I'm not asking what is better....simply how they compare & contrast Cheers Si

Cheers guys I haven't played fretless for years, and that was an unfinished rosewood board. Thinking I'll go Ebony, then I can always epoxy it at a later date...harder to go the other way I suspect Thanks Si

Hi guys Just wondered if I could gain some opinions on epoxied rosewood fingerboards verses non-epoxied ebony fingerboards. Things I'm interested in thoughts/personal experience of: Sound/tone Wear with round/flatwounds Feel Cheers Si

Yeah that price is wishful thinking at best Looks nice though! Si

Definitely not a '69. Refin at best, re-badged jap-crap at worst Si

Have to say that I've never played a Jazz that has touched my USA one I had one of the Squier CV's for a little while, and while they're really great basses for the money, it didn't come close to my US J. What they're worth from a monetary point of view is totally subjective and completely influenced by your personal circumstances. Si

Most people are gonna chip in with what they use.....so I'll just come out and say that, if you can get one, the Boss CS-2 is great, my fave that I've tried. It's a classic case of trying a lot and seeing what suits you Si

Anyone popping along to see Juan Alderete's side/solo project next Tuesday 24th Apr? If you're unaware, he's the fx pedal guru who plays bass for Mars Volta [url="http://bigsir.bandcamp.com/"]http://bigsir.bandcamp.com/[/url] I'm driving up on my own from High Wycombe, so if anyone is going, lemme know Si

I can't wait to get my PN-2 onto my board, just after my Orbit omnomnomnom Si

The FEA looks nice, but it's not really catering for a pedal channel switching/mixing setup?!. Only two channel inputs, which means that you have to have an extra splitter at the start of your chain, send through the relevent pedal loops, then into the channel mixer. It also looks like you can only swap channel 2 in and out, so you couldn't select it independantly of channel 1 without bending down and turning the gain for 1 all the way down?! Si

[quote name='Ant' timestamp='1334822759' post='1621701'] i always just cut the velcro into thin strips and put it round the edge of the boss pedals rubber, worked for years with no problems, in fact i think the tu2 i did it to was the most secure pedal on my board [/quote] Yeah that's exactly what I do, mostly to preserve all the Japanese Black Labels lol Si

Naaa, all passives are different, I just tweeted you the question, but it depends what pickups you're using. For example, Bartolinis sound fantastic with a pre, but passively their output is very low. Get some Dimarzio's or something wound hot into a bass with no pre, it'll blow your head off. I certainly wouldn't base a decent passive setup on the OLP you've got I had an OLP with a Bartolini MM and an East 2 band, that was the only active bass I've ever liked Si

I've been telling you that for ages Active basses are balls, un-neccesary EQ, no dynamics, choke effects.... passive FTW Si

For a while now I've been GASing after Juan's bass from that vid, an early 70's P/J lined fretless. Pure tone!! Now where to find one lol Si

What we've learned here is 'Wanna use pedals.....get a passive bass' Si

Juan is a dude, real big inspiration to me! I think his board is actually really musical, he knows every pedal inside out and uses them to add rather than cover-up Si
