Live in Newcastle with Soft Machine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WujmIPIEVY

Brilliant Nice to see the most humblest musician on the planet get some air time I've read as many Jonesy interviews as i could over the years, because the bloke is just fascinating, as well as been totally unique. One could pick his playing out from a 50 man bass playing lineup. This guy should have been world / planet famous and rich while he was still with Soft Machine because his unique style a-la- Brand X didnt start with Collins, Goodsall et al. I smiled at the old interview of PJ in his early days of de-fretting a bass only under the G string, ( used i believe on the track Running On Three ) before getting his first fretless P bass with a paltry sum advanced for Brand X's first album. Goodsall apparently bought a fur coat with his paltry sum PJ also built his own ( we call them flangers today ) pedal ( i believe he actually is an electronix wiz ) but it was back in the days of yore, and he had to cool it down with a peltier system. The sound from this thing changed according to how hot it got. It can be heard on early Brand X If ever the word genius could be applied, i'd apply it to that man Have some..

Couldn't be simpler - ta job done !

Sounds reasonable ! If its any help, they came out of a twin pup german Streamer Standard, pre Rockbass streamer.

Just about to slot a pair of the passive MEC ( humbucker size ) pups into my bass, but they have the least amount of wires on a humbucker i've ever seen One white wire surrounded by some braiding . White is hot and braid is ground, presumably ? Seems weird for a humbucker. Of all the hummies i've ever owned, there's always been a pair that needs twisting together ( presumably for series output ? ) plus one hot and one ground Unless of course, despite looking like , and the size of a humbucker, its just a single coil ? arggg...

Paul bought a pedal off me, with payment as quick as you like, and top notch comms. A real trooper 11/10

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1405944887' post='2506737'] By the same token one shouldn't go after an electric bass rig with flat response to 30Hz. If you get it you'll probably regret it. [/quote] Even if you use 5 or 6 string bass ?
