    I use the Bass Whammy after my Sub Phatty to do this kind of thing, and it works great! Definitely octave pedals BEFORE the Whammy. I find the Whammy doesn't sound cheesy at all if it's fed more of a gritty signal. You may have been given that impression by all the guys on YouTube, doing w***y slap on a Warwick through the octave up setting?

    Sold Graeme my Nordstrand NJ4 pickups. The whole thing was agreed and paid for within about five minutes, and his communication was very prompt and friendly. Pleasure dealing with you Graeme, enjoy the Nordies!

    [quote name='lee650' timestamp='1488074823' post='3245672'] Shame those nj4's weren't the 70's winds,as I'm after a set 😀 [/quote] Yeah, they're not really close unfortunately...If you aren't already aware, Bass Direct have the 70s wind in stock!

[b]£55 inc. postage - SOLD PENDING[/b] [u][b]CruzTools GrooveTech Cheater Driver (for vintage Fender truss rod) - SOLD[/b][/u] Great little screwdriver which allows you to make body-end truss rod adjustments on vintage Fenders without having to take the neck off! more info [url="http://www.cruztools.com/cheaterdriver.html"]here[/url]. [b]£5 inc. postage - SOLD[/b] [u][b]Fender American Vintage 70s Jazz Bass Bridge[/b][/u] Bought to put in a bitsa, made in USA and as new.

    Pretty sure Mark King uses, and helped to develop, the Rotosound 30-50-70-90 Funkmaster set.

    Tarkin and Knightfall in one box mate, only way.

    1991 Red Hot Chili Peppers give it away - actually it's believed Flea recorded this on a Wal MK1, used for the majority of BSSM (see [url="https://youtu.be/y4O3I5X0q_4?t=25m4s"]here[/url]). You could use Aeroplane in 1996 though, apparently that's a Stingray.

    [quote name='Westenra' timestamp='1480287635' post='3183161'] What makes its tone so different from that of a regular 70s jazz bass with vintage wound pups? [/quote] Two main differences from a 70s style Jazz Bass: - Pickups are early/mid 60s voiced (using formvar wire), rather than the more aggressive late 60s/70s (enamel wire) - It has 60s pickup positioning. In 1970 Fender moved the bridge pickup 1/ 4" closer to the bridge, which changed the sound slightly in favour of the high end.

    This used to be mine! It is an AWESOME sounding bass. Tempted to buy it back Marinus ;-)
  15. bakerster135
    Is this still available? I don't intend to buy it, just curious.

    Has the headstock been refinished, and is that a replacement decal if so?

    [quote name='viss1700' timestamp='1477207169' post='3160466'] Nice bass, but....do i miss the original micro tilt for the neck and the neck plate? [/quote] Four bolt neckplate is correct for a 73. Three bolt with micro-tilt was introduced in 1974.

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1476723335' post='3156663'] Any analogue or virtual analogue synth with dual oscillators, cross-mod and oscillator sync, a filter that will go into self-oscillation and a separate envelope generator for the filter and the amplifier. [/quote] If you're willing to spend a little more I reckon you could get a second hand Korg Ms20 mini, which does all of that...If you're prepared to sacrifice filter ADSR, reckon the Novation Bass Station 2 will cover everything else, and I've seen those go for £200 second hand.

    [quote name='LayDownThaFunk' timestamp='1476561966' post='3155296'] Evil Empire is one of the best bass tones ever heard on record in my humble opinion. [/quote] And that, judging by the inlay and what he was known to play at the time, was a Jazz Bass https://goo.gl/images/z9Glq1 And I agree totally BTW! :-)

    Are you interested in trades?

    This old thread may be of interest http://basschat.co.uk/topic/2785-fernandes-thunderbird-reverse/ Looks like the one!

    [quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1473336519' post='3129227'] Damn this isn't helping my GAS haha. Have you experienced any low end loss? If I was to go for a RAT I'd look at the MXR M85 distortion or ideally the Dunwich Volt Thrower. [/quote] No low end loss on the Vitriol. If you're looking for a RAT, COG TK-421 is the one, with the LM308. MXR sounds like an even sloppier Rat Tail IME, fizzy and lacking the cut of the original.

    [quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1473272363' post='3128602'] Awesome! So it's good for Muse stuff? Was thinking about a RAT for muse songs but this would do? A few people on talkbass were suggesting that there's low end loss have you found that? [/quote] I think it adds a little bass personally, with the LPF on full, but I feel it has a bit of a (BDDI-esque) scoop which may add to that perception. Definitely spot on for the Hyper Music-type tone though. Has the nasal, buzz-saw, almost fuzz type distortion that the Animato has. I tend to find the RAT a bit too brittle or wooly for that particular application.

    [quote name='Guinness21' timestamp='1473193990' post='3127960'] Zombie thread rising from the grave, anyone tried one yet? [/quote] Yes! Bought one off here last month, from Eddie (Pinball), and I love it! It replaced my Crowella Animato copy, and does a better job (without the need for a blender!). Good low end retention, adds some if anything...Gets really distorted without losing the gnarly top end bite, which my TK-421 can't do.
