Congrats! I'm sure they will make all the difference.

Check out the Delano website. They have symbols next their different pickups to help you find a match that will alleviate this problem. Otherwise, Dimarzio Model P/J and Split P/Ultra Jazz bridge work well together. By the way I just bought your old BB415 off SlapbassSteve. I think it's a brilliant bass for the money and the output match between the pickups is spot on. I have disc problems in my back and I like the lighter feel of the body on this bass but those BB tuners are HEAVY! Just ordered some Hipshot Lic Ultralites off the 'bay (from the States - much cheaper!) I put some on an old Jazz bass of mine once that was really heavy and just this simple upgrade shaved off half a pound of the total body weight, which brought in the rest of the bass' centre of gravity nicely around the body area which was much more comfortable to manage. That half a pound extra at the headstock really adds up. Levers and fulcrums and all that. Maybe look at lighter tuners for your BB. The Lic Ultralites will be cheaper than a decent set of P/J's for the other bass. Just a thought from a newly converted BB fan! Good luck either way..

Just received a nice Yammy BB415 from Steve. It came well packed, couldn't be happier! Great guy to deal with, nice friendly comms, super easy deal. One of the good guys for sure, a pleasure. Cheers mate!

Sold Daz some TI flats in what must be the quickest BC deal ever. Gone in minutes! Lovely chap on the comms, super easy deal. Defo do business with him again no probs. Cheers mate!

Anyone here using the roundcores on a 5 here? What's the B string like?

I bought a lovely custom shop Tweed lead off Mike and he was ace to deal with, great on the comms and the lead came super well packaged. Defo do business with him again, a pleasure. Cheers Mike! Si.

Congrats Skol, cracking track this (last) month! I did vote for you but I have to say that I've enjoyed them all, Al's track in particular has also been on repeat too - a mini masterpiece in itself. What with Bilbo covering the imrov upright angle it gets more difficult to actually submit something. The standard's so high now! Yes, I know it's all for fun really and hats off to lord sausage for just getting stuck in there although His was unfinished (cool vibe all the same!) Well done everyone, y'all got me personally on the good foot this time! Respec'

Not long to go... Listen! Enjoy! Vote! Great haul this month.

I'm currently training to be a teaching assistant at the local primary school. It's a really funny and rewarding way to spend my day, loving it! I get to be a bit creative making displays etc, no heavy graft (used to be a plumbing bass player - God knows what I was thinking there) with the ace working hours of 9 - 3.15. Oh and school hols off. Boom! Just a thought.. Edit: By the way, primary schools LOVE people who can sing and play acoustic guitar!

Some cool tracks again this month. Well done y'all!

The 4001/4003 would be brilliant basses if they hadn't put the bodies on back to front.

[quote name='The fasting showman' timestamp='1397123434' post='2420821'] Maybe this only applies to me so I hope nobody takes offence! In the time that I've been playing the bass I would have to say that I've been most vulnerable to the siren voices of new gear when I've been in a lesser standard of band (the 'do we sound crap because of me?' factor) or between bands. When I've played with better musicians they tend to raise my game and equipment ceases to be as important, obviously within reason. Plus at those times in my life I've gigged so much that the last thing I'd be interested in is tinkering with my gear, purely maintenance only. You start to see these patterns emerge in your life...
