    [quote name='benwhiteuk' post='448814' date='Mar 29 2009, 06:07 PM']Was that the “how to spontaneously blow smoke up your own arse whilst high” DVD? As an educational tool it’s about as much use as a banker with a fast-track teaching qualification, but for a laugh it’s alright [/quote] LMAO!!

    I also forgot to mention that ive sheilded the hell out of it with layers of shielding tape even inside the pup casings, and then gone over that with insulation tape. Its nice n quiet! Its also all CTS pots etc. I think ive decided to leave it as is but see if i can swap it. P's just arent my bass i guess. I have NO idea what id sell it for! It cost quite a bit but as i know i wont get that back!

    EDITED...BACK FOR SALE ...OFFERS? I picked up an unknown brand (most likely fuji or matsu) 70s japanese P bass copy a while back and have rather modded it beyond belief, but im still in way too much debt so it's gotta go Here it is, the body as stated is a 70's jap body with a very thin sunburst finish that wears really easily. All the damage to the sides and back is original play wear, ONLY the damage to the front forearm bout is new and its actual playwear not just a screwdriver attack, although i confess i did make a point of playing 'vigourously' with a pick, but hey, ive been enjoying the new sound and vibe! The body was obviously played the hell out of for years! Since the pics there is a fag burn on the headstock (outdoor gig) and the forearm bout wear has spread and the pickguard has been stopped from lifting and the whole bass is copper shielded. The neck is a rather snazzy, and pricey, brand new allparts relic over a lightly flamed neck and is fitted as you can see with a fender logo. The neck is brand new and very convincing!, the fretwire is non original stewmac vintage fine stuff that was specifically fitted afterwards. Its FAB with a wonderful matte stingray-esque worn finish and rolled edges for a played in feel. The pro that fitted it wanted to buy it off me. The tuners are the original 70s ones although underneath the neck is drilled for period correct reverse action jobbies. ALL the hardware is bloomin expensive genuine Fender USA aged parts, the knobs, pickguard, all screws, neckplate, and grooved saddle bridge. The bridge cover is the original 70s one. The neck one is an aged part but i dont think its fender cause it dosnt match the screw holes on the fender pickguard. So its not fitted but would be included, along with the tatty old case it came with. The pickup was made specifically for this bass by Andy at Wizard pickups, its the 'trad' model. I asked for slightly underwound but very edgy and growly tone in an aged cover, and it sounds out of this world!!!!!!!!!!! Proper piano like, deep but solid growly tone. One of the best ive heard, full stop!!! The bass was pro assembled and set up and is amazing in all regards. But I need to pay off some credit card bill £420 delivered in it's hard case with the covers and schaller straplocks. This is a very special bass indeed and has to be seen and played to be fully appreciated! No sales bull, it's über tasty! I already sold it once for debt and then bought it back as soon as i could (well, too soon actually which i why i have to sell again:-( )

    They had black headstocks and tuning gear as standard boss. Amazing basses

    It always reminded me of some pics in the old bassist magazine of a 'trekker' bass I think it belonged to a chap called Louis Johnson. I could very well be waaay off mark though.

    Trying to find out more about this pedal was I think how I stumbled across bassworld as was back in the day in the first place. I had one for years that finally broke after having all sorts of desperate attempts to wring a bit more life out of it! I was totally gutted as it's just the most excellent chorus pedal ever, a really warm, lush shimmer with tons of depth that sounds pretty stereo even in mono; a really characterful and expressive sound with a slight boost in operation. They are rare as anything made in Japan for Roland and sold in kit form in the very early 80s they weren't around long! I just found one in great nick and a crazy, crazy, crazy price. I replaced my original with an old, mono boss ce2 which isn't as lush, shimmery or deep but adds a nice edge so now I'm torn as to which to put on my board!! It's like having an old friend back! Dunno which I like best after having got used to the 'inferior sound' of the boss! lol

    Hey all here's the deal. I'm working on a relic p bass project and need a pickup, but i have a rather demanding list of needs!..it has to be aged in appearence, it can't be too hot I don't wanna overdrive my wireless. It's gotta be passive, it's gotta have excellent noise rejection esp the kinda noise that dimmers give off.. My house is terrible for this!! I want a big, sledgehammer p bass sound kinda like the green day 'american idiot' type sound, but that I can roll back for a more funk/disco vibe. Oh and it's gotta be pretty cheap! I was looking at the wizard trad but searching on here didn't bring up much about it, most people seem to go for the thumper which sounds like it might be too retro and wooley sounding to me? I've read similar things about the expensive antiquity 2. I don't want a Motown thud, more a grind! What do people think of the trad? I've emailed wizard but Andy isn't sure he can help. I'm Hoping they can do me an aged underwound one but I'm new to p basses and don't know what's good. Apparently the mike dirnt bass has fender custom shop 59 pickups which I can't find and I'm sure wouldn't be able to afford lol! But the trad is only £50 which is a nice price lol! The current pickup is ok, but slightly too hollow for me, also I notice that when I play the p bass the red light ony Samson bass wireless lights up, but there is no audible distortion. Adjusting the level didn't really help, and it's fine with my other basses, should I care less about the light if all sounds fine? Andy figures that if the orignal is too hot then his really will be . Thoughts??
