[quote name='Chopthebass' post='108687' date='Dec 23 2007, 07:50 PM']This is a bass I might be able to get my hands on! Roughly what would you expect to pay for a 1977 Fender Precision with original hard case. Its Black with maple neck? It has a few body knocks, but only minor. And some minor finish crazing. Cheers Ian[/quote] Is this bass the one selling on Gumtree? If it's the one, I contacted the seller and it smells fishy to me...I'm not saying it's a scam but read the reply I received from him and judge yourself: [b]I`m curently located in Germany whit some bussines and the item is in ebay custody(England).Ebay have the item in their custody packed, insured and ready for shipping. They will contact you with all the details of this sale (they will send you an invoice ) and with the payment instructions. You will send the payment to one of their agents that is handling our transaction and after that you will send them the payment information so they can verify It. I will have to make you aware of the fact that i don`t know the agent name because they change it in every transaction for security reasons. As soon as they do that the shipping process will start. After you receive the item you will have a 7 day return policy (starting the day you receive te item), in this time you will have to decide if you accept it or not.So please give me your full name and shipping address so i can have them contact you regarding the transaction. Regards[/b]

I sold a bass to John and everything went really smooth... Very good communication and understanding plus a very fast payment. I highly recommend John to everybody for any future transactions... He's a top guy! Pleasure to deal with you John!

Well guys, I'm a bit confused here... I have never heard about this Grolsch strap locks thing before. What is all about? Could anyone explain it? Thanks!

They've been around for a long time now so you should be able to find one second hand. Good sounds and fairly easy to program.[/quote] [quote name='The Burpster' post='80054' date='Oct 27 2007, 09:46 AM']I have a Zoom MRT 3, and its a cinch to use and produces a useful range of drum sounds. Keeps time better than a Swiss watch and is WAY more reliable than a real drummer! [/quote] [quote name='dudewheresmybass' post='80638' date='Oct 29 2007, 12:21 AM']you can't go wrong with the SR16 as mentioned before. i got one for £20 and i think it's probably one of the best machines out there for the price[/quote] I have been looking around but cannot find any soundclips of these Drum Machines... is there any chance of you guys posting them? It would be great! Thanks!

[quote name='Beedster' post='80680' date='Oct 29 2007, 09:05 AM']This seems pretty similar to what I use and it's finishing in a couple of hours [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zoom-B1-bass-effects-pedal_W0QQitemZ330179104731QQihZ014QQcategoryZ22669QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"]<a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zoom-B1-bass-effects...1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Zoom-B1-bass-effects...1QQcmdZViewItem[/url]</a> Chris[/quote] Thanks! One more thing Chris: can you edit the drumm patterns? Ad fills, combine patterns...

Great Info Beedster, Cheers! Any more input,advice on Drum Machines?

Thanks guys! [quote name='Beedster' post='80066' date='Oct 27 2007, 11:30 AM']I've a Zoom multi FX unit I bought on the bay for £20 or so. Got a good basic drum machine and some great FX. Bass in, headphones out. Simple as! Chris[/quote] Could you tell me exactly which model is it, please?

I'm looking for a portable drum machine or trainer to use as a practice/study tool. I'm a bit lost, don't know much about them and don't want to spend a lot of money... Please, could you give me some advice, please? Thanks!

[quote name='Russ' post='79233' date='Oct 25 2007, 08:44 AM']I know he has one of his Jazzes strung up in BEAD tuning, so that might be what you have to do...[/quote] Spot On! He's been using different Jazz Basses with different tunings and of them was tuned BEAD. Here you have a link with lots of info on Tim's gear... In one of the pics you'll see a Jazz with the neck reversed which he tunes like that.

[quote name='Higgie' post='63608' date='Sep 21 2007, 01:59 PM']I would run bass>LS-2>Multicomp>M-80, and in the loop of the LS-2 put OC-2>Bass IQ>CEB-3. Set the LS-2 so you can blend your clean signal with the effects, and you're flying![/quote] Thanks Higgie... Should I run them through the Amp Fx Loop?

Well, yes, another pedalchain post... I have been reading through previous posts but I'm getting really mixed up and need some advice, please! Here is all the gear I'm using at the moment: -Ampeg SVT4 Pro - EBS MultiComp - EBS IQ Envelope Filter - MXR M-80 (D.I. + Preamp + Distortion) - Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus - Boss OC-2 Octave Pedal - Boss LS-2 Line Selector Should I use the FX Loop from the amp? What do you think would be the best way to run them? Do I need a Looper or can I use the Line Selector instead? Thanks guys!!!

[quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='60305' date='Sep 14 2007, 11:16 AM']No idea, but flowers or chocolates usually help. [/quote] Good One... Topic edited to avoid misunderstandings...

I'm looking at a late 70's Precision, I know about the neck numbers but not sure how to read the Pots... could you tell me about this one, please? Pot Number: [b]AR 1378106[/b]... which year is this? Thanks guys!

I'm with Wil... excellent choice of notes and very, very talented. She is only 21 and not everyone gets to play with all those musicians unless you are good, really good.

Thanks for the input guys! So if you solo the P pup there's also not humming? And the P bass tone is the same as on a P Bass? What I'm monst atracted to is adding a jazz pup to an existing P bass instead of buying a Hot rod or PJ bass but, since I'm not a very handy person, do you know how much would cost me to have a Jazz pickup profesionally installed by a luthier?

I have just been thinking on going down the Fender P bass route, and in fact, I'm ready to go for it, but I'm also considering the possibility of a PJ: - Fender Hot Rod - Fender P Bass and ad the J pickup. Since I haven't had the chance to try any of them I wanted to ask, to all of you that own or have tried them, what's your opinion on these basses. On the Hot Rod, the P pickup is in the same position as it's on a P Bass? One thing I'm not sure about it's that if when soloing any of the pickups you also get the humming noise, similar to the one it happens on the Jazz bass? Thanks!
