    Tiny little update: The headstock logo transfer arrived a few days back from a very nice man called Trey in the US. Its an S9 series Jazz Bass logo. I'll affix it as soon as i get the tuners sorted Nice Si

    I've had my ABM 500 for about 4 years, and i reckon it was in the shop for at least 6months before that so not sure if its chinese or UK made. I've had ZERO problems with general functionality, like I've mentioned before, I've had to replace the VU meter bulb once and a button that fell off, thats it.......touch wood Si p.s. the gear is heavily used, 3 to 4 times a week, and completed a 26 date UK tour in May, being played every night pretty much.

    The wiring would be similar to that of a Les Paul etc, a volume and tone per pickup. I personally think that a MM style humbucker is going to benefit from a preamp to get sounding real nice. If you're spending the money to rout in a new pickup, might as well get the guy to rout out the space for a preamp. The Aguilar preamps are tiny. Si

    Man, how are you actually paying for rent and Uni and general living? lol Si

    So the LED's have been threaded though the neck as usual, but not connected to the body/no mods or routs to the body? Cheers Si

    Very interested in the pics! Hows it the bass routed for the LED battery? And do you know at least if the pickups are USA/vintage fenders of any sort? Si

    Newtone strings can hand wind you a slightly higher tension string which would mean you can have it in Drop D tuning with whatever gauge you like, and still have the same action and impact as standard tuning, although they'd feel a bit tight if you tuned back up to standard again. (do you mean just Drop D, or Drop D Standard, so DADG or DGCF?)? I use Newtones exclusively for standard tuning, and also a high tension set for Drop C standard. And the price, about the same as a set of Elites....delivered, nice Si p.s. most think that increased tension is caused by thicker gauge strings, thats true to a small degree, but the majority of tension is controlled by the core of the string. Newtone can increas the size of the core to suit your tuning, potentially allowing you to use thin gauges for low tunings if you don't want fat strings.

    Just so people know the model, is it the one with two jazz pickups or two soapbars? I had 2 of the soapbar 5 strings (the higher model) a couple of years ago, very nice basses, the one i brought new i sold for a £300 loss. The one i brought 2nd hand i sold for the same price albeit after having paid £50 for a defret. Nice basses, but stuff like this just doesn't hold its value in the slightest good luck mate Si

    Man, i wish someone would offer a G&L 4 string up for my Jazz Deluxe *hint hint* Si
  17. Sibob
    No i meant, how do you shorten it to one syllable like sever to 'sev' Si

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='54704' date='Sep 3 2007, 01:02 PM']Martin Petersen at the Bass Gallery gets a small firm who refinish roulette wheels to do his basses, so he tells me.[/quote] So that's what the 20% price hike was for!! Si

    what do you reduce sixteen down to? Si

    Its funny you should talk about vocalising things Mikey. Quite often when we're bored in the band van (especially on tour) we'd practice polyrhythms by each picking a different set of words and seeing how long we could go before someone messed up Our faves were: What-is-the-beef = 4 against Cheese-on-toast = 3 against Un-i-ver-sit-y = 5 anyway, quite fun lol Si

    I'm sure i could throw them in Si

    [quote name='Shockwave' post='57480' date='Sep 8 2007, 06:56 PM']Heh, 4 months ago i might have been interested! But alas, I have never played a Jazz i got on with , Plus unless it was a status or a rick i would prefer 5 strings and above I may have to go custom shop or warmoth to get the jazz i want! (P bass neck) And yeah, She said after being together for 5 years its about time Have to pop her the question by the 22nd of November or else! I am gonna hire out a hot air balloon and propose there Its going to be a LONG engagement.[/quote] Thats cool dude, pity, cos its almost a kinda deep dark pink lol Not to hijack the thread but "5 years, its about time"?? and "gotta propose or else"?, that whole middle line makes it sound alll wrong IMO. I know people who have been together and extremely happy for 15 years without needing to get married. And i've never seen the point in LOOONG engagements, just love each other till you can afford to get married then do it straight away. Don't get rushed into it, you're only 22 dude. But anyway lol Good luck with spending your wad Si

    Engagement ring???....crazy fecker! Good Luck! I got a nice USA Fender Jazz Deluxe [topic="5159"]HERE[/topic]. PM me if you're interested in sorting something perhaps. What do you have to trade? Si
