    Needed some new Elixir's for my 5 string so this worked perfectly - thanks for the heads up much appreciated!

    If it sounds like the outboard pre then I would be well up for that! [quote name='Darkstrike' timestamp='1330453183' post='1557795'] I've heard a few guys on TB recommend the Sadowsky pre as being similar sounding to the Musicman one before. Can't say for sure, but it may be worth a shot.

    Do they do one for a Stingray then? [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1330442706' post='1557537'] sadowsky on board preamp sort you out then? you already know you like the sound.

    Because I only like to use the pre-amp for boosting the sound for slap sections where you need a little more bottom end. I only keep it on all the time with the passive jazz as it needs it all the time. Like an earlier post I really like to try and control the sound from the bass rather than playing with the EQ on the amp which I tend to keep flat anyway. [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1330441742' post='1557519'] why turn it off then? [/quote]

    Can you fit these into a 2 band Stingray? [quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1330364062' post='1556278'] I have the Seymour Duncan one (in two basses), and it is ok but I much prefer the John East MMSR one (of which I have one and I'm about to get another) The MMSR bass/treble sounds a lot like a 2EQ preamp, but I felt it was a bit "tighter" somehow. Not as boomy and not as trebly. In addition, the midsweep module is what really sets this preamp apart. Being able to sweep and select what midfrequencies to boos or cut comes really handy. Most of the times you don't need a big boost/cut, but it is very helpful, and with the sweep control it is a breeze to find just where to apply the boost/cut you want. I really like it. It seems to be on teh expensive side, but well worth it in my opinion. [/quote]

    It just sounds a little lacking sometimes! I use a Sadowsky pre-amp and when you turn that off and go back to the bass only it sounds rather weedy!! [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1330359904' post='1556199'] I think Beedster meant pre not pup. What's lacking with the stock pre that can't be sorted with a bit of shaping at the amp end? I'm sure the East adds something but the stock pre suits my SR5 pretty well IMO ... [/quote]
  7. Gunsfreddy2003
    Correct me if I am wrong but on the East site they only seem to sell the pre-amp but no PUP?? [quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1330355523' post='1556075'] My East Stingray PUP blew the stock MM version out of the water, a way better piece of kit [/quote]
  8. Gunsfreddy2003
    Thanks - will check it out. Does it give you a lot more depth to the tone from the bass now? [quote name='ahpook' timestamp='1330354111' post='1556036'] i put a [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/bass/music-man/electronics/stc3m3_stc3m4_f/"]seymour duncan musicman pre[/url] in my sabre and really like it. might be worth a look. [/quote]
  9. Gunsfreddy2003
    I know that East make a highly recommended replacement pre-amp for jazz basses and they appear to have something similar for a Stingray on their site but does anyone know if this offers a much better sound than the stock pre-amp that they ship with or anyone else who makes a really ballsy pre-amp for a Stingray?
  10. Gunsfreddy2003
    Snap!! A real bargain looking at what mine cost me!! [quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1330223643' post='1554380'] Really sad to see one of these go at such a low price. Would be worth buying as an investment alone! If I had the cash I'd snap it up at this price - And I've already got one! [/quote]
  11. Gunsfreddy2003
    As mentioned before take it to Eltham, you won't be disappointed.
  12. Gunsfreddy2003
    Are you sure about that? If it is a '73 then surely the finger rest would be below the G string given the earlier info on the link that was put in the thread earlier? [quote name='clarkpegasus4001' timestamp='1329852880' post='1548612'] Yes, it's me who is buying it! thanks Tony! I am a very lucky man. Oh, and it is a 1973 Jazz bass not 1974. Pots also indicate 1973 serial no' 502*** indicates 1973. [url="http://home.provide.net/%7Ecfh/fender.html#serial"]http://home.provide....der.html#serial[/url] [/quote]
  13. Gunsfreddy2003
    Is this still for sale?
  14. Gunsfreddy2003
    Nice work - must be bang on the changeover. Even the thumb rest on the later 74's is in the wrong place as I need to be plucking near the bridge for them funky tones!! [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1329846081' post='1548444'] Looks like that was right around the time they moved it. I think It was down below so that you could rest your fingers on it and play with your thumb, which was what Leo F originally envisiged electric bass players doing.

    + 1 to that. Never understood what use a thumb rest was down there!! [quote name='cameet' timestamp='1329845812' post='1548433'] Don't have a clue Gunsfreddy2003 - that's where it was when I got the bass some 32 years back. There aren't any extra holes so I don't think it's been moved and it's in a useful place where it is.

    I have a '74 jazz but the thumb rest is underneath the G-string - when did they change the positioning?
  17. Gunsfreddy2003
    Might help you to know that I can get my rig (only using 1 x 1x12 cab though) and board, bass etc easily into a convertible 3 series BMW and never had any complaints yet about the noise that I can generate at rehearsals or gigs!! [quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1329676113' post='1545723'] Right, potential change of transport incoming - not confirmed but if it happens, I will need to shift my stack and downsize considerably. Not too fussed as the new motor will be a sports car lol... Anyway, I had a few folk PM me before re some of this gear, and I still have those PMs so fear not, they will not be forgotten....however, I may have the need to sell: EBS HD350 Korg DTR1000 tuner EBS NEO 212 with cover EBS NEO 15 with cover The head will come either in the EBS rack box. OR if someone wants the head and tuner, it can come in a GATOR 4unit rack case. All in superb condition, and obviously I can do pictures. Like I say, I did have interest in the 212 and the head before, so these enquiries will be revisited, but if anyone wants the whole thing, it would obviously be easier for me to sell the thing complete. Nottingham, any trial etc. It's the business. Prices would be in the region of HEAD £400 in the EBS box 212 cab £400 incl cover 115 cab £400 incl cover DTR 1000 £60 Head and tuner in Gator case £500 All based on cash, and collection from Nottingham, but contact me for other arrangements. Also interested in trades - smaller rig, small combo, BF Midget..you know the type of thing. I know nothing will sound as good as this stack, but there we go, needs must, or indeed needs MIGHT. Trades with cash my way please. OK, away we go. [/quote]

    Did he sort the jack output for you too? Do you have web address or contact number for him - looks like a smart mod to the board. [quote name='bottomfeed' timestamp='1329581395' post='1544509'] Nah!.... I got Martin Bailey [i](the remaining Bailey Bro in Bristol)[/i] to sort the power this time!... The Jack is the output, my input is the compressor, which routes either straight out or through the chain via the looper... Martin took my old Rocktron power supp (wall wart style) & adapted it to run through the IC socket. ...it was one of these originally..... He also put a LED in my Colorsound fuzz for me... tidy! [/quote]
  19. Gunsfreddy2003
    I presume that the power and jack input were put in place by yourself - interested to know how you do that? [quote name='bottomfeed' timestamp='1329533706' post='1544040'] Latest incarnation...... on a pedaltrain-1 [/quote]
  20. Gunsfreddy2003
    Quite possibly the tidiest pedal board that I have seen in a while - nice work.

    I would highly recommend Eltham Jones at Edge Guitar Services - he works out of Bristol a few days a week and did some sterling work for me earlier this year on my '77 Stingray and 2011 Stingray. Link is below: http://www.edgeguitarservices.co.uk/about/

    Good point and I have to admit that I have been quietly tempted by both recently - I am playing a lot of 5 string at the moment and may try it. What do they cost? [quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1329496664' post='1543444'] The tiny pedals easier for me to carry around than a Auralex Gramma Pad Also as Jarhead mentioned, speaker efficiency. [/quote]
  23. Gunsfreddy2003
    [quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1329496421' post='1543433'] For me, using smaller cabs, a tighter bottom end, everything seems more focused with more headroom when running louder. Reminds me a bit of the Auralex Gramma pad - it makes sense but you have to wonder if it makes enough sense to shell out the money on! I set it up in a A+B loop when testing it at a gig and it did make a difference for my sound with the gear i'm using.

    and the perceived benefits to us as players is? [quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1329495955' post='1543422'] It's a very steep highpass/lowcut filter. Essentially cutting all the sub sonic frequencies that either you can't hear/your amp tries to amplify/cabs can't reproduce. [/quote]

    What exactly does the Thumpinator do? I am struggling to understand! [quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1329495040' post='1543398'] Not everyone believes they are worth the price, there has been massive threads about it recently. It works for me, and does what i bought it for. With the price, there's no other product doing the same job in such a small unit, the price is the price. Volume pedal, tuner & reliable DI box is tbh the essentials. Synth pedals? No need, you (& I) play keys & own key synths. Switch between them is effortless if properly set up with volume & patches. Never been asked/or had to use chorus. Never actually had the need for a overdrive/distortion. IMO, an EBS Microbass II, tuner & volume pedal will cover all your needs. I know thats the EBS is the only thing on my shopping list atm. [/quote]
