I've got a LM2 and I've never had that problem. Sounds like a service might be in order... if needed, a new fan shouldn't be too expensive, (famous last words).

I'm using Jamerson Labellas on my S1 Jazz with wizard 84 pups, gives me twang or thump or something inbetween with good authority. I'm 3/4 happy... but having issues with the E string. A google of 'labella E string' shows some others have had issues with QC. Its tone is different to the others and is a bugger to keep tune.... warm or cold enviroment will move it out, as will the warmth from the friction of playing for a while. Also, just the absolute slightest of movement on the tuner has an exaggerated effect. I'm going to have to try a more standard gauge which is a shame because I do like the 110's stiffness and epic girth, oooh errr. I also suspect my luthier filed the nut to fit the E, so I'll have to factor the cost of a new one into any strings replacement. Flats, and also through bridge as opposed to through body stringing, have helped tame the bags of sustain the instrument had when it first came to me wearing factory rounds. I know sustain is a sign of a well put together instrument and that if you were a les paul, face melting solo rocking guitar type, your thinking would be different but I'm of the opinion that basses, mine at least, don't want too much sustain.

Another 84's fan here, I've got them on my jazz. Alot less polite than american standard pups.

When I first heard 'constellation' on the radio it certainly caught my ear. There's an advert for a clothes company doing the rounds atm which sounds suspiciously like him too.

I'm guessing that's a typo and gonna say welcome aboard fellow wirralalien.

I thought the 'holy trinity' was precision, jazz and stingray? I'm liking your sterling though.

I've been using two 12" cabs with a LMK2 head for over a year now, have thoroughly enjoyed them, and plan to hold onto them indefinately. For me they have a clear voice that have articulated every note I've attempted to good effect. Cabs are like strings, there's no best or worst, just the ones you like the sound of. Their lack of weight has become the norm rather than the exception for me, I could never go back to struggling with a heavy cab now. Aesthetically I think they look quite tidy, but looks aren't a dealbreaker to me, and I'm sure they wouldn't be to everybodys taste. I wouldn't describe them as lacking in volume by any stretch of the imagination, I'm sure there must be louder cabs out there, but then I'm not interested in chasing that particular sonic prize. There's only one way to find out if they're the right cabs for you, and that's to try them.

Welcome fellow Wallaseyan

Here's a nice mustang that really caught my eye. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=127324&hl=mustang"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=mustang[/url]

My vote would be NEXO as well. PS15's are the bees knees.

... and here we go again.

Hopefully it was bought by the person who said it was an original bass. Ignorance is bliss.

Just a quick update on this one. The buyer left negative feedback stating, "the bass was a fake and the seller was unreasonable, but paypal helped me", to which the seller replied, "cash converters were happy to buy this original 1978 bass, this buyer was wrong". So look out for a shonky P-bass, coming soon to a cash converters near you...

I noticed in the photo's your singer is wearing a Scorpio Rising t-shirt. I remember them, was that your old band then?

Nice. Didn't BC and Birkenhead's own Steve-Soar once say he was the proud owner of a KGB bass? I've been very happy with their setup work for me.

I reckon you might have had a lucky escape first time around. They messed you about and I think it'll happen again... casually. They've gone on to have problems with the other person they offered the position, which suggests either social inadequacy or a disregard for bass players in general. I would politely decline their generous offer but then I'm not you, and gigging for the sake of it isn't the be all and end all in my book.

IIRC 'Forest Fire' by the Dead Kennedys.

Series switch?

Hello from another local.

Two lightweight Purple Chili 12" cabs. Snuck in before the rising neo prices that seem to have halted production... and my back thanks me for it. Watching me inch a 410 Ashdown combo up and down the metal staircase to my flat, in the dark, in the rain, you could say they have saved me from inevitable serious injury.
