No

Top trolling. Check that smirk.

As Rich says, with powerful pups like this if the pole pieces are too close to the strings you can get strange 'wolf tones'.  I've got to do an adjustment on my MM Sterling 4H for the same reason.

Definitely sounds like poles too close/wolf-tones

That wide strip isn't even period-correct. The little skinny ones Fender Japan used are.

Jesus....

Wow, that's quite a difference. 

I know that feeling of loss. I stupidly sold my coveted XL2A way back in the mid '90s and ten years later bought her back again. Sadly, last year due to no freelance work, I had to let her go. I miss that bass.

Look at the reunited with my 71 P bass thread!

I was just surprised at how the red had vanished on the front.

For sale in Dublin (I'm not affiliated).

Never seen a 'burst like that before.

For live versions of Stay, this is the one that does it for me. The end section is really cooking on gas.
 

 

I have never heard this version! I know Earl Slick was on the album but that guitar sounds awfully like Adrian Belew to me.

TV is quoted as saying that Bowie just left Ronno,Woody, and himself to create the album. TV's playing blew me away. I always suspected I could hear an EB3 with flats in there and in a conversation several years ago TV confirmed this, along with his modded P-bass.

Not sure if the fungi affected the state of mind when posting!

RIP, Alan. Always remember him with a Mustang but am sure he used a Travis Bean at one point.

Probably should go in technical and repairs, or jokes, but I’ll leave it here.

 

Where did you find this?

Worked for a company that had their Feedback Destroyer. That unit was ok as long as you knew how to use it. Seemed sturdy enough. They also had Behringer DIs which were ok. 

However....back around that same time I bought their V-Amp Pro. Used it for a week at rehearsals and then on the first gig it started cutting out, only solvable by turning it on and then off again. Ended up just using FOH. That was me done with them.

By the way, when Eddie died there was a load of VH live stuff from early shows (just before the first album being released) that was put out on YT, etc. Well worth seeking out - brilliant, better than any of the tours when they had hit the bigtime. 

 

I was lucky enough to see them supporting Sabbath on the first tour. No show, front of the stage, minimal lights - still one of the best few live performances I have ever seen and far superior to when I saw them later.  

I heard back then that they blew Sabbaff off the stage.

That's some volute!

I saw that. The 'board radius!!

Ahhh...it's a leftie! Sorry.

I'd seriously be up for this if I could sell my Jap '52 Tele with Bigsby. Always wanted an NXT.

Ahhh....I've just discovered it's a guitar pickup!!

Nope, it's not. Not on this model. Baffled. 

I'm currently doing some work on one of these. It's the Vista series. I decided to fit a standard P-bass circuit but I have noticed that there is a considerable loss of volume when the tone is off. Also, there's also still some top end there when tone rolled right off.

The original circuit was butchered so unsure what the factory version is. Am I needing a resistor/cap somewhere? My soldering is ok, as are the two caps I used.

I've deleted  Ebay's direct debit and my bank details via online banking.  Since i've decided to no longer sell on there, they no longer need access to my bank.

I'm a buyer only from now on

Same here.

I knew they were moving to this model but was surprised to receive an additional email last week that stated my account was now 'suspended'  until I signed up for their new model. No thanks.

Reverb, Gumtree, DoneDeal, Adverts.ie will do for me. Or FB Marketplace, locally.

I have one. Play it in DADDADG. Where they went wrong is the raised fretless 'board. Other than that, I love it
