more dirty (a "punk rock" amp_, and this one, the 1976 is something between with "vintage" bump in the mids.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]This is not "sold as is" - this is WORKING amp ready for gigging or the studio work. I recently recorded album with this one an it was released by Sony Music this fall. [/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]Payment by PayPal or bank transfer (fees at your side).[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]FREE COURIER SHIPPING TO EUROPEAN UNION (3-4 DAYS DELIVERY)[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]FLIGHT CASE INCLUDED [/font][font=Arial]not that one on the photos but similar[/font][/font][/color] [font=Arial][color=#000000]** I'm looking also for trade, especially 60s Gibson EB2, vintage precision/telecaster basses (not in natural color), custom shop precision/jazz/telecaster basses, maybe Matamp GT200, Orange/Matam OR200, vintage Ampeg B15, NASH precision basses... please drop me PM, maybe we can trade.[/color][/font][/size]
