ok so heres my humble pedalboard [attachment=98028:IMG_3653.JPG]

"are you using 2 separate volume controls, one for each pickup, or it a master volume plus blend setup?" yeah 2 seperate volume controls. Thanks for the advice guys, gonna look at upgrade pots, especially the non solder one! Thanks!

anyone?

thats weird i just asked a very similar question today! I would say its not normal for a spanking new P, however have you tried it with a different amp and/or speakers first?

Hi Guys im sure something like this has been discussed before but here goes. I currently use an '82 - '51 reissue JV squier P (with modded jazz pup) with SD quarter pounders, it sounds ace and i love it as my own child! However, and i guess this may be fairly common, its not very "smooth" when turning up or down the volume, or adjusting the treble or even switching between pups. It sorta goes from nothing to 100% way before i've fully finished turning the controls. Switching between pups doesnt blend particulaly well either, again kind of all or nothing between the P or the J. Is this a pot control issue? Maybe the electrics are shot or just crap? Is there somewhere i could purchase an "upgrade" for the internal bits for P basses? Sorry if i sound a bit of a luddite, but I can just about change Pups with a solder so is this a DIY job or a trip down to Mansons Exeter!!? Thanks for any advice!

I dream of audiences of more than 20 never mind 200....

we have used thomman speakon and xlr cables for a couple of years now with no problems. Good value. We use EV 767a vocal mic's and SM58's for guitar amp to PA reviews here [url="http://www.gearslutz.com/board/low-end-theory/475495-my-entirely-subjective-review-beta58a-vs-sennheiser-e935-vs-ev-767a.html"]http://www.gearslutz.com/board/low-end-theory/475495-my-entirely-subjective-review-beta58a-vs-sennheiser-e935-vs-ev-767a.html[/url]

Went for £78 quid. Bargain!

oh yes!

first gig always a hard one! Well done and i hope you build upon the success!

PS my next purchase will also be a super 12! Cant wait!

ha ha, don't be scared! i use the PF-500 with a DHA VT-2, so i get tubey- pre- warmth with the light weight convieniance of the PF-500. So far the PF-500 has been very reliable and plenty loud for gigs. Whether it sounds like an ampeg is a bit of a sticking point as its my first ampeg so i have nothing to compare it to!

sorry but i dont see the point in the roadworns at all. I got a great '82 JV squier P/J here on basschat thats looks roadworn because it is roadworn (30 years roadworn!) and it sounds and plays amazing, plus it was only £450 quid. Why buy essentially a fake look when there are some amazing genuine "vintage" axes out there for half the money?

[quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1326199255' post='1493604'] Yep, I use even cheaper flatwounds than Rich does (I tried the ones he uses, I didn't get on with them). They are nice. When I do use rounds, I use Legacys, they are around £8 a set, and absolutely fine. [/quote] yep gig with the legacy's and i find em fine!

got a BYOC delay, its awesome, its also for sale....

ah mad GAS for one....................

[quote name='Monckyman' timestamp='1324471673' post='1474583'] So he wore that abomination to avoid tuning his bass? lazy twat. [/quote]

Got a nice BYOC analogue for £70 if you're interested Pm me!

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1325415578' post='1482842'] sex on fire is a good one to learn and play............................ [/quote] As you may be aware, it's actually against the law Not to play this at weddings, so "essential" rather than mere "fun"....

dunno much about em but it looks great and a steal at 300squid mate!

Hey Scott thats absoloutely brilliant! Many thanks, gonna start learning all my modes tonight!

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1324945567' post='1478731'] Well I knackered my 19" alloys on the chuffin narrow roads and granite kerbs and believe it or not there was no parking outside the cottage either!(irony) Some of the main A roads were only 1 lane wide too! Also no TV so all in all whilst it was a lovely place and cottage I'm glad to be out of it. Unfortunately the MIL is in the early stages of dementia so it's a bit difficult here too, off up to London on the 30th for a few days with the kids..... [/quote] ah sorry to hear that mate! 19" alloys not a great idea, unless its on a range rover sport, lots of them in chagford! Yeah TV receptions a joke on the moor, you see everyone has freesat now.
