  1. I'm considering a few options for a passive J style bass one of which is the EMG BQC control. This has a stacked Bass/Treble and stacked mid control pots leaving me one spare hole for volume and pickup blend For such a volume/blend stack what is a suitable pot (does one bit need to be logarythmic and the other linear - values etc.?) and how should it be wired up? All help welcome!
  2. There was a 5er on evil bay just recently http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item2ec085674b&item=200798463819&nma=true&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&rt=nc&si=54g%252FOS%252B2CBpi4yeoxQ6bgzGVd1U%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Hope that helps. I was in contact with the guy and although the listing is finished he was happy to deal off line.
  3. [quote name='Dave Vader' timestamp='1343992383' post='1758281'] ... The scratches down the back of my SG came from shoving it into a gap behind my acoustic (doh, stap button), most of the dings on my instruments comes from standing up from my chair and knocking them against the table. The bent tuner on my rickenbastard is from whacking the headstock against a shelf in the studio by mistake. The bent pot on my fretless is from it dropping into the table leg as I reached across for a mandolin... [/quote] Does this mean we should be wary about buying basses from you
  4. How close to the wall were the cans, you can get some weird cancellation effects sometimes.
  5. With the cabs and amp plus some pedals etc must be knocking on £1500 (replacement cost).
  6. Saw Maiden in Machester last year and have to say I was completely underwhelmed I remember seeing their tour supporting Kiss in the 70's and that was excellent.
  7. I can't help feeling that £425 for the 320 is optimistic in the extreme and the 310 was going for £350 which also seemed a little over the top. Not that I particularly interested in buying them, I was just curious about the subject and sort of stumbled across your post Happy Jack.
  8. I had some Wizzard 84's into one and they sound pretty good, slightly darker/bassier than the std fit tiems.
  9. I've asked for the serial number of the snot green one but not forthcoming yet.
  10. I don't know if anyone else say this on evilbay recently, but the s/n looks like a 1999 MIJ bass which doesn't chime well with the ear posts. Here's some pics from the ebay listing. Is this the real thing as it looks like it's in beautiful condition. [attachment=114834:Bass Collection SB310 01.jpg] [attachment=114835:Bass Collection SB310 02.jpg]
  11. [quote name='andyonbass' timestamp='1343851600' post='1756425'] Do you know if the controls can be separated from the plate and surface mounted directly onto a bass body? [/quote] Sadly not, I check with ACG. I would have had other plans for it were this the case as it's a superb pre-amp.
  12. Tascam BT (MP3 type thingy) with Audio Technica cans.
  13. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1343764975' post='1754978'] or maybe it's just that when they do loads of them don't fit on my bass! While you're about it.... and people are reading, remind me what preamp you've got for sale? [/quote] This one...

  14. Alan at ACG is building a modified Jazz for me for less than £2k and it will hopefully be exactly what I want for only a few hundred £s more than a hit or miss Fender.
  15. Following on from the P/MM post, Is it possible to rewire a bass with a Jazz p/up (neck position) and an MM p/up (bridge position) such that with a suitable 5-way rotary switch, and treating the bass as 3 single coil p/ups (is an MM the same as a humbucker in this respect?), can give you the following options: Bridge single coil Bridge Humbucker Middle single coil Mid/Neck Humbucker Neck single coil Any thoughts, wiring diagrams, switch suggestions etc welcome!
  16. My personal favs are the TI JF344s but for half the price I think the Fender 9050 CLs are really good too. I've not noticed any significant wear from flats yet (my longest serving f/l was in my possession for around 3 years strung with flats).
  17. Just acquired a set of Dunlop straplocks from Den. Great service, plenty of PMs, quality guy.
  18. Just sold John by EMG BTC Control. Seemless transaction, quick payment and plenty of PMs. Sound guy, thanks John.
  19. Just sold Mike some straplocks. Quick payment, plenty of PMs, good guy. Deal in confidence.
