The unlined FL neck is going nowhere Brian, trust me -
There is wisdom there Nik. Problem is I'll no doubt join the '78 neck to the '78 body and find it's the holy grail I've been searching for all these years Hope all's well mate Chris

How to get sued by three bass manufacturers?

Funny how we all go on about Mesa, Ampeg, and even Marshall, as well as so many others, yet WEM rarely get a mention on this forum, despite the tone being lovely and as you say Jack, their tube amps being rather good at being heard despite their conservative power ratings

Good shout mate

I've had a few PM's about the neck which has made me think. Below is the original body for the above neck, this is the bass I pick up and play pretty much every day purely for the pleasure, and it's a cracker. But I'm thinking of perhaps putting the '78 neck back on this body and selling it as a close to original '78 as possible (it's got a Jason Lollar P/J set and Kiogon circuit in there at present). Feels like the right thing to do to be honest. So, this evening I'm going to switch necks and see how each bass fares

An understatement if ever there was one

Thanks guys, I'm gutted to be selling this to be honest, it's an outstanding bass on every level, but for whatever reason I like a Precision to not just sound like a Precision but feel like one, a big part of which for me is the neck width and profile. This neck is gorgeous, but feels more like a Jazz in my clumsy hands (although I think it's actually between 40-41mm so not quite as narrow as a Jazz). It's ironic really because for many players the narrower 70's Precision necks are highly sought after. If I could find a neck with this much mojo as this one, but with a 44mm nut (same profile as the one I sold Walshy recently), I would be a very happy man indeed. Having said that, I'm pretty much a one bass guy these days, my 70's P/J FL - with a wide and deep neck - is the only bass that gets picked up with any regularity, and I'm getting to the point that, especially with heavy flats, I don't really need frets for the stuff I play anyway. Might change when/if we start gigging again of course

Yep, I totally get that as well On reflection the mistake I made, despite doing a whole lot of research into the best kit for my money, was believing that e-drums were going to be a low noise solution for rehearsing and recording traditional drum sounds (jazz, rock and blues). This was in part because none of the genres in question require either an especially 'big' or non-traditional sound, but also many drummers I'd like to have used them to rehearse/record simply did not like playing them.
-
That is true, one of the reasons I sacked my e-kit was that to get the best out of it for anything other than headphone use it ended up being as loud as a normal kit; too little amplification (or poor quality amplification) meant you heard the noise of the kit above the noise of the drums if you get my drift. I always felt that whilst with a real kit noise of kit and noise of drums are synonymous (possibly wrong word there), with an e-kit the two were often at odds. I didn’t explain that very well

Re monitor I used the Roland PM3-V which despite being VERY heavy is small, does a great job with kick even at low volumes, and has two HF monitors. I never giggled with it, but it would be up to the job for small events. I also use it is a bass amp occasionally. Russ, I’d sell you mine but it would cost a fortune to courier
-
I emailed PJB direct a few years back, got a reply within a few hours from a tech guy and when that didn’t resolve the issue Phil himself joined the conversation. Very impressive, so I’d suggest that route perhaps?
-
True on both counts, I sold my TD30 because there is nothing better than real drums. And yes, the box count is ridiculous
-
The problem with e-drums us that you start to resent the limitations of a kit very quickly, and the bit by bit improvements that can result end up way more costly than buying a great kit first time. You my not need a TD30, but if you do, not buying one is a false economy
-
I had TD-30KV BTW
-
When I bought mine I spent a lot of time on drummist sites reading reviews and opinions, I was blown away by it when it arrived, sounded way better than I expected, felt like a real kit, and was so easy to record. Only thing I didn't like was the frame, still prefer traditional stands

There’s a lot of Roland on eBay at present Russ

Roland then:)
