Hi all, I need a good bass tech in the north west, Lancashire preferably. I know of manchesterguitartech and that ged green fellow, but looking for things slightly closer to home. Any one know of anyone?

I'll be honest, I really miss being in the g-3 club

I said it on talkbass, and I'll say it on here...'beautiful'

I got some Wizard 84's on Friday to put in a project jazz, the bridge pup works fine, but the neck has extremely low output. Barely audible in fact. Any one have a reason why this would be? I've tried pickup height and checked my wiring is good but can't understand what's going wrong. Would a faulty pot cause reduced volume? Merci

And that's all I needed to know! Thanks folks

Hi all, I'm thinking about picking up some Wizard 84's, and just seeing if they come with pickup screws? Doesn't seem to say on the site and would like to know before I get them and can't install them! Cheers

That amp's a real beauty!

I'm in Lancaster, Lancashire. It's just annoying seeing a beautiful neck and body sat there screaming to be rocked out with, but alas, I must wait. Just been reading about USPS taking many weeks to reach their destination, so mayeb there's some hope it's still out there.

No tracking numbers for Priority Mail for USPS if it was sent in an envelope apparently. I'm kicking myself because I've never had any problem with shipping, and the guy offered a more expensive type of shipping with numbers, but I said no. I'll get onto RM soon, I think it's 15 days you have to wait before they look into it. I'm now tempted to buy more new tuners and pickups, but I know the minute I do it, they'll turn up!

Thanks folks, I'll keep it in mind

This is driving me crazy. I'm making a fender/warmoth jazz and it's all set to go apart from tuners and pickups. Tuners are from Sussex and were shipped 2 weeks ago, first class. Nothing yet. Pickups were shipped 5 WEEKS ago from the US, and nothing yet. I'm getting a feeling they're somewhere at the bottom of the Atlantic. Anyone have really bad experiences with shipping or really long times? I just wanted to vent sorry, it's time like this you realise how much you just sit and pick up a bass when you're hanging out. Oh well, there's always tomorrows post!

Can someone tell me what 'darker' sounding means on the 84's? I had a look into them and I'm after a dirty grinding bass tone, but does darker mean that?

Very nice! I sold one of these about a month ago and kinda miss it now. Great solid tone and feel. Might I be cheeky and ask how much you got it for? PM me if you don't want to say

Smash, yes it does I'm afraid. Maybe keep an eye for a 2nd hand one? I don't know about you, but I get really fussy about neatness and a tidy pedalboard, so the cost was worth it in my case, as it eliminates an extra power supply and the gigrig is small enough to look neat and tidy. I sold my xo microsynth and gigrig late last year on here...you gotta be quick!!

I honestly don;t know about using more than 1 pedal. You could either shoot the guys an email at Gigrig, or maybe ask Higgie on here as I know he used/uses one? And the muff isn't mine I'm afraid....although the one I have is in even better condition

The XO Microsynth WILL work on a daisy chain, but you have to use a Gigrig Virtual Battery (about £25-30), attach it to a connector on the daisy chain then join the gigrig and the microsynth. The gigrig works as an isolated output and therefore takes away the 'daisy chain' element. I did this using a Johnnyshredfreak power supply and got no hum whatsoever. The Gigrig people are nice guys too so support them!

Lee bought some tuners I had, no problems at all, a thoroughly nice bloke and would deal with again in a jiffy!

Check out the Orange Crush series...either 20 watt or 35. I have a 20 that's plenty loud over acoustics and it sounds great too.

That looks excellent! Congrats. I just sold a Gibson G-3 and looking at this again is making me question my motives! Great work buddy, I love a good restoration job!
