  1. Are the pickups active of just the pre? I'd try the pickups passive...
  2. Look after ya Paws... O'Keeffs Working Hands not the cheapest, but only needs a dab... I suffer from thickening and splitting skin on my palm of my right hand - STOP sniggering at the back!
  3. Looks very 'Burns' to me... if it had a 2 piece guard Bridge 'Tray' and those pickups give it a look of intent, and a step away from niceties... defo looks like it means it! Pin striping and the tri-tree... nice touch.
  4. Explains why the tone changes thru the night... as ya vent a few... towards the drummer as they can't move away... better still the sax player, as they gotta breath in!
  5. I have purchased the same bass for my Youngest Son (15) as he wanted a fretless, unlined, 2 octave... and he loves it... Bubinga Body is a little weighty but lovely wood, neck n fretboard. Think his is a year earlier as the 'Vintage' logo goes along rather than across. I think Hardware and Pups are Wilkinson.. latter years had the logo on the pickups... My Son has a Q... what are the albums, as he wants to listen to more fretless... any links GLWS
  6. ^ I picked up an MB15 for £25... a year or so latter i came a cross an MB30 with Rocksolid cover for £35. So had that and the MB15 was passed on via my eldest. Sometimes these appear for daft money. Picked up a Laney GC 30 on Faceache as a freebie as intermittent faulty. Good clean of the pots and all is well. Again great sounding lound practice amp
  7. Vari's NFL... couldn't get on with em... going down the stairs!.. keyboatd swaying... and the funniest... trying to have a P!$$
  8. No mate... i feel ya pain... Something nice is bittered by things out of your control, made worse when these are everyday events that dont appear to affect others... My forehead vein starts a throbbin' (easy!) When the queue next to me starts moving faster! Whats coming? - something cheeky nice... long term um ah and thought plan or a spur of the moment I'll have one of them? Can't beat that box opening specialness... it will be with you soon. Box and that opening rush!
  9. Love the stand! Maybe a couple of lengths of split pipe lagging foam to protect the finish...
  10. Hi... would very much make use... Do you know if it will run any Synth Apps for a MIDI Keyboard? Son has a MUDI Keyboard and looking for 'Sounds' Piano, Hammond, Synth, Moog etc rather than doing the full PC DAW thing.
  11. Kent Armstrong, Tonrider... or for something maybe a little different.. Maida Vale... (on reverb) he winds stacked J so no noise, the windings can also be series or parallel as 4 wire. Uses Alnico IV slugs. @Rasleelisted a pair
  12. I felt my Squier P needed something... So some John Cooper Moon Eyes... later adopted by a Japanese Trials Rider, and Tuning House and later by Japanese 125 and 250 Riders...

    Jazz

    Just remove the tort plate... sorted!
  14. Lots of moan on the Mk1 Barts... But remember these are a Reverse P in a soapbar housing... bound to sound different and/or underwelming when swapped for another soapbar that is a full width twin coil std humbucker... Me?.. I'd Remove the pickups and pre for a rainy day.. or sell 'em and the magic bridge... Go for a nice pair of J pups and go passive... with Artec QTP? - All Organic and Natural, but a little wider reaching. Was a pair of J Toneriders in the FS, now Sold... A pair of Entwistle ceramics?... or contact Maida Vale Pickups (I've one of his P pups in my SR300) he does a Jazz Stack, twin coil, 4 wire so you can series or parallel the individual coils in each pickup... alnico IV for string balance... got fretless all over it! I love my Passive P SR300. It's like taking of the Active Plastic Wrapping. Love the SR Worn Pebble Body and Super Sleek necks... although my latest project is a Squier P.
  15. Real Nice... Thru neck or extended fingerboard... Model #? Extra Knob... Piezo Bridge?
  16. Don't sound right... where did you order from, and what are they meany to be? Got a link or any pics?..
  17. Didn't Frankenstien design the bolt-on neck?...
  18. Same here... I think thats why i don't 'get' tort... it just looks messy to me. The difference between 1,2 and 3,4 is almost like flip flop paint. My P is Black... simple.
  19. Mmmm... the strings felt overly thick... dunno what make they were, or what gauge. But found an unopened set of Olympia 45-100 Nickel Rounds... Sorted!
  20. £15 UK Posted?.. someone must be building a Cheapy P... @Paolo85 "I thought they sounded better than a modern Squier Affinity PJ..." @Jack "I think the pickup was fine..." Wise words indeed...
  21. ... the 4 Multi Contact jobbie - 2 for the tip, 2 for the sleeve? Just put onr in my Do-er Up-er Squier P... Great jack sockets...
  22. Welcome to my Nightmare - Alice (Ikea) Cooper...
  23. Not long enough... i've a few kicking about, most max out at 130... i needs a 140.
  24. How do you rate them? I've put the pup 'n loom up in the FS section.
