If it is it will be good - I once had an old heavy first line MB head - it was a silver one, and had a tube compressor in it, and was nice.[/quote] yes it has a real EEC83 in there Read this review, very interesting [url="http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/markbass.shtml"]http://www.ovnilab.com/reviews/markbass.shtml[/url]

Mark Bass Compressore, rack quality in a pedal

I'd like to add that the porting of a cab makes a radical difference in the way you stack them. Don't ask me for the physics behind it, cause I wouldn't have a clue, but a rear ported cab behaves differently if placed on the floor that it would if stacked high. I have experienced completely different lows dispersion effect when I was experimenting. To the best of my knowledge, a rear ported cab is best placed down whereas a front ported one can be either used facing you as a monitor (wedge style) or on top of the lower one. There is a third element in play that might throw you off and that happens when the top cab has a HF horn in the cab, because the frequency you get from it is the first to hit you at ear level, so you tend to hear highs more prominently over lows which again might please some and perhaps bother other players. If that is a problem for you and you can by-pass the horn switching it off, then you are sorted otherwise down it goes below the other cab. All trial and error at the end of the day and different from venue to venue as I've found out.

I have had Barts in a ESP Jazz 400 series. they kicked ass but happened too powerful and meant a departure from the original Jazz gentle sound, I have tried many pickups in many jazz basses including Lollar and Fralin, and I still think that the Seymour Duncan Stacked humbuckers model STK-J1 and STK-J2 have the right formula, besides with 4 conductor wires per each pickup they allow you twice the wiring combinations, from the traditional jazz sounds with the to added option of series/parallel for each pickup and for both together [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/basslines/cutting-edge-1/stkj1_classic_f/"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/bass...tkj1_classic_f/[/url]

Finish crackling by the neck back plate, frets out of their seats from factory... I ask you what is happening to their quality control?

[quote name='MythSte' post='1265586' date='Jun 12 2011, 12:12 AM']Then why are you denying us looking at bassy goodness, concept or otherwise?! [/quote] Well outshined has given you all the links so now you have them anyway, they were not my property in the first place I did say the author is some bloke called Bocete oof the Dingwall forum. Cheers

[quote name='Machines' post='1265414' date='Jun 11 2011, 09:39 PM']Damn it ! I tried looking on my phone earlier and the pics were too big, now I get on a laptop and they're gone, you better PM me some links to them Grand Wazoo .[/quote] I've pm'd them to you.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1265426' date='Jun 11 2011, 09:55 PM']Blimey Batman you don't half fly off the handle sometimes. Unless other posts have been removed, I don't think anyone didn't "get" that these were concept drawings. And I presume the "obnoxious" claim was aimed at me - well I guess I could have described it as "Hey look at me" and "Blingy" but I prefer grown up words. You posted asking for opinions... and you got them. It's a pity you choose not to take the rough with the smooth. [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/bocic.ivan/SuperSR5?feat=directlink#"]Here[/url] you go Machines - they were posted publicly for all to see... not to be rumbled back into a school bag at the sight of the big boys coming. [/quote] no not you at all this prat knows who he is.

For a little over £500 (£532) you can get a lot of bass for your money with a Yamaha BB615, P/J pickups active3 band eq as in this link: [url="http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_details.cfm?ID=560&type=Bass"]http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_deta...0&type=Bass[/url] Guitar

I'v removed all my content from this thread, because while some people did "get it" that it was just an artist impression other have completely missed the point and become really obnoxious about it. Best I keep those sketches to myself.

....

Get the Squier, you said it played well but sounded noisy, well that is not a problem, if it plays well and felt well that is a big bonus, as far as noise and sound are concerned I can give you the lowdown on how to make it sound proper for way less than a grand.

nothing to see here.

at least I wasn't the only one.

[quote name='Nostromo' post='1264441' date='Jun 10 2011, 10:04 PM']I thought the body wood spec was the other way round on these . . . . ie, the spec sheets say the solid colour blue ones are pine and the blonde one is basswood ? . . . . Just a point of clarification ? . . . I could well be wrong ? . . but it might explain the weight findings ? . . . maybe ? . . . . I thought basswood was a light weight wood (propably a hard wood, but I'm sure I've read its light weight ?) ? ? Really lovely bass though . . . really nice [/quote] No my friend if you look at the Squier website it does say (unless they've cocted it up recently) that the LPB is Basswood and the BB is Pine. Model Name Classic Vibe Precision Bass® ’50s Model Number 030-3080-(Color #) Series Classic Vibe Series Colors (502) Lake Placid Blue, (550) Butterscotch Blonde, (Gloss Polyester Finish) Body Basswood on (502), Pine on (550) Yet this Pine one is 1 pound lighter than the basswood one.

[quote name='Johnston' post='1264363' date='Jun 10 2011, 08:37 PM']Why? what have we done to you? [/quote] Nothing at all but you try and post a pencil from UK to N/IRL and end up paying 3 times the value of the pencil. It is ridicolous the amount of money UK post offices charge for parcels to N/I I sent a bass there last year and it was incredibly expensive. So I won't post there no more unless clients are willing to pay the postage.

If anyone is doing a project and wants the wiring loom complete with pots and domed knobs, please pm I only want a a fiver for them. If you want the pickup that will be £25 and I'll take £20 for the machineheads, all prices include free delivery to anywhere in UK excluded N/Ireland Cheers
