How about this one from [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/pickguard-bass-plated-brass-p-2574.html?p=product"]Allparts[/url] A bit pricey and not [i]exactly[/i] what you want but close...

Well CK, I can't get the idea of a new Shuker out of my head! It's Clarky's fault - Waving that JJB bass in front of me and letting me try it

No photos of the back of the body/guitar either?!

I got one for the same reasons you did. Apart from there only being a Gain, Bass & Treble controls is a lovely sounding unit and would highly recommend it. With a bit of tweaking you can get some great sounds going. I've done loads of gigs and recording with mine and it's solid as a rock. Cheers, Jon

A small guitar pick feels wrong to me on bass, if you haven't tried a big triangle then do it now![/quote] +1 and same here. You also get 3 picks in one so plenty of life in them and added value! Can't decide if I like the Blue 1mm or Green .88mm though! Cheers, JTB

[quote name='Legion' post='526492' date='Jun 28 2009, 07:57 AM']...It was yea, although I didn't realise you had posted about it previously. It was only a 90 minute drive so I went to check it out. You know the rest [/quote] Ah man, it had me gassing big time. I was thinking about flogging a load of gear to fund it at one point Well done that man!

A quick update - I've now got a MarkBass SA450 and rehearsed it along with my Compact cabs today. All good and a killer of an amp! Cheers, Jon.

Bought Myke's Mark Bass amp off him and it was a very fast and smooth transaction. Thanks for getting it to me so quickly, it is much appreciated. A highly recommended Basschatter. Cheers, Jon

Now those are seriously good looking! If only only I had more space and easier access to my flat then this is what I'd have gone for.

[quote name='Platypus' post='523061' date='Jun 24 2009, 10:31 PM']Incoming - probably next week sometime.....[/quote] WOW that looks nice. Fancy a mini Harrow bass bash so I can have a ganders please Cheers, Jon

Thanks Dave for the fast delivery on my 2 bass speaker cables. A top man and top products, Cheers, Jon

[quote name='Kongo' post='521312' date='Jun 22 2009, 11:35 PM']Why not get a DI box that has some EQ to it like the BassBone? Failing that, a head that puts DI signal post-EQ? But the whole idea does suck...Guitarists get mic'd yet we get DI well I dunno...COmpanies could think "Hey! Why not allow them their tone to come through the PA?" But then...the soundguy could hate your sound and EQ it his end so really, it's pointless.[/quote] Indeed - I have the Sadowsky D.I. pedal and it works well in being an 'adjustable' D.I. The thing with live sound is that even the Guitards will more than likely be gated/eq'd/compressed/limited to oblivion anyway so you are always at the sound persons mercy. This is where the Mate with a bit of sound nouse comes in handy - he/she can stand near to the soundman and speak for you!

[quote name='alexclaber' post='521410' date='Jun 23 2009, 08:17 AM']...The near mythical Vintages will be ready next week, what a wait...[/quote] Any pictures available of them Alex? Cheers, Jon.

[quote name='dabootsy' post='520971' date='Jun 22 2009, 06:22 PM']...My point is whats the point Do you think I should just give up thinking?[/quote] IMO Yes & No. You are correct that in a large P.A. situation your bass amp is just on stage monitoring, so just enjoy it! We pay lots of dough for that rig. Just make sure your raw bass sound going into the D.I. is the best it can be. Obviously a gig where the bass is non-P.A. supported and all the sound is coming from your rig then that's best for everyone to enjoy your gear but then you get into mechanical coupling, acoustic coupling and sound dispertion issues! Cheers, JTB

Indeed! Got me thinking about a project again now! BTW what are the Fender '59 RI Precisions like? Have fancied one but never been able to try one! Cheers, Jon.

Nice one, a great rock machine in the making! You're not a Jazz player are you? Just wanted to check Jon

[quote name='Clarky' post='519324' date='Jun 20 2009, 02:36 PM']Flippin'eck Jon, that rig looks like it could move a Jumbo Jet![/quote] I reckon it could!
