Hi Basschatters, I need help! (again). I recently purchased a Guitar off of ebay and the cases locks had been forcibly damaged and no longer works! Nor does it have keys (surprise surprise, this was not mentioned in the item description). The case is molded to the rare 1980s Charvel-Jackson Star (with graphic) which I now own so a replacement is impossible. My question is: Where would I go to get the locks on the case changed for a new set?? I can only think of a locksmith, but i think it's a little bit more specialist. If anyone has a better idea please tell me! Cheers Oli Matt

[quote name='Kongo' post='527194' date='Jun 28 2009, 10:44 PM']For the Glam Rock route you wish in sound the DiMarzio Model P should do well. There's the Will Power which I use, but that's more super hot output foe metal / hard rock etc etc. The Seymour Duncan Basslines 1/4 pound Split-P is another good choice. What's the other pickup style?[/quote] They're both Precision style pickups. I'm thinking the hard rock willpower, but I've only ever heard them with a maple fingerboard. I prefer rosewood don't know why, warmer tone I guess.

Hi Basschatters, I'm in the middle of considering which precision pickups to put in my Charvel Star Bass, in both middle and bridge positions. I've had some great advice from Kongo already with regard to the middle pickup but I've never seen a precision pickup at the bridge before - gives a crisp punchy treble sound to the bass. The bass currently has seymour duncan hotrods for a standard rock sound, what would you recommend as replacement? Cheers Oli

[quote name='Kongo' post='521926' date='Jun 23 2009, 06:03 PM']No, backwards I mean, like a double bass. You can move a switch to create a new nut on the E-string, creating 2 frets and making the string D. A unique in the X-factor bass. Hamm used this no end for tapping.[/quote] Admittedly going down to Eb would be an advantage for me, detuning is a pain.....but theres always the option of fitting a drop D tuner

[quote name='molan' post='521550' date='Jun 23 2009, 11:13 AM']I seem to remember the battery clipped into the main control cavity on the rear? I don't remember it ever running out, lol. I used to use the passive 'J' setting a lot so that would really cut down on battery use anyway. I'm pretty sure the three passive settings are true bypass as well so they would all work should the battery fail. There's a fair bit of info on the Philp Kubicki site as well. The neck is really nice & definitely great for smaller hands. I'd say it's quite similar to my '75 Jazz Reissue. I think it only weighs about 7lbs as well Have you had it professionally set up since you picked it up?[/quote] *Unscrews cavity* Oh ho ho.... thats embarassing, I jus thought the pickups were high output/overwound or something! I've been using the Active Jazz setting A LOT and it hasn't ran out yet! It has a great growl to it, and the slap style is the best i've heard but the passive jazz would be the most realistic to gig with unless its one of those bands where its all about the bassist...Jamiroquai. That battery thing is really weird, thatnks for clearing that up! Its definately the lightest bass I've played, It seemed like it had been setup before, I only took out the buzz on the A string around the 19th fret, by adjusting the saddle and leaving the neck straight. I could get it professionally setup at Cardiff Guitars in september. The frets are barely worn.

[quote name='molan' post='521408' date='Jun 23 2009, 08:16 AM']Ah, my 'baby' returns - I wondered where it had been hiding out I was the first owner of this after it was reviewed in Guitar mag. Really nice bass, so light and super versatile, great covers band gigging bass as it switches so fast from Jazz to Precision to high definition active sounds at the flick of a switch, even has a bass boost option for soloing. Hope it goes to a nice home [/quote] Hi Molan! Yeah its in fab condition, the owner afterwards looked after it brilliantly as well. Do you know how the active passive electronics work? I was looking for a battery input, still puzzles me - but thats not hard. I'm still a lil apprehensive on selling this one because its hard to find a bass for small hands that has that kinda tone.
