Got my Classic Vibe Jazz - what a nice bit of kit - love the neck - love the look - Happy man

At the moment I am still down on volume and up in humming and buzzing although the tone is nice and even. [/quote] Andy was great, asked me to return them for a free check out, although he could find no fault he sent out a new set. Now it could well be down to my poor fitting but this set are silent. All is good, looking forwards to next rehersal so I can give them a good blast. Thanks Andy. I recommend Wizard too.

So must wait for next practice to match it against my 414 for volume, fingers crosed

Have got my new pups and fitted them today. The tone is great and is nice and even across all for strings, however I do seem to be down on volume from what I had before, not sue if this could be down to my poor soldering or just how they should be ? what do you think

Just like to mention my little rig- LH500 into 8 Ohm Marshal 4X10 650 watt - Loud and clear

I have been lusting after a USA Jazz bass for some time but due to price I could not justify the outlay, But now I see the light , I will be taking my £250 to the Squier Classic Vibe Jazz man. Hope it lives up to expectation. Have had a Squier P for years that has a nice neck and I am about to upgrade with Wizard Thump pups.

Looks like I will be getting Thumped ! Thanks for the advice, will let you guys know how I get on. Cheers Order placed today!!

[quote name='Dr.Dave' post='363628' date='Dec 26 2008, 12:51 PM']I've not had experience of the Thumper but they're raved about in these parts - the Jazz 84's I had from Wizard were fab. I do have SDQPs in my Precisions and it's they're dogs for me Other aftermarket pickups are available [/quote] Anyone got Wizard Thumpers in a P bass, what are they like?

Hi all, and Merry Christmas, I have a Squire P bass that I love the feel of but have found the pickups to be a bit lacking, I would quite like to use this bass to gig with and wonder if a new set of Seymour Duncan SPB-1 would make it a better bass or will I notice little difference to the standard pickups. I use a Yamaha 414 most of the time witch has hot pickups and makes the Squire seem quiet. What do you think, is it worth spending £50

[quote name='Merton' post='333678' date='Nov 21 2008, 10:28 AM']No. The LH500 is rated for a minimum impedance of 4 ohms. You're using that already - if you add another cab you risked blowing the power stage...[/quote] I stand corrected the 2 speaker outputs are marked at 8 Ohms each - my eyes need testing

I use the LH500 with a Marshall 410 which is rated at 4 Ohms. I now wish to ask a stupid question, the head has two 4 Ohms speaker outputs, does this mean I can add a further Speaker (say a Marshall 15) rated ay 4 Ohms directly into the head without any problems. As it stands my rig is LOUD anyway, but I would just like to know. By the way love the LH500 head - simple

[quote name='WithoutRisk_BassPlayer' post='272048' date='Aug 28 2008, 09:15 PM']the Mag 600 has two 1/4" jack connections, I have the same head and the same problem when I was looking at getting one. Will[/quote] Is your 600 the Evo II with compressor? I cannot find many reviews on this head, as you have one could you give me your pros and cons, would be good to get some feedback from a user of a 600 as most people appear to go with the MAG 300
