[quote name='Kev' post='649877' date='Nov 9 2009, 05:38 PM']scout out a aphex bass exciter for making your low end sound bigger. Can you not boost it with your amp, or an outboard pre?[/quote] Yeah will give that a try, bass exciter seems to be the general consensus. Not getting much more bottom out of the amp unfortunately, will need to try an outboard pre at some point as well.

It's not that its missing, I just want to boost it to try and create a really subby/dancy sound. My current setup is an American Series S-1 Precision, Hiwatt Custom 200 and an Ampeg SVT810E.

I've decided that another couple of effects in my chain are becoming essential (currently I'm only using a modified deuctone rat, one side of which now has no distortion left at all) I'm looking for something to seriously boost my bottom end, was thinking maybe an EQ, not sure though. Also a new distortion is required, I was looking at the EHX Bass Blogger, but again I'm being an indecisive twat. Anybody got any recommendations?

Thanks for the advice guys, still unsure about whether to go for it or not. Have just sold a '78 P-Bass as I wasnt getting on with it, so now have some money to play with, so open to suggestions.

Also what's the most you would pay for this in it's current condition?

I've got the chance to possibly pick up a 60's Burns Sonic, my only issue at the moment is that one of the saddles is missing. Looking at pictures it seems like quite an unusual bridge (then again, to date I've only ever played P-Basses). Just wondering if anybody had any idea how easy it would be to find either a replacement saddle, or a completely new bridge, and the best place to find one. I've never done any major work to any of my instruments yet, so I'm a bit uncertain at the moment. Have attached a photo; [attachment=35740:_1257375718760.jpeg] Any help would be greatly appreciated.
