I imagine the truth is that he started trying to have a say in things, been the downfall of many a non-original member, no matter how talented or long-standing

I’ve seen worse, I could do that but I would do an average job and probably never play it, it needs better than me 👍 -

Which makes a lot of sense 👍

Wire connectors for pickups - is there a standard?
Beedster replied to floFC's topic in Repairs and Technical
EMG use something similar, allowing PUPS to plug into circuits. In relation to soldering etc I have no problem with the circuit/loom end of things, where I have had issue in the past is where the solder joint on the PUP itself has worked its way loose (or has been poorly manufactured, which for whatever reason I have found to be especially problematic on Precision PUPS), and the EMG approach seems to be a pretty decent way around this. Funnily enough John @KiOgon I think I owe you a PM on this subject that we had started discussing before the PM system fell apart a month or so back, I was going to ask whether you would be able to modify some PUPs for me to enable me to make them more anatomically similar to the EMGs, I'll check and get back to you (I need a couple of new circuits also) 👍 -
FS/FT: Mesa Boogie Carbine M6 Amp, £625
Beedster replied to silverfoxnik's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
Classy amp, despite its deceptive simplicity, while it's bloody versatile it's also very hard to make it sound anything other than bloody good. I had the combo version that - due to classic Mesa over-engineering of the cab - weighed slightly more than Luxembourg, but I still chose it over my smaller Mesa units because it did sound rather lovely. Certainly a unit that justifies the 'Engineering' in the title 👍- 18 replies

Only if the P stood for passive stingray. Close (ish) but not that close 🤔

Not used them but neither would I without a whole lot more than three reviews

New Price: Maya Fretless Bass & ohsc, 1970s/80s, £395
Beedster replied to silverfoxnik's topic in Basses For Sale
As the owner of four (yes you read that correctly) maple board fretless basses, there is a unique tone to the combination of a maple board and a Precision PUP that once heard is hard to let go of. Before owning one I'd always assumed that it would be a somewhat polite combination compared with, for example an ebony board, but quite the opposite, growly, rich, and articulate, If I didn't already have four etc......- 27 replies

FS: Ashdown Drophead 200 fliptop combo
Beedster replied to Beedster's topic in Amps and Cabs For Sale
If you have a V4B in your studio you don’t need this unless you’re looking for a pretty subtle variation on the same thing albeit a bit louder. Like the V4B this stays clean a lot longer than the PF20/PF50, and while this is rated at 200w against the V4B’s 100, in real terms there’s not a lot in it 👍 -

Thanks guys, @Sean yes I can see the move towards the neck being a move toward a certain (bassier) tone but had also heard a lot of comments about P/PUPs pretty much only working in that rather special place that Leo put the all those years ago - while a lot of basses have PUPs closer to the neck, I don't see many using a Precision PUP in that location hence the question (in short is the P/PUP unsuited to being used in the neck position). @Hellzero that is going to be an interesting read and listen, many thanks for posting 👍

Basses you sometimes regret selling!
Beedster replied to Yorkshire Bottom End's topic in Gear Gallery
Wonder if a ‘Basses you didn’t regret selling’ thread might be more entertaining 🤔 -
