Bumping! Pics to follow in 36 hours. -
Just got this back after having a full clean-up, setup, entirely new wiring and pickups and some locking Sperzels. Sounds absolutely lovely: [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2014-02-04190330.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/2014-02-04190330.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Bumping! EDIT: For clarity the specs are: 4 Conductor wiring, "F" spaced bridge pickup, long legs (1/2 inch) on neck pickup, short legs (1/4 inch) on bridge (should fit into most Gibsons and Gibson-inspired variants.) I'd also be willing to sell them separately if someone has a H/S/S Strat that could do with a new bridge pickup
-
Also, what's your rehearsal space like? It might sound better than you think if you're in a small room.

I know this is a cliché answer but it may be a case of having to EQ your amp to a tone that sounds a little unpleasant on its on in order to sit in the mix. I love Precisions because you can practically plug and play with them but some basses do require a bit of amp-side tweaking to get the best results.

Bought a Fight Stick off Brett. Good comms, quick dispatch. Would definitely do business with again!

I don't know about the legs as they're still in a guitar and coming out this week. 4 Conductor wiring, "F" spacing. Cheers, Bob

Here are my two current Precisions: Fender US Deluxe Precision Bass V w/ Aguilar OBP3 and Nordstrand NP5: [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/DSCI0006.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/DSCI0006.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Fender Mark Hoppus (2011) with US Standard Precision neck, HMV bridge, Nordstrand NP4, concentric vol/tone with orange drop cap, custom pickguard with the P route in the standard position (moved from the neck back towards the bridge with the second coil flipped the correct way around): [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2013-08-16183238.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/2013-08-16183238.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/BigBassBob/media/2013-08-16183217.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/2013-08-16183217.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

The fuzz is for a handful of songs and for fun. The filter has similar duties but when you run the two together you get some amazing synth tones so I consider these two useful but non-essential gravy.

Bought a set of pickguard blanks from me. Fast payment and good comms. Would happily do business with again!

Hi guys, got a set of used, calibrated BKP Rebel Yells with nickel covers (six string guitar humbuckers.) If you're not familiar with Bare Knuckle Pickups they're handwound The covers could do with a bit of a clean and there's some tasteful wear on them but nothing eye-scarring (some scratches, little dots, doesn't have the same sheen as a new set but still shiny with a polish.) The bridge has plenty of authority with tight, controlled bass and healthy doses of mids and highs. The neck pickup is a little mellower and not as aggressive in its midrange. I'd say they're pretty versatile humbuckers; they can cover hard rock, hair rock and both pickups clean up wonderfully when you dial back the volume controls allowing for some rather sweet blues tones (I've played ska using these pickups to great effect.) More info can be found here: [url="https://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/main/pickups.php?cat=humbuckers&sub=contemporary&pickup=rebel_yell"]https://bareknucklep...ckup=rebel_yell[/url] These are currently sold as a covered set for £235 so I'm asking for [s]£140[/s] [s]£120[/s] [b]£110[/b] posted. Cheers, Bob

Definitely depends on what effects you're using. I find modulation, delay and reverb are passable on a computer. Anything gain based I've used has always sounded better if it's coming from an amp or pedal (in my experience.)

You still rocking the red LEDs?
-
I'm a big fan of Bare Knuckle Pickups (the guitar pickups at least.) I've heard nothing but good things about the Mississippi Queens although I've not used them. Currently have a set of Rebel Yells which I'm trading in for some lower gain Mules.

Loved that video!
-
I've used a handful of different supplies over the years but for the last couple of years I've been using a One Spot with no issues whatsoever.

I've tried it with an active and a passive. Excellent results both time
-
Two actives and two passives. The only active that I have to treat a little differently is my American P V that had an Aguilar OBP 3 in it (big, big output... was clipping my PWNZOR until I turned the input gain down and played a little lighter).
-
Thank you! I have really taken to top-mounted jacks since moving down to a PT Mini. You also have a lovely board
-
The Sub-T is great for those really massive synth tones but again, not quite for me. Definitely keeping it though for future projects and recording purposes (could probably run an old Yamaha keyboard into it for a synthesiser on the cheap).
-
I think my main beef with the Subterranea is that it reacts differently to different basses. That's fine for most pedals, and quite expected but the difference between different basses is too inconsistent; with my P bass everything tracks pretty well down to the D above middle C. On my Stingray the octave tracks quite clean down to about G but the synth voices bottom on the D and G strings =\ I recorded better sounding clip of Higher Ground with similar settings but Soundcloud kept removing it so here's the next best thing: https://soundcloud.com/bigbassbob/youre-doom-superstition
