Hmmm I recognise that photo. Use it whydoncha?

Hartke is where the Heart is. Who needs advertising executives Good to hear of other positive experiences with these amps. I'm must try putting the Sovtec back and doing a comparo with the Tung Sol Peter

That sounds good Martin, must give mine some more 'exercise'.

I've just had another noodle. It's funny how coming back to it gives a better impression sometimes. It's ace! Loads of mwaa, the stuff I've always looked for and never found. This neck is staying put Using just the bridge pup and getting honk + mwaa is where it's at.

I was a little worried their would be (well spotted). The Warmoth extended fretboard just fits neatly over the pickguard though. Warmoth necks are very good. In fact so it the one that came off, its practically new.

This bass has been very much 'work in progress'. I bought it from Thumper and it was an Allparts bound and blocked neck on I think an Allparts body with overwound Lindy Fralins and the bridge pup in the 'take it to the bridge' position. I added an ACG02 Pre-amp and a BadassII to the beast and was very pleased with the result. Now I have a history of owning at least 4 fretless basses and I've not been happy with the tone of any of them. (It could be my playing that's the problem). I bought a Warmoth fretless neck from a fellow BCer with the intention of putting it on my Warmoth Darkstar body, but..... the Warmoth is so good I don't want to mess with it. So today I put the Warmoth neck on the Jazzbasstard and I'm very pleased with the sound indeed. It really doesn't look as nice though. So I now have a spare neck..... Peter

That's yummy Sarah, I love it. Too many strings for me. Didn't know you were from Essex too. Dagenham? Billericay? Peter

So Martin, you pleased?

[quote]Its the genre you Jazzers fear,because it out improvises you,and the musicians are stronger,and far far more innovative,both in note choice and equipment. And best of all.......WE AINT SMUG ABOUT IT AND CHICKS LIKE US!!![/quote] I love Metal, AND Jazz. Again just lucky I guess. And sober now too.

I'm surprised some of you guys like music at all Where is your soul? Maybe I'm just very lucky?

[quote]Hang your heads in shame all you non believers, Jaco was and still is the most melodic, innovative and out there bassist to have walked the planet, although maybe slang is not the best example of his playing. There will be no Christmas for all doubters , I've told Santa where you all live. Shame , shame ,shame.[/quote] + 1000 and I don't need convincing. It's all very well saying that so and so is now better but that's totally missing the point of Jaco. I've got Weather Report's 'Heavy Weather' in the car at the mo and I have a very open and wide musical appreciation but this is sublime bass playing in terms of feel, timing and sheer construction. He didn't just 'raise the bar', he invented the sport. That's what I fink anyway.

Ouch! I sold mine (5 stringer) for less than £300. Both my 4 stringers were less than £200 and my present one is absolutely mint. They were expensive new, back aways.

I sold Jocke my 4003 and he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Tack själv Peter

Did you get a glimpse of mine while you were there? It's nearing laquer completion now.

Absolutely. It's no good imo saying they're this or that from the odd picture. You need to actually get your hands on one.

Yes it's bling I know, and gold knobs too. Thought I'd share my shallow need for things that light up and shine:

Seems a bit pricey for a 'Legend' series unless it's a bit special.

[quote]I think I may have found the bass that is 100% right for me.[/quote] That's a phrase I've heard before [quote]Hmmm I'm not getting the big Spector love at the minute.[/quote] Do you need to give it some time John? Are you maybe subconsiously wanting it to dissapoint? I would imagine it sounds a lot different to the Streamer. Maybe it needs to be given a blast in anger? For a P/J I like the pup balance. So often it's weighted towards the P. I'm finding it does a good bridge pup tone as well as a capable more bluesy tone on the neck. I'm using very little boost on the bass and treble at the moment. I'm off out to see the 'Blues Band' tonight and if I don't get myself ready I'll be late!! Peter

Here's one I bedded earlier. Where's my tripod when I needed it?
