[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1381606493' post='2241414'] Hi is the neck on this a really chunky neck or just a nice handful ooer that sounds so wrong lol [/quote] it's kind of... personal, I suppose It's not very chunky, but it's no Jazz. I've tried Precision basses that had necks similar to this one. Most Precisions would be chunkier. I used to have a Squier CV60s Precision, fiesta red, that I sold in a moment of delirium. It had a really nice neck (for me) and this one is not too far from that one, I'd say. So... it's not chunky at all, but it's not a slim Jazz bass neck. Thinner profile than a Precision or Stingray, for the most part.

Science? Marketing? Or just a load of old Bollock?
mcnach replied to xilddx's topic in General Discussion
My luthier friend does that... taps different woods etc and uses that to choose which to use for a top on what guitar etc. He builds acoustic instruments. I spent enough time being shown these things to realise that it makes a difference.... in an acoustic instrument. In an electric guitar or bass? I'm not so sure. There are other factors that influence sound a lot more on electric instruments. So, answering the question in the title, I'd say "a load of all bollocks" edit: I'm talking specifically about the "ah, I tap here, it's higher, then I'll match it with this body and not that other body". I'm not arguing that all bodies and all necks will sound the same. They don't. They're variable. I just don't think you can predict the outcome the way the Fender guy seems to believe. -

Steve sold me his EBS Octabass. Very friendly, great communication, fast delivery... Perfect. Oh, and the pedal is great and in really good condition too Thanks Steve!

I bought Vince's VT-Bass pedal. Friendly communication and really fast delivery, could not be happier. The pedal is in fantastic condition too. Thank's Vince!

Used Seymour Duncan preamp, 3-band, their Stingray model. STC-3M4. 4 knobs + output jack, plus battery connector (battery connector not in the picture). Bass, Mids, Treble and Volume. The volume knob is a push/pull which engages the "slap circuitry", essentially boost on lows and treble. I believe there is a trim pot to adjust the boost. I bought it here from another forum member but the project will not materialise, so... here it goes again

[quote name='Ashborygirl' timestamp='1381517731' post='2240288'] Another sale thread asking more for a secondhand bass than a new one goes for. [/quote] This would be relevant if you could buy a new 1961 Fender Jazz in 2013... Whether you think the asking price is reasonable is another matter entirely, and we are all entitled to our opinions. Some would argue a 2013 Jazz is superior

[quote name='johnbassman' timestamp='1381514261' post='2240214'] Hmm, does this fit a proper ray i wonder? [/quote] It does. The EBMM SUB (2003-2006) and the EBMM Stingray use the same design. The SUB where this pickguard came from now sports a genuine EBMM Stingray pickguard. They are interchangeable.

[i]EDIT: I would trade it for an Aguilar Filter Twin pedal[/i] **price includes delivery** This is quite a thick overdrive pedal. It has two channels, so you can easily have two levels of distortion available from the two footswitches... that's one of the main reasons I bought it. I have used it for... maybe 2 years? Eventually I have moved on from this sound and I find I am no longer using it... Time to let it go. Pedal in great condition. I am not sure the Youtube videos make it justice, but it'll give you an idea of the general character of this pedal: [media]http://youtu.be/E8u_OcH4MUQ[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/UdGSmZlP21g[/media]

[b]EDIT: withdrawn. It's too good to sell [/b] This is the very first version of the Danelectro Transparent Overdrive, that was based on Paul Cochrane's Timmy overdrive, apparently. You can check online, lots of videos and discussion about this, and the reason many suspect the v2 of the Danelectro pedal came out so quickly with a slightly different sound. I don't really know... What I know: Transparent Overdrive is a good way to call this pedal. It really is transparent. It is designed for guitar, where it excels, but works really well on bass. It has a dual band EQ, which makes it really easy to adjust the tone to have just however much bottom end you want.. Low gain to pretty high gain sounds. At its lowest setting, there is no distortion. I bought this to have a bit of clean boost and very very low gain sounds. It works pretty well. Metal casing, blue led. BLUE LED!!! Everybody knows the best pedals have a blue led It has a bit of velcro on the bottom, really good condition.
