  1. The restoration (now Varsity) on weds, the strand on Thurs (my fave) the frog 'n fiddle on Fri, the fiery angel on Sun, apparently the St Pauls tavern every other Sun or something like that and i think theres a Tues one too, but cant remember where.
  2. Go for it mate, id never been to one before moving to cheltenham and now there are about five a week! I love just going along and jamming and ive made a bunch of great mates doing it too, and met a fellow basschatter too!
  3. [quote name='David Nimrod' post='161635' date='Mar 21 2008, 11:03 PM']I drove straight to my tech. in Leicester... couldn't resist. He's gonna sort out the action & mend the black s/plate... I'm not surprised you're missing it... bloody gorgeous bass! I just can't wait to play it, I know we're going to have fun. & it's just about the most awesome bass I've ever had [/quote] would that be Bob?
  4. [quote name='GreeneKing' post='160689' date='Mar 20 2008, 10:48 AM']In relation to wiring it up the small unit has 3 connections. The output wire to the jack socket goes to one and from another on the unit you take a wire to the jack i.e. the output runs through the unit. The third connection (the one I forgot when rebuilding my bass the 2nd time) goes to ground. Easy peasy and very effective, the rotary unit has 4 positions the 1st being off or straight through (bypassed). Peter[/quote] thanks dude, sadly i didnt understand a word!, im such a goon at this stuff
  5. How strange that this should resurface as im waiting for a geddy! Is that gold hardware and and a tortie guard i can smell! mmmm Does this also make my sonic blue jazz one of those 1970s little things that puttered about
  6. Thats actually a good idea, but im starting to get sold on the villex idea (d'oh) does anyone know if it will work wired up : neck vol, bridge vol, tone, villex ?
  7. I have an audere JZ3 deluxe with three band z mode switch and passive tone control on my jazz as of Fri, but have decided to take it off to stick a villex prtb in there. (£70) Anyone interested, cause if i know i have a def buyer ill buy the villex and take it into the shop to get it swapped out? Also [i]might[/i] be persuaded to sell my east J retro too, as its also coming out another jazz if anyone def wanted one?
  8. 99% its the 1/2 mate, it came with the wrong insert in the box but im sure i recall it being a 1/2 when i bought it about a month ago
  9. stuck one on mine, i really like em
  10. sometimes i find this and its because im unconciously applying back pressure to the neck as im playing due to the height/position of my bass
  11. I have decided that active jazzes arent for me so im gonna pull my audere out my jazz but this will leave an extra hole on the plate as the bass is now fitted with a side mounted jack so i was thinking about the villex rotary variable mid control to fill the gap, or possibly an extra tone control so eack pickup would have one, is this do-able? any thoughts folks?
  12. Not mine and no pics yet but he wants to sell it so i said id mention it on here, its pretty much unused (hes a guitarist) in black with five strings same as the one in the other thread hes asking £200 but im sure hed consider offers...
  13. My names Gaf, i'm 31 years old been playing and indeed gigging for 17, mainly on four string jazz basses stingrays and warwicks, always modded someway or another! As a child of grunge my favourite players were Flea, Bill Gould and Cass Lewis, and i do get compared to the first two, but then i have also been compared to Boosty too? (its prob the wah pedal! ) Im also a huge Neds fan! so love high melodic bass lines. Although I am primarily a fingerstyle player who likes to be the centre of attention with showy technique i will use a pick if the song needs one and sometimes a thumb if it dosnt! :blush: Im guilty of being a bit of a show-off and know i should stop! My quest for new gear and 'the tone' is painfully never ending and as i get older im slowing down, getting groovier and the bass is getting higher!, im also starting to wish id just bought a p bass and an ampeg! and am going off active electronics!
  14. No pics yet but is average condition a 75w chorus and reverb amp with two 12" scorpion speakers 'supersat' channel and sounds ace, but way more than i need! couldnt post so pick up only looking for £170 or offers..
  15. Thanks dude, i had noticed that one on ebay, trouble is id have to buy it on spec and hope the geddy wasnt awesome! still deciding! thanks for the heads up though
  16. Yeah, i just find em dull, even my sparkle ray, but the dael was so igood i just grabbed it irrespective of colour! Stonecold, i checked out the 'ray, looks great, so many thanks for the offer, but ive decided its juts not quite for me.
  17. [quote name='stonecoldbass' post='156303' date='Mar 12 2008, 08:03 PM']What about...ooh, a 1989 natural stingray with perspex pickguard and hipshot d-tuner....? craig[/quote] sounds promising, any pics about?
  18. Great communication and also very patient with the dodgy post office, nice one!
  19. Ok this is a VERY tentative feeler as i dont even have the bass yet!! Due to a long and sad story i no longer have my KSD (see talkbass for details!) and am awaiting by way of replacement a brand new from the factory Fender Geddy Lee Jazz bass, which ill end up hugely overpaying on but hey thats the cost of being a big soft get and supporting your local music store - bummer. So the bass will be literally, totally brand new, most likely an '08 . Now the problem is i really dont like black basses!, im just a tad limited on what i can get from the store, and the Geddy seemed the most solid choice! So unless its breathtakingly good enough for me to change the preference of a lifetime when it arrives (like the black sparkle ray in my avatar!) someone could be looking at a [i]very[/i] nice deal! Id be interested in a straight swap (no cash my end) or a swap with possible cash adjustment (to me) for: a MIJ '75 reissue in natural ash with maple board and pearl block markers (good condition, fully functional truss rod etc) [i]Possibly[/i] interested in other stuff, status etc, whatever, but good nick and [b]Fully functional[/b] but only four strings por favor! Please [u]PM[/u] me if you have any offers or ideas, ill let you all know when the bass arrives, and what the score is but im 90 percent sure id prefer a natural body on a 70s style jazz. Im into jazzes, not p-basses unless 70's and usually prefer fendery stuff but im open to ideas. sorry for the weirdness! i may end up keeping or just selling for cash, but its due in about 12-14 days
  20. Ive wanted a white gold ray for years, nooooooo!
  21. The strings seem to be mainly the same gauge!?
