Having read Peter's review of the booster i decided a few weeks ago to take the plunge and put one in my mid 80's mij fender P, to cut a long story short i ran out of wire when installing it and had to strip all the controls from the bass as i had some recording to do, fast forward a few weeks via my LGS and i have got my Pbass back today with a wizard thumper pup, stacked vol/tone and villex booster installed and i must say i have struggled to put the bass down since i got back from picking it up, i went with a stacked 500k pot and the extended treble has brought the bass to life in a way and i have found all 3 boost positions very pleasing to the ear and like Peter i'm loving position 3 on the booster with the tone fully open. It is a great piece of kit and for the money i'm well impressed with the versatility my bass now has to offer. Nice one Villex

[quote name='thedontcarebear' post='86490' date='Nov 10 2007, 03:02 PM']How annoying, not long ago I had a MIJ P bass from the 80s with maple fretboard that I wanted to offload, and I want a LMII, ended up just selling the bass.[/quote]
And I'm glad you did decide to sell the bass
have a free bump on me -
looks pretty cool man, congrats

That looks almost as good as my Pbass Steve black/black/maple is my second fav combo

Cheers guys, she's currently at my LGS getting a new wizard thumper pickup fitted along with a villex booster i bought, i pick her up tomorow so i'll post update pics then

Flame me now but there is a behringer copy of the FZ-2, blatant rip of IIRC, maybe a cheap option and if its any good rehouse it?
-
I've had a go on the smaller practice combo and thought it was good enough for the cash (I likes the marshal sound), although not seen the bigger ones yet but for £279 doesnt seem bad for a 300w expandable combo.

[quote name='ahpook' post='77868' date='Oct 22 2007, 08:52 PM']there is a mod to raise the output of the sansamp..[/quote]
Ahhhhh Any links on how to do it or who does? -
[quote name='G-bitch' post='77837' date='Oct 22 2007, 07:16 PM']Yes, works just fine - although you'll either need the newer version with the higher (line level) output, a sensitive power amp input or something to boost the level if it's the older version.[/quote]
cheers for that, if its an older one i get would something like a MXR micro amp or such other booster in the chain after the BDDI be sufficent? -
Dunno if this is in the right place but here goes, well i've had a go of a sansamp bddi and i like the tone i get from it, and was wondering if anyone had used it with a poweramp and used it to either reherse or practice with? It seems like a good back saving/space saving idea to me or am i talking rubbish? Help

Well after recently having a long hard think about my basses and in search of my sound I sold off my two basses and picked this up from thedontcarebear. Its a 86/87 MIJ fender precision bass, I added the black scratchplate as I'm a sucker for sunburst/black combos and its now strung with D'Addario half rounds (55-110). Bass wise I'm 100% gass free for the moment, although a matching jazz would be rather tempting

[quote name='The_D' post='72456' date='Oct 10 2007, 10:38 PM']This thread is not helping my GAS at all. I need a new cab and cant afford that. Now I am itching to drop a pair of these in my Jazz!
Between Basschat and talkbass I am sure I am gonna end up bust by the end of the year![/quote]
Tell me bout it Bob, I've not even got my Pbass yet but i'm gonna get a thumper for it when i get paid -
I had a go of the tour 450 in soundcontrol in edinburgh a month or so ago and it sounded pretty good to me through the peavey 1x15 it was hooked upto. didn't have much time to have a propper play about with the octave thingy but for less than £300 with pleny of features it gets a thumbs up from me.

I saw a Wal in the kirkcaldy one fro £600 a few years back -

I think you lot should give that a bash 2moro night Bob can just picture it the now -
Hmmm for me it would have to be either mortal wound, or fallen children from my bands stuff but we'll have a few more songs up on myspace in a few weeks time.
