I am still interested

Mmmmmm metalflake red with matching headstock, body binding and RW board. With a B. I would struggle to not buy that.

I have one. I initially got sucked in by the aesthetics, then one appeared on here in a pic of something else for sale and one thing led to another............. I really like it. The killer blow for me is the sensitivity knob. I am useless at turning sound into words but it just makes the sound more vibrant/3D/dynamic. I like it enough to shift a Demeter, Alembic, REDDI and and Aguilar on (it would appear that I have issues). That is not to say that the sound I like is the sound you like but it is doing it for me at the moment. I had a small tech issue with it and Jule's customer service - remember, this is to someone who bought it second hand so he has not seen a penny from me - has been WAY beyond the call of duty. It has just been stellar. I cannot speak highly enough of it. It is a quality pre from a quality company.

Sound

I asked Andy about a bespoke job recently and he said that he was not doing them for the forseable future.

I recognise that bridge! I have one in black from Canada. The piezo element on the D is not quite seated properly which is a pain cos it is quieter than the rest. Did you have any problems? Thanks

Shiny! Mmmmmmmm

16 posts into the thread. I am disappointed that no one has discussed how hard it is to play after drinking for 24 hours. This has been a real missed opportunity.

I bought an Adrenalinn specifically to do that and then............. ummm........... didn't. I am now not doing it with Mainstage and a Macbook [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1361023688' post='1979917'] Thanks! It's not actually delay but a MIDI controlled filter opening and closing as the last note of the phrase sustains. And yes it's completely impossible to do without using MIDI synchronisation and a click for the drummer. That recording was actually done with just a couple of loops and some extra programmed drum hits, but we did play it live with one of the loops separated out into it's individual drum sounds and triggered from an electronic kit.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1361010126' post='1979648'] Here's one of mine. [url="http://www.myspace.com/sugarboxmusicbox/music/songs/love-junkie-5620019"]"Love Junkie" by SugarBox[/url] This is a fairly accurate picture of the sort of music and basslines I was composing back in the late 90s. It starts a bit dubby and ends up as a manic filtered "synth" sound. It was all done with my Overwater bass going through multiple MIDI controlled effects. It's even a mix of finger style and pick playing. [/quote] I have always wanted to use a delay on bass live to create that pulsing effect but never trusted a drummer to hold it together unless there was a click involved. I love the way it drops off at the end of the phrases at the beginning - it really opens things up. Really nice use of texture.

I am loving the colour scheme and would happily have a Jazz painted just like that. Dangeroulsy I am having a J5 built at the moment!

Some nice stuff on here. I do not hugely enjoy listening to myself because I annoy myself when I hear my personal cliches etc but sometimes it comes together [url="https://soundcloud.com/owen-lloyd-evans/12-nos-da-mam"]https://soundcloud.c...s/12-nos-da-mam[/url] The first was recorded in a local studio where my DB sounds better than anywhere due to the lovely ATC monster monitors they have and the fine Neumann they put on the bass. One day I will own a pair of ATCs for my house. What was gratifying was that I managed to control my urge to play more than I needed to and just rumbled along at the bottom. It is self-control which is sadly lacking in much of what I do What usually happens is that I get comfortable playing what I had intended and look for ways to spice it up. Sadly I do not have the Pino "taste gene" so inveriably have to apologise 30 seconds into playback, turn on my heel and go in to do it again https://soundcloud.com/owen-lloyd-evans/sunshine This was done at home and the structure of the bass line ebbs and flows nicely. Nothing is more important than structure of a line for me, if I had the chops to play fast weaving complex chromaticisms around a vocal I would use them at all times obv, but if the line did not breath with the song I would just get angry with myself. This was one of those lines which you chuck down, feel that it is going well but get more and more nervous as the song progresses incase you mess up. You get to the end with the feeling of "phew, I might actually get away with that!"

Thanks. What I am doing is putting single J pickups into MM cases. While I am at it I will also put half a P pickup into each case. I will have two MM cases each with a J and half a P in them. These will then be wired so both halves of the P pickup think they are in one case.

I have a bass which had a MM humbucker in it. I do not get on with the MM thing. I have taken it out. I like J pickups and P pickups. My intention is to rout another MM pickup hole in it and get two J pickups in MM covers into it. While I was thinking I thought about putting half a P pickup in each case as well so that I could have either option open. My one problem is that if I have a 1/2 a P in each case then it will push both J pickups out wider - closer to the bridge and neck. I know that some people love the 70's bridge position etc etc etc, but with both J pickups on, how much difference is it really going to make? I never use the bridge pickup soloed.

Good job on the B3!
