It`s funny but recently I`ve arranged a few parcels via Parcelforce directly and they`ve been cheaper than going via Interparcel/Parcel2go etc, whereas a few years back it was def the other way round.
Looks great, and I think those eq points are pretty well thought out, maybe treble a bit high but imo all a fair bit more useable than how they used to be. The stock Markbass sound is one that always seems to fit nicely in a mix.
Sounds fairly typical, I just wonder why, when they can hear it themselves, that they think it sounds ok.
I’m sure Ruts were good though, always put on a good show and are decent chaps, Leigh especially.
Luckily I’ve not seen this type of behaviour at Rebellion.
Probably a combination of it both being indoors and punks & skins being just that little bit more cultured & civilised.
Get stacked knobs so only two knobs rather than three, and get a black control plate made. From a distance it will look more in keeping with the Precision especially if you have the knobs to be where the bridge pickup volume & tone knobs would be on a standard Jazz plate. I wonder if our very own KiOgon could help out on some of this.
If I recall correctly Fender tuners are something like 19:1 in comparison to Hipshots which are about 26:1 - I read this stuff a while back so numbers might be a bit off, but I did replace the stock Fenders on a Mex Precision with Hipshots which are much smoother.
I have to admit I`ve considered that Pete - I had one a couple of years back and asked our very own Gary Mac if he could swap out the frets for medium jumbos as per my others and he said he could easily enough, but I then thinned the herd back so never got round to it.
With this one I`ve similarly considered it, but I`ve just got too many basses - I`ve been through a "buy many to find the right ones" kinda thing. I`ve got there now so am just selling off the ones that didn`t make the grade so to speak.
Yes I`ve got - and am selling - a US Professional, it`s the tall frets that I`m not keen on as well, other than that a really nice bass but those frets........
Tonerider P is a great pickup, sounds very much like the Fender CS62s I have in my US Fenders, putting one in my backup bass this weekend - via a KiOgon loom as my soldering skills are non-existent. Two great recommendations there chaps.
Range is between 21 to about 27. All great "kids" but they all seem so mature & sensible, much more than me anyway.
Which thinking about it isn`t that much of an achievement.
