[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1338576730' post='1676778'] Interesting, I've got the same bass as you and I tend to favour the treble being boosted to help cut through and get a bit of string noise in there. The 5khz boost also helps with that a lot. Mind you, it could be down to the amp as to how much you need to boost what on the bass. I played through a 1987 Laney Linebacker and I didn't need as much high end boost as I do with my Ashdown 220 Touring. [/quote] Each to his/her own I suppose maybe it's also to do with the style of music in the band I play with, just needs a little bit more bottom end I feel. Fretless sale just fell through too (not a person from on here I don't think), so marginally hacked off as I had just sold the Audere pre I was using which was rather groovy. On the up side I've acquired an ACG EQ02 on a Jazz plate to slot in to get used to whilst waiting for my ACG bass to be built.

+1 to the above. I am enjoying the lighter gauge strings on my fretless. They're TI JF344s iirc.

I generally run my amp EQ pretty flat and then for the Overwater I use a little bit of bass boost with the p/up sweep biassed towards the neck p/up. My new ACG will have the ACG EQ03 5K system which I'm really looking forward to playing with.

[quote name='Doctor J' timestamp='1338447970' post='1674594'] Another Classic Rock victim here. Waiting is the hardest part. [/quote] +1 Does it look like the Rickenbacker is making a comeback or is that just for the vid I wonder?

Just sold Phil an ODB-3 pedal. Excellent comms, quick payment, very easy transaction. Thanks again Phil.

For the 50% of us who enjoy Rush here's a link to a track from the forthcoming CD. Check the bass on this, how does he do that and sing simulataneously [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcFGrWjOX0E"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcFGrWjOX0E[/url]

SOLD Audere Z-mode Jazz Preamp
ead replied to ead's topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
Well thanks, good to hear from you! I hope you're prospering too! It's a cracking little amp and the Z mode switch is pretty cool. With everything set flat it's remarkably like a passive bass...Happy to consider offers too! -
Bump for a small price adjustment

For sale is an JZ3 Audere on-board preamp. It has the most popular 3-band EQ option and the Z mode switch all mounted on a Jazz plate that fits straight onto existing Jazz basses. Here's the link to the [url="http://www.audereaudio.com/Scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=7"]Audere[/url] website. It comes with its original box, installation instructions and packaging plus the spare unused crimp and heat shrink for the earth connections. All the terminals are screw type so no soldering is required. Thanks for looking.

I'm selling my Boss ODB-3 pedal. It has led a very sheltered life living in my Boss pedal board/case and is going to make way for a new purchase as Mrs ead has a strict 'one-in-one-out' policy that apparently applies to effects as well as basses. I can absolutely guarantee that no fluids have been spilt on it It's in excellent condition as the pictures show. There is one tiny chip that I hope shows up, other than that it is pretty much like new. The original box is in excellent condition and includes the original manual etc. If you'd like more pics of any aspect please just ask. Thanks for looking!

Just acquired an Aguilar TLC from Mick. Great to deal with, very smooth transaction and plenty of messages etc. Item exactly as described. Highly recommended.

Just sold my Hartke Bass Attack to Jon. Excellent comms throughout, quick payment. Seems to be a very dependable person. Enjoy the pedal, I hope it does the job for you.
-
Brilliant work, thanks very much to all the techies who understand this stuff. It's a black art to me although I can do RPN on on old style HP calculator! p.s. I'm liking the CTRL F5 thing, must try to remember that one.

Sold pending the usual heads of agreement, searches and contracts.

This pedal is for sale as it gets very little use as I now DI out the back of my amp if I need to. Hopefully the images show the great condition of the pedal. The original packaging is in pretty good shape and the original instruction manual is also included.

I'm a subscriber and will continue to be one as for me there are are more pluses than minuses. Hoever like most commercial things the mag will stand or fall on it's sales and advertising revenue. If the circulation drops then advertisers will be less interested etc and the vicious circle begins. If the readership want change they should write to the editor in a constructive way and eventually, if there is a body of opinion, I'm sure changes would be made. I do think that there should be more reviews of basses people can actually afford and more "group tests". More fretless stuff too. I quite enjoy the few pages on bands that I've not hear of, the Barefaced column and the woodshop interviews. I'm actually less bothered about the bass establishment interviews as it seems to me not much new comes out each time.

[quote name='NeilMorrell' timestamp='1336185465' post='1642301'] Are any other Contemporary J users having issuses with exceptoonally noisy actives (almost like something is breaking down) or is it just me. [/quote] Sorry to hear that. Not noticed this on my bass. The only issues I have found after about a year of use are that the frets on the G string side of the 'board were a teeny bit proud and the jack socket seems to prefer straight jack leads, my OBBM sourced right angled jack sometimes needs a little wiggle?

I fitted a P Retro to my MIM Precision, different bass for sure but plenty of room. Very impressive piece of kit, I particularly enjoyed the additional control over the mids.
-
Just fitted a JZ3 to my Fender fretless. Still noodling and fiddling with the settings but overall very impressed. Re the OP I've found that with the Z-mode switch to Low (pointing to the neck), and treble wound off a bit, mids neutral or backed off a bit and the balance about 30% towards the neck pickup delivers a pretty sweet and smooth tone. Maybe the fretlessness and flats helps though...Not where I'll be leaving it but one of the things I tried out.
