Very nice! The Fender logoed ones are the rarest of the bunch.

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1392557039' post='2369958'] 100% the TFR is special - though is not in stock at prymaxe in the states either, but they always have a discount code, and it's cheaper (even with tax) to buy FX from that store that via UK dealers, at least in my experience!! [/quote] And *cough* you probably won't get any customs charges ordering from them!

I assume it was this one that ended today? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Squier-JV-57-precision-rare-first-series-/171240590482

Keep an eye out for items that end just before payday, in the middle of a workday, with local pickup only, and you shall get a bargain!

Was watching it - £641 Is a very good price for a first series with the Fender logo in such good nick! I was also watching a couple of other basses not far from me that I didn't bid on - a Classic 50's P went for £281 and a Roadworn for £485!

I recommend the Status half-rounds for fretless, smooth as flats but with a bit more bite to them, cheap too!

Yes! Or just get the Mojo Hand BMP-1 from the classifieds if it's still available, which is pretty much the same thing.

That would be these, for the tidy sum of £6! http://www.dv247.com/guitars/fame-bass-guitar-strings-45-100--201102

There's probably one or two factories that churn out all the cheap strings for cheap Chinese basses, so you could get lucky very quickly, you never know!

"Just for extra protection, I put three shocks in, so, you know, when I play the bass, it's so powerful, I just wanna make sure the bridge stays straight." WTF I think the bolts should do a good job of that by themselves mate.

[quote name='mart3442' timestamp='1392389222' post='2368068'] [b]Never found one I was happy with. They all suck the low end. Billy Sheehan is right: To retain proper bass tone with a pedal, you need a dual amp/pickup rig....[/b] [/quote] I own / have owned plenty of drive pedals that but only do not suck low end, but actually increase it!

Look up the cheapest set of strings you can find on eBay - probably those!

Must be a good amp if Gandalf uses it.

Team Awesome Fuzz Machine is awesome! Heavy low end on that mutha. I want to try the You're Doom, Diabolik, and Duality... If anyone wants to do a short term swap to be able to sample different fuzzes without spending any cash, I'm up for it! Spread the fuzz love.

Saw the post this morning, it looks like it's been sped up (but clearly hasn't)! And for those that don't have Facebook: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8eUyaF_RcI

Not the Dunlop one! Mine whines a bit when it's on, but most of the noise comes from the actual PSU itself rather than out of the speakers! Diago 18v adaptor tips can convert 9v to 18v but I've had troubled history with them, first one lasted well over a year before it decided to become a 6v adaptor, I got a free replacement which died within a few days, the one after that played up also after a month or so. I ended up receiving one of the old models with a second SFT that I picked up here and that one is still going strong, so it looks like the older hand made jobs are faring better than the newer Chinese manufactured ones (although of course I could have just been unlucky!). This one should be good although does not have a right angle tip: http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/18v-dc-regulated-power-supply-7-p.asp There's an EHX one too, but don't get that as the polarity is wrong for the SFT: http://www.effectpowersupplies.com/18v-dc-regulated-power-supply-7-p.asp

I have the OFD. Some great sounds in it, the low gain drive of the Tube Drive model in particular is a contender to replace my SFT!

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1392213249' post='2365993'] We sell more Squier jazzes but more Fender Precisions... Go figure lol! [/quote] Younger, cooler, more cash strapped = Jazz Old farts with lots of disposable income = Precision I have a Precision.

I believe the consensus was that whilst they may have coloured ball ends and be made by D'Addario, they are not the same strings as Chromes.

There's a Meatsmoke amp in the classifieds too by the way!

Great, let us know how you get on as I've never actually tried it with an LS-2 in practice! But bass into the input, then the Taurus into the channel B return should do it. Then you have channel A to control clean bass volume and B for the synth.

I see more J's than P's being played live (from big bands to cover bands), so I would guess slightly towards the J? Interested to know though!

Bear in mind most mixers won't work well with a passive bass being plugged straight in. Blend pedals like the Boss-LS2 can be used as mixers also. Just ignore the send outputs on the pedal and plug the Taurus into the return socket.

Get him to play bass instead? Nobody will notice then.
