[quote name='BB3000S' timestamp='1329260464' post='1539887'] Oooh, I would love to get these into my jazzes and BB's! Could you please PM me payment directions including shipment to Sweden for 5 caps please? (have paypal, would prefer that as gift transfer over involving the banks due to their charges - even though that would also be ok). [/quote] PM'd you BB3000S. Thanks Nick -

Don't know much about him, but I will & should do ..... I love Alphonso Johnson's playing here with Bobby & the Midnites. Quite inspiring for me. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbF5RXj0vgM[/media]

I use my Boss CE-2 clone with mix control, depth, vibrato & bass mods. Its nice & warm, not cold, or sterile and is very bass friendly. Lot of tonal variety too. [IMG]http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j476/nickonbass69/Pedal%20Builds/CE2a015.jpg[/IMG] It's the same pedal circuit as [b]CMAT Mods 'Waterbox'[/b], so I'd definitely recommend trying one of those if you can find one.

[quote name='apa' timestamp='1328740220' post='1532097'] If you want some realy in your face Mick Karn lines check out Dalis Car stuff. A [/quote] +1 On the flipside, to hear some quite structured Karn work, but still with his tone & style, listen to the Joan Armatrading stuff he played on.

Hi all, just acquired this lovely 1980 Marathon. Been looking (on & off) for a sensibly priced, decent Marathon for a long time.... so when this came up on BC, I had to have it. Got a few dinks & the usual crazy lacquer cracking, which I personally love, but its in pretty good nick for its age. Needed a couple of turns on the truss rod (previous owner had not touched it from buying bass new), and after lowering the the action a bit & restringing with a fresh set of DRs, it really plays like a dream. The jacksockets are a bit dicky, going to to rewire & replace with a mono switchcraft, and probably going to rewire the pickup in series (currently wired parallel) along with upgrading the slightly crackly 100k(?) pots to CTS ones.

I do like the Jumbo Tonebender & Wooly Mammoth, very different to each other.... but my favourite at the moment is a Maestro Brassmaster clone I built. However next planned build is a 'Violet Rams Head' Big Muff clone with mid control, so that could be the one for me....

I put an MM neck, a cream pearloid scratchplate & an EMG on my sonic blue Ryder body, strung with black nylons.... gig it regularly. It's a good bitsa & made a fairly decent P-Bass.

Off the top of my head....Ian Astbury, Will Sargeant, Hooky, Nick Mason, Shaun & Paul Ryder.

EMG announce 9v and 18v external power supplies for their circuits
nick replied to Kiwi's topic in Accessories and Misc
A small discreet voltage doubler (9v to 18v), negating the need to have two batteries, and could also be retro-fitted to existing intalled EMGs, would have been more useful. -
Been considering a Promethean for a while. The new Promethean model makes the Beta Alvin manufactured Harley Benton BA500H seem more appealing to me now.

Hi Iain, Welcome & hope you enjoy the forum! Cheers Nick

FOR SALE: Tokai Hard Puncher 1984 Made In Japan SOLD
nick replied to bartczak.rafal's topic in Basses For Sale
That is gorgeous - have a bump. I have a black '83, exactly the same, but with a R/W fingerboard. It's the one bass I would save if my house was on fire. If this is as good as mine, whoever buys this, will cherish it, if they appreciate a mighty fine P-Bass. -

[quote name='leroybasslines' timestamp='1325189539' post='1480808'] They look excellent value for money! Trouble is, when a company like this only has an eBay store and doesn't say much about their product I get suspicious! How come they're so cheap? Where are they made? Can they do custom requests, etc? I'd be delighted if someone has dealt with Seco Guitars before and could recommend them...especially for fifty quid! [/quote] Hi Liam, hope you're well mate. Have you considered Mighty Mite? I've got one on a Sue Ryder bitsa P-Bass, its a decent neck for the money. Give us a shout if you want to check it out. Cheers Nick

[i]Another recommendation for Status flats. I've converted to them from La Bellas, find them a bit more focused in the mids & they're about half the price.[/i] [i]Webstrings are good also, old school thumpy tone.[/i]

Initially bought it, just to sell on, but I loved the U-profile neck so much, I decided to keep it. Had the pickups rewound by Wizard, rewired it & changed the bridge. Frequently take it out & no issues gigging it, when I fancy a change from P-Bass. It's certainly more than paid for itself!
