Looking for a mid range bass with an MM style humbucker. Just wondering if anyone has tried one of these Electra basses. I’ve a German California...just curious what’s lost in the price difference 🤷‍♂️

Rehearsed with it the other day and I had plenty of top end when I used my EQ and compressor. I’ll leave it be ... for now .

It’s a 473k which should be ok 🤔

I think I like it passive tbh. Just with more top end. I’m looking at just changing the pups . I’ve my eyes on bare knuckles

That’s another option but it’s doesn’t have a battery slot ...I dunno the history of this bass at all . I might just ask Mayones...I was thinking about a John East preamp 🤔

Hi there i currently have a 2008 Mayones Jabba 4 with modded circuitry. At one stage I think it was an active bass and was converted to passive, it sounds great but a little ‘dark’ (ie not much top end “zing”. I wonder should I replace the Delano pickups . I’m guessing these were designed with an onboard preamp in mind .. the capacitor is “normal” as far as I can tell .

I actually found one buried in a tool box in my garden shed. Worked a treat ☺️

Cheers , I’ll check the postage ...that’s the problem, One vendor was charging £18 to send a 38p item 😂😂😂

Just finding these impossible to get on their own or they are ridiculously expensive to post .

Any good modern guitar valve heads that can be used for bass ?

Sweet Home Alabama 😭😭

Are those Basses gone ? They seemed to be a very good bass but had a horrible headstock from what I can remember

I prefer the look of the Reverend

I don’t like it’s derrière

Anyone play one of these yet ? To my eye they look Mexico fender league ...but more expensive. the maple neck p bass sure looks good 🤔

Is there a power ‘threshold’ for valve heads when you start to need fans to keep the valves cool. It seems to be 200w or thereabouts. I find the Ashdown fans reasonably quiet (compared to other makes) . Sorry for going off topic

I saw another 427 small block being put together on Marks FB feed 🤔

My amp tech was baiting me with his newly serviced SVT Ampeg yesterday . ....why oh why😫
