I have the bits for a PJ (with a classic 50's profile neck) sitting around waiting for me to get to so we're in the same boat!
-
Really enjoying this!
-
For the last few days I've been flitting back and forward between Tesseract's new album "Sonder" and, wait for it, Deacon Blue's top 15 songs on my "play music" app. Amos Williams and Ewen Vernal are both total beasts...

Set up suggestions mixer/monitor/IEM dilemma
Bigwan replied to bonzodog's topic in Accessories and Misc
Splitter cable was my first thought... Actually change your desk was my first thought, but I assume you're not that commited to an IEM setup yet! -
This is going to look lush...

I love a good P-bass, but it hasn't always been the case. It took playing an especially good one for me to "see the light". That opened the floodgates, so to speak. Now I wouldn't be without one! Err - why would a PJ be your ultimate bass then? Most PJ basses seem to have skinny J necks...
-
Mostly because there aren't many alternatives!

I'd second the used Yamaha BB1024 and add the X for aesthetic appeal (i.e. BB1024X). Other than that you could look for a used Fender Deluxe Active P Bass Special (yes that's actual name...). I had one briefly and, other than the awful gold plastic faux-anodised pickguard, it was a fine bass that I sold too cheaply...

I hope our significant others never meet... -
Lovely!

Which bass players play in the upper register like Peter Hook?
Bigwan replied to shoulderpet's topic in General Discussion
I think they mean up there where the dust collects.... -
I used to lust after one of these when I was just taking up bass. Would have been late '91 so your timing is right. Haven't seen many since!
-
Could you put that in your signature Alan, or would the basschat police get you?
-
Been around a while
-
You'd need McMillen's MIDI Expander then (or equivalent)
-
Understood. I'd buy something bigger for big gigs then. Keeps setup simple and there are bargains to be had these days. It's a buyers market.

Having just seen the trailer for "The First Purge" I was wondering - do you ever wish you had a time-limited free pass to respond to some posts on here with your first reaction?
-
https://www.thomann.de/gb/keith_mcmillen_12_step.htm Good enough for Billy Sheehan...
-
You're going to come round to the idea of changing your cabs before the end...
-
Their Sumo power amps seem quite highly thought of by the few people I've heard of who've had them (here and over on that other site where they "discuss" bass related topics).
-
Replace the turned string retainers with a single bar version. Straighten up the tuners and shave the headstock to a more reasonable/more acceptable/less hideous shape, and it wouldn't be the worst looking thing I'd ever seen... Except for the control knobs. Somebody should burn for those...
-
So much want... I'm assuming from pickup placement that this is quite musicman-esque? -
I wish!

$550, $700, $800 depending on the model (plus shipping and import). 4 week build time according to website. I'd give this a read if you're interested: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/arkham-zephyr-tube-bass-preamp.1141059/ I liked the idea of the JHS when I first saw it, but I've been reading more bad reports about lack of headroom on them than anything good...
