    I have here a Squier Matt Freeman sig P in vintage white for sale, in very good condition except for a tiny paint chip in the neck pocket area (pictured) and some very mild buckle rash on the back (couldn't even photograph it, it's very shallow dimpling). These are similar in spec to the Classic Vibe basses, except this one has a maple neck, and the frets are a bit different - instead of thin and low, these are wide and low (in comparison with the standard medium-jumbos used on most Fenders which are wide and tall). These cost a bit more than the standard CV range, cheapest online price is currently £373. I'm after £230 if collected from St Neots, although I can deliver anywhere in the UK for an extra £15. UPDATE: I will be working in London 28th Jan - 3rd Feb, so can meet anywhere central (ideally Kings Cross, London Bridge or Waterloo). Here she is: [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/squier/series/artist/matt-freeman-precision-bass-maple-fingerboard-vintage-white"]http://www.fender.co...d-vintage-white[/url]

    [quote name='iconic' timestamp='1389642999' post='2336516'] i've both vmj and cvj and i have fallen out of love with the classic vibe....lovely thing but i prefer the sound of the vmj...seems a bit more...i dont know a bit less smooth and more bite than the cvj...the cvj seems duller for no apparent reason....the cvj does cone with a fatter cap could be why or the pup spacing maybe? [/quote] Same thing with the P's, I think it's partly due to the use of 500K pots in the VM rather than the usual 250K, not sure if the Jazzes are the same.

    And now for something completely different: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At3OP5CvIRY[/media]

    [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1389616986' post='2336090'] The 2008s were improved by graphite rods in the neck, and they also removed the S1 switching that had been in the previous series. I believe the outer layer of paint/whatever was also thinner to allow more resonance, plus there was the addition of a hi-mass bridge and lighter tuners. Saying all that though, it`s now been sold. [/quote] Graphite rods were introduced back in '95!

    No mention yet of the Barefaced 69'er! The way it's designed should in theory mean it's easier to hear yourself clearly both on stage and around different points in the room too. Also it's by far the lightest option!

    I'm just about to sell my black 415 if you're interested btw!

    You should contact Aquila about getting a set of their new red strings. The Aquila dude has brought out a 23" scale bass and made these strings especially for them: http://www.shortbassone.com/?cat=4&lang=en Also La Bella are working on a set of their new transparent tapewounds designed for these type of basses too!

    They're working on making a version of these strings for the Kala U-Bass and slightly longer scale Gold Tone Microbass too! http://facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=599411316794481&id=127487373986880&set=a.143713709030913.30725.127487373986880

    Top notch build quality there! Half a neck pocket: Wonky neck plate:

    I thought the DFA1979 distortion sound came from an Acoustic head? If so you can definitely get that in pedal format!

    Never been to the shop (yet), but interested to know what Mark's 'views' are that everyone keeps hinting at? Judging by the fact he doesn't stock any Fender or Ampeg apart from used stuff, perhaps he's more into modern sounding gear, tweeters, and clackety-clacking?

    I do enjoy playing this with my Team Awesome Fuzz Machine: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_4gD8oXJ4I[/media] And this one with a Boss ODB-3 which is what they use live too: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asC24XhcoO8[/media]

    D'Addario EXL158's are a bit heavier on the bottom, designed for baritone scale guitars tuned B-B. So with the shorter scale, C standard should be no problem, strings might be a bit tight up top in drop C though with 13's:

    I've got the 5 string version, you won't be disappointed!

    In search of dirt

    Brimstone Audio XD-1 sounds right up your alley if you dig the B3K: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f36/fantastic-dirt-pedal-xd-1-brimstone-audio-1036494/

    Looks good, I play through sealed cabs so not too concerned about the low end roll off - but it would be better for me if the cab sim was switchable so it can be set to only affect the XLR output.
  20. dannybuoy
    You might not notice it if you use the VLE control?
  21. dannybuoy
    I really want to try a TTE. I never got on with the Streamliner myself, sounded too gutless and compressed and was constantly fighting the EQ - the Orange Terror Bass wipes the floor with it IMHO!
  22. dannybuoy
    Sounds cool, make it adjustable though if you can! Other alternative pedals with a built in high end roll off I know of are the Tonehammer (with AGS engaged), Diamond Compressor (controlled by a jumper inside the pedal), and the Markbass Super Booster (using the VLE control). I always ended up using a VT Bass set as flat as possible with low gain when running fuzz through a PA.

    Good god I would love to own this. Totally can't justify it though. What does she weigh out of interest?
  24. dannybuoy
    I've been meaning to check out a Neunaber Wet or Strymon Blue Sky, these are meant to be the top pedals for the shimmer sound. Can't argue with the price of the Mooer though!

    I saw a thread a long time ago where someone removed the tweeter and crossover entirely, hooking up the speaker full range. I think that'd be your best bet, you'd probably get a bit more high mids that way. You could look out for a 121H instead which has a better tweeter and a slightly larger box for more low end!
