    [quote name='Flex' timestamp='1448219632' post='2913789'] Great basses, what's the weight of this one please? [/quote]I need to find my digital scales which are somewhere in the garage first, so I will weigh it in the morning, but I will say that it is extremely light compared to most basses, and definitely the lightest in my collection of twelve.

    [quote name='BanditSid' timestamp='1448052759' post='2912819'] Why did you replace the preamp ? Was it with the same model of Ibanez preamp ? [/quote]One of the pots was a bit crackly and I was struggling to find an original pot on it's own, so decided to order the complete EQ along with pots and wiring. They are all genuine parts from Ibanez as listed below. Model No: [b]3EQ3PC0001[/b] [b]PWC3/1V.1B.3bandEQ.MidQ[/b] Apart from this, the bass is totally original. Hope this helps.

    [b]NOW SOLD!!![/b] I am putting my [b]Ibanez SR5000e Prestige[/b] bass up for sale, because I am in need of funds having just purchased a 1971 precision, so I'm having a bit of a cull on my collection. I'm asking [b]£725[/b] collected, or [b]£750[/b] posted, these cost well over £1800 new. It's in very nice condition, and I have just replaced all the electrics including the pre-amp with genuine Ibanez parts at considerable cost. There is some slight wear from thumb placement above the pickups which can just about be seen in one of the close up pics, other than that, not much to mention really. Edit: I should have stated that it comes with the original Ibanez hardcase, pics have been added to show this. You are welcome to try out the bass at my home in Bridgnorth, Shropshire. Please, no trades, as I really do need to thin my basses out to keep on the right side of my missus!

    I used a wiring harness from KiOgan, so the wiring should be sound. The pickup is a bit closer to the strings than on my others, but if I plug another precision in without changing the settings, the volume is much higher.

    I have just put a Hotrod Thumper in my self-build precision bass and it is so much quieter than all my other precisions, I have six to compare it to and it is definitely lacking, although I do love to tone! Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same problem with the Thumper.

    Thanks for all the great tips/ideas on how to tackle this irritation, but I feel I must point out that there is no way I am going to fall out or walk away because of it, even if it does wind me up, he's my mate, a good mate! and even good mates piss you off every now and then, and as people have mentioned, I can, and do warm up silently, but it would be nice to be able to hear myself so I can adjust settings etc to get my tone right. So yes, in an ideal world, he would be more considerate, but at the end of the day, it's taken me many years to find a guitarist who is not only very good, and have similar musical tastes and ideas, but above all, he is a very decent bloke apart from this minor irritation. TBH, I did not start the thread to have a real bash at him, it was just intended to be a bit of a light-hearted rant really, and wondered if others had similar problems with guitarists.

    [quote name='JwK94' timestamp='1437606867' post='2827605'] Yeah the Jazz guy is scarily good, major major chops. But at the same time I feel like their can't really be a true winner when you have several great players from such different styles. Once you get to some of their levels (not really the rock guy) it goes past comparing their skill to comparing the genres and styles, which of course isnt a competition. [/quote]+1 I couldn't agree more, which is why I made the point earlier, [i]how can you have [u]just one winner[/u] from the combined styles of Jazz, Rock, Classical and Acoustic?[/i]
  10. thebrig
    Ok, 1st Jazz player 2nd Classical player 3rd Percussive/Acoustic player 4th Rock player What does everyone else think?

    Thankfully, we don't have any problems at gigs, I have told him he has to cut out all the noodling between songs etc.. and he seems to have taken that on board, its just at rehearsals where he is an annoying *******!!!
  12. thebrig
    It wouldn't surprise me, like I said earlier, he is good for a 13 year old, but he was the weakest in his category, IMO
  13. thebrig
    All good tips folks, I might just put a few of them into practise next rehearsal.

    [quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1437551656' post='2826896'] Actually, thinking about it, when I warm up at a rehearsal I do it in silence. Don't need any volume to warm my hands up! Drummers always banging things and guitarist is setting his effects so I just do some scales in silence. [/quote]I do try warm up a bit in silence, like you say, scales etc.. but when you have about 50watts of valve amp blasting away in a small rehearsal room, it's can be very distracting to say the least.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1437550803' post='2826883'] Either he's got to go, or you have. [/quote]Trouble is we are good mates and our musical tastes and ideas are very similar, so I think we will be playing music together for some time. I've told him many times about it, but it makes no difference!

    [quote name='yorick' timestamp='1437550539' post='2826878'] Get a headphone amp, like the Vox Amplug, and noodle away to your heart's content.... [/quote]I have GB Shuttle 9.2 head with a headphone socket, but I would still hear him even with the headphones on!

    [size=5]I get so frustrated at rehearsals because I never get the chance to warm up and actually hear myself.[/size] [size=5]Once the guitarist plugs in and starts thrashing away at high volume and without any thought for others, that's the end of it, even the drummer gives me a defeatist look, and we both just sit down and wait until everyone is ready and we go straight in to the songs, and of course it's the same between numbers when we want to discuss something, and nobody can hear whats being said due to the bloody guitard playing away! Is it just me?[/size]

    Watched them all so far with great interest, once we got past the auditioning stage where you had the normal "not so good" players being a subject of some amusement, it has been whittled down to some really brilliant guitarists in their various styles, and this is where I have a problem with it, how can you have just one winner from the combined styles of Jazz, Rock, Classical and Acoustic? Last night a thirteen year old rock guitarist who is pretty good for his age, but more of a showman IMO, won his section and now has to compete with a brilliant jazz guitarist, a brilliant classical guitarist and a very decent acoustic guitarist, how on earth can you compare them fairly, they are ALL good in their own right, but for me, the jazz and classical guys were far superior in every way.

    Ordered a wiring harness for a precision bass yesterday, received it TODAY (next day), could not ask for better service, and great communication throughout! Cheerz John.
