    I played to 7 people last week and my Rebelhead TC450 was way loud!

Even when I play basses with "broader tonal possibilities" (I also have a Wal and a Goodfellow) and actually USE them, it usually turns out that I'm the only person in the room who notices the difference.[/quote] I really like the crunchy tone of my Alembic (think 'Enter Sandman', which was recorded with the same model as mine I believe) and was a bit disappointed when I played this recently at a pub gig and a BCer in the audience said it sounded just like a Precision!

    "Decal" is dignifying it - it looks like the words 'Jazz Bass' were written on in black permanent marker pen!

    [quote name='Legion' post='941779' date='Sep 1 2010, 10:06 AM']From a "bass you will use perspective" does one of them talk to you, inspire you and let the creativity flow? if one of them does... I'd say thats a keeper. It seems a pretty vague outlook but I really have only found one bass that keeps me coming back to it in this way and thats the Pino (so far!). If they both feel like that - lucky boy [/quote] Hmmm. The 72P gives me that inspirational factor but it could be because my brain tells me its a vintage Fender and its what I salivated over as a kid. The AC is a better playing bass with broader tonal possibilities. Push comes to shove I guess its my 72P but they are both cracking instruments.

    I will keep this FS until Friday and then withdraw as I'm really not sure I should be selling it! Boutique-tastic bump!
  12. Clarky
    Sold pending the usual

    Good lord - what an amazing number of desirable Fenders! Which ones do you still own?

    On hold for a potential buyer

    Thank you Chris, your voucher for £20 off a new Jazz bass is in the post! Just weighed the bass and it comes in at 9.52 pounds

    [quote name='BurritoBass' post='941145' date='Aug 31 2010, 05:34 PM']Somewhere between Sid, Dee Dee Ramone & Paul Simonon it all makes sense...but it does rather go against the punk ethos if everybody is the same. I guess someone truly wanting to be punk these days would play a Hohner Jack bass! Now there's a thought[/quote] or an Alembic (like I did at Gosport Punkfest 10 days ago!)

    [quote name='BurritoBass' post='941141' date='Aug 31 2010, 05:29 PM']bump for This Thursday night at The Grey Horse, Kingston upon Thames, South London. We're on earlier so tubes home shouldn't be a problem.[/quote] Afraid I doubt I can make it Tim but, just in case, what time are you due onstage and how long is your set?

    [quote name='BurritoBass' post='941122' date='Aug 31 2010, 05:11 PM'] I'm not one normally to find joy in others misery but I just love the idea of playing a punk all dayer & everybody having the same bass.[/quote] Its become something of a uniform these days, I suspect due to the white Squier that was launched a couple of years ago. One gig I did a few months ago, all four bands had white P basses. So much for individualism! Mind, I can't talk - I made Sid into a Clash tribute bass

    [quote name='Quatschmacher' post='941059' date='Aug 31 2010, 03:45 PM']Sorely tempted. Been looking to get one of these for a few years now. In fact I came close to buying this last time you put it up for sale but was looking to get one with the stock pickup. I'm dithering whether to get this or shell out the extra for a newer one or the US version that someone has listed here. I just put up an ad for one of these a couple of days ago and now have £350 sitting in my Paypal account after selling my piccolo and a vintage sax mouthpiece this weekend. Just enough for the bass and a return to London. Clarky, any chance you could post pictures of the rest of the bass, front and back? Are there alternatives for the pickup? Not so keen on the cream. :snob: [/quote] I will try to get some more pics up tonight. You would probably have to swap out the pickup if you didn't want cream as its a DiMarzio and I am not sure whether a cheapo ebay black plastic pickup cover would work (the pole pieces on a DiMarzio have screw-able endings, so they are not like standard black cylindrical magnet endings). You could pick up a P bass pickup on BC (eg Wizard, or Fender) for probably £30-40 and sell the DiMarzio for maybe £30. Cheers Clarky

    [quote name='dave_bass5' post='941046' date='Aug 31 2010, 03:21 PM']Cheers Clarky. I must admit i have no idea what most of the 3rd party jazz pups sound like so i need to do a bit of reading up on them. I dont want to spend a fortunes on them though so Nordys, Fralins and the higher end pups are out.[/quote] Drop SiBob a PM, Dave. I think he has tried several types of Jazz pickup, including UltraJazzes
  24. Clarky
    Not sparkly in my view, Dave. More like a more punchy Jazz, with no hum (as they are humbucking). Good for rock IMHO

    [quote name='Happy Jack' post='941037' date='Aug 31 2010, 03:06 PM']Chris, I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I am. [/quote] To be fair, it was covered in Utterly Butterly at the time
