  3. What is wrong with my stupid brain!? The first thing I noticed is it sounds just like Cliff's Devil Women in the quieter bits. And I'm in a bloody Northern Soul band. 😂
  4. Personally I'd go for the 1024. But it really depends on what you're after, comparing active with passive. I can't explain but to me the 1024 feels more like a 'real' bass, but that said I sold my 1024 and kept my 734a, but only because I wanted the active circuit. The passive need was supplied by my 424, which having had irreversible surgery had lessened it's retail value. I suppose a real comparison would be the 734a in passive mode compared to the 1024, which I feel the 1024 wins hands down, but if you want active then there can only be one winner. I think @Misdeehit the nail on the head with the comment on character, the 1024 has it's own tone whereas the 734a is a tad generic. They are both great basses in their own right though. So, a P34 it is then. 😁 But then you have the P34 vs 2024 comparison.

  6. I have a few 'signatures' but mainly because they are great basses that you can't buy in other guises. Epiphone Jack Casady, as already mentioned it's the sensible way to own a Gibson Les Paul bass. A Yamaha Attitude, a Precision but so much more. A Yamaha BBPH, the sensible way to own a BB1200s. Actually more of an amalgamation of a 1200s and a 734a. An Eastwood Hooky Pro 6, the sensible way to own a Shergold Marathon 6. It helps that I'm a fan of Hooky, and although I totally appreciate Casady and Sheehan's music I'm not exactly fanboi enough to buy a bass just for the sake of it. All four of these basses are fantastic instruments in their own right and unavailable to buy as a non signature model or anything close by any other manufacturer. Ironically very few people outside of the bass world would link these basses to their signature players, yet pick up any generic violin bass by any manufacturer and people will say McCartney. Play what makes you happy regardless of the reasons.

  12. I realise your probably sorted now, but in case anyone else is looking Warman do a 'Jazzbar' pickup for very little money. I've not tried these but every other Warman pickup I've tried has been great, and not just for the price.
  13. Going to see Albert Lee tonight in a small hall. Whilst not exactly my 'thing', it's always a joy watching someone who has mastered their instrument and genre.
  14. At the moment this one, purely because I've just learnt it when I was supposed to be be freshening up on others and went down one of those rabbit holes. Not technical but a fun, driving bassline if ever there was one. The usual 'use headphones' applies. 😎
  15. If volume is going to be an issues then I'd personally go for an NUX Mighty Plug, just the cheaper first version rather than the newer, more expensive one. That should leave nearly £250 for a bass. Very briefly the NUX plugs into your bass with headphones then plugged into the NUX, leaving you free to roam if you feel so INCLINED. The NUX is recharged through USB and you download a phone app which let's you set up seven presets with amp models, effects etc on each preset. You can bluetooth your phone to it to play along with wherever you get your music from. Sounds technical to a noob but it's really intuitive and will let you try out all sorts of effects. It sounds very good too where most of the cheaper 'amp plugs' dont.
