    Sorry - I meant in terms of hum noise, buzzing, etc. it's very shielded Glad you've sorted it and you're happy. Again I apologise that a tired partner and tired and unwell tot meant I couldn't spend as much as I would like

    Very glad that you're happy with it, Mr G. Hope the truss rod tweak sorted things out. Lovely and quiet bass, isn't it ? It was sitting next to my desk all day whilst I waited for mr g to come over and my work colleague was very, very jealous of it. But then he's from the dark side so what can you say?

    You can buy p bass pickups on eBay very cheaply. I got one out of a classic 50s model (a £700 model) for only £8. You can always sell tjhem on if you don't like them

    You need to check resistance also - less ohms is better. Check from bridge to earth pin, from pickup shielding to pin

    [quote name='ead' timestamp='1372402856' post='2125219'] According to some a Fender cake would have been better [/quote] Only if it was a relic cake or was made in a factory in the 60s by bored Mexicans using worn out tooling Fine piece of cake work there

    You know how someone says something and it reminds you of a story ? That's how it works for me - a song spills out like a story (well 70% of it anyway ) I then forget to write it down or tell anyone and it disappears into the ether

    If you have an offset mortgage like I do, get a 0% (for a period) card, put the money to pay off your purchase in a bank accoutn linked to your mortgage (or save it into there) and then pay off the card when the time comes. That way the mortgage gets the beneift

    I got the bass doc to build me a better "old" fender using similar spec components to the time (1973) and its awesome. Simple and they work. Even non players think they look good

    [quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1371876185' post='2119038'] As KingBollock says. I use a Zoom B2.1u which produces a great sound. I think most effects processors these days will allow use of headphones. Zoom B1 is cheap as chips or B3 if you want a few more bells and whistles. [/quote] The b2 and b3 have basic drum machines built in also

    If its as good as some of you seem to think I had best hold on to it for a bit - couldn't afford a new one, that's for sure

    It's the solder version and works a lot better with a new battery and some idea of what the switches do, for which thank you al
