    That's right.... twas I...! :)
    I've picked up my fretless Wal Mk1 since then.... when's the next bash?

    Tried a Spector Euro LX

    If you keep the amp eq flat and do the rest with the eq on the bass it works fine.... and sounds incredible! :)
    It is a reasonably common complaint though...

    You could always get one and swap out the Tonepump for the standard EMG circuit or EMG BTC controls...? :huh:

    *SOLD* MESA/BOOGIE 1516BE Diesel 450W 4ohm EV cab

    Cheers Ped!

    Yes, it really is a VERY transparent sounding cab. No matter what head you put through it.... it seems to compliment them all! I've heard it with heads by Mesa, Tech 21, Ampeg, SWR, GJ and Trace.... and they ALL sound great. Bold, full & rich whether going for a cutting hi-fi tone or old school flatwound thump.

    It is reasonably heavy.... but easily transportable thanks to the wheels and side-handles. The original EV loaded cabs like this are VERY desirable as the EV's p*ss on the more recent celestion etc replacements....

    I'm VERY surprised noone has snapped this up yet for this price! Must be the time of year, financial restraints etc....

    Ltd Edition Fender Hwy1 P-Bass or CIJ reissue?

    Posted

    Been looking around for a good 70's style reissue P-bass in white & have narrowed it down to the following:


    [b]PB70-78US[/b]
    Crafted in Japan
    Alder
    Maple w/rosewood board
    Vintage US pickups
    Spiral vintage bridge
    Olympic White
    [b]Approx £430[/b] inc all taxes etc from Ishibashi


    or

    [b]Highway One Precision (upgrade) 70's logo etc[/b]
    US made
    Alder
    Maple w/rosewood board
    Vintage US pickups
    'Greasebucket' tone circuit (rolls off highs without adding bass)
    Badass II bridge
    Last one of limited run of 100 in Transparent White
    [b]Approx £625[/b] in all taxes etc from US dealer


    Any thoughts on which would be better, is better value, will hold/gain value etc.....?

    Thanks!

    The bass I'd really like..

    [quote name='lee4' post='95796' date='Nov 28 2007, 08:57 PM']I recently watched some Bass solo vid's on Youtube and I was suprised by how much they did NOT interest me.I feel like a traitor to bass players everywhere.I found I did'nt get off on extra fast shredding,or two hand taps.Slap by Wooten,sorry,not for me.I'm more impressed by a good groove or run in a song.I know that I will get some flak for this but I feel its time to come clean;to me bass is supportive.[/quote]


    Amen to all of that. Couldn't agree more.....

    [quote name='Tee' post='94519' date='Nov 26 2007, 01:26 PM']I was in the bass cellar (Denmark St.) the other day and they have a white/black 70s CIJ for £799 :)

    That's more than i paid new for my USA model :huh:[/quote]

    Yep, they sure know how to price competitively eh? You can save £360 on that by buying direct from Ishibashi...! :huh:
