Bump!

Sunday Bumpage!....offers welcome folks!

No longer for sale

Sorry....!

If your moving on to flats for the first time try the GHS Brite flats....really great sounding strings, picked up the light gauge recently (45-98) they sound great on my MIJ '62 reissue P..

Ended up using them on the majority of an album session I was on at the weekend, you get the nice warm thump on the E but keep the brightness on the D and G...comes across very well indeed!

It was withdrawn. However I actually ended up selling it to Dave (LowRegisterHead) just this afternoon!

...pointless 'best of the bin' exercise!

Does it come with a case?

D

+1 I have the trad in my non ex Jap '62 P and it just sounds heavenly! pure vintage tone!

Also have 64's in my Jazz bass which sound fantastic, back pickup is burpy but still nice and smooth, neck pickup is as deep as anything!

L-R: Fretless Warwick Thumb (currently unstrung)! 1989/90 MIJ Fender Precision '62 reissue (non export), '93 Musicman Stingray, Sei Jazz 5er, MiM Fender Jazz Deluxe (Wizard 64's and Audere JZ3D pre)

Double Bass wouldn't fit......!

Withdrawn due to lack of interest

Lovely bass solo at about 7mins 30..... really nice musical phrases....

is Tony Grey the bass player? I haven't heard/seen him before.....it's nice.

[quote]I need a good bass, good strings, and my brain. That is all. I've been playing, not talking, and I have found out that all I need is a decent bass. There is little difference between any of the basses I have had, only practical things. Playing and thinking about music has shown me that any decent bass will do. I've talked about bass far too long. When you actually PLAY, you start getting a more real connection with yourself, and the instrument itself becomes less and less important. Your LIFE is what is important. Live it and you will speak though your bass.[/quote]

+1000!!

couldn't have said it better myself......

Pm'd

price drop bump!!!

All been earthed correctly I believe. I sent it to Terry Chapman to have it checked and done properly. Unfortunately he couldn't offer much advice.

To be honest this has been a stress for me since the day I fitted it....I'm starting to consider selling it and getting another pre.....or perhaps selling the wizards and getting some Nordstrand humbucking J's

D

interesting, I hadn't thought of that...

The preamp has a toggle switch for the different 'Z modes'. would this be classed as something that routes the signals?

D

I know I have posted my ongoing problems with this in the past but I have one more!!

Ever since I installed an Audere JZ3D pre into my Jazz deluxe bass I have a terrible hum whenever the Wizard 64 pickups are solo'd.

I know that the pickups are passive and therefore single coil but this is much louder than a regular single coil hum. It also gets much worse when you touch the pickup.

It doesn't appear to be a problem with the pre as there is no hum directly from the pre amp (with the pickup wires removed).

I spoke to Andy at Wizard today and his only real suggestion was to post up a query on here to see if anyone has had a similar problem and effectively fixed it?!

I have had the bass fully shielded inside, this has slightly improved the problem I think, but at the moment it is un-giggable. Which is a massive shame as it sounds great (behind the hum). The Wizards are also perfect for what I need, they sounded top notch when used with the Fender Pre, but I don't want to go back to that....

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Dave

The part of the bridge that the string sits on can be screwed side to side giving you a good mm option either way
