  1. Cheers guys - I'm truly gobsmacked how good it sounds! It's definitely a keeper for sure.
  2. So I've always had a preference to playing a Jazz Bass since my late teens, but over the years I've often been tempted by (and owned one or two) a nice P Bass, despite however many I've tried, I've never really been happy with them when gigging as I've found more often than not they get lost in the mix? So I thought I'd gotten to grips with the dreaded GAS, but here's my latest, self build P Bass. Warmoth Standard P Body, Mighty Mite P neck with Fender waterslide decal, Fender tuners with extender, Badass II bridge, DiMarzio P pickups (had these laying around for a while waiting for a project), CTS pots, Switchcraft jack, Rotosound RS66LD 45 - 105, Dunlop Straplocks. This was my first self build project, I gigged it last night and it sounded way better than I thought it would, I'd expected to play maybe a handful of songs with it and then reach for my trusty Jazz, but it was an absolute gem to play and certainly didn't sound muddy - although with the tone control wound off it certainly can. I did have to fettle around with the nut - needed quite a bit of filing to get the action to a decent level, but on the whole the set up was quite straight forward and certainly worth it. Definitely re-kindled my interest in P's now.
  3. Just bought a Badass II from Alan - another straightforward deal!
  4. Just bought a P Bass neck from Mart - straightforward speedy transaction - cool!

What do you make of the Duality? That's next on my wish list.
  6. Just bought Steve's Sovtek Muff - totally hassle free/very speedy experience - an absolute gent to deal with - thanks Steve!
  7. [quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1396794580' post='2417387'] Made a couple of changes this weekend; changed out some dirt in the lower left corner (Solid Gold FX is new, Cusack Screamer Bass replaced a Wampler Euphoria in the Wonderlove loop) and swapped places on the Suhr Buffer (now first) and [sfx] Micro Thumpinator (now last). [/quote] Nice tidy board dude - looks good.
  8. Just got an e-mail, they're showing 6 in stock today! Think I'll pass.
  9. Just bought a pedal off of Dan - pedal was exactly as described (as new), speedy delivery too! A pleasure to deal with - cheers Dan!
  10. I can feel another fund raising mission coming on, nice & local too. Must resist ...
  11. How about the Aguilar Filter Twin? That's been my go to filter for quite a while - I find it really user friendly.
  12. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1394616501' post='2393262'] They're much more likely to be thinking, 'Wow, that bloke really needs to get to the gym. Hide the buns!' [/quote] Hey! I resemble that remark!
  13. Just bought a Wren & Cuff TFR from Paulo - a pleasure to deal with - top man! Thanks

  16. Hi Keith, I'd be interested in the set-up class as well please.
  17. Just wanted to say a big thanks to Keith and the kind folk that organised the event - was a very enjoyable afternoon and nice to meet up with some like minded souls.
  18. [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1392995346' post='2375084'] He can only say "[s]feck off "[/s] "yes or no", so I'd go for it....looking at his website and speaking to him he seems quite friendly! [/quote] Excellent! I wouldn't expect him to do owt for nowt. Let's just hope Mrs Thor doesn't throw a spanner in the works!
  19. I'm hoping I should be able to make it, was thinking of bringing my Aggie gear, maybe some effects (?) and a Jazz Bass or two, and if anyone was interested I could always bring the Ri*k? Do you think the gentleman from Crimson Guitars would be okay/willing to take a look at a '69 Jazz Bass I've recently acquired? I'm not looking for him to set it up (I've got it playing much more to how I like it), although I have a minor concern regarding the nut and was looking for a bit of advice - or is that too cheeky to expect?
  20. Hi All, I have an East J Retro 01 Preamp for sale, it's the chrome version in minty fresh condition, boxed with instructions. I had this fitted to a Roadworn that has since sold. £110.00 posted to mainland UK, shout if you want pics. SOLD!
  21. Just bought a '69 Jazz Bass from Gareth, an absolute gent to deal with and would definitely recommend/ buy from again.
