  1. yes the dots are in the fretted position. Otherwise the neck feels very good EY site is still there
  2. yes my first one went wrong. Fault light and cutting out. The other night my new one starting cutting out, on stage, but I could still hear it in the outfront PA. No fault light. So I changed the speaker lead and it has been fine since. Who knows what the problem is but It's a great sounding amp. If it goes wrong again I'll get a PF800. There's been no reported faults with them so far
  3. I've got an MBcl115 and cl210. great cabs but the tweeter/horns are rubbish so I keep them turned right down. At high volume they( theweeters) just sound awful. But other than that I love the cabs. Normal rig is ampeg PF500 and the club 1x15. It goes thru the PA for more oomph. No plans to try any other cabs any time soon
  4. looks lovely. I hope you're not putting a fender logo on it (actually, I hope you are!!)
  5. I can't believe this is still for sale. These are cracking basses with masses of MWAH. I can't buy it because I've already got one. (mine hums too. I found out the other night)
  6. my first PF500 went wrong. 2nd one has been fine so far. (about 2 years and maybe 150gigs) Love the sound
  7. Got some gotohs with a smaller plate. and a US fender pickup and a 70s logo. Just going to send it to my friend to put together.
  8. [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1406234053' post='2509700'] Ghost in the machine is probably my favourite Police album. I missed out on them at the time (only 6 when they split up), but got introduced to them via my uncle and my 1 brother. We used to have a great video filmed while they were recording the album, I don't think it's available on DVD though. [/quote] If that's the monserrat video, I'm sure it's available. I'm sure someone lent me a copy some time ago.
  9. no taxes no. On the package he listed it at $20. Very pleased
  10. [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxbmL2TMcbU&feature=player_embedded"]https://www.youtube....player_embedded[/url] AC/DC drummer and Pino on the bass Can't work out how to embed the video
  11. Fretless neck has turned up. It's very good. Lovely grain and a great finish. Dots are in the wrong place but that can be sorted. Here's a picture so far. It's a Bravewood body
  12. I've got an XL2 with a plug in leg rest. 1983 I think. Fantastic bass guitar. In fact I'll take it to my Police tribute gig this afternoon. If I had the money that L2 would be mine. GLWTS
  13. My order has been shipped. It's quite exciting. I'll have to start sourcing the rest of the parts.I've got the original bridge from my '75 P bass and some 70's P bass pickups that need a rewind. And I'll need a 70's logo for the headstock
  14. the thing with custom world guitar parts is the dots are in the wrong place on the side.
  15. Has anyone used this company for any builds that they have done. Any feedback would be appreciated [url="http://www.eyguitarmusic.com"]www.eyguitarmusic.com[/url] They sell a maple boarded Fretless P bass neck. And it's cheap so might just take the plunge anyway cheers
  16. Found out yesterday that the legend 'Eric Snowball' has passed away. His shop had been around since the 60s and nearly everyone I know has bought gear from him. Notorious in the trade, great sense of humour. RIP Eric
  17. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1404392998' post='2492234'] I Put Wilkinsons in my sons P bass and think they sound quite vintage but I did prefer my MIM pickup thinking about it you may want a pup that is a touch hotter as being a fretless and if you use flats the output of the bass would be slightly lower [/quote] I've never had a mexican bass so I have no idea how they sound. There is always mex p/ups on ebay. My main 'Sting' fretless is a 70s Japan only reissue. It's very heavy but does sound good. I think it probably has US pickups on it but I've never had a look
  18. [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1404392571' post='2492227'] Toneriders are really good but maybe to "Modern" sounding for your Police Gig I would try the Entwhistle PBN that has a more vintage vibe ans is about 15 bangers [/quote] yes, I've seen the entwhistles too. I have some wilkinsons in my geoff whitehorn guitar which are also very good.
