mr pablo

Having read Peter's review of the booster i decided a few weeks ago to take the plunge and put one in my mid 80's mij fender P, to cut a long story short i ran out of wire when installing it and had to strip all the controls from the bass as i had some recording to do, fast forward a few weeks via my LGS and i have got my Pbass back today with a wizard thumper pup, stacked vol/tone and villex booster installed and i must say i have struggled to put the bass down since i got back from picking it up, i went with a stacked 500k pot and the extended treble has brought the bass to life in a way and i have found all 3 boost positions very pleasing to the ear and like Peter i'm loving position 3 on the booster with the tone fully open. It is a great piece of kit and for the money i'm well impressed with the versatility my bass now has to offer. Nice one Villex

looks pretty cool man, congrats

That looks almost as good as my Pbass Steve black/black/maple is my second fav combo

Cheers guys, she's currently at my LGS getting a new wizard thumper pickup fitted along with a villex booster i bought, i pick her up tomorow so i'll post update pics then

Flame me now but there is a behringer copy of the FZ-2, blatant rip of IIRC, maybe a cheap option and if its any good rehouse it?

I've had a go on the smaller practice combo and thought it was good enough for the cash (I likes the marshal sound), although not seen the bigger ones yet but for £279 doesnt seem bad for a 300w expandable combo.

[quote name='ahpook' post='77868' date='Oct 22 2007, 08:52 PM']there is a mod to raise the output of the sansamp..[/quote] Ahhhhh Any links on how to do it or who does?

[quote name='G-bitch' post='77837' date='Oct 22 2007, 07:16 PM']Yes, works just fine - although you'll either need the newer version with the higher (line level) output, a sensitive power amp input or something to boost the level if it's the older version.[/quote] cheers for that, if its an older one i get would something like a MXR micro amp or such other booster in the chain after the BDDI be sufficent?

Dunno if this is in the right place but here goes, well i've had a go of a sansamp bddi and i like the tone i get from it, and was wondering if anyone had used it with a poweramp and used it to either reherse or practice with? It seems like a good back saving/space saving idea to me or am i talking rubbish? Help

Well after recently having a long hard think about my basses and in search of my sound I sold off my two basses and picked this up from thedontcarebear. Its a 86/87 MIJ fender precision bass, I added the black scratchplate as I'm a sucker for sunburst/black combos and its now strung with D'Addario half rounds (55-110). Bass wise I'm 100% gass free for the moment, although a matching jazz would be rather tempting [attachment=2997:P4.jpg] [attachment=2998:P3.jpg] and one of it as i received it, [attachment=2999:Pbass.jpg]

I just bought an 86/87 MIJ P bass from thedontcarebear on this forum and like beedster I'd give it a huge +1, to me the MIJ Pbass i now own knocks the socks of most other fenders i have played (mainly MIM and MIA's) I got it for £289. well chuffed

[quote name='ARGH' post='76755' date='Oct 19 2007, 09:58 PM']Think of me in the next month copeing on a 9!![/quote] Hows the work progressing on the 9 dude?

Bought a fender Pbass from Adam, nice smooth and easy transaction like it should be top bloke

[quote name='The_D' post='72456' date='Oct 10 2007, 10:38 PM']This thread is not helping my GAS at all. I need a new cab and cant afford that. Now I am itching to drop a pair of these in my Jazz! Between Basschat and talkbass I am sure I am gonna end up bust by the end of the year![/quote] Tell me bout it Bob, I've not even got my Pbass yet but i'm gonna get a thumper for it when i get paid

I had a go of the tour 450 in soundcontrol in edinburgh a month or so ago and it sounded pretty good to me through the peavey 1x15 it was hooked upto. didn't have much time to have a propper play about with the octave thingy but for less than £300 with pleny of features it gets a thumbs up from me.

[quote name='Geddys nose' post='72099' date='Oct 10 2007, 12:10 PM']Didn't someone on here get a Wal for about 300? you dream about things like that.[/quote] I saw a Wal in the kirkcaldy one fro £600 a few years back

I'm sure Alexclaber is getting them on his RIM custom

[quote name='The_D' post='67109' date='Sep 28 2007, 08:35 PM']Well I meant none of the above that I had mentioned I agree with Bohemian Rhapsodie being pretty dang un-coverable![/quote] I think you lot should give that a bash 2moro night Bob can just picture it the now
