Surely there are other factors at work here too though... the total number of puns, coefficient Ptot, and their funniness, variable xJCarr where {JCarr=not funny} is an unvarying constant.

But don't eat all the cheese scones before I get one, or I'll give you a slap.

Don't make any more puns please. The moment's scone.

Hi Paul, Welcome to the forum and hell yes what an absolute bargain. The CHB-1 is one of my favourite basses and I'd love to have one, especially at that price!

Brum On Feel The Noize - Slade

If we assume that active controls go from +10 to -10, then my main basses are as follows Shuker: bass +2, mids 0, treble 0 Sire V7: bass +3, mids 0, treble +1 Ska bass: bass +4, treble -3 Thunder 1A: bass +2, treble +1, pickup in series mode

Hair on the G String - JS Bach, arr. August Wilhelmj

Well thanks a bunch you lot. Now you've got me fleaBay-searching for 'light weight power amplifier'

Rubber Bullets - 10cc

Saturday Night Fish Fry - Louis Jordan

Can you post a pic of it? I was about to recommend one but then it occurred to me that it might be the one you already have.

Watts The Frequency Kenneth? - REM

Feel Like Jumping - Marcia Griffiths

I would, if it makes the right sound (see above re: my Schaller). If you get one, drop it in and then decide against it, or change it further down the line, you can sell it on probably for what you paid for it (assuming you get it used).

I had cheapáss J pickups in my similarly cheapáss ska bass, they were errrrrrm okaaay I suppose... found I was using only the neck one, then remembered that I had a hot Schaller J neck one in the spares box so I fitted that. It was like the difference between very chalky chalk and extremely cheesy cheese. You would never have dreamed that they were both basically magnets with bits of wire wrapped round them. And I don't just mean in terms of loudness (the stock one was 6-7K, the Schaller is 13), the tone was different too. The stock one sounded like a normal J, but the Schaller is more like a slightly compressed P but really really aggressive. Not necessarily better but different. Perfect for my needs. So my longwinded answer to the OP is hell yes it makes a difference.

Apologies, it turns out the one I had was the plain Trakmaster, not the Pro. This is a screen grab of the manual section of the Trakmaster. Apologies for the poor quality.
