  1. Jesus they are nice. Whats the price on these? im taking it they're more than a standard 2eq?
  2. is there a 'ray 4 in this series too? I hope so
  3. hopefully Ill have an adition to this thread by the end of the week. A black, black, (birdseye) maple 2 eq
  4. From one bearded T-40 player to another. I really hope this goes to a good home, its a f***ing beauty
  5. going on the features it doesn't have a great deal in common with either. IMO a P or a J bass is defined by its pickup configuration, body shape and neck profile, (obviously these all contribute to its tone), this has none of the features of either by the looks of it. That isnt to say that you couldnt get a P or a J tone (or at least something simular out of it) using its onboard electronics but I wouldn't say it falls under either category.
  6. I really like this too, I always had a soft spot for the old one but could never bring myself to buy one.
  7. I have a B 4x10 HLF which my SVT classic killed in less than a year.
  8. Very professional and easy to deal with. I love my new T-bass. always replies to messages within a day, all in all a pleasure to do business with. Thanks Gareth
  9. [quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='669550' date='Nov 29 2009, 10:14 PM']I'm waiting for someone to turn up on here with a "Rail." Fred.T.Baker had one when I had a couple of lessons with him in the late 80's. Seriously cool thing! [/quote] I was hoping the same, there is one on e-bay in red at the moment, if it wasnt in austraila i might be tempted
  10. [quote name='basshead56' post='668128' date='Nov 28 2009, 11:30 AM']Think I recognise this. Did it come from County Cork, Ireland, by any chance?[/quote] yeah it certainly did man. You know the previous owner?
  11. Basses BY the settee in my case, L-R Gibson Grabber 1970's (all original), Fender P-bass (US/MEX Modded, Delano Pup, Switchcraft under mounted jack, Paint job, Hipshot hardware, for sale) Fender Jazz (CIJ 66 reissue, Modded, Badass II bridge, Shed Hot n Dangerous pickups, sanded neck) Aria Pro II SB Elite II 1983 (for sale), Peavey T-40 1979 (maybe for sale)
  12. Duuude I wanted this when you put it on SWM. What's changed your mind about the sale? Colour me interested.
  13. Im shopping for new pots for my P-bass which currently doesn't have any onboard controls and I have a few questions which need answering. If anyone can help I'd be very appreciative. 1, What are the standard pot resistance values in a P-bass? 2, How is is Mark Hoppus P-bass wired? as i am thinking of possibly going volume only. 3, What make of pots should I go for?
  14. Ooooh that is pretty sexy. I have recently acquired a white n gold SB Elite II which i am currently loving. I'm taking it this used to be a single pick-up?
  15. Vintage Stingray copy* I had a terrible habit of breaking the bottom tuning peg off this one Epiphone Thunderbird* Had terrible neck dive, I think that is its best feature. Fender P-bass 1978 Bought for £450 then swapped for the T-40, who's previous owner then sold for £900, It was black with a rosewood neck and had been on a few world tours with The 60ft Dolls, so it was a bit battered, It used to glow a really cool colour under UV light too. I really miss this bass. It was my first decent bass and my first Fender. Peavey T-40 1979* There's a thread in gear porn if you wanna know more about them. I adore this bass, Natural/black/maple in colour. Warwick Streamer Stage 1 V Unquestionably the worst £1,800 ive ever spent, I was in a metal band at the time and bands like Limp Bizkit and Mudvayne were using warwicks so I thought Yes, clearly this is a clever way of spending some money, a boutique bass that should serve me well for the rest of time. Oh how wrong i was, Damn nearly put me off active circuitry for life. But it was, as I discovered a while after the metal band split up, lovely for funk. CIJ 1966 Fender Jazz (reissue)* Candy Apple Red with matching headstock and dots 'n' bound neck, I fell in love with this bass on sight and I plays like I dream I had to have it. It turned out to have really low output pickups and the worst bridge in history but this was soon rectified with a pair of Shed "Hot n Dangerous" pickups and a Badass II. It is now pretty much my number one bass even though I prefer playing P-basses. It does get slightly heavy after a few hours though. 1970 something Gibson Grabber (slidey Pup model)* Our git-arist pretty much talked me into buying this becaust Thrice have toured and recorded with one for the last few albums and they really do have a stunning bass tone. Sadly he was right and it does sound awesome, but the slightest atmospheric pressure change and it is all over the place. In the year I've owned it its been set up/adjusted at some expense 3 times. I really wish it didnt have these problems. It has some neck dive issues too, but the tone makes this forgiveable, also its no where near as bad as the T-bird for it. Modern MIA Fender P-bass* I straight swapped this for my warwick. It has an MIM rosewood neck and a USA body, Full hipshot hardware a hell of a paint job and no onboard controls, If i could only get on with the Delano pickup it is brandishing I would love this bass, I'm gonna put an SPB-3 or maybe a Di Marzio Model P in it and see what happens. If i still dont like it I might replace it with a stingray. Aria Pro II SB Elite II* My most recent aquisition, a very stable beautifully made and balanced bass with really good versatility and almost absolute player comfort. It does lack soul though, typically japanese. May also be re homed to fund the stingray if the P-bass goes Trace Elliot T-bass (pending delivery)* I will let you know when I comes, suffice to say I am pretty excited about this one
  16. I'm slowly falling in love with this bass.
  17. Wow thats a lot of antigua, what years are they all?
  18. The Jackson 5 - I want you back. Turned out to be a good cure for bone idle little finger syndrome too
  19. This thread is giving me terrible GAS, anyone got a black/white/natural maple boarded (preferably birds-eye) 2eq looking for a good home? Edit - going cheap
  20. I also have A CIJ 66 jazz in CAR with the matching headstock and a lovely "dots n bound" neck. Its curently suffering with a little bit of fret buzz on the low E but other than that she is a beauty
  21. [quote name='munkonthehill' post='658225' date='Nov 18 2009, 03:47 PM']yo yo yo, ok chaps i have this known issue with my fender jag, the hissing,,,god how i hate the hissing. its really bad in active mode especially with the treble boost high and i noticed its kinda bad with my gain turned up on my little line6 lowdown. this all becomes quiet when i touch any part of the bass that has metal. so how oh how do i fix this????[/quote] Im not 100% on this but.... I would recommend copper lining all the control cavities, Did this to my Jazz when I installed new pickups and it shut it right up You can get sheets of sticky back copper from Maplin I believe.
