[/quote] Good man John, she looks a beaut.. + Thanks to all involved last week for a great afternoon of bass,based fun

[quote name='Prunesquallor' timestamp='1352476651' post='1863612'] Surely, I can get the soloed sounds with the standard V/V/T configuration, though, or am I missing something? [/quote] Yeah sure you can, that's all still much the same, however, you can for example add some bridge pick up with the tone rolled off to your classic front pick up, flat out sound, which sounds really good and is impossible with the VVT.. Not saying it adds loads... just adds another dimension whilst retaining all your usual jazz tones..

Hey Neil. Good question, I have a Stacker 62 re-issue and I love it. Personally I think you can get all the usual Jazz tones and a few more besides, very versatile. You can get great Reggae sounds by backing the tone off on the front pickup and shutting down the bridge pickup altogether. Use the front pick up alone with tone control to taste and a pick for precision-esq rock tones. + Obviously with a Jazz that funk sound is only a bit of bridge pick up away... I have had a fair few Jazzes and this one is my favorite by some distance. People often talk about that "sweet spot" on a Jazz where you get "that" tone and extra presence If you have played one you will instantly hear it when you have it dialled in.... To me there are 2 sweet spots on a stacker though... so that's a bonus!! Pretty easy to get the hang of controls too, I guess it all comes down to personal taste really but I am quite bemused that the standard VVT setup became the norm on the jazz.... No doubt the proper Fender experts will be along shortly with a potted history of why etc.... As always, try first or buy a secondhand control plate is the way to go I guess...

[quote name='gazgoldstar' timestamp='1351704086' post='1854425'] Hi, finally! Here is the review I made for Sonicstate.com of the Wahoo. Any questions I'll gladly answer.

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1351684103' post='1854078'] weird, I kind of do the opposite. I listen to the song as normal, but play the bass an octave higher until I've worked out the bassline. [/quote] +1 Works for me too when they are a bit more tricky

I am still def up for being there. I will bring a camera and all the gear in my sig. cheers TK

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1350837372' post='1844054'] Is GAS shared GAS halved? [/quote] .... as you can see...NO! GAS Shared round here is the equivalent of pouring fuel on the fire.... I find Grand Wazoo is particularly guilty of this when it comes to Dingwalls...

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1350648091' post='1841699'] Sterling work (as always) Scott. I thought it already was, just not this tight... [/quote] Yes I meant as in a lesson/example..... I am so fed up with hearing rubbish slap bass (including my own!!) esp.. in music shops....
