    I think the problem is the made in england instead of made in usa label on the back of the neck, having owned many les p's & a prs custom over the years guitar players ignore these at your loss. How about for one week ony, buy this & I will throw in a free 100 watt roland cube combo in white tolex (had this in a deal with skezza a little while ago, think it is an 80's model), great guitar amp & gigworthy, anyone tempted ??? mike b.

    Sunk like a stone bump, remember these are gibson/prs quality at half the price, still looking for the elusive 34" scale 17mm bridge spacing fretless or fretted 5 string,happy to add cash to a trade for the right bass, mike b.

    Thank for the replies, had comments from people at the back of a room telling me how clear/well defined the sound of my bass comes accross, wouldn't describe the emg's as aggressive sounding although I did turn down the preamp gain a touch when I first got hold of the bass, Certainly I am happy with the pickup/preamp combination that I have but I suppose its only human nature to wonder how the origional setup sounded, perhaps one day a pair of bart 5 string jazzers will apear for sale & I may be tempted to give 'em a go. mike b.

    Hello,my old sei headless still has it's origional bartolini pre amp, but at some point the orig bart "jazz" style pickups have been swapped for emg's, often wondered what the bass sounded like with the origional preamp & pickup combination, anyone out there swapped barts & emg's like to make any comments, thanks, mike b. (emg's are unpowered/passive type )

    My headless 5 sidelined every other bass incl my overwater, can't imagine playing anything else now, bought s/h from the gallery last year & never regretted it for a moment [attachment=98566:misc 006.jpg] deserves better than this iphone pic (ser no 11 for those interested) mike b.

    I would agree with shaker's comments, the only thing I would add is to look at how close the pickup pole pieces are to the strings,my preference is beteween 3-5 mm when strings fretted at the end of the neck, if the gap is too wide this will give you weak sound,also speaker choice will have some effect on your amplified sound, mike b.

    If you can afford around the £120 mark try good old beyer dt100 or dt150's , the 100 are good all purpose h'phones , ideal if you want them for hifi use as well, the 150 has a little more bass response ,great if you practice bass thro phones .Used to have some 100/s, but settled on a pair of 150's when I needed new phones earlier this year, more than happy with them also comfy for long term use, try as many different sorts as you can tho ,if they don't feel comfy on your head you probably won't be happy in the long run, best of luck, mike b.

    Damn,never mind I'm in no hurry tho' so would be happy to put this on hold for a while to see how you get on with the roland, a backup 5er is what I would realy like .Used to have a 750 roadster some years ago, but the wet sumping drove me mad (until I fitted an oil tap combined with an ign switch on it) also the high fuel cons & small fuel tank was a pain, went like a scalded cat tho, great fun to ride, keep in touch, mike b.

    Decided to pass on the fortress, cracking bass for someone else tho', mike.

    Might be tempted, always had a soft spot for warwicks especialy if it has a neck similar to my old '93 thumb, tell me more or show me your wares, mike.

    New project sorted, Ducati also sold, bee bumpalula for trades 4/5 headless or any fretted fives, whatchya got ??
  24. wrinkleygit
    This has been sidelined ever since I bought a headless sei 5 stringer earlier this year, its too good to give away & I might go back to it one day, anyone can try me with a headless 4/5 or another fretted 5 string ( 34" scale only 16/17mm spacing only) in a trade, I can only say no, mike b.

    Whatever you do, don't spray WD40 into pots to stop them crackling, always use proper electrical/switch cleaner,
