    J+P in one?

    So, because I seem to have too much time on my hands I am thinking about basses. What would be nice would be a J with a P pickup as well. So far so good. However, what I would like would be the P pickup to not be visible - aesthetics and all that. If I routed the back of a body so that I could have a P pickup [i]just[/i] hiding beneath the surface of the body would it function properly or is this just another stupid idea in my huge catalogue of stupid ideas?
  2. Japanese made Squier J. 3 T sunburst, black scratchplate. Good nick, few dings which I will picture later. I am struggling to price this (selling on behalf of someone else). It is a Japanese J without the magic big "F" on the headstock but it has the "S" which makes is an "F" really - kind of - you know what I mean. It plays nicely and does all a J should. I am not sure about the age so will get onto that this evening. I will say £290. I guess the market will decide. It comes with strap and gig bag.
  3. I have a Realist and a Fishman Platinum Pro pre-amp I am about to put up for sale. £90 for each if you (or anyone else) is intersted.
  4. Big power stages = big tone. Sad but true.
  5. Pickups. End of. I have had expensive basses squeal. I have had cheap basses squeal. I have had SC basses TOTALLY shielded. Still squeal. I have had HB basses squeal. We have one in church so I get to experiment with this every week
  6. The whole concept works for me.
  7. I just want a J5 in black with matching headstock that has been reliced. Or one in Oly White. Is it so much to ask?
  8. [quote name='njr911' timestamp='1350421329' post='1838749'] I'd love a Bravewood. Old guitars are just nice objects for some reason. And the closest I can afford these days would b a relic. I have been fortunate to own a 61 jazz master but wouldn't want to take an irreplaceable guitar to the pub. [/quote] I had a Bravewood P and have an old J finished in Nitro which is well knackered. The Bravewood pushed all my old Fender buttons completely.
  9. I'll take both the Yam humbuckers. PM me the PP details. Ta.
  10. I am not for a second dissing the small and lightweight thing. I have totally signed up to it and could not haul those two cabs around even if I wanted to. I am not looking at a neo vs heavy scenario. It was just exciting to have a wall of air moving. I'm sure 2 lightweight 2x15" cabs would do exactly the same thing.
  11. Last Friday I was messing and hooked up a TF750 to a Warwick 6x10 and a Boogie 1516. Much as I love the whole concept of small and light and super xmax and all that stuff, it really is not the same as lots of speakers pushing a lot of air
  12. ALLRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
  13. I might well be wrong, but does this not do 2 Ohm as well?

    Owen - Feedback

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1329917855' post='1549658'] I have fancied one of Jule's preamps, and here he is posting in my feedback. Is it a sign? Should I just buy one? [/quote] it was a sign so I bought one.

    I am leaving super positive feedback before I even get my cables. That is how good Dave is! You knows it.

  17. EA cabs. Lush lush lush.
  18. [s]ABM Piezo Chrome - I figure 18mm spacing but will have to get my son who can actually see in mm to confirm this. No screws - £90[/s] [s]Badass V in black. Already slotted for 17mm. Inc screws £55 - prob gone. Queue of three but waiting to hear back from 1st[/s] 5 string bent plate barrel saddle no screws - £10
  19. If the nicer pickguard comes back on the market can I have first dibs?
  20. Variable impedance ("loading knob"). I wish more people did this. Really useful tone control kind of thing with passive basses (+ Piezo).
  21. So, what register is this playing in?
  22. Mmmmmm............ matching headstock!
  23. [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1349177550' post='1822741'] if the room is tricky or the FOH EQ isn't up to scratch, it's nice to have a para EQ and a notch filter, too. [/quote] Tru dat. However, in the past I have used all sorts and needed to back of various frequencies etc etc. With the HPF it seems to be easier. There is a variable High Pass Filter (hence name) on it and a phase reverse and between these I have not really needed any extra control. This is not to say that everything else mentioned so far is not a great piece of kit.
  24. Doesn't everyone use a DB? The HPF buffers my Piezos on my yn pre-amped guitar as well.
