Thanks Jim, that's really helpful Decisions, decisions...

[quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1497552236' post='3319102'] Horse's for courses and all that, but I had 2 -112 EBS Classic's and never really got on with them, they lacked a lot of bottom end, lot's of mid drive tho. [/quote] I see exactly what you mean, but I'm in a country / country rock band, and clean & warm is more important to me than gut-shuddering low end. If I were in a heavy rock band they probably wouldn't be what I was after

Cheers Jim. The Classic 210 looks to be about 3.5kg heavier than the Neo equivalent so not a big difference. I'm fond of the look and sound of the Classic so I'm planning to stick with this. That said, the Pros and Neos seem to come up for sale much more often on here. How do you find the 210 against the 112 sound-wise?

Just looking at Bass Direct I see the 210 isn't much more than the 112. Any experience of these anyone?

Thanks for your thoughts Lozz. The classic line cabs don't really seem to come up for sale on here nearly as often as the Pro or Neo cabs, so I guess I'm looking at new. In this case when allowing for price, postage and cables a 212 is probably around £150 more. I'd hope to get more than this for my existing 112 so the 212 could be the cheaper option. I take your points on convenience though. Any thoughts on sonic differences?

I've currently got an EBS Reidmar with a 112 classic line cab. I like the sound and looks, but am tempted by a bit more oomph. Would I be better with another 112 cab or changing for a single 212 4 ohm cab? Transportation size and weight aren't really major concerns Thanks Andy

Bought a Focusrite interface from Chris. Everything went very smoothly - it was as described, well packaged and Chris kept me updated on progress. A very easy transaction - thanks Chris

Thanks everyone. If it makes a difference I don't think I've ever played it with just the jazz pickup only (other than the day I got it). The P pickup is generally 75-100% of what I use it for (country rock) with just a bit of J added in

Thanks, I'd hoped to keep it all Fender if possible (I wondered about the Vintage Noiseless as an alternative). I'll take a look at the alternatives.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1494070872' post='3293010'] Be careful of matching in a PJ configuration. A non hum-cancelling J could lead to nasty hum when in solo mode and you can get phasing issues as well. There's also often quite a few problems with non-matched pairs where the P is dominant and the J doesn't add much to the tone - in fact I've even had this with a matched pair! Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs here [/quote] No, not at all, thanks. I was thinking of the 60s Custom Shop Jazz and 62 Custom Shop Precision. I'm after a nice vintage tone

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that sells Fender Custom Shop 60s Jazz pickups as single items rather than in pairs? It's for a PJ bass so I need only the bridge pickup. There are a couple of places in the US via Ebay but I'd prefer somewhere more local and to avoid import duty hassles if possible Thanks Andy

I sold my Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar to Mart. He was easy to deal with and paid promptly. A very easy transaction all round.

I thought I might as well email them and ask rather than just have an order cancelled on me. They've not responded to me, but have put it back to £495. Nice.

Yep, that's the sort of thing that I'm concerned about

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1492877798' post='3283853'] 30Kg? wouldn't bother, there's plenty of heavy weight second hand stuff about a lot lot cheaper that that [/quote] I see where you're coming from but it would go nicely with my EBS head and I do like the Classic look. 4 ohms would help to shut up our guitarist as well [quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1492881438' post='3283885'] I have had two seriously bad experiences with Amazon market place, both at work and cost over £600 in total. One was particularly disgraceful as their customer services had copies of the emails where the supplier refused to do anything whatsoever despite a brand new item not working. Amazon really did not give a damn and refused to help in any way at all. In the end it was the credit car company that got the money back. The second time was a mis delivery, somehow that was our fault despite the fact that we have our own postcode and no number etc, we are big enough that there is just us. Again we got nowehere. Bad enough but if I tell you it's a school for kids with disabilities it makes it bordering on sick in my opinion. Needless to say we never order from them now. [/quote] That's terrible. Really sorry to hear. I've emailed them and will wait to see what they have to say. Thanks all

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1492871867' post='3283805'] seems the price is significantly higher on their eBay store - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172373634066 Coincidentally, I ordered a couple of EBS patch cables from these guys a few days ago and am awaiting delivery so I'll let you know if/when they arrive as described! [/quote] That sounds more the sort of price I'd expect. Hmm, I wonder if they'd honour the price or be suddenly out of stock. At least it looks like it's not a scam

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1492865321' post='3283756'] Stated weight 10Kg. EBS say 30Kg. [/quote] They have the packaged weight down as 38kg I think, so at worst it would come with LOADS of bubble wrap

Maybe I'm overthinking it, it just seems such a bargain price compared to every other seller which makes me cautious. It's a 212 cheaper than anyone else is selling a 112

Hope this is the right forum for something like this. This seems very cheap: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/7f7/Bass-EBS-Classic-212CL-EBS-Cabinet/B00H5SBZSG/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1492849505&sr=8-6&keywords=ebs+bass Am I right to be suspicious do you think?

Thanks for the offer Grangur. If I'm feeling impatient does anyone have experience of this guy? http://www.theguitarmedicineman.co.uk/

Hi, I wouldn't ever trust myself with a soldering iron, so can anyone recommend a good technician to change pickups in Norwich please? Cheers Andy

I've just bought a Fender PJ Jazz from Karl. I can only echo what countless people have said on here already: Karl was very easy to deal with and delivered exactly what and when he said he would. Another satisfied customer
