  1. I was surprised at how bright they were - they've got a real punch in the mids to them too. It's a shame they've got that annoying sharpness to the pole piece edges so many j bass pickups have - just a pet peeve of mine ;P The lakland pickups in my DJ5 are a lot darker in comparison - although I didn't compare the pot/cap values
  2. Glad you like it ;D it's a wicked bass The TRB6 is excellent, the action goes SO low - I'm so impressed with it I'm thinking about getting hold of a 5 string aswell
  3. [quote name='OldGit' post='458110' date='Apr 9 2009, 09:15 AM'] Eh? What are you studying?[/quote] +1 that sounds a bit off
  4. Hi all - I've had a sudden influx of pm's on this - I'm sorry I can't pm you all back at the moment, I'm extremely busy with work. I'm having to hold on to this for a while longer until I'm in a better position to source a replacement instrument - I'll be back in contact with people who were interested asap. Once again sorry for the impersonal notice! Cheers ;D Russ
  5. These are excellent
  6. I'm pretty sure those basses are active - have you changed the battery?
  7. I think she's a great player, with great tone and her album has some really good stuff on it but I have to agree with the ceefax statement earlier - it does go a bit too far into the realms of musak in places, and the pianist doesn't help - think baywatch I think she's great in a supportive role.
  8. What about a px for a markbass 102hf? it fits in my astra's boot and is more than good enough to gig standalone
  9. because a 2 litre diesel just doesn't cut it
  10. That's my favourite colour SR5 - I like a few marks on a bass, I don't have to worry if I add one or two myself then.
  11. I do have one but I'm not sure how keen she'd be on being re-purposed in such a way
  12. [quote name='Feelgood' post='441891' date='Mar 22 2009, 06:17 PM']Hey Russ When you say standard pups, do you mean those original to this bass? BTW, the pics are good but for great pics you really need to borrow one of Lysdexia's guitar stands! [/quote] Yep - or as close to them as I can find - I'm going to look into the economics of it - it may not be worth while. I think the cheapest you can get a set of CS 60's j pu's is about £110/120 and BA2 bridges are about £60/70 - I could probably get £70 for the pu's and £30 for the bridge - but I'd probably have to spend half of that on the new bits. I'll look into it further R
  13. I'm surprised at the lack of comments - it's a great looking bass, I even got the tripod and decent camera out to take some good pics Bump
  14. Reduced to £475
  15. Yes, indeed I am - a pm will be sent after dinner ;D R
  16. Blimey there are some crap cd's on that lower shelf
  17. I'm looking to sell my Lakland Darryl Jones 5 string - I love the way it plays and sounds but I prefer full size J bodies and am looking to replace this with a JO5 or sadowsky. Excellent condition despite being gigged - no issues whatsover - plays like a dream, really easy to set up with a low action. The best low B on a 5 string jazz I've ever heard. £800 collected or + delivery Very open to trades on a 5 string jazz - I've also got a cij 62 reissue jazz for sale - I'd be happy trading both for something if needed. I live in Egham, Surrey and work in Guildford but travel to sussex regularly.
  18. Fender CIJ '62 reissue jazz bass with fender custom shop pickups and a badass bridge. Great low action - excellent condition, it's got a few little marks but nothing major- It's fairly light aswell. I bought it off of ebay recently because I'm a dick head and keep thinking a 4 string bass will work for me - out of the 8 or so years I've been playing now, I've had a 5 string bass as my main gigging instrument for the last 6 - so for me, a bass has 5 strings. Trade wise - along with my lakland dj5 which is also for sale - I'm after a lakland JO5 first and if I've got enough money, an MM SR5 [s]£500 [/s] £475 collected or + shipping - I live in Egham, Surrey - work in Guildford and travel regularly to Brighton.

  19. I've bought quite a few albums after watching his videos - I know I'm not the only one
  20. This is why I believe every bass player should learn to play with both; [url="http://www.bassplayer.tv/?req=1&station=bvega"]BOBBY VEGA[/url]
  21. [quote name='SteveK' post='423768' date='Mar 2 2009, 10:48 PM']I don't get the "Friction/grip is good" thing. Why would you want to make it harder for your finger to get from one side of the string to the other, ie: Pluck? Liking a fairly bright and sustained sound, I would change strings every 3 or 4 shows, it tends to be 4 or 5, or sometimes 6 shows these days. The downside is that the new strings (I use Elites) tend to be a little rough for the first 1/2 hour or so of use. My remedy: Raise my fingers to my head and use a little "brow grease"...more effective than gob [/quote] + 1 + I find the same thing with elites - after that initial breaking in they're great
