  1. [quote name='FlatEric' post='644299' date='Nov 3 2009, 12:19 PM']You are absolutely correct! Hartley Peavey and Chip Todd pioneered the use of machinery to replicate the features over and over again. The machine developed to make rifle butts identical, could make necks that had the same profile, time after time. CNC machines were put to use on the other parts that were machined, so each instrument had a consistency. I have several T-40's and T-60's and the feel of each is the same, with the only difference being between the early ones (more slab bodied) and the later ones, which were more contoured. They also laminted the necks in a way that Leo Fender later used on his G&L range. Check out the link below.

[/quote] Thats cool man, how do you work out the age of them? mine is definatly an old one because it is slab bodied and doesnt have the pickup rails but ive never actually known the age
  2. Once again I have decided that my P-bass needs a new pickup so for sale is this lovely piece of work. The website says this :- "Just imagine meaty P-Bass™ tone with in-your-face Stingray™ style grind and attack, then you got at least the frame of the picture. Due to its tight broad frequency range, this is a GREAT pickup for nu-school funk and rock players, it loves droptuned basses and massive tone tweaking." and i completely agree but its just not the tone I want. I'm currently tempted by either a Duncan SPB-3 or a DiMarzio Split P. Ive had the duncan before and i loved it but i sold the bass it was in and didnt think to take it out. The DiMarzio just sorta interests me. If you fancy a swap hit me up. The sale is to finance either of the above so im looking around the £70/80 mark but i have no idea what the Delano costs new, if im out of the ball park please let me know Much Love Cocco
  3. Hey guys, Im just wondering if anyone has been on either of the shuker courses and looking for some information on it. I just saw it on the website and I really wanna go
  4. I read somewhere that the necks on the first few years of production were made on a machine which was designed for making rifle butts, im not sure how true this is, but I love telling everyone who takes interest in my T-40 about it
  5. I love your fenders, the block inlayed white jazz has to be my favorite. Welcome to our world. Word to the wise, the for sale section is evil.
  6. is there not a modern shape vintage modified too? i just googled it and it came up with what has become the standard precision shape aswell as the EB-3 style humbucker equipped one

    New here!

    the for sale section is the devil. but everything else is good welcome to the nut house.
  8. Man you have no idea how tempted i am to sell everything i own to buy this, she is beautiful. any interest in a trade?
  9. someone please buy this before it gets me into trouble
  10. Hey guys. I've recently bought an Aria SB II Elite off a fellow BCer and am a little stumped as to what the controls do. Anyone got any ideas? Research would suggest it has the same electronics as the SB900 and SBR 80 but I'm going on what I see alone here. HELP!!!!

Credit to Umph who talked me through modding mine. Its dead easy inside.[/quote] Cheers for the quick responce man. What kinda values are we talking? And what is the socket to swap between? Sorry man I'm a complete novice at this :s
  12. Hey guys. I've just aquired an original styley (black n red stripey) guv'nor. Anyone got one of these? I'm after some info on modding them for a, more low frequency responce and b, more dirt. Not that I've even tried it without yet. I've been lead to believe that they generally require modding for best results. What do people think?
  13. Out of curiosity what do u plan on replacing it with? im having the same problem with a rat
  14. Whats it sound like? im always in the market for overdrive and i have terrible GAS
  15. Oi! some of us are only in our 20s and dont consider ourselves to be old. We can still party hard EDIT: Welcome to the forum
  16. Indeed i do have one of these babies and I love it dearly, I will post some pics of it when i get the chance, Im not gonna lie tho its a bit of a dog in comparison to all your fine examples. I got mine in a straight swap for a 78 p-bass, To this day I'm not sure weather it was the best or worst thing I ever did.
  17. Boss TU-2 is industry standard for a reason
  18. Put me on the maybe pile, I can bring some gear too if you want. I have :- 1972 Gibson Grabber Jap non-export 60s Reissue Jazz with Shed pickups a badass and a terrible home relic effort. Peavey T-40 (Peavey's first effort of mass production bass, Two phat old humbuckers, ash body with maple neck, coil tap, heavey weight but interesting, the neck was made on a machine designed for making Rifle butts ) Fender mongrel P-bass (US body with mex neck, custom powder blue finish, Delano pickup, straight through wireing) may have an Aria Pro II SB II Elite by then too. Ampeg SVT Classic Ampeg SVT 8x10 E Sans-amp programmable BDDI I like to show off, I know its nothing particularly special but I do love my basses.
  19. yup, it'll completely transform the bass too, I have one on my jazz which is modded to hell and the badass is easily my favorite mod. obviously though if your p is string thru it wont be any more

    8x10s

    Nah i like my 8x10, i was tempted by a 6 but then i found my Ampeg second hand and it just had to be done. its power handling is fine too, it just feels asif it could have a little bit more of something, then it would be perfect, Im not even sure what that something is. Can anyone recommend speakers to upgrade to? baring in mind it needs to stay a 4ohm cab and i like my tone vintage dirrrty and warm.

  23. I find Watford Valves to be the best. they test tubes in a ridiculous ammount of ways and you can garauntee fast freindly service.
