    I won't ask where you plug the bass in!!
  2. Steve Browning
    I see you also practice setting your guitar alight.

    This mess is half of my home set up. PC comes in via usb, bass into the mixer (as you see) and phono output to old Yamaha hi-fi amp. The speakers are a pair of Acoustic Electric (now defunct speaker manufacturer) Studio 10 monitors. Not pretty but perfect for home use.

    I have also replaced stock pickups with Vintage P's and they have been excellent. Very close to the sound (I daren't say tone) of my genuine vintage pickups.

    I would be decidedly miffed now and incandescent on 7th July if there's no satisfactory conclusion. I would be inmstigating the charge back at that point, bearing in mind the time USPS give themselves.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164920764531?hash=item26660b2873:g:aI4AAOSwso5gzeNt Oddly, this is in my 'manor' but I don't know the owner. Slightly strangely light on detail.

    Worth pointing out that Mesa cabs won't see these shores this year. I have ordered a 2x12 and I am told it won't turn up until next year so buy this one if you have any hankering for a Subway 1x15.

    I used to encounter Terry Shulman regularly at a jazz jam I played at, in the mid 70s. He was a brilliant trumpeter and a street cleaner by trade. A lovely guy. I confess to seeing National Health and saw them support Steve Hillage at Lancaster University. I'm afraid I was praying for their set to end from very early on (apologies to a certain BC member who was present at the time).

    I had one of those back in the 80's. Excellent bass (as is my A/E fretless!!!).

    A Pompey band that started life as Simon Dupree and the Big Sound.

    Having toured a few times with It's A Beautiful Day, never mention Deep Purple/Child In Time and the song that came before Bombay Calling.
  15. Steve Browning

    Is not the US one, essentially, a Precision Lyte with a different name? Interesting bit of information though.

    I've looked at the usual suspects that have been mentioned. I've always been a big fan of Kent Armstrong pickups. I guess the only thing is the lack of visible pole pieces (how shallow is that?). I am suspending thoughts of changing the pickup at the moment as I think the pre-amp change has done the job I wanted done on the sound. My guess is any pickup change would still lead to a pre-amp change whereas you may find a pre-amp swap may not lead to the need for another pickup.

    I have for now. In truth, it is more likely to be pure snobbery that would make me change it. I had a pre-EB Stingray many moons ago and the combination of the stock pick-up and Retrovibe pre-amp get me a sound that is pretty much the same as my recollection of the sound of the original. I was careful to get a pre-amp that set out to emulate the original 2 eq pre-amp and the Retrovibe nails it.
  21. Steve Browning
    I have a 4 string SUB and it was transformed by a Retrovibe Stinger pre-amp. I would strongly suggest you think about that as your first upgrade. I may even stick with the stock pickup as a result.
  22. Steve Browning
    I have both a rack tuner and a tuner on the pedalboard (although it only house a switcher for different basses). It is useful to have the pedal tuner there, I find.
  23. Steve Browning
    Bought a Zoom pedal from Terry. It couldn't have got to me any quicker, was well packaged and exactly as described. An excellent transaction and recommended. Steve

    I sometimes dep with a great soul band. They cover Everlasting Love and the bass player (@rumblefish) took it upon himself to suggest the bass plays the little figure over the triangle about halfway through the song. I have tried to re0plicate the song with a pick (my only use of one) but just cannot get that bit right (it's played using 3rds), It's such a great song I hate balls'ing it up every time.
  25. Steve Browning
    I much preferred my 400 to my 400+. I liked the tone more and re-valving it was cheaper.
