Cheers for the suggestions I will try some of this stuff tonight. I used my P last night and it sounded a lot better. Should I ditch the Fender for the Squire?

Fun gig last night. Lower Bell in Chatham Got there at 6.45 didn't sound check, went on at 8 played with my P-bass because my Jazz is playing up but damn that Squire can rock I might put some higher output pups in it and gig it more. Played a half hour set, watched tyranasourus Alan they were great, ordered Nandos went down and picked it up ate it at the pub. Screwed around with the Alan boys (was very funny) went home Jobs a gooden. Not holding out much hope for tonights gig to be too much fun.

I present the Punk bass On/off switch no volume on tone to bugger round with and 2 strings 1 is missing at the mo.

I want a hot woman in my band too

I have found a good sample of the tone I want but all I can find on youtube is a bad quality version. If you can hear it or know the song and know how to get as close to it with my amp that would be awesome From 2.47

Punk fest in London. Sound was crap and got paid vegan food.

I'm not going to use it in a live situation I just wanted to know if there were any good basslines that incorporated the B for fun. Cheers for the suggestions guys.

Flobots - Handlebars Hip-hop Jazz beat is awesome I'm no musical snob I love this sh*t

Jacksons Lane in Carmarthen absolutely awesome when I lived there I spent most of my free time in there.

I have had a 5 string for a week but haven't used the B string yet so as the title says suggest me something

I think there could be something wrong with my Jazz, when it's plugged in it sounds fine then periodicly loses all tone. Where is the first place to look?

Cheers man I have earthed it to the jack plate now seams to have done the trick I'm going to try to gig it tomorrow

I just put the switch in the bass is sounded lovely but it is buzzing really bad I have run a wire from the bridge to the earhing point on the switch. the buzzing stops when I touch the metal part of the lead. What have I done wrong I can post pictures if needed.

[quote name='SteveK' post='276626' date='Sep 3 2008, 11:57 PM']I don't even use the volume control...I should just have an on/off switch. Steve[/quote] Bought a switch this morning and I have taken the pots out I'll let you know how it works.

Finally got a good pic of my rig (ignore the Ashdown head)

Awesome Played Beacon Court in Gillingham which is one of my favourate venues with Wonk Unit and Tyranasourus Alan 2 of my favourate bands. We were on first did a 30 minute set I couldn't get my amp to sound how I wanted but my playing was as close to flawless as it has ever been so I was well happy every song we did was cheered and we had a pretty big crowd for a Thursday night. Then came Wonk Unit, now if you have never seen Wonk Unit before they are a wierd mix of dirty London Punk and f**ked up poetry started with theis poem "I work, I am a horse I have slightly rough hands and pain in my eyes You`ll find me in the rain tears rolling down frozen stubbled cheeks Grey skies above taunt me of fresh miseries to follow. The crow ragged,bleak, poised on whithered branch Barks, Mocks. Come on everyone Let`s all bark at the f***in donkey. This Donkey of the damned." Played a great set and Alex (the lead singer) brought me down a new skateboard deck, sweet T Alan (the bass player is a BC'er ) They were absolutly brilliant with the addition of a trombone to there horn section Great night and we got fuel money

Hawian shirts, shorts and our own band T shirts underneath, damn we are a cool bunch

[quote name='johnnylager' post='277607' date='Sep 5 2008, 09:43 AM']I thought that until I wired the pups in series a la Precision with a series/parallel switch. It's not a precision, but it's much more punchy. And only one volume control to hit when your hand is flailing.[/quote] I put some Fender pick ups into my Punk bass last night sound awesome at a glacing listen but I didn't get long because we were in sound check so that might be the way forward

As long as "amp" isn't a euphemism, sounds good. Where are you based?

I played with mine last night everyone said it sounded great but I didn't think so I'm thinking it's not the amp it may be the bass a Jazz might not be for me I wish my P special wasn't stolen loved that bass so much

[quote name='marcus bell' post='277498' date='Sep 5 2008, 12:45 AM']ANYONE GOT ONE???[/quote] Had one loved it to bits but then it got stolen now I'm sad Here is me with it.

I brought my race head home tonight to see if I can fix my tone at home but I don't have a cab here. Can I plug headphone in without a cab? would it damage the head? If it won't do I plug into the effects return as I don't have a headphones socket on it? Cheers

Good call didn't notice that. Where would I put it I don't understand? (sorry bit stupid) I wired it in before sound check at a gig to9night it is a bit high,can I put the capacitor in without putting any pots in?
