    Well my little shoal of piranhas, all sorted thank you very muchly. A combination of the recommended eq. changed gain/master setting and pick up adjustment and the P sounded rather jolly nice thank you. Basically gain to 12 o'clock, bass 9 o'clock, low mids 3 o'clock, high mids 11 o'clock, treble 1 o'clock, master at, erm, 8 o'clock (or on about 2 in old money). Oh, and loud. Very loud. Was through the pa for first set, took me out for second set due to overpowering guitarses and drummer. Not convinced but nonetheless Seriously though guys, many thanks for all the advice

    Lovely bass Lozz, I really should have bought this when it was in Stockport, but I just couldn't get the timing right. Have a bump fella, all the best. Karl.
  3. karlfer
    You lot better get this bought. The ONLY reason I haven't pm'd James is my mother is here and I can't get to Sheffield until next week!

    As you know Mark, sound is a very subjective issue, not just ruled by bass but style, strings, set up, amp, amp settings, cab, room and all the other things that can make tiny differences. What I will say is that with the middle pup solo'd it is a typical P, but the jazz dialed in just a touch makes it that bit spicier. You have all the good stuff from a PJ WITHOUT the volume bleed that is usually associated with a P/J. Currently set up with flats, best idea regarding an unbiased comment on sound is to pm timmchale2009. He gigged it quite a bit more than me, and isn't in a position whereby he is trying to sell it. Cheers, Karl.

  6. karlfer
    From those photos, everything from the front says 75 RI. Didn't know Mexico did them though . I appear to have lost the facility for paragraphs so please excuse me, but Arpi's questions plus is gig bag/case included?

    Hello Mark, nothing really changed to be honest. Still on FEEBay at £700 BIN (plus courier costs). Not really bumping it here as seems little interest, even though for the reason of fees etc it is still £100 cheaper here (plus courier costs). I allowed quite a lot for this when I got it so really won't be going any cheaper. Part of that allowance was because of the costs of the mods (over £200) but I wouldn't expect to get that back. However, other Glaubs have gone on here for £600 and more, so I think I am asking a fair amount. Especially with a Gator hardcase included in the price. Guess by the fact it's still here others must disagree Oh it will very probably be at The Flying Shuttle in Bury on Saturday night.

    [quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1379408482' post='2212203'] Wow, is this a north/south thing?!! I'm just trying to keep the cost down and I'm not in a hurry to sell! If for 800 I can get you a hard case and ship it, then I'll do it with pleasure. I have UPS coming on Saturday for another bass. But not in a gig bag, I've seen it go wrong before so I won't take the chance. Cheers! [/quote] Nope, just a bit of light hearted banter It is frustrating though that so many good basses can not be couriered. Bump.

    Stunning basses, put it on the Bay at a BIN of £1300. Fabulous.

    See, I know all you lads in London have a tough time. None of you appear to be in a position to go to a guitar shop and buy a £15 cheap padded gig bag. Or scrounge a large cardboard box from Halfords. Or get some bubble wrap from the Post Office or B and Q. I can only presume that London has none of these outlets, unlike us in the Arctic Circle (or Lancashire I believe some call it). Seriously though Chiliwailer, it's not a pop at you, it's just it happens SO often that folk down south can not courier basses. At least you ACKNOWLEDGED the post. I do wish you good luck with your sale, but you are one of three currently that I may well have spent around £800 with, but not if I am expected to do a 400 mile round trip as well. Bump.
  11. karlfer
    Very nice but a 400 mile round trip means one potential buyer out. GLWTS

    [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1379343053' post='2211469'] What the f*** did you have to do that for [/quote] I saw one in the UK acouple of weeks back, pushing a grand. Get this one bought you tart
  13. karlfer
    Perhaps I'm just naive, but a bass with that much paint missing? I would expect the back of the neck to show a lot more wear than that one is!

    [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1379352395' post='2211618'] Yeh, it's a Stealth II. Seems a shame for the seller. Going to go for a song just because he can't be bothered putting a new tuner on it and a new set of strings. [/quote] Looking at it, he appears to be some kind of pawn broker?

    [quote name='GregBass' timestamp='1379359578' post='2211805'] I gave one away [/quote] Ah, there is another like me

    Sold

    karlfer replied to Jazzjames's topic in Basses For Sale

    If you couriered you would open this bass up to the other 70% of the population Edit. Sorry, they haven't started making them again, they afre discontinued. The few that are left, whilst pricey, are actually getting sold off for LESS than they were retailing for. So, the pricey is now actually, er , cheaper than they were. Or put another way, this is a bargain!

    For that money it should be built in Paradise by 4 breasted maidens! Who come with it.

    [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1379334088' post='2211321'] After a little digging, the floatation is to raise cash to pay off Fender's current debts of $246m. Who knows what management decisions brought them to this state or what crazy things they'll do trying to get out of it! Buy your US Fenders now, while you can!! [/quote] Or wait for the fire sale?

    Which manual Alex? I asked here because there are a lot of enthusiastic users and I know you are always run off your feet trying to keep up with demand! I always have the limiter on, the clip/pad light doesn't come on. The Jazz sounds marvellous through it, as does the Lakland. Tonight the P pup will be attacked with measuring stick and screwdriver, but really it's going to be Sat night before I can gig-experiment. Absolutely pointless in the little spare bedroom. I am starting to think a combination of pup adjustment and using the gain/master differently to how GK suggest in the handbook may bring about a solution. For a long time gig volume on previous amps was achieved by setting gain to just clip, backing off a touch then setting master, but this is not what the GK handbook recommends. Finally, we were playing the Fox and Goose in Southport on Saturday night, when I was struggling. For the first time in the 30+ gigs I have used this, a young bass player wandered over at the end and said "Is that a Super 12". "Yes" beamed I. "Sounds great" sayeth he. "Cheers" sayeth I. 5 minutes later the drummer berated me for being a bitching old git.

    Bump for a splendid fella!
  22. karlfer
    If you had addressed a couple of points made in post #20, this may well have gone before now. Just sayin.
  23. karlfer
    Actually re- reading this has given even more food for thought. I have slavishly followed the instruction booklet, ie, master at 3pm, gain to suit, usually around 8/8.30pm and contour thing off. Our gig Saturday coming is one of the less bust ones, so will have a live prat about before the sound check. There won't be too many to upset at that time.
  24. karlfer
    Some interesting stuff here guys, many thanks. Except you Mark . Shut up !
