  3. Just received Andy's Bongo and it's fabulous! As described, speedy delivery and well packed. Absolute pleasure doing business. Hope the Ishibashi purchase works out! Regards Rich

  5. [quote name='AndyTravis' post='652503' date='Nov 12 2009, 11:59 AM']Hi folks, Has anyone used Ishibashi Music in Japan before? I've spotted a used precision on there, and i've emailed them to take it further. I was really just wondering how people got on with them, the process of waiting, being stung for import duty etc. I did email them last year, but the bass i'd seen was sold, so didn't get much further. Fingers crossed this time. Any wise words? Andy[/quote] Have you seen the pinned 'Importing Guitars' thread in 'Bass Guitars'? Rich

    [quote name='bassatnight' post='590005' date='Sep 4 2009, 06:38 PM']Anyone tried the bottom of the range? the 44-01? its meant to be a good all rounder for the price? Thinking of investing and I can't stretch to a grand plus![/quote] I have and it was good in a passive way, but for the same price as a newbie 44-01 you can pick up a mint 44-02 which is just that bit extra. Got mine from Josh on here and it is superb. Regards Rich

    [quote name='andy.' post='585289' date='Aug 30 2009, 06:26 PM']I would prefer a passive bass because i have an active one but the fact that you can get more tones out of the 4-94 is tempting. What is the JO like when you really pluck hard? Is there any clipping?[/quote] IME, not that much different to a JB from the big F.

    Very similar, as in I can't tell the difference (both seem to be same widths and profiles at nut and 12th).

    How's about a 44-02? Got a DJ, JO and 44-02. A/Bd 44-94 and 44-02 and had a very hard time justifying the price difference between them. Tone/sound and general fit and finish was so close, confident I'd made the right choice of a 44-02 and saved myself enough for a decent Japanese JB too... Love the JO and the DJ (both Skylines BTW) and both have their place, but ultimately the 44-02 is that bit more versatile and it's the one I'd go for if the house was on fire! Regards Rich Edit! - ultimately, try before you buy (if you can!)
  11. Try the seymour duncan link below. You're gonna need to have some form of switching (I'd guess), so you'll have to add another pot to the PB, unless you go stacked (if you can get them/afford them!)

  12. Check out Talkbass first. 'Mixed' reviews..... [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=558315&highlight=soares"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.p...ighlight=soares[/url] Forgot to add, check out the use of nails - genius!
  13. This is just like torture.... Cannot believe this is still here.... If anyone is thinking about buying this bass, it will not disappoint! Have a bump on me if only so I can sleep at night! Rich
  14. How's about Moon? The one I tried was a lovely alternative to the Big F.
