........and replied. Thanks -
I've not really ever set out to compare them with other pups. I installed this set in in bitsa 58 P that I built. They were exactly what I wanted for the bass at the time, they gave the period correct sound, pretty much. I played half a dozen or so gigs with them installed, using both flats and roundwounds. It sounded like a p bass should. I've recently revamped the bass again and wanted a more aggresive sound to suit the current band, my wife treated me to a set of Seymour Duncan quarter pounders. I should probably keep the 62 R/I's as I'm bound to want them at some point for another project, but I'm really trying to make a concerted effort to not horde and store stuff that will come in handy one day.

Genuine Fender USA 62 R/I pups. Used but in perfect working order. Plenty of cable as can be seen in pics. Complete with the mounting foam and screws. £40.00 inc. postage, a little less if you would like to collect. (I'm in Hertfordshire). [attachment=132367:005.JPG] [attachment=132368:003.JPG]

I'm guessing that with the line up you play with, you will need two cabs.

I used my BH250 for the first time the other night at a gig level volume. Loud drums, two guitars. I was using it with two cabs and it sounded great. It did work ok with one but had much more oomph with both cabs. My cabs are Mark Bass 2 x 10"s so apologies if this post is of no use to you at all I've no experience of the TC cabs.

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1365679813' post='2042718'] You clearly did not read about the recent recall on TC's then ! [/quote] I did read about it but just thought it was generally dealt with in a better fashion than MB. Just to be clear, I'm not knocking Mark Bass gear, I love my Mark Bass cabs.
-
That's good news, can't imagine it would be a pleasant atmosphere to work in though.
-
I decided against the Mark Bass in the end, not because of where it is made, (the TC amp is also made in China) but rather because I had read of problems with repairs/service etc with MB gear in recent times.
-
Loverly Enjoy your redundancy gift. Guess you'll have plenty of time to play it now. Hope you find employment soon, assuming you want/need to of course.
-
Nice pair Nige. I like that Jazz more every time I look at it. It's made me want another Jazz, even though I'm a P bass player through and through.
-
Another of the Bass Chat good guys. We agreed a price, payment was immediate and communication was good throughout. Highly recommended.

Thanks Whistler, Hemel is not my neck of the woods. Good luck I'm sure a Bass Chatter will be along who will fit the bill perfectly. -

I fit the bill age wise but no BV's -
That's a proper mans amp Mark No mamby pamby little class D's for you.

Finally decided to go for the TC Electronics BH250. Put it through its paces last night at rehearsal and pleased to report that it is very good. Probably not the build quality of my GB Shuttle 6 but at the price I'm impressed.

1979 Yamaha BB1200 (Yellow natural) **NOW SOLD**
gary mac replied to Bobby K's topic in Basses For Sale
I'm missing my one all over again, pretty much identical to yours even down to a crack to the laquer around the jack. Someone will be very happy with this, they are crackingly good instruments. -
I would advise phoning Wizard and discussing your pup needs. It's what I've done a couple of times in the past, he was very helpful and got me sorted on both occasions.

Welcome from another 55 year older, with similar views on tapping/slapping

Bass Direct's got another RARE Precision, pricey though!
gary mac replied to Grand Wazoo's topic in Bass Guitars
Apart from the ugly bridge, I love it -
So glad it's sorted.
-
G&L SB1 well worth a look. I love Fender P basses but these days always seem to opt for my SB1 when gigging. It's passive but the pup is extremely hot.
-
That does look very handsome.
-
Let's hope the truss rod is ok.
-
Mark, I'm guessing you probably know this but just thought I would mention it anyway. Having the neck altered will possibly affect it's value as a vintage item. Probably not an issue if you plan to keep it but worth thinking about if you were planning on selling it on at some point. Maybe the tech/luthier could advise you further or maybe rout out the neck pocket. Anyway good luck, hope it gets sorted for you.

That looks very sweet Nige. I'm not usually keen on white pickguards but that just looks so right with the white pup covers. Hope you enjoy. Wonder if it will be a keeper
