I have the Noble (see above in the thread) but sadly not the B15 (or the 63 Precision!). I have to make do with a 77, which is lovely, but probably weighs twice as much.

This was the vid and this was how the signal chain was described: "Derek is playing a 1963 Fender Precision bass with La Bella Low Tension Flats and a Nordstrand Nordy Mute. The signal goes through a Noble Preamp DI into a slightly pushed 1970s Ampeg B 15 and then a Neve console. Simple. Classic. Sounds killer".

Re-asking this question...I thought it was a no-no putting a valve pre-amp in front another valve pre-amp....any views out there? I was watching/listening to a vid of a Noble put in front of a B15 with a 63 Precision, which sounded sweet!

I really enjoyed the write-up and the gig sounded great. Am I the only person on Basschatt who doesn't do Spotify though?

Have we had Deff Beck (RIP) yet?

Not sticking up for Tesco, or any other particular supermarket, but there is a lot of near date food that gets donated by supermarkets to homeless shelters et al. You could say that it would go to waste otherwise, but my experience is that much tastier food gets prepared in the shelters as a consequence.

And for good measure, here's the neck socket of mine

And correction...someone has obviously shielded the whole of the inside which would imply the pickup has been changed, but its the way the shielding overspills the cavity....I don't think it has been re-routed, judging by mine

Here's the inside front of my 77

As the owner of a 77 Leftie, it all looks kosher, except the pick up and control cavity look like they've been routed for different pickups/controls.

I agree with all that. Perversely, as a Lefty, I am curious (and envious) as to what the moollon sounds like (v the vintage sound).

Thanks. And what are the pickups?
