    [quote name='jono b' post='170452' date='Apr 5 2008, 09:16 PM']What model Jazz pickups?[/quote] Hi, I've listed them here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16793"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=16793[/url] Cheers, Phil.

    Morning Folks, I've been having a bit of a sort out and appear to have amassed some pickups I don't really need so I thought I'd post them on here: Firstly I have a Seymour Duncan Jazz bass set, which involves a vintage SJB-1n neck pup and a hot SJB-2b bridge pup which complement each other perfectly. Here's the details: [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/basslines/vintage-1/sjb1_vintage_fo/"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/bass...jb1_vintage_fo/[/url] [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/basslines/progressive-1/sjb2_hot_for_ja/"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/bass...jb2_hot_for_ja/[/url] I believe these pickups retail for around £50 each, they have been used, and therefore have some light scratches on the covers so I'm looking for £50 for the pair including postage. Rest assured they are in full working order and will come shipped in original packaging with screws and little rubber bits! I also have a set of pickups from a Japanese Jazz bass that are sitting around doing nothing. I think they're probably of a similar standard to MIM pups, if not slightly better. £22 for the pair including postage. 1998 Fender mexican precision bass pickup also going spare, good condition with no pick marks on the surface. £14 posted. I live in Swindon so people can collect if preferred, paypal/cash/cheques accepted. Make me an offer! Cheers, Phil.

    [quote name='BassBunny' post='160191' date='Mar 19 2008, 12:14 PM']Chris, That was MY choice. I am not that keen on Neo's, (Nor is Bill F apparently and he doesn't suggest using Neo's in the Omni 10). I find them a bit too mid-biased. In the end I have what I want, which is a lightweight set-up but a degree of warmth to the bottom end. Don't get me wrong, it can chuck out the mids with the best of them, but does not have a mid bias. Mike's intention was to use Neo's in his design, but after hearing the result of this particular set-up, he may have second thoughts. That said, if you want them, you can have them. I chose not too, just personal preference. They are rated at 350W RMS per Cab into 8 Ohms, (I think that is a conservative estimate as the drivers are capable of handling 500W RMS). Price wise, speak to Mike but he assures me these were made for me at a price he could sustain which is £259 and £225 depending on with/without a tweeter.[/quote] These cabs sound interesting, do they have a website?

    Any offers, anyone?!

    EXL165's for me, I occasionally get a pack of pro-steels, but they're lacking a bit of mid punch compared to the nickels. I've tried Ernie Ball hybrids, DR lo riders & hi beams, GHS, LaBella, Rotosound Steels and Elites over the years but I keep coming back to D'Addarios. Although I've just put a set of Dean Markley Blue Nickels on my Lakland that I picked up in San Francisco for $17, they seem really good too thus far.

    Judging from the studio photos Chris has quite a few basses to choose from; Thunderbird, Rick, a P and a J! Both times I've seen them he's been using a T-Bird though. It is a shame that Michael left, I saw them late last year at Brookes in Oxford and they were nowhere near as magic as they were previously in Bristol. It seemed like they'd hurriedly found a drummer and auxiliary guitarist in order to meet the touring commitments. I do think part of the charm was the three of them together, and Michaels drumming was superb. He does play on the new album though, hopefully they'll find a suitable replacement.

    Morning Folks, I have a pickup from a 1998 Fender mexican precision bass going spare, good condition with no pick marks on the surface. Will come boxed in Seymour Duncan packaging with new screws and wiring diagram. I'm not sure how much to ask for this so I'll say £16 including postage but feel free to make me an offer. Thanks, Phil.

    Tool, Lamb, Dead Meadow and Owen CD's all now sold. So, anyone want some obscure US punk CD's then?!
  13. flip
    ha ha, to be honest most of them are wilfully obscure punk bands! I'm surprised people haven't heard of Lamb though: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_%28band%29"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamb_%28band%29[/url] 10,000 Days has most definitely been sold, I'm musing over parting with Lateralus now too, I only really got on with Undertow and Aenima....

    Hey, I needed to clear out some space in the CD rack so I thought I'd try to sell a few albums. All are in mint condition and haven't actually left the case more than a couple of times.... Wilco - Sky Blue Sky (new) £6 inc postage. Tool - 10,000 days [b]SOLD[/b] Armor For Sleep - What To Do When You Are Dead (with 'making of' DVD) Heavens - Patent Pending (Alkaline Trio side project) Lamb - Best Kept Secrets [b]SOLD[/b] No Use For A Name - More Betterness Mo Motiv - Diagram for Healing Strung Out - An American Paradox Dead Meadow - Howls From The Hills (still sealed) [b]SOLD[/b] Grade - Under The Radar Owen - At Home With...

    I really want to try one out but haven't actually found a shop stocking them as yet, I was tempted to just order one unseen but I'd prefer to physically try it first due to lower back issues!
  17. flip
    Yeah, I love them too! There's something reassuring about the simplicity and that thick neck. I have a Lakland Glaub Skyline that plays and sounds amazing, I just wish it were a little lighter. But I shall keep searching for that elusive superlight p-bass! Is that the white squier VM p-bass you have?
  18. flip
    I think it depends more on the wood than the actual model of bass. I'd love a p-bass that weighed as little as my MIJ jazz. As it is my Lakland Skyline Glaub definitely weighs more, and my old Mexican Precision was easily the heaviest of the bunch! What do the Highway One P's weigh in at then?

    I was at the Bristol gig too, absolutely superb. Definitely one of my favourite bands of recent times...

    [quote name='EdwardHimself' post='130454' date='Jan 30 2008, 09:12 AM']to be honest i think your just being a bit grumpy and old. I think you just like old music better so no matter how good something new sounds, you just won't want to listen to it.[/quote] As I said on the previous thread, just because it's not handed to you on a plate doesn't mean it's not out there. I find I'm still as excited about new music as I was 10 years ago, there's so many new bands and albums out there that I find inspiring regarding both songs and bass playing.

    [quote name='Bass_In_Yer_Face' post='127865' date='Jan 25 2008, 04:45 PM']Any Suggestions?...I'm all ears[/quote] I tend to agree with Toasted, just because they're not on MTV doesn't mean they don't exist. I've always found that the most inspirational music had to be found rather than being handed to you on a plate, but maybe that's just me. I listed a few earlier, but in case you missed them here's an expanded list; Kings Of Leon, Bloc Party, Biffy Clyro, Against Me!, Muse, Dillinger Escape Plan, We Are Scientists, Minus The Bear, Rancid, Alkaline Trio, Hot Water Music, The Dismemberment Plan, Six Going On Seven, At The Drive-In, The Matches, Bad Religion, Les Savy Fav, Constantines, Mastodon, Fireside, Sick Of It All, Billy Talent, These Arms Are Snakes, Rise Against... I guess it's entirely subjective but I think this thread has got a bit mixed up between bassists with swagger and attitude as originally listed and bassists with chops. I'm still trying to work out where The Fratellis, The View, The Feeling and 3 Doors Down fit into the equation...
  22. flip
    Kings Of Leon, Bloc Party, Biffy Clyro, Against Me!, Muse, Dillinger Escape Plan and We Are Scientists are all bands who've been featured heavily in the music press of late and they all seem to have bass players with a bit of that aforementioned swagger and some nice lines to boot. But The Fratellis and The View? each to their own, but I don't hear anything inspiring in the lumpen pub rock I've been exposed to by those bands thus far! And like it or not, Pete Wentz has probably brought a fair bit of attention to our fair instrument of late, although I can imagine the disappointment on the faces of thousands of budding teenage bassplayers when they realise that you actually have to learn to play it rather than just jumping around busting scissorkicks and hitting it with a plectrum...

    [quote name='Wil' post='125652' date='Jan 22 2008, 07:05 PM']Good enough for Fat Mike, good enough for me [/quote] Damn right, I read that he started playing them after having back issues from his Fenders. He gets a great tone out of those Danelectros! I quite fancy a red one actually, although you have to take the neck off to adjust the relief which would be a pain... I think I'll drop JHS a line to see when/how much etc.

    I believe Karl Alvarez always plays fingerstyle, I read something about the fact he kept dropping plectrums so he just decided to use his fingers instead! I think he used a Stingray on my favourite Decendents album (Everything Sucks) but tends to use Fender basses now. Great player...
