There was talk that the Bart pickups were fine and dandy but the preamp was a weak link.

Same.

Yes a P-94 I guess. Catswhiskers is calling it a Fat Moggy. http://www.catswhiskerpickups.co.uk/p90.html I am minded to go that way. But am open to suggestion.

I have a Chinese Fender Maurader. It has a P90 in the neck which I like. It has a triplebucker in the bridge which I do not like. I am not a guitarist so am clueless. I know I like two J pickups full on. Should I transfer this to this guitar and go for another P90 (in a humbucker case) so having 2 x P90s or should I get a nicer humbucker? Whatever it will be will come from Catswhiskers pickups. Bear in mind that I have a bass with 2 J pickups and one P pickup in it with an East Uni Pre with extra switching to use all coils individually and I only ever use both J full on so the whole subtelty of different tones is not one I chase. TIA

I guess you could. I did not try that!

I have had it since the DB bass bash (waiting for strings and a preamp build) and it has just gone back to Toby. Actual build time has been eyewateringly fast as far as my experience of custom builds goes. It is essentially a prototype so there is a lot of backwards and forwards chat going on.

I just get my roadie to hand me the correct instrument and let him deal with that tedious backline malarky.

Nope CAR with matching headstock.

I have dealt with Jim with regards to my 15+ year old Berg cab which I bought 2nd hand. He was the very model of customer service. I have no desire to enter into a debate here, and we all have off days (or so my wife tells me).

Regrets..... I have a few...... I flogged my Sei J5. I often wonder where it went. Ho hum.

No, he was looking for an England flag. That is not a UK flag

I will take this to pm otherwise I will be a contender for the wildest thread derail ever.

Did you work with a company over Treaddur Bay way? I saw the most sublime tall boy chest of drawers they made years ago and I regret not buying it even now.

I'm in Bangor.

A comprehensive reply. Thanks

Closest build to me EVER!

Hi! It is no further than it was in the Bass Bash at the moment. The 5 string set I bought (cos I need a B) turned out to be a 4 strings set and it has taken till now to get the proper set so it is all on hold at the moment

Could you expand on passive v active DI use? Is it a buffering thing? Thanks.

I used to own a U5. What it did offer for me was real immediacy and bucketloads of headroom. I really liked it for that. I am not suggesting you are wrong and I am right. It is all subjective and situation specific.
