    Try DV247 at Romford. [url="http://www.dv247.com/invt/48137/"]http://www.dv247.com/invt/48137/[/url] Seems they can ship in 3 days, suggesting they have stock. They are also great on price matching. Got my 70s Classic MIM from them, gave me £100 off!!!

    [quote name='MedicoSiameseMultietnico' post='335077' date='Nov 23 2008, 06:48 PM']I think that tomorrow I can read the serial number. I read other posts and I guess I've to interpret the last 3 numbers like the month and year of construction. Have I to consider that 998 is the last pregibson construction 9 (september) 98 (1998).I'm wrong? If the serial is like a 199 or 599 have I to consider the project pregibson and the cponstruction gibson? Neilb sei sicuramente più esperto di me, ma leggendo in giro ho letto diverse volte che la SMC è la prima serie costruita da gibson.E' possibile che tu confonda la SMC con la SMX?[/quote] So che la SMC è stata la prima SMX, sia prima Gibson per quanto riguarda lo so.
  8. neilb
    Si.!!!! La SMX è la prima Gibson era. Con i migliori saluti Neil

    1. Black P plate, generic make (NOT FENDER) will fit most P basses except Jap models 2. White P plate for SX Precisions only. 3. White Fender Jazz (American) plate. £12 each posted.
  11. neilb
    Yes, but they were more common of the Jazz range.

    Distortion advice

    neilb replied to neilb's topic in Effects

    Ive just A/B'd several pedals at my local shop. Ashdown Lomenzo - too brittle for my ear, not impressed. Various Boss/ Ibanez jobbies. Ok, but too much dist on the lower frequencies. I want them let alone. However, I tried a Blackstar HT Dist valve pedal. Blimey, what a lovely product. Warmed up the bottom end and gave a nice controlled overdrive to the highs. Anyone alse tried these? I know they are guitar effects but they sound great.

    [quote name='budget bassist' post='325023' date='Nov 8 2008, 10:19 PM']I'd go for the MIM 70's reissue just based on price and looks tbh. I've never actually tried any of them[/quote] +1. Got one, love it.

    Distortion advice

    neilb posted a topic in Effects

    I want to attain that rasping distorted sound that JE got from his setup in the 90's for when we do our Who songs in our set. I think he used a Digitech Guitar 2150 processor (the purple rack one), but think thats too over the top for me. Could someone recommend a floor pedal that would come close? Ive tried some distortion pedals and they seem to fair better than overdrive pedals. Would a guitar distortion pedal be better than a bass one? I only want to distort the upper frequencies. Any advice tips would be great. My existing set up is in my sig. Thanks

    I wouldn't pay silly money for it TBH, its hardly impressive provenance, is it? I cant see why it would attract more than a normal 70s P.
  17. neilb
    Stu, hope your writing nice stuff about my hero...............

    Happy 100% at last. Just bought a 70s Classic Jazz bass. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&showtopic=28783&view=findpost&p=297045"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?s=&sho...st&p=297045[/url] Played last nite through my Trace stack. THAT sound just blew me away. Even those at the back of the clubhouse said the bass hit them in the chest. You know its right when you hit that B note on the E string, makes yer ribs flex...............ahhhhh!
