    I'm planning on changing the pick ups on my first bass. Its only a beginners bass, almost the same as an Encore, but different name. I was wondering would a pair of DiMarzio DP127 WH's fit onto them, or would I need to change something with the wiring? (I've just taken out the frets on the bass and soon to change the colour ) Thanks Guys

    Where is the best place to buy some? I'm having a hard time trying to find some 5 string ones. I'm mainly looking for a Humbucker (Like on a Musicman). I'm gonna also check how much it'll be for a hole to be made for it hehe. Thanks guys

    mhm, reading this topic has made me glad I bought a Trace over the Ashdown. I thought Ashdowns, were meant to be one of the tops, though I haven't myself used one before now.

    mhm, I don't think I have any of the tools to do that hehe. Though I;'ll have to ask my dad about what we have in the house.

    I'm tempted to de-fret my Jazz, but I was wondering, does anyone know a guide price for what people generally do it for? Thanks guys

    I got mine a year ago, and it didn't say anything about an upgrade :S

  10. Exile252

    Though I've thought of something that may blow up your head thinking, such as an Ibanez GSR200? What do ya do! So I can only play V Jazz with a Man named Trace Elliot?

    [quote name='paul, the' post='192610' date='May 6 2008, 02:08 AM']I do love the look of a white Marcus Miller bass. That Belgian chap on youtube seems to like his, too.[/quote] That Belgian chap? Sounds interesting Thanks for the help there, I think I'll go for the Marcus Miller in white, and after some time, add a hipshot d-tuner to it.

    All sorts really, though I'm looking at price aswell, both the Lee and Miller basses are half the price of a MM. Another reason why I'm thinking differently, someone on my course said everyone uses the MMs, and thinking about it, they do seem rather popular ^_^

    Taught myself for the most part, but I've had some fine tuning off my tutors in college for some added ability. But other than that, it was all reading tabs and such.

    After thinking long and hard, I've decided I'd rather play it safe and go for another Fender Jazz bass instead of a Musicman. But I'm at odds between the Marcus Miller sig Jazz or the Geddy Lee sig bass. What do you guys think?
  18. Exile252
    Mhm, now after looking at more basses for extended periods of time, I'm thinking of going for a Geddy Lee Sig or a Marcus Miller Jazz bass instead, anyone know if they are any good?

    As over 30 mins ago, Come On, Come Over - Jaco Pastorius. Well, I know how to play it, but playing it perfectly at the right speed is abit more tricky

    Though you gotta admit you never know if he changed it before posting it just then. Thats happened on this forum I used to go onto, though being an admin on that forum, I was able to go on to his user and find out he did change it before posting. So That could have happened here.

    [quote name='classic' post='190903' date='May 2 2008, 10:24 PM']One of the biggest problems of "naming and shamming" is when you only have one half of the story. Ask Benwhite to show the pm where I have offered £500, he will decline to do this as he will not be able to show you it. Also ask him to show the pm where I said he was lucky to be offered that much? Neither of his statements are true! I still have the pm's I sent, and my first offer was 550.00 based on what I had seen them go for on eBay, check the completed items bit on eBay and you will see that one went for £600 the other day, my last offer to him was £580. If that is not enough for him that’s fine. I have not come on here to make enemies, I saw items being sold on eBay around my offer price without him having to pay eBay and paypal fees, so what’s the problem? Perhaps before people make comments they should find out the truth first. if someone would care to tell me how I can post the PM's I sent to Ben, I will post them on here for you all to see! Ben all my PM's to you were polite, as were your replies, so I don’t see why you feel the need to lie about the contents of the pm? Unless you’re just bored and had nothing better to do than to invent pm's just so you could jump on the bandwagon and make a post. IMO naming and shamming is fine when its justified, making an offer for something that one person thinks is fair but another person doesn’t is not grounds to try to humiliate someone.[/quote] I gotta disagree with you, when buying Ben's Trace off him, which I admit did take awhile to get the payment down and stuff, but he was cool with the whole thing and we didn't have much of a problem other than that. It went for what he advertised it for.

    Thats just a music vid hehe, other wise, he did record that haha

    [quote name='budget bassist' post='189880' date='May 1 2008, 06:14 PM']You can get unpainted headstocks on sterlings too. You can also get stingrays with matching headstocks. Order through a dealer and there's so many choices. You can order a ray and choose: paint colour matching or unpainted headstock pickup config: H, HH, HP, HS, HHP, HSP scratchplate colour EQ size (2 band EQ is just a boost, 3 band is boost and cut) fretboard wood (maple, rosewood, or fretless, which is only available in pau ferro) fretted/fretless lines/fretless blank 4/5 string You can also order a sterling with the same choices or a bongo but they don't come with a maple board or non-matching headstock and i'm not too sure about the EQ, they also do a 6 string version of the bongo. If you want the classic musicman sound, look and feel with a bit of a p-bass neck go for the ray. The sterlings have smaller bodies, slimmer jazz-style necks (which you might like as you have a jazz) and apparently sound that little bit tighter. Then there's the bongo, with an 18V preamp it's monster and VERY versatile i hear. So take your pick. BTW i didn't read any of the other posts so i'm probably repeating some stuff.[/quote] hehe thanks for all that. have a go on all three before I make my mind up, though I'm not sure at the moment. Only ever tried the Stringray. Thanks for all the info guys.
