yes 47 and 33 i dont think anyone really uses all of the cap facility..ie using 'a bit of cut' so they seem fine not being familiar with that pot layout i can see why the jazz is better with the separate caps and controls well done fender

[quote name='Muse_Cubed' post='552925' date='Jul 27 2009, 05:39 PM']These pickups are supposedly hot, but I'm getting a pretty tiny output from them compared to my Warwick/Pedulla - it barely registers on my amp unless I've turned the input all the way up on passive mode (I'm getting some sound by using my boost pedal, but it's not really enough). I've adjusted the pickups as close as possible to the strings and changed batteries...everything's wired alright I think. My soldering's not amazing, but I did what the thing said. What's going wrong?[/quote] did you change pots sorry...are they EMG active pups if you play them without battery power they sound just as you said make sure the batt wires are connected correctly....especially to the jack

anyone fitted a U retro...seems like a cool idea...for projects

has anyone mentioned hugh manson

[quote name='oligoon' post='552803' date='Jul 27 2009, 04:19 PM']ta for replies:- crow the pick up resonates when the open A is played - sounds like there is something vibrating inside the pickup. i'm not near burnham - but near Yeovil - out in the sticks! although do go up the m5 fairly often - is there a good shop in burnham? chris whats GAS? Gear Aquisition Syndrome??? I certainly have that - the missus is doing her nut already![/quote] yes there is a good shop in burnham with a couple of musicians running it i sold my bass via them when i lived there the vibrations from your pup for just the A frequency are strange can you take the pup out yourself....if you do your own restringing...and who doesnt then taking out the pups isnt a really hard job...its just 4 screws..no unsoldering...then you might see something in the hole the pup goes in to it could be the wires vibrating etc your pups should be sitting on foam rubber yeovil is the centre of the universe man!!! all those helicopters cheers geof

[quote name='RichB' post='552748' date='Jul 27 2009, 03:40 PM'] I'm off now to try that out!!!!![/quote] check the bed availability at the local hospital just as a precaution seriously it does work always smile and talk quietly and make salient points in both parties favour i got some neat clarks shoes at the weekend...the sign said 70% sale...on selected items the ones i picked were about 40% reduced i pointed out the 70% wording and said these were selected...by me...what about some more off they took £10 off..making it £25 for the shoes they suggested i take some anti scuff cream to smarten them up only if its free i said..it wasnt...but then i tried and me and the sales girl had a brilliant laugh together...leave them laughing it was a great day...had a mega costa coffee to celebrate

[quote name='RichB' post='552706' date='Jul 27 2009, 03:13 PM']You're looking to buy some new/different gear. You see a lot of places on the internet selling, what you know is, good stuff for a little cheaper than you can buy in your nearest instrument store. Is it wise to save those extra few quid, or should you really go and test it out in person and get the feel of say the bass your thinking about, or muck about with the features on an amp? Discuss%^$£@!!£%&*())))(*&^%$££[/quote] consider freight charges etc i hear many basses arent set up properly so if you get it online...you have to have it set up if you go into the shop....you can say you will do it...or get it done and haggle a bit take cash and show it up front in £20's ask to see the manager and pitch it hard that either you get a reduction or you go elsewhere run like f*** if the guy is big and doesnt play ball its a real tough world you will always have the online price to bait with...remember nearly everyone looks online for prices...even shop staff/managers/owners its cash flow and sensible if you can get a deal try to pay in visa...

i watched every bass go with excitement because i got GAS relief with the replacement if you get too attached to a certain bass model imho you wont get fun fun fun

[quote name='jonthebass' post='552702' date='Jul 27 2009, 03:06 PM'][i]Slightly[/i] off track but does anyone have any experience with a non-Fender '51 P bass type, i.e. Shuker, Bacchus, etc? Are they completely different beasts or a good recreation/interpretation? Regards, JTB[/quote] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/34963887@N02/sets/72157621683978205/show/"]Shuker slide show[/url] this is mine and hopefully will be sold soon....it sounds brighter and clearer than a P...it has the s-d vintage so it could be made more ballsy with the qp's or other makes the shuker scores over the clone models as it has better tuners bridge and nut the neck radius is flatter and the build and finish are superb i have used a P and found them too muddy and boom boom for my style of music..i like clarity and bell like tones

[quote name='oligoon' post='552381' date='Jul 27 2009, 10:11 AM']Buzz, ta for reply - better get my arse up to the big smoke (london) as decent music shops aren't plentiful in somerset![/quote] how does the pickup resonate when not plugged in, do you think a set up would fix it you anywhere near burnham on sea?

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='551969' date='Jul 26 2009, 06:29 PM']I have LP's of riders like that circulating the IoM in the 50's and 60's. I started riding to Brands and Snetterton when Sheene, Smart, Haslam (The older brother who was killed) and Dave Croxford were riding. One of my favourite riders of that time was Peter Williams. I think I saw Minter and Ivy ride but I'm not certain. Was Minter the King of Brands? The Transatlantic Trophy races were fun too with Read, DuHamel, Roberts et al Good times. Mind Rossi is immense nowadays. I remember the Saarinen incident well too, a sad day. Are we a little of track with this? [/quote] yes way OT you are [b]fender jazz [/b][u][/u]right to point that out cheers
