Has anyone out there tried the chinese jazz sounds?

I am currently using a couple of Cort gb's one a 75 and the other a 74 ie 4 and 5 string, the eq circuit is a 2 band but I want to change them to a3 band and have used the aguilar obp3 before. I have 3 pots the first being a volume the 2nd a centered blend for both pups abd a stacked bass and treble. What I want is to loose the blend as I always use both pickups together and make that one a mid control. any ideas or experience what be good to hear, ie I take it I can run both pups to one volume pot??. Any tips well appreciated

Posted it he claimed never got . ebay took funding from my account saying it was my responsibility to get it to the seller. Few months later I checked the guys feedback, seemed like he made a habit of not paying for insured then claimed it never turned up [/quote] Firstly thankyou to all your replies , most helpful, I know the guy In my local post office, I left it with him in the knowledge that I had £20 allocated for postage but he didn't put any insurance on it. Although no insurance with offered on the listing anyway and the buyer never requested it, it was sent standard parcels due to the size and wait. Ebay has now refunded him today but no monies have been taked from my account, tell me can paypal automatically take money from my bank, my paypal balance is zero but there is a direct debit in place from my bank account to cover any transaction I may make. Will post serial number of bass once I find it.

I made an offer on monday and the seller accepted it. It was posted out on Thursday and, after spending the Easter weekend in the TNT depot in Rotherham, arrived yesterday. It's a pretty cool bass, red Sims LEDs, Headstock laser and an inlay that happens to be my initials (the other way around though! ) After being assured that the only issues with the bass are cosmetic (The paint is coming off all over the place), the frets were in excellent condition and the neck was straight I find the following: The nut is in the wrong place (Yes, those are post-it notes I put in the gap!) The frets are very low and worn. The neck is in desperate need of a truss rod adjustment. So in short, ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED!!! I took the bass to Jon Shuker out in the peak district today and he said it would probably need a refret and a serious setup. If there are truss rod problems it'll get very very costly. I also sent of a lot of emails to various luthiers to get their opinion. General consensus is that it needs refretting and a setup at the least to fix the frets and nut. I sent he seller a very polite email detailing all of these issues and suggested that he could either give me a partial refund for me to get the bass repaired or he could give me all the money back and I'll send the bass back to him. I really love the sound of the bass and I've been after a thumb ever since I started playing bass. Part of me is telling me to just get it all repaired and maybe even get it back to a natural oil finish (and get rid of those strap buttons) but another, more sensible, part of me is telling me to walk away when I still can because there might be other issues that I've not identified yet. Please advice, Basschat![/quote] If you paid via paypal then put a dispute in with ebay, you got 45 days to do this from time of sale, ebay don't care about sellers in the slightest only buyers ,wait the time it takes to go through and they will give be you your money guanteed, don't leave any neg feedback this will only fuel a fire, in other words do it after its settled.

Hi to all, I recently sold a RBXJM2 yammy bass via the bay, I sent it via royal mail to the glasgow area and it hasn't been seen since. They are less than helpful and every little thing seems to take forever with this lot. Anyway it's gonna cost me big, with a refund to the buyer plus his postage and then the nightmare of resolving this with the post office. I'm gonna stick a couple of pics on here, so please look out for it, ie you may see it for sale somewhere else, the only distinguishing marks on this is the pitting on the the chrome knobs. Ebay have no interest in helping the seller what so ever, so all beware!!!!!!!!!! Any info [email protected] or 07956 964 156 thanks guys mark [attachment=46688:_Bmjy0IQ...I0w___12.jpg] [attachment=46689:_Bmjzfk_...pgQ___12.jpg] [attachment=46690:_BmjzH1_...emw___12.jpg] [attachment=46691:_Bmj0HPQ...1eg___12.jpg]
