  1. @Beer of the Bass I forgot the best PIL album called Album or CD depending the support.
  2. The instruments were made by the brand named Sound of Sweden, which was a branch of FBT that made the Hellborg amp line too. You forgot the Dogal Hellborg Perfect Pitch Signature strings @itu. 😉
  3. So Jonas Hellborg gets the glittering price...
  4. He played with: John McLaughlin, Shawn Lane, Bill Laswell, Tony Williams, Mattias IA Eklundh, Buckethead, Trilok Gurtu, Michael Shrieve, Ginger Baker ... and Kollektiv was one of his project as well as many others... Plus another 15 or more albums elsewhere in the house or on other shelves. I'm a big fan...
  5. The pickups were provided directly from Fender USA, so they had cloth wires. It was also the Dan Smith era, so all was way more rigorous than under CBS or even Leo Fender supervision.
  6. This one has American CTS pots from 1982, which seems quite logical as it's a stacked knobs, so now you've seen the 3 variants.
  7. The pots on the P-Bass of your mate are American CTS, but the codes to date them are under the solders... Only the very first examples of the JV series had American pots, but they were branded Fender and not Squier.

  9. @rhokuza, your bass wasn't made the same day, only the neck was, so you can't compare the two basses as they may be different models. 😉
  10. That's good for sure.
  11. Sad news, my deepest condolences to the family.
  12. High distortion amps, just kidding. It's, in a very simplified way, a class C and a class B amp working together, giving a better efficiency at the price of added distortion, but if they managed to control the distortion, they can indeed become very powerful...
  13. Okay, I get it. I would say no as quite often these contain huge amounts of sugar. I prefer to use these extracts as gemmotherapy (buds therapy) as it's way more efficient. This is the brand I use as gemmotherapy, and you only need 5 to 15 drops a day: https://www.easypara.co.uk/blackcurrant-bioes-30ml-herbalgem.html
  14. As I wrote, if the shielding is not fully grounded, it's totally useless...
  15. Sorry I don't get the second phrase...
  16. Humbuckers are supposed to be wired in series. Your body is acting like the biggest antenna around and if your shielding isn't fully grounded, it's totally useless, meaning you'll still amplify the local radios, electrical parasites, routers, anything with a PWM supply, neons, ...
  17. That's correct too, but those were all the real JV's first years, so 1982 and up to somewhere in 1983, then they switched to fully Japanese stuff.
  18. Everything depends on your type of 1982 Jazz Bass. Is it a JV series? When yes, only the pickups were American, so indeed with cloth wires, but the remaining wires were mainly plastic types, but sometimes fully cloth, hey, that's Fender. I own a 1982 Squier JV Stratocaster that still has the sticker on the pickguard saying "Pick up made in USA". When no, the pickups were Japanese with only plastic wires all over. The pots on yours are Japanese period correct models.
  19. Russ, the Christie's live auctions are worldwide, so my thought implies the same coverage meaning it must be a worldwide action.
  20. To me these delirious prices paid are simply the proof that solutions to definitely solve starvation, poverty and in the end all problems in the world do exist: Tax these wealthy people a lot more than they are and redistribute everything as nobody needs to own millions of grounds.
  21. The four last items got the 100% hammer price, so £100000.
  22. You can add black currant to your list, an excellent natural anti-inflammatory, stronger than turmeric that you have to use with black pepper if you want it to have an anti-inflammatory effect otherwise it will only turn everything yellow and that's it.
  23. And for those interested, the link to gear's list with their selling price: https://www.christies.com/en/auction/jeff-beck-the-guitar-collection-30401/
  24. Some people really don't live in this world... https://www.youtube.com/live/lOYPOgbDzvc?feature=shared
  25. In fact, these pickups are the same as the original ones with the visible magnets, only the casing is different. 😉 @itu I also still have this EMG magnetic viewing film that was kindly offered to me by Rob Turner himself when I said I was desperately trying to buy one during a Frankfurt Musik Messe way back in the late 80's. Great memories. 😊
