    I have a pre-EB Musicman which has developed a horrible shorting like noise when I plug it in with certain jack-leads. I recall from another thread recently a basschatter talking about very slightly diffent sized jack plugs. Looking at what seems to make a difference with mine, using old leads where the jack-head has been screwed tightly into the plastic retainer causes the jack to sit very slightly further out (and does not short). Having taken the control unit off the Musicman, the whole jack socket assembly is an old sealed unit that I really don't want to muck about with. Has anyone else experienced his and/or what advice would you have? Ta

    With the proviso about the red flags, that looks a pretty good deal. It's got a through body neck (unlike an Epic) and a book matched headstock and body. Like Jazzyvee I would say it looks in good nick. It might weigh a bit though and look out for neck dive (wide strap solves that one)

    Is that a soft drink?

    And a beautiful 5 string Wal to boot. Do you chain it to the music stand?

    They probably didn't want to mention the domed front, sides (albeit they mentioned the broken neck, nack....d pick ups, replaced tone controls (before it went in the loft), refinished body, hybrid machineheads)....what's not to like! And all worth how much?

    What a fantastic amp. DO you know how much it weighs (approx)?
  7. Piers_Williamson
    That went straight over my head. Having laboured to the end of the slightly nerdy history of the bass I thought they said it's uniqueness was the domed back.

    looks like it had been strung right handed

    If there's a really k......red bass set up at the rehearsal studios, I just take my Noble and a Limiter on a Board down, and it will make most sound pretty good. Added to your Mesa and it sounds brilliant.........just saying! (and you don't need a Noble. My Sans Amp has an Ampeg setting).

    The description written by Pete exactly matches the bass, so it most likely is W2727. That might make it a couple of days older It is a beautiful bass, deserving of a good home. GLWTS.

    What a stunning bass. Do you know why the back-plate serial number, and the written number inside the electronics cavity are very slightly different?
  13. Piers_Williamson
    An alternative would be to keep the lot and put a valve preamp on the front. I use a Noble with with my d800+ and muck about with the Voicing setting. Top rig by the way!

    A great bass! How much does it weigh?
  15. Piers_Williamson
    Great sounding bass. GLWTS

    In the cold weather I am discovering that one of our cats likes sitting on top of my amp (particularly when it's on). I suspect your MM makes for a toasty Cat backside!
  17. Piers_Williamson
    Is the cat included?

    It makes me think how much stupid money I paid for a Custom Shop version, which looks pretty much the same bass. GLWTS this is s bargain!

    Have a bump on me. This is a gorgeous bass that needs a home!

    How old is your Musicman? It looks fantastic!

    Last night's set up at our Cuban Gig at the Polish Centre in Hammersmith. This has to be one of the best set up Jazz Venues in West London. And the Polish know how to Salsa til late into the night! Plugged my Noble DI direct into the House PA and into the house amp plus monitors. My head was about 18 inches from the Timbale player's ride cymbal

    What a beautiful bass...and I didn't think I liked this sort of thing!

    Bubinga, when you have been contributing the fantastic ideas and input you have for so long to this site, we should contribute something to you right now, even if it's just creative thought and positive ideas. Stick with it....we will be with you all the way

    This site reassures me that there is a positive in 'modern media'....it is a proper community. If you fancy learning lefty bass I'll loan you one of mine. You can look like a right handed Mono Neon
