[i]HI Guys[/i] [i]Hope someone can help, i had an Audere pre installed in my jazz a couple of months ago, however i did not get an oppertunity to test it out as my amp is not kept at home, (that an a heavily pregnant wife keeping me busy ), I had a show a couple of weeks ago, and had to retire the jazz as since the the new pre was installed it has developed a very bad crackling sound while playing, it sounds a bit like somebody squashing crisp packets while im playing, as i bought this pre 2nd hand i dont know if theres a probem with the pre or if the guy who has installed it has not earthed it properly, has anybody any ideas, before i call the tech as i cant afford spending anymore cash on this bass ( especially as i became a dad again last week ) could it just be a case of dirty pots? it happens when i turn the knobs but also while playing.[/i] [i]thanks loads everybody for any advice[/i]

Just bought a radial bigshot from this fine gentleman, and a flawless transaction all round, great comms, quick delivery, nice piece of kit in A1 condition, very happy, oh and mums the word, after recently purchasing an EUB and a new octave pedal, I didn't run this purchase by the boss -

Hi Pete Really enjoyed the gig last night, my the B on that roscoe is thunderous had to dash during the encore as my new daughter was born two days ago and didn't want to late back in Bolton, will catch you again next time-all the best

I've got a Washburn AB10, that's about £350 ish new, and going second hand for about £200 ish, great bass for the money, tuners are a bit cheap, but a lovely skim neck and the pre/piezo sound good plugged in, slim body too, but needs an amp, I have black nylon labellas on mIne and it sounds great or indeed the much nicer AB 20/30 sometimes come up on here.

Gave me a fright when i started reading this thread, ive known Howard for 20 years, and a finer gentleman you will not meet, i thought he was ill for a mo

I've got labella. black nylon strings on my washburn ab10 , they have a lovely warm upright like tone and very clear too" and I find they have plenty of volume unplugged for practice, but most acoustic basses need s bit of help anyway

I bought. Jon's stagg eub,exactly as described fantastic comms and a pleasure to deal with,thanks Jon I'm lov ing the stagg so far
