Chuck some EMG's in the Vibe.... The pickups are weak and can feedback in a band situation, you'll upgrade the wiring in the process and the EMG's have a particular voice that seems to come through no matter what bass you put them in (IMHO) My EMG loaded classic vibe sounded brilliant in a band, easily a match for a run of the mill USA Jazz ATB Mark

[quote name='bassaussie' post='697557' date='Dec 31 2009, 08:25 PM']Right. I thought so. I've seen auctions for this seller before, although never this quantity in one go. His prices have always been pretty high in the past as well. I don't know if it's a cultural thing, but it seems to be quite common for some of the European sellers, especially Spain and Italy.[/quote] currency rate doesn't help

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='696987' date='Dec 31 2009, 09:56 AM']Heh... I'm TV-logo all the way![/quote] In the words of the RHCP "Throw away your Television - Get yourself a propper precision" OK well I made that last bit up myself

Micheal....... are you really trying to kid yourself that you don't want a 60's Precision ? These 70's things are all well and good but you know you can't beat the real thing !!

[quote name='birdy' post='695495' date='Dec 29 2009, 11:35 AM']Nope - I have a lovely pair :-) Steve[/quote] Gan on Son !!!!

Gutted I missed this...... especially as they had Frank Zappa on Bass !!!!

No Brainer !!! Get it done !!!!!

[quote name='molan' post='693224' date='Dec 24 2009, 10:59 PM']Damn - I actually got quite close to that RA5 but not quite close enough. . .[/quote] could Barrie be the first person in the UK to have a pair of Alleva's ?

Anyone bought a 751 then ? Had a few 750's and considering the 751 as my "come-back" amp !! opinions welcome Thanks Guys Mark

Hi Bubinga, my old bass....... keep it man and love it !!

OMG...... Can't believe that didn't get higher bids.... I've hear of Lane Poor MM pickups going for $500 !!! Mark

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='685583' date='Dec 15 2009, 07:14 PM']Personally, I'd go with a Walkabout... but if you like a neutral tone... it's not for you![/quote] You know what I like....... !! DB750 into your Bergs !!! OMG..... now THAT was a tone !! Hmmm...... Walkabout ? That's a thought, never heard one but quite like the design concept

Guys, I'm considering my comeback amp !! I'm unlikely to gig again in the near future but want a good sounding/compact set-up for home practice / messing about ! My question to one and all is....... What is the best sounding small compact Bass amp ? I used to have a PJB Suitcase/4b set up which was excellent for home use, but did fart out a little to early !! A pair of aggie 112's take some beating with a decent amp I've hear great things about the bergantino IP cabs too..... I'd love opinions on the IP112 If a great tone is the main criteria in a compact set-up (money almost no objection) what is my best solution ? I know i'll need to try myself...... but All opinions welcome ! Thanks Mark

Gan on Joe !! Well done bonny lad !!!

Few things compete Live with a Good Fender Jazz into a GK RB 700/1001 I've used that set up live with a U2 Tribute and a RHCP Tribute (about as far away as you can get bass wise) and in both bands the GK Kicked serious butt !! Mark

I have a pair of Grado SR80's and they are amazing.... I remember having a Fodera Monarch with a Fodera Practice amp and these Grado's Best Bass Tone I've ever heard in any environment ! Mark
