  1. So the Fortress electronics that are in it now, I take it the pre and pickups are different to the oriignal standard Streamer electronics then? Is it a different sound?
  2. Looks great, good job and great basses......and a cheeky first dibs if you decide to sell on
  3. Do you know if it is a nitro finish on the body ?
  4. Allocate the jobs to ensure each band member knows what they’re needed to do - a lot of time is lost in people twiddling there fingers doing nothing. With my old functions band we used to test ourselves how efficient we could be (sounds like a mass produced Japanese outfit 😂), our best was 12 mins for an eight piece. Get efficient and you can get in anytime i.e. when the bride needs the loo
  5. First ever funk vinyl I got at 16, the album blew my mind and I still have it today! Generally didn't like the latter EWF disco stuff although began to appreciate it with age - but their first album is f.o.n.k.y. This is one hell of a Bad tune...like funk techno!
  6. Slinky on every level and a fine bit of Bootsy dirt groove on this old classic 🤩
  7. That’s a convincing faker 😂😂😂
  8. Definitely Galaxy...common but silky
  9. Thinking of trying an Aguilar AG4M pickup in my Stingray - Anyone had experience of the pickup? Thoughts?

      Well..my Aggy  AG4M is in and I have a tamer Stingray. Still retains the great classic Stingray sounds but without the extremities and a much nicer and smoother balance across all strings. Lesser top and low end but a worthy sacrifice to get better control.

  10. My apologies the write up was very red wine influenced.....reading it back I was clearly off my rocker ...that said it kind of makes some basic sense. Great pickups indeed!
  11. Wonderful...cracked it! Many thanks chaps
  12. Summary: Wow, what great pickups - totally perfect - buy them now!. Bought from some bass happy chappy on a FarceBook bass group and fitted them to my VanderEnd the other day. My bass usefully has a route for either a P or a J under the scratchplate - it's messy but useful. I've been inquisitive for a while to try it as PJ rather than the JJ jazz it's been since I got it. I had scratch-it make me both a JJ & PJ plate shortly after I received the bass and it was clearly time to try out the PJ pickguard too, cue the new pick up purchase justifications. So now the EMGGB's PJ's coupled up with my Aguilar OB3 preamp (with passive tone), has made one hell of a versatile beast and I'm loving the passive sounds too. So next strap in and prepare for the worst sound description ever...hmmm, less mid honk than the typical Fender pickups, not as dark as SD Quarterpounders on a dark night and they've made me smile more than Lindy Fralin's have ever done (which I also really like lots). It does have a very smooth sound spectrum with a sweet warm and defined low end and slightly rolled off highs...it's more akin to the 'soul/Motown sound' in my opinion but clearly this Geezer chappy is a bit of a rocker so I hear....so it must be good for that music right? It's probably the most balanced pick up I've ever used across all strings. The P on it's own is defined and warm (warm is the key sound description). The bridge J is surprising, very funky and full, not brittle like some bridge pickups...it's funky, it's a fatter Jaco, Old Gregg has blessed this pickup, (funky is the key sound description). Together they're a good compliment too, smooth like chocolate, no power imbalance - they're friends, ...(Chocolate is the key sound description here!). I like em' a lot. Conclusion: Warm Funky Chocolate!
  13. I'm unsure how to do status updates, I can read them but cannot seem to add my own -any ideas? Using new Mac & Firefox Mamy thanks.
  14. Great cabs, had one briefly. They shift a lot of air and that is a silly price!
