ead Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Just picked this up from EvilBay (from a guy who turned out to be a real star and definitely a seller I would buy from again of anything turned up that interested me). I have been wanting to own one of these for a while but always seem to either miss out or not have the funds at the moment when they appear. This one was originally Sea Foam Green but was re-finished by the owner in Lava Red. He has had it from new so I am in effect the second owner. Overall in great condition for a bass that has been used regularly over it's life. At some point it might need a new harness but everything else seems spot on. Will do some better pics in due course.

karlfer Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Fantastic basses, I was going to have a go at that one but the refin stopped me Alain. Enjoy, very jealous 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy, very jealous 😁 Unlike you, I have no shame Karl. The refin is actually better than described in the listing. It is starting to rub off in places but I'm not particularly bothered about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one doesn't feel greatly different to the neck on my Sandberg TT. Pretty slim basically, not quite Jazz bass but pretty close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) 40mm nut & slimmer back to front compared to the 44 mm Attitude LTD. Alain, Richie Thomson in Wigan has a sratchplate template for one of these, he did a fabulous brown tortie for me some years ago. Just in case 🙂 edit, I forgot, I sprayed the woofer cover black.

karlfer Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Regarding harness if you do replace it, it might be worth considering a stack pot for the P pup. With it being woofer vol tone, but only volume for the P I always felt I was missing bit of potential on mine (stupidly long gone). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still messing around with control combinations. I've noticed that the impact of the tone on the mudbucker seems more limited compared to say a P bass tone control. How did you run the settings?

karlfer Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Mainly P on full all the time & dialing woofer in for more bottom end when needed. Bit of a faff often needing to dial stuff in-between songs, but worth it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
