Chiliwailer

Sold my 66 P Bass a couple of years ago, but was lucky enough to buy the same one back recently and it's just as I remembered. Couldn't be happier. Sold a 70's Music Man Sabre years back and later regretted it. Then bought another one recently and it's great, also just as I remembered. Thing is, we all know that 2 basses of the same make, model, year etc. can have their own tone and mojo, so whereas I got lucky with my Sabre being the same model and just as good, your Yammy sounds quite different, especially due to the electrics. That's a common issue I reckon.

The 'reverse engineering' was a 'fortunate accident' whereby I accidentally stood on the wrong foot switch whilst still recording. [/quote] Absolutely love it when that stuff happens, like jamming with the cosmos! Great tune btw

Found some time and spent today making a tune. [url="https://soundcloud.com/user-382247502/journies-end"]https://soundcloud.c...02/journies-end[/url] (Edited 19th May)

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1494532736' post='3296837'] No one else composes? [/quote] Haven't found anytime yet this month to do anything, mixture of a heavy workload and my health issues. I'm away with work next week so it's not looking likely for me

As above. Could be an internal fuse? Valve amps can have them in addition to the regular obvious one, hence the standby light being on.

You're an 80's kid, so how about representing the new tech 80's with a Steinberger L2 (Mullet and rolled up jacket sleeves optional)

[quote name='miles'tone' timestamp='1494077040' post='3293059'] Yes, been there too. Careful what you wish for and all that! Me, I'm 1972 so ideally I'd love a 72 fretless Precision but they are a bit too pricey for me now. I've seen a YOB Fender Tele bass which is doable, but I fear I may not get on with just the one neck mudbucker. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for one that has already been bastardised with a second pickup (cheaper and more versatile) - if anyone sees one... [/quote] How about a 72 Musicmaster and defret it? Players ones can still be found cheap and early ones can have a great mojo. I used a 71 Musicmaster Bass solidly for a few years with a PJ pickup combo, sounded excellent and to the point that a decent Producer I did some sessions for said to me "make sure you bring that bass!". It would have made an awesome Picollo bass, and I had plans for that but then I was able to use long scales again following an injury and sold it to buy a vintage Fender long scale. Would have been a very cool bass to keep back then if I could have.,.,

I once spent years looking at every jack plate on a Ric 4001 looking for 'RC' as that's March 1978. Eventually found a lovely Autumnglo bass with RC, and soon realised that owning a Ric wasn't as much fun for me back then as GAS'ing for one

[quote name='Defo' timestamp='1492425805' post='3280100'] Left with a Vintage Deluxe. This happen to anyone else? [/quote] Kind of, but not.., . I had a B3K, which is a damn fine pedal, but always felt it was 'too much' for me in terms of versatility and power. Just swapped it for the vintage microtubes and it instantly suits me better. Both are killer pedals though.

[quote name='isteen' timestamp='1493983982' post='3292354'] I use a Darkglass Vintage Microtubes as an always on mild drive. Does any of you use anything in combinstion with it (reverb, chorus etc.)? [/quote] I just got one of these lovely pedals and have enjoyed using it subtly with an envelope filter, very nice.

Just sold my bass to Andy, given that it was a reluctant sale I'm chuffed that it went to such a good guy. I had previously bought a bass from Andy, so now I can say that for buying, selling, drinking coffee with and shooting the breeze Andy is highly recommended

[quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1493989956' post='3292425'] On an incredibly [b]rear [/b]colour? I take it you don't like that colour then! [/quote] Lol,

I just did a pedal trade with Dan after answering his advert. It's the first time I've done a straight swap trade and Dan made it nice and easy with friendly and prompt communication, service and honesty. Highly recommended. Cheers for the pedal!

Based on this http://www.guitarhq.com/fenderc.html that colour was discontinued in 1969. Still got a bad feeling about the originalality of the finish, especially as you hardly ever see Poly crack like that... and on an incredibly rear colour too? Mmm......

That one smells very dodgy Colin, you're right to be weary. I wouldn't ever call myself an expert, but having seen a large number of vintage basses I'm convinced that the finish and overall vibe doesn't look right at all for an original finish. I'm fairly sure that 71 seems late for a SFG, and custom colour plates were mostly white back then. Hope you still have that lovely '69

Another perfect transaction with Davie. Top bloke as always

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1493723814' post='3290108'] No free time this month (medical matters that'll occupy most of May...), so here's mine, whilst I still can...

Hope you all enjoy the picture, it's Antelope Canyon in Arizona, and a precious place for the Navajo. Though I'm sure the picture will also throw up some other great inspirations.

[quote name='Bucksend' timestamp='1493573097' post='3289189'] Hi all, I'm sure I read a post about this yesterday but can't find anything on it now! Looking for a pair of headphones for practice, don't need to be amazing, just do the job. £50 MAX, any advice? [/quote] Here's the thread... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/293348-headphones-good-for-practice-what-do-you-use/page__st__30__p__3155821__hl__panasonic__fromsearch__1#entry3155821 The cheap Panasonic Warren (Hiram) and I recommended now seem to be discontinued, and the last pair I got were utter sh*te compared to my last two pairs

Picture sent to General Skol...
