    Welcome from West Kent, Andy! Can't go wrong with a P bass and a Rumble, looks like there are a fair few 'find band members' type sites out there now, so good luck and have fun

    [quote name='richardjmorgan' timestamp='1497607457' post='3319425'] Cheers for all the replies guys, lots of helpful stuff here! I like the look of that Aguilar Tone Hammer 350 on ebay – looks very easily portable! Is 350 going to be enough wattage for me, through a decent-sized cab? On the subject of cabs – a few people asked – I'm planning to be either using what's in a practice room/venue, borrowing, or hiring for the time being. So playing nicely with a variety of cabs is deffo something I'm after in an amp. [/quote] The TH 350 will deliver 350w into a 4 Ohm speaker load: but half that into an 8 Ohm load. Details in the pinned 'Impedance' thread if you need it: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/135-impedance-etc/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/135-impedance-etc/ [/url] Bass response will be improved by having the cab (1) on the floor (2) near a wall (3) in a corner, so try repositioning to taste. The ability to hear your playing will be dictated by the volume of the rest of the band, and speaker dispersion. The best cabs disperse sound better so that it can be heard from the most angles; a good single speaker cab (e.g. a 1x15") will disperse very well. Tilting the cab to point towards your ears will help. You may also find you hear yourself better being further away from the bass cab than you may think. The high mids/treble will be what 'cut through the mix' , i.e. help you get heard, for which the TH 350 tone controls will be a great help. Finally: if you're in the volume wars, ear protectors (that still let you hear the music) are well worth considering, e.g. [url="https://www.flareaudio.com/collections/isolate"]https://www.flareaudio.com/collections/isolate[/url] Good luck!

    Just bought Jamie's superb Xotic XP-1. Terrific chap who went the extra mile - in fact, extra 60 miles! - to deliver it in person. Bass was just as described and plays like a dream, and Jamie was friendly and communicative throughout. Cheers!

    I've just had a similar grounding issue on my P - even though the earth wire from the pot was splayed and sitting under the usual BBOT. Possibly it was the pressure of the bridge making the strands sink into the paint, and reduce electrical contact with the bridge. So I scraped back the underside of the bridge plating to expose some copper, so that I could get some solder to stick. Then I braided the earth wire, and coated it with solder, and finally soldered the earth wire to the solder on the bridge. Which fixed it

    Just in case it helps, I was the original owner who specced it from Sandberg (via Bassdirect) and then sold it to Ash: original sales thread here has some pics inline from the time it was sold. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/238324-sold-sandberg-california-vs-p-bass-klopmann-pb63-pups-gold-hardware-now-l650/page__p__2490416__hl__california%20vs__fromsearch__1#entry2490416"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/238324-sold-sandberg-california-vs-p-bass-klopmann-pb63-pups-gold-hardware-now-l650/page__p__2490416__hl__california%20vs__fromsearch__1#entry2490416[/url] Terrific growl from those Klopmanns! And a very easy transaction with Ash, deal with confidence

    Was just having a lunchtime browse for '62 precisions, and spotted this original: More gorgeous pics here: [url="http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/1962Precision.html"]http://johnkvintageguitars.homestead.com/1962Precision.html[/url] Sadly not for sale otherwise I would be swimming the Atlantic as we speak...

    Eek, highly tempted to have a dark board partner for my sonic blue maple limelight P! Scott Devine has featured (and praised) his Moollon P on videos recently, e.g. https://youtu.be/YarWwi7gRqI GLWTS!

    I'd LOVE to see the state of the case.

    [quote name='Tonci' timestamp='1493125879' post='3285825'] Ok now? [/quote] Great, thanks! Love those clay dots and the rich red...in fact maybe you'ld better make the album private again
  24. Kevsy71
    Hi Tonci, please can you check the Flickr album permissions - looks like it is set to 'Private'. Cheers

    [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1489070068' post='3254149'] [url="https://www.newmooninsurance.com/"]Newmoon[/url] are very reasonable, and very personal. I've been with them years now, but I've never had to claim, but I have confidence in them thanks to their reputation. [/quote] Same here. One general problem is remembering to update insurance when GAS strikes!
