Just had a look at your Godin, I have massive respect for them as my electric guitar is Godin, best I've ever tried. Your bass has had a lot done and it must sound tremendous but it has a rosewood neck which I can't get used to. It's one of the reasons my P Lyte is still in its bag The weight of yours is ideal.

For some reason this excites me http://www.public-peace.de/index.php/bass-guitars/maruszczyk/elwood/4-string

Wow, thanks for the ideas folks, some great advice there! That HMT looks amazing, please sell it to me ..... NOW! Also love the idea of the Godin, that would probably be my first choice at the moment but I should explore possibilities with my Lyte first, bit nervous of going into the rats nest that is the wiring Used to sell Dano's at my shop, struggled to get any of them with a low action.....maybe worth another look. Played about 16 songs in church this morning and I'm pretty crippled right now How are you Karl m'boy?

Hey guys n gals, My lower back has really got a lot worse and I'm struggling to stand for more than a few minutes at a time holding my MIM Precision. It weighs about 9 lbs but it's way too much now especially with our church's biggest Sunday coming up and 15 songs to play My wife is going to fund a new bass until I can sell the 2 that I have so ideally I would love a Fender precision again but it would have to be seriously lighter, could you make some suggestions on which way to go with this please? I would consider others but it must have a maple board. I do have a Precision Lyte but the pickup to my ears isn't very powerful and as it's mint I don't want to mess with the electrics to upgrade it, plus it's rosewood. thanks for any advice.
-
I just like the modern Precisions, slim neck, err.. 4 strings and a maple board + lightweight, white or red, simple controls for a simple soul. Job done. I have all the above except lightweight, still looking for that.
-
Sorry for the delay, what do you have in mind chief? a good 6 string electro acoustic or a minty precision would go down well. -
Stunning! -
Guys, thanks for the input, I don't use the bridge J pickup at all, I do like the SPB-1 sound, it's perfect for me so I'll replace the stock one for that and see what it's like. My back's quite bad again so I need to do something. Just wanted to check that I wouldn't do any damage.

To add to the above, Steve bought my Retrovibe and it was a very smooth deal, paid extremely promptly with good friendly emails. Another good guy to deal with. Thanks Steve.

Bump for a stunning 12 string.. here's a demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZq_5hTqMZs

Sold thanks. -
Just had a quick play, it seems to reproduce an excellent P sound to my ear, don't know about any others 'cos I cannot really distinguish one bass sound from another. I really need the dough so I'm reducing it to £180 posted for a quick sale.
-
sorry, didn't get that at all, I don't look at dresses much these days, I find classic cars more interesting
-
Paul, I'll have a play today and report back as I can't remember, it's powerful though. It lights up the room it's hanging in. I've had quite a lot of interest via PM.
-
Eh? That statement should be taken outside and shot.
-
Retrotovibe advertise here so I can't see there being a problem unless you are trying to make it a one? In fact this very model was advertised here on the main page not long ago.
-
Thanks guys, plays every bit as well as it looks too.

Unplayed due to arthritis getting significantly worse so my loss will be someone else's gain. Immaculate condition with a low action and very easy to play if you don't have arthritis Looking for £395 posted to uk address.

As title, bought the last one recently and it's been used at home for about 10 mins, awesome powerful beast with looks to die for. I want £199 posted because it's new and unmarked.

Hi all, I have a mint Precision Lyte with the P/J setup and acitve pre', I find the P pickup weedy but the weight is perfect for me so the question is: I have a spare SD-SPB-1 pickup going spare so would it go straight in as a direct replacement? would it cause any issues doing that? I know I should get a better preamp but it's wasted on me, I don't ever use the J pickup. I just want a lightweight precision out of it. thanks for any help/advice.

Tearfund is a very worthy cause, GLWTS. -
The bass I bought is excellent, can't fault it I bought a stinger pre to put in my SUB 4 and I'm having problems with a few of the soldered wire connections on it dropping off, given up for the moment as I can't get it to work.

[quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1423957658' post='2691000'] Also: Rickenbackers have no low end. Ashdowns are ill-defined and muddy. Gibson have never made a decent bass. [/quote] Totally agree about Ashdowns, they can be very muddy and indistinct, I drove miles to buy one and then drove miles back again without it. Poor miles I now only use Orange & Trace Elliott.

hahahahaha what a problem to have never heard that before. this is a tribute and quite new so maybe it's that? G&L pickups were always loud on my L-2000's but on this I have to have it cranked up quite a bit to get it loud enough, the tone is fine though. Thanks Ham for your input I think I'll get a set and give it a go.
-
Anyone tried these passive pickups? Any good? My new G&L sb2 is a bit quiet so fancy a change.
