On the dispute of Octave pedals which has gone on a fair bit during this thread, each track uses my OC-2 set to Octave-1 at full and Octave-2 and dry off (So just a pure Octave down) on all 3 tracks start to finish. Shep[/quote] I really, really enjoyed your sound on the "Get Money!" track. How did you make that bass sound?

[/quote] Brother of a friend mine is making it. Hasn't got any website, but it's basicly based on the Moog LPF.

This is what it's like at the moment: On the way are a Copilot FX Dubscope "Deluxe", Orbit and a TC Electronics tuner. A custom LPF fitted into a expression pedal enclosure is almost ready. Then I might need a normal overdrive or distortion pedal since I haven't got anything like that Oh yeah, might have to upgrade to a Pedaltrain Pro when those pedals arrive...

I know my Jazz cuts through in a rockband, but that's mostly because of the pick-ups: The series/parallel-switch is also very good to get a thicker sound!

My advice would be to order a Sandberg and ask them to wire it passive. They'll do that right away. Something a lot of people don't seem to know is that you can even choose what pick-ups you want in there. For £1000 you could probably have a passive jazz, with the pick-ups you desire, in any color you want AND you just know the quality will be superb. Maybe you could even have a matching headstock or blocks if you fancy that?

Some more pics:

Ah yes,. I believe this was the original scratchplate. Although I was thinking of putting a pearloid black on there, I'm just gonna leave it like that. So, no experience of other scratchplates by me.

I'm just thinking about sexing my VMJ up.....couple of questions 1/ Have you sourced pickguards (scratchplates)? 2/ Where did you get those Fender decals, they look A1? many thanks[/quote] Thanks! 1/ I don't really understand what you mean with that? 2/ The decal was done by a previous owner but a friend of mine knows where to get them, so I'll ask him. I was able to try the bass on my Markbass set today and WOW. The pick-ups are are the most dynamic ones I've ever played. With a soft touch they sound pretty nice, but when you really dig-in they growl like a beast! With the series/parallel-switch engaged it gets a bit of the sound of a P-bass but with a more cutting edge to it. This is probably the best Jazz I've had so far, and the urge for another one with Chi-Sonics is taking me over. Maybe I'll make one with the humbucker...

I don't mind at all. They were a bit less than 180 euro's for a pair. That's shipping and taxes included. We did however bought 6 pairs at once, so the shipping cost was actually equally divided amongst us.(5 people)

Still got some some space for my pedals that are on the way, but I doubt if I'll get everything on there. I need to get a custom LPF (build directly in an expression pedal) and 3 Iron Ether pedals (Oxide Fuzz, Tetravox, Bubble Chamber) on there and I might need an extra expression pedal

I've been through a Qtron, Micro Qtron, Enigma Qballs, Bassballs, Boss AW-3, Digytech Synth wah and now I've settled with the MXR Bass Envelope Filter. The biggest advantage of the MXR is that you're able to dial in the amount of dry and effect separately. That way it has a sound that doesn't disappear when you're playing with a band. Also, there are no harsh volume spikes like with any of the EHX ones or the Source Audio. MXR would be my advice.

To me, a bass will always be a "she". I had a Squier VM like this before and I really like the feeling of the bass. The neck with a satin finish is really nice to play instead of a lacquered neck. The pick-ups are known to sound a bit like Darkstars: very nice lows, enhanced low-mids and audible, but not glassy, highs. Plus they are very dynamic in the way they react to you playing.

About a month ago I managed to find a used Squier VM Jazz Bass. I was thinking a lot about pimping out a cheap passive bass as a back-up for my active Zon. But instead of doing some obvious upgrades I went a little further when I heard someone on our Dutch bass forum was about to order Chi-Sonics. He had already ordered them before directly from Hanson and pays the same amount shops are supposed to. So I decided to order me a set of J-Sonics. Since I'll be going to London to study at the ICMP, I was a little anxious about the time-frame because the pick-ups still had to be build! Yesterday the one who modded my Squier received the pick-ups and now it's closed to finished. I present my Squier Vintage Modified CS: Upgrades include: -Gotoh bridge -CTS pots+series/parallel switch -Sprague orange drop -New control plate -Hanson J-sonics -Fender neckplate+decal, although that was done by the previous owner. -JB knobs I'll be picking her up somewhere next week but he already told me she sounds monstrous!

The Johnston was available in Europe The Fiesta Red is worldwide I think. Don't mind if the "Shaguar" is a UK exclusive, since I'll be studying at the ICMP up-comming year. (I'm from Belgium)

Then why would a Fender rep. suggest such a thing?

Were there other ones than? I know the James Johnston was a Western Europe exclusive, but that's the only domestic-related Squier I heard about...

Someone on TB said that a Fender rep. told him this might be an UK-exclusive Squier!

Very nice sound! Are you using some kind of synth-module? The beginning misses some notes though... I learned it also a few months ago and last week we jammed on it at a jam-night, very nice vibe we got from the audience!
