    I think Geddy bought the Jazz because it was only $200. He must have liked it tho.

    [quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1460574638' post='3027006'] Really? What sort of cosmetic changes? [/quote] I swapped the bridge and control plate for black ones, spray painted all the pickgaurd screws black, stuck on a cheeky EBMM Stingray transfer and replaced the tuners with a set of Schallers.

    As I play in an acdc covers band, I thought I had better get a Stingray of some description. Not having the cash to get a "real" one, I bought a Sterling Sub in black and maple and after a few cosmetic changes, I have to say I am well impressed with it. A set of flatwound Chromes are winging their way from Germany and will be going on as soon as they arrive.

    I have the same amp into 2x Mi bass 12" cabs, rated at 250 watts and 8ohms each. It will be dinky doo!

    [quote name='Horizontalste' timestamp='1459180826' post='3014180'] Yamaha Bb [/quote] Plus 1. The best sounding P basses with a Jazz pickup thrown in. I own a BB 1100s and a Nate Mendel and to be honest, the Yam sounds better. Imo of course.

    After trying to find a half decent singer for the last few months, I`m convinced that the most of the people on Gumtree, JMB etc are dreamers and/or plonkers. Age is no barrier for the disillusioned. Agree with putting an advert in yourself and don`t give up as there are some decent people out there. It`s just trying to find them!

    And another bump

    I know it`s a bit of hot topic the now but my HB PB 50 is really good. I have used it in the studio and when practicing through the Zoom B1 with headphones and it does the biz. I`m sitting here looking at my Nate Mendel P and thinking that for my uses at the moment, the HB would do the job.

    I bought this amp as a back up last December but have now ordered a new amp so this one is surplus to requirements. It was a B stock item but I cant see anything wrong with it, it works perfectly and there are no obvious marks on it. It didnt come in its original box so maybe that was why it was B stock. Its big, its heavy and kidding itself on its a Ampeg. I used it in the studio a couple of times and it sounds ok. I would keep a hold of it but I don`t have much space so it has to go. Collection only from Paisley or my work at Kinning Park in Glasgow. No trades or offers. It cost me £80 so I reckon the price is fair. I dont have a picture of the amp as my camera is playing up but it looks the same as the one in the picture. [attachment=214707:BVT4500H_front-45e701f922111ec155acee64604873ed.jpg] Sod it. I`m gonna keep a hold and try and hide it somewhere out of the wifes way. "Yes dear, I have sold the other amp."

    Cheers mate

    How did you get the right shape for the head? Have you got a cheeky template? Or did you just guess it like a bodger like myself would do?
  14. jezzaboy
    Looks good especially the gold pickgaurd. The Wilkinson tuners fit perfectly and are decent if you don`t want to spend a wad of cash.

    The Knack, my Sharona. Bloody brilliant tune. Bought it on 7 inch back in the day and still sounds cool.

    Weller looks shocking in that pic. Isnt he only in his late 50`s? At least Ronnie has an excuse!

    Mostly listen to You tube on the laptop these days as I have a bloomin fast Virgin Media broadband. Sensible volume levels through the small JCV speakers or as loud as the Yamaha micro system will go through the headphones. All my cd`s are on a hard drive as mp3`s. I used to be a lover of high end hi fi for years but I ended up concentrating more on the quality than the song.

    Here is a few pics. I had to spray paint the control plate with enamel paint, stuck on the Motorhead sticker as there is a big gap and in the future, I will get a custom transfer for the headstock. Sorry about the quality of the photos. Re the MM pickup, if I am flush at some point, I will get it done by someone who knows how to use a router [attachment=213756:SAM_0882.JPG] [attachment=213757:SAM_0883.JPG] [attachment=213758:SAM_0885.JPG]

    I got mine last Friday. Just had to lift the bridge a couple of turns and it was good to go. As above the tuners are fine but I`m not sure about the sound of the single coil pickup. I was going to replace it with a MM pickup I have but to get this done would cost as much as the bass so that is out the window the now. The guitarist with the £3K Les Paul was impressed with the sound, especially when he found out the price! I have since replaced the tuners, bridge, knobs and screws with all black hardware and it looks the biz. I changed the parts as I had them lying about not because the original hardware wasn`t up to the job. Is it worth the money? Well I have owned several Squiers that cost 3 times as much and this is as good as them.

    I take it it`s the one on Glasgow Gumtree? The guy has been trying to shift it for weeks. Nearly bought it myself. There is a black one for sale in a Glasgow pawn shop but he is looking for £399 for it! But I think there is a US version, possibly with a thru neck, so it may be that or he is just a chancer.

    Thats cool as I run it in the red sometimes.

    And Thomman do their own versions of Ashdown gear for £125 delivered. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ashdown_1x15_bass_cabinets.html"]http://www.thomann.d...s_cabinets.html[/url]

    I have used a MAG 300 head since 2005 not the Evo version and, touch wood, it hasnt run out of headroom yet. I play in a loud rock band and run it with 2 x MI 12 cabs. Add a 2x10 or another 15 to your set up and you will get the full power at 4 ohms. I`m sure I read a quote from the Ashdown guy on here who said that the meter running into the red wasn`t a bit problem but don`t quote me in that

    Once again GAS has struck! But for once, it is cheap GAS!! I have ordered one of these and am going to fit a Wilkinson MM pickup that I have knocking about, in place of the single coil. Well thats the plan at the moment.
  25. jezzaboy
    You cant add an extension speaker to the BG as it runs at 4 ohm with the internal speaker. I run a MAG 300 head into 2 x MI 12" cabs for larger pubs and 1 cab for small places. Its a handy set up for me. Never tried 2 combos running at the same time but would be interested in the result.
