Why dont you undo the saddle, remove the height adjustment grub screws and turn the saddle over then replace and adjust screws? I have the same Medium scale P-bass in ( faded ) White. Will.

Bass Merchant are selling some ex demo TC cabs at bargain prices here ( see other items for sale for other cabs ) [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TC-Electronic-RS210-Bass-Cab-Ex-demo-bargain-/220705707024?pt=UK_ConElec_SpeakersPASystems_RL&hash=item336315d410"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TC-Electronic-RS210-...=item336315d410[/url] Will.

Just bought a set of strings from Clarky in a nice smooth easy transaction -- -----Top class guy to deal with Will.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1008072' date='Nov 1 2010, 01:21 AM']I was a bit disappointed that the video doesn't show anyone actually playing one of them. I'm assuming they are nice basses though if they get play time amongst your collection (judging by what I saw a couple of years back when I bought your Hartke head).[/quote] Hi Kev. Yes its a shame there are no "action shots". --- Maybe if we put some comments on the Youtube listing they may take notice. I have put this up for sale on the forum twice, but withdrawn it because it is too good to get rid of! Sold my other 2 short scales (Gibson SG Supreme and Fender Mustang ) Both really good basses but the Landing is better! Will.

Just found this Ad on Youtube for the amazing hand built American Landing Basses ( Im prejudiced cos I have a superb Sunburst 30" scale L1 ) [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDXd_wDvIkQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDXd_wDvIkQ[/url] Will.

[quote name='dave_bass5' post='997944' date='Oct 23 2010, 12:23 PM']Im pretty much decided on one of the above. Im not really sure what to go for, although im more in favour of the Thumper (due to its name). I dont really want a hot pup, certainly nothing like a SDQP. I was just wondering if anyone has experience with both. I know certain people on here use one or the other so i would also like to hear from them. Also anyone (like Neil) who has upgraded the stock CV P. How different did it sound to the stock one? For what its worth im playing standard covers, no metal but a lot of 60-70's stuff, as well as current songs. I know it sounds like the Trad is the way to go, having that vintage vibe etc but if the Thumper has more thump, that also appeals to me. I also love Fralins so if anyone knows which is closer to one of those then thats the one ill go for. Im really only interested in Wizards at the moment (unless anyone has a Fralin for sale). Cheers.[/quote] I have the Wizard Thumper in my Aerodyne ( Along with a Dimarzio model J. bridge pup ) and it sounds awsome -- Its my favourite Gigging Bass at the moment, I also have a P-bass with a Kent Armstrong Vintage Alnico that I rate a very close 2nd to the Thumper. In my opinion both the Thumper and the Kent are better sounding than any of my other Fender P pups ( including my 1978 P-bass.) If you are in the Leeds area at any time you are welcome to try them out for yourself! Will.

[quote name='Ancient Mariner' post='990455' date='Oct 16 2010, 06:23 PM']I've had a couple of these, and they work well: [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=35016"]http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=35016[/url] 30 quid now, but they put them on 'special' at £10 every few months - worth a look to see if they're cheap in the store. The tip is quite fine (although it certainly doesn't feel like a 50W iron) and the variable temperature is nice. Cheap fixed temperature irons can be badly regulated and get much too hot, burning the solder and overheating components.[/quote] I have had the Maplins one for about 4 years now and it has been excellent - gone through quite a few bits but they are very reasonably priced! Will.

[quote name='ezbass' post='978880' date='Oct 5 2010, 09:56 PM']I once fitted DiMarzio Ultra Jazzes to a USA J Bass, very nice p/ups and humbucking too, vintage with a bit of edge to them to my ears. I later added an East J Retro.[/quote] I did the same with mine but fitted the DiMarzio Model J`s and a East J Retro = Massive tonal range! Will.
