    I have also replaced stock pickups with Vintage P's and they have been excellent. Very close to the sound (I daren't say tone) of my genuine vintage pickups.

    I would be decidedly miffed now and incandescent on 7th July if there's no satisfactory conclusion. I would be inmstigating the charge back at that point, bearing in mind the time USPS give themselves.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164920764531?hash=item26660b2873:g:aI4AAOSwso5gzeNt Oddly, this is in my 'manor' but I don't know the owner. Slightly strangely light on detail.

    Worth pointing out that Mesa cabs won't see these shores this year. I have ordered a 2x12 and I am told it won't turn up until next year so buy this one if you have any hankering for a Subway 1x15.

    I used to encounter Terry Shulman regularly at a jazz jam I played at, in the mid 70s. He was a brilliant trumpeter and a street cleaner by trade. A lovely guy. I confess to seeing National Health and saw them support Steve Hillage at Lancaster University. I'm afraid I was praying for their set to end from very early on (apologies to a certain BC member who was present at the time).

    I had one of those back in the 80's. Excellent bass (as is my A/E fretless!!!).

    A Pompey band that started life as Simon Dupree and the Big Sound.

    Having toured a few times with It's A Beautiful Day, never mention Deep Purple/Child In Time and the song that came before Bombay Calling.

    Is not the US one, essentially, a Precision Lyte with a different name? Interesting bit of information though.

    I've looked at the usual suspects that have been mentioned. I've always been a big fan of Kent Armstrong pickups. I guess the only thing is the lack of visible pole pieces (how shallow is that?). I am suspending thoughts of changing the pickup at the moment as I think the pre-amp change has done the job I wanted done on the sound. My guess is any pickup change would still lead to a pre-amp change whereas you may find a pre-amp swap may not lead to the need for another pickup.

    I have for now. In truth, it is more likely to be pure snobbery that would make me change it. I had a pre-EB Stingray many moons ago and the combination of the stock pick-up and Retrovibe pre-amp get me a sound that is pretty much the same as my recollection of the sound of the original. I was careful to get a pre-amp that set out to emulate the original 2 eq pre-amp and the Retrovibe nails it.
  18. Steve Browning
    I have a 4 string SUB and it was transformed by a Retrovibe Stinger pre-amp. I would strongly suggest you think about that as your first upgrade. I may even stick with the stock pickup as a result.

    I have both a rack tuner and a tuner on the pedalboard (although it only house a switcher for different basses). It is useful to have the pedal tuner there, I find.

    Bought a Zoom pedal from Terry. It couldn't have got to me any quicker, was well packaged and exactly as described. An excellent transaction and recommended. Steve

    I sometimes dep with a great soul band. They cover Everlasting Love and the bass player (@rumblefish) took it upon himself to suggest the bass plays the little figure over the triangle about halfway through the song. I have tried to re0plicate the song with a pick (my only use of one) but just cannot get that bit right (it's played using 3rds), It's such a great song I hate balls'ing it up every time.
  22. Steve Browning
    I much preferred my 400 to my 400+. I liked the tone more and re-valving it was cheaper.

    I would suspect a statistician would take issue with the 100% certainty. There is a possibility (however unlikely) that that is not the case. Not wanting to be a pedant, mind.

    Also, be mindful of the effect of a nitro finish on the vast majority of stands. I have had both Hercules and Ultimate stands (and they're great stands - though the Hercules ones gave out after a while) and have resorted to a beer towel across the bottom to prevent the finish sticking to the stand. I would still go with the Ultimate stand though.
