Thanks. Sounds great. Will get saving.....

How do you find the BB2 and SM together? I have a BB2 but would really like a minimal rig of a SM and small head for practices etc. Then maybe combined for fun at bigger events. Ie 3 different sized rigs.

Looks great!

What about a squire vm body to start...?

That sounds like the spec i want!

OK. Why do I need a pj?! Answer is that I don't. So what I need is P body. Quite fancy active though so how am I gonna fit the electrics in? Allparts and Warmoth are both a fortune! So need a bargain body.....

Love them. Except mine will be white!

Wow that's great. I need to look at the other forum. I tend to just browse the bass one at the moment.

Aha. Yes. I can do that. But I don't think that's as much fun. I fancy a frankenstein bass.....

I know that..... So maybe start with something.... And improve over time!

Following a conversation with Beedster in the for sale forum here are my thoughts..... Any suggestions? I am just about to change career (again) so am going to go from OK to poor! So this needs to be on a budget of less than £500 which is impossible! I am one of those people who don't like brands! So here we go: I already have a passive jazz. So gasing for something that sounds different but doesn't have a massive neck. Spec would be: No labels. Anonymous. Jazz style neck. Pj config (or I suppose like a Stingray one humbucker) Excellent pickups. Active. Maybe John East. Badass or other good bridge Olympic white Mint green pick guard Lightish weight So obviously I could buy a Sire P7. But that's no fun...... What can I do?

But it didn't look like the same black..... Looked all dark black! Anyway I bow to your superior knowledge. How do you find yours? I have a passive jazz and am thinking about something to compliment it.

Having been turned into a bb nerd by this thread I noticed Peter Hook with a new looking all black BB in the BBC bass programme. Looked like a 734a but all dark black. Not a BBP as 5 knobs. Hook signature model?! Guitar, Drum and Bass, Series 1: 2. On Bass... Tina Weymouth!: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00023xl via @bbciplayer

Great thread. Lots of conversation about the onstage monitor angle. Not so much discussion about what preamp/di setup people are using? I am thinking minimal.....! I have Behringer BDI21 which is I suppose as minimal as there is....! Anyone just using HX Stomp?

More pics. Review. Thoughts etc would be good.......

Yes come on. Advertise it.....

What are you using as a preamp? I have a bass rig. However I have a couple of QSC K10s from a previous life. (not the point 2). I am thinking that instead of a backup bass amp for gigging I can stick one in the car. Just need to figure the pre. Considering saving up for an HX Stomp.

You have passed the first test. I am on a few forums where students post questionnaires, people fill them in and the student never returns to thank them or discuss. So rule one is keep coming back.......

Actually didn't go too well. There was some kid in the bass area showing off ostentatiously even though he wasn't brilliant. Sat right in the way. So had a browse and left!

I'm gonna go down there now for a look!

I'm in NYC now. Went to the location of "Do The Right Thing" this morning. Amazing even if it is just a street in Brooklyn. Then off to look for all the places my ancestors lived. So lots of personal interest. Tbh it's really just a grimier version of London. Though I did have an amazing Pastrami sandwich earlier from Zabars. Maybe you don't like big cities?

My fault. But the recommendation for the jazz night was on this thread and still worked out perfectly.
