    [quote name='jonthebass' post='387242' date='Jan 21 2009, 10:23 AM']I thought Duff has been using Fender Custom Shop made Jazz Specials for years now?[/quote]


    I'm no fanatic, but his original Black and White basses were off the hook Jazz Bass Specials. One I believe was sent to him to 'try out'. He had new pups dropping in and I suspect they had a fair amount of work done on them over the years too! - I have read about the 'custom shop' thing before.. but I don't think that is totally true.. Maybe the basses were known as 'custom shops' before they were released to the market as 'Jazz Bass Specials'. Another assumption would be that the two original basses *aren't* the ones he has now.. and these 'replacements' are custom shops, as the original Jap JBS basses aren't made anymore. Maybe there is some clarification out there on the net from Mr McKagan himself?

    [quote name='Raggy' post='387145' date='Jan 21 2009, 09:14 AM']I heard something along the lines that the Stranglers management approached Fender to make one but they they refused.

    Heathens ;) :P[/quote]


    On a related note, I was somewhat surprised to see the 'new' Duff McKagan signature basses are nowhere near as nice as the original Japanese 'Jazz Bass Special' that he uses. I bought my original Power Jazz Bass Special - a 1989 model for 200 quid from the US.. the new signature one I believe is a lower spec MIM costing £500. I think i'd rather buy another Jap model as it will be far close to Duff's original.

    [quote name='silddx' post='384935' date='Jan 19 2009, 01:32 PM']Having fun yet? ;)[/quote]


    Oh god am I!! - Didn't really get a great deal of time with the unit yesterday... However, it is very obvious that this tool is a very powerful piece of kit! I have been playing with the Dual amp paths and effects for guitar so far.. Bass later on.. I can actually see me using just this and backline/IEM's if everything goes to plan! You'll know the outcome when a lot of nice gear comes up for sale! lol lol

    Expect a review of sorts soon!

    [quote name='BigRedX' post='384005' date='Jan 18 2009, 02:31 PM']Anyone here going to try to sign up to test the rig? I would have though there's at least a couple of bassists here with the kind of profile that TC are looking for...

    I'm going to drop the artist relations peeps a line.. I have been using TC gear for years now and still havent found anything as good as the TC G-Force.. and it is, in terms of how fast technology moves, a rather old piece of kit!

    Make a 1KW version TC!!!!


    On the subject of the MultiBand compressor on board, I already own a TC C300 compressor.. and the Bass Compressor on there is the BEST i have ever heard and used. The EBS MultiComp is good.. but this one is awesome. The rack unit is idiot proof, you set the main dial to the type of instrument you have plugged in (including full mastering sources for example) and then tweak the settings. The compressor chooses what mode it should be in for that type of music (Multi / Full band) and also is one of the very few compressors on the market with parallel compression built in.

    Now.. if that's the compressor on board this amp... it's going to be seriously good!

    [quote name='Veils' post='382063' date='Jan 16 2009, 09:29 AM']It's well worth it. His basses are absolutely brilliant. I was offered endorsements through Warwick and Spector with 50% discounts and to me, it still made more sense to get Jon to build mine. There is the luxury of having the time to wait to save the cash and not to mention the fact that the bass is built totally to your spec. When you add to that the fact that his work is second to nothing that I personally have comapred it to, it's a no brainer.

    Also Jon is an absolutely top bloke and totally helpful and isn't afraid to take on a challenge. For instance he informed me that he had never done an LED backlit headstock before, but was more than happy to do it on mine.

    Seriously, if you are thinking about going with Jon, either go to his workshop or contact someone in your area to arrange to have a play. It's well worth your time ;)[/quote]

    Likewise, + one billion million trillion gazzillion bajillion....... very proud endorser!!

    Using the classifieds

    Hey all,


    Yeah, it is difficult to moderate the Classified forums. It's not a job for the feint hearted! - It would be great if bumps were kept to a minimum - As the T&Cs kinda suggest. But then, it appears that quite a few people don't read them.. or forget them.,. or don't care as it's 'not like they have to pay for the use of the classifieds or anything' etc etc.

    I don't think Ped and CK want to see the classifieds broken down into smaller subforums (like, one specifically for effects, one for amps etc) ... but it could help with alleviating the high turn over of posts as everyone wants their posts at the top of the page.

    Whilst we're on the subject, I'm glad to see there has been less trouble on the classifieds recently. I saw quite a few people getting narky on posts at the end of last year.. This forum works really well, whilst everyone is civil and friendly. I don't think the admins want to start imposing fees and extra T&C's to keep things running smoothly.

    I was simply told 'The electronics have been improved' by one of the tech guys. There's certainly a difference in the switching/ bypass circuitry and the newer version has additional gain stages for the line level/ instrument level output. I've not had either open to take a look at, so unfortunately couldn't comment further.

    [quote name='Fraktal' post='379670' date='Jan 13 2009, 08:59 PM']Dood, could please link me those reviews? Im very curious if my impressions about this unit are shared by more people, specifically the quality of the compressor. You know, sometimes trying to be fair could be complicated, we all have personal tastes that might affect the final evaluation.

    Thank you very much![/quote]


    I literally just googled 'Pod X3 Live Review' and found several links, including the usual Harmony-Central stuff. I believe others have mentioned the Compressor. Both PED and I agree, as we both loved the comp on the Pod XT Pro. Stupidly, I sold my rack.. but I am feelin' the love over the Dual signal paths, as this is a philosophy that I have always followed in my bass gear. Two signals mixed together, one dirty, one EQ'd clean. Doing it virtually makes sense to me, as I am always pulling my rig to bits to try new things. It will be fun to be able to slot a new 'amp' in the signal path just by hitting a button! My routing options at present come from mixing inputs and chains on my TC G-Force. If the X3 really is as good as it describes, the TC could well be staying at home! - Certainly, the UX-2 interface with POD Farm sounds awesome and I know that my guitarist Jamie used the UX-2 to lay down guitar parts for one of the BioMechanical album releases and then reamping in the studio. The X3 can do the same for me and will prove to be an invaluable live and studio tool. Found out yesterday the X3L will slot right into my flightcase perfectly! Dammmmmn.. does that mean I have to spend some money now! lol

    I'll chime in quickly and say that I still really love my Markbass F1 / Aguilar GS112 combination for quiet rehearsals. I was amazed at the first bass bash when I heard Alan (NiceGuyHomer) using an LMII with 2 GS122's.. I wouldn't mind giving two Gs212's a go together either!

    Lookin' forward to hearing the review!

    Hey Daniel! Thanks for the PM and the review. Very much appreciated. You have certainly picked up on some points that had been mentioned in other reviews I have seen, but wasn't aware of the broken screen issues!! That's rather alarming and yes, as you say unfortunately a plastic case isn't so good as a decent metal one. I currently use a rack system with a Roland FC200 foot controller. The controller is a metal construction and even after a good few years shows no battle scars.. just needs a bit of a wipe clean!

    I'm wondering if keeping the X3L in a case will help protect it, or if I should be looking at getting the pro version in a rack. Kinda put off with the enormo' 3u rack size tho... Hmmm.. something to think about!

    Other than that, I have been using my Line 6 UX2 and love it. The sounds comin off it are great and would love to replicate the dual sound possibilities live.. the X3L being the obvious choice. I don't really fancy messing about getting the 'bean' into a custom rack case either.

    Thanks again, plenty of food for thought there!

    Hey everyone.... I'm tempting myself to grab the Line 6 X3 Live... Anyone tired it, now that it has been out a while? I'm looking for bass related reviews!
