Update - should have probably put this in repairs and technical! I started to spray this, eventually, not gone as well as expected! certainly not as well as the stingray Plenty of prep done, lots of sanding and filling, I have missed a few tiny holes, but nothing major. Masking it took a while Couple of coats of sanding filler followed by a few coats of white primer, then on went the sonic blue The spray is fine, problem is the grain in the wood which is showing through and it’s three pieces that have been jointed so it’s not consistent across the body it’s had a fair bit of paint and some of it has been covered but a lot is still there, should have used grain filler I can see why poly is used to cover the grain up! It looks ok though, just contemplating more paint, but the way nitro works, the slight unevenness caused by the grain will still show, although more paint will allow me to flat it off some more Just giving it a light rub down with 800 grit, it doesn’t need much as the spray is good

This is my small pedal train pedal board, dominated by filters! Did have a SA BEF, which saw a lot of use Decided to try a few others and the result is this little selection The Aguilar is probably the least versatile, very easy to get a good sound, I like what it does MXR BEF is well known, can be totally outrageous, accept no substitute 3 leaf Grove Regulator, relatively new, versatile filter, different to the MXR, not as crazy, really funky, still getting used to what it can do The valeton OC10 works great when on with any of these filters Using two passive basses so all three just work without much tweaking, no matter what I’m playing, but the MXR is the one I am inclined to adjust the most. And there is a gap in the board! 😜 Tony

Pair of jazz bass pickups from Morch guitars, these are the Fat Fingers version from their range! These came out of a Sei bass I recently obtained, in favour of a pair of 70’s style pick ups a new set will set you back around £180 This is what they say about them...... FAT FINGERS (Alnico V/SV) Bass Passive Singlecoil Produced for 4 strings This popular pickup is designed for bass players who wants considerably higher outputs and a more gutsy and full tone with a warmer, fuller sound quality to the lower midrange and a big, open bass response. The treble has a certain “vintage” characteristic – i.e. with a gradual treble roll off as opposed to super penetrating highs. If you add the Mørch Active Preamp you will experience even more dynamics in the lower octaves and you will obtain a more open and airy treble. Data : DC: 7,98 , Resonance Peak: 5,0 KHz – Neck: DC: 7,50 , Resonance Peak: 5,26 KHz Time to try something different? Price includes postage Have a nice day Tony

Yes, I thought that as well you can see the capacitors in the photo! the VVT is much simpler not sure on the history of the plate that was in the bass! Tony

Hi I got a new jazz a few weeks back, after several years of playing a jazz with VVT, the new bass had VT VT i noticed very low output from bridge pick up, compared to neck pickup and an overall more aggressive sound that what I was used to in my 64 CS jazz, to the point where I was thinking a p/up change might be needed so I opted for a new plate with VVT from KiOgos, which came yesterday! These look great, got the soldering iron out to disconnect the old plate and then two minutes to fit the new one 😎 what a difference!! Balanced output from both pickups and big change in sound, much smoother and more what I would expect from a jazz, more typical jazz sound! i know there people who are advocates of VT VT, but not for me, VVT all the way, it’s what I’m used too and the difference between the two was very obvious Tony

I forgot add my pictures!

This may have been done before, but couldn’t find a thread after searching “provenance” A few weeks back I bought a Sei bass off this forum, some of you probably saw it, it was made for Randy Hope Taylor! I owned another Sei around 10 years ago that was made for Paul turner! last week I saw a Gibson come up for sale that had really cool Provenance, having been owned by Glen Matlock and gigged with Sid vicious, before being moved on to Jonny Marr! So I got inspired to start this thread to see what other basses are owned by Bass Chat people, that have provenance of any kind Tony

Currently enjoying Aguilar twin filter and MXR BEF working Well for me, the MXR has the edge when it comes to our and out dirty funk sound, wider range than the aguilar The Aguilar is so easy to dial in a good sound, very musical and usable in my opinion! Not got my boomstick bottom feeder back yet! and the valeton octave pedal I got a bout a month back is staying on my board, £35 well spent and sounds great into either of the filters! nice simple board at moment Tuner - valeton OC -10. - MXR BEF. - Aguilar twin filter. - Dunlop mini bass wah (the Little white one) Tony
