  1. Most of mine alltogether. [url="https://flic.kr/p/uLjt6w"][/url] CIJ-fretless - 70 P - 73 P- 2009 Jazz- 2009 Roadworn P- 82 Stingray
  2. [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1433957067' post='2795467'] Nice one Don, those RWs are seriously good basses. [/quote] Cheers Lozz, yes they are, beleive the hype They sustain for ever and are so easy to play.. haven't been able to put it down since I got it.
  3. Thanks Guys. Yes, it is a Roadworn.
  4. Been getting more and more into chunky bass necks and been Gassing for a 50's Classic for a while now. I already have 2 early 70's Fender P's that I love, but couldn't resist this on colour weight and also the chunkier neck.. I'd say I got lucky as I managed to pick it up new for a secondhand price as the shop are selling off their Fender gear as their supply contract with them has come to an end. The sad news is it was one in and one out for me so I sold off my CIJ 51 RI. [url="https://flic.kr/p/us24yH"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/upufRm"][/url] [url="https://flic.kr/p/upuc7s"][/url]
  5. Most of the ones I come up with...
  6. [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1433447613' post='2791221'] A very timely review! I'm thinking of getting one of it's more powerful brothers. All the boxes are being ticked so far! [/quote] I can only add that I have more expensive Aguilar and Genz Benz rigs and the Rumble V3 gets the nod for the sound I'm after.
  7. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1433079018' post='2787583'] Me too, even though a certain fail rate is absolutely normal and to be expected. In my experience if you want great build quality, top components, great sound [i]and [/i]reliability, it's never 'affordable'. [/quote] Yes, lets see. I have had mine nearly a year now and it gets about 5 hours use a week.(no problems sos far) Now I have the 210 extension as well I always carry a spare head when I gig if ever the Rumble decides to go tits up.
  8. Serious gas from me for a MiM Classic 50's P Trying to control it. The Roadworn and Classic's I have tried have all been nice. I did have a dog of an early 80's MiM Fender Jazz tho...
  9. Growing uo my Dad played Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond to death on an old reel to reel and on 8 track in the car In my own formative years it was.. Never mind the Bollox at School The Ruts Babylon's Burning (they were a local group) The Boomtown Rats were huge at the time as well. and also hearing Tubeway Army for the first time are all musical memories I have from round about the same time.
  10. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1432566418' post='2782724'] The one in the pic looks the same size as the combo. I think it depends whether it's the 1X12, the 1X15 or the 2X10 and whether it's version 2 or 3. [/quote] Yes you're right, that's the 210 v3 and it's the same size as the v3 500 combo.
  11. [quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1432559492' post='2782630'] back to the line out being only post everything, I've used it twice with a full PA first time, at a local venue with an in house PA, it was unusable, signal too high (according to the sound man) second time at Strummercamp this weekend no problems at all sound guy said everything was good, that was with gain at 12 o clock and master at 3 o clock, so go figure [/quote] I have also used the DI out a few times and haven't had a problem yet.
  12. How's this? [url="https://flic.kr/p/rcjnLN"][/url][url="https://flic.kr/p/rcjnLN"]Fender Cabs 410[/url] by [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/8374568@N07/"]Don [/url]
  13. Sorry to hear that. I hope the problem is resolved soon and you're back in the happy camp.
  14. [quote name='Norris' timestamp='1432375992' post='2780929'] How did that go? Edit: Doh! That's tonight! I want a full report though [/quote] Just back from it! It was a pretty small event in the end, still nice to play outside and get paid even tho it was cold about +12 c. A few were up dancing and we also sold a few CD's , so can't be bad. Pretty low volume levels as well, so no pushing the rig at all. Must say I do like having the speakers closer to the ears and will always take the extension cab when I can. It's just more goodness Some wobbly video footage my daughter shot... Basssplayer-Jazzbass-boring - it's just noise lol. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bg5kk55-Tg&feature=youtu.be[/media]
  15. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1432293932' post='2780084'] See? I disagreed before you even said it. [/quote] I also think they sound totally different. For me the Jazz needs a bit more eq-ing with the band, the P just works treble on or off. Might have to try myself a PJ one day. off topic, but when I showed NWR (name dropping lol) my 1970 Precision he picked it up played it and asked me if I'd considered adding a jazz pick-up to it lol.
  16. Him and Bernard are the reasons's I won't be without a stingray... I'll forever keep the image of their 2 spirits funking it up wherever they are!
  17. Aston Family man Barrett's choice of weapon (you don't get more un -quacky than that) Sting in the early days.. Good old Norman Watt Roy as well. It's a very responsive bass imo, As has been said pup blending and tone control mixed with where you attack from make it very versatile.
  18. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1432056394' post='2777669'] yep and almost year of birth bass too! [/quote] Buy that and I'll swap you my 82 for it if that's closer?
  19. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1432056138' post='2777659'] stingrayGasnotbeing helped here [/quote] I think you'd be hard pushed to find another pre EB at that price!
  20. Is that normal that the string tensioner should push the G and D strings over that much? It's not like that on my reissue Maybe the photo is from and odd angle. Nice bass never the less.
  21. It keeps on impressing me! First time now I ran it out with a Jazz and flats and it had loads of punch, pop and burp, So these are not just suited to P's. Didn't have to touch the amp controls at all. Edit to add, we do an outdoor'er on Saturday and I won't be going through the PA, so should see if the 4-10's can kick it out.
  22. If you don't have one, you'll gas for one at some point. I know I did! P bass, Sunburst and Maple mmmm (classy)
  23. I get mileage and looks out of my 51 P with flats on for that type of stuff. I have also used a Ray as well, so guess it's what exact type of sound you're after.
