    Wonderful stuff. I remember seeing a photograph of that Zemaitis fretless bass with its Love Heart soundhole in 'The Ultimate Guitar Book' many years ago, the no.1 strat too.

    Beautiful bass. GLWTS

    Great basses. Very well screwed together with lots of thump!

    And me 😂 I’ll look the show up though

    With a Trace (and in my experience with a Handbox, Genz, TecAmp, GK and various others) you can set your EQ with for example a P bass, but then if you switch basses mid-set to say a Stingray or Sandberg you still had your core sound but the P would sound like a P and the ‘Ray would still sound like a ‘Ray etc, etc. I found that with the Ashdown I could tweak the EQ to get a great sound, but if I then switched basses I’d need to mess about with the EQ all over again. The EQ seemed very specific and precise to the bass going into it. Probably a very good thing to some but to me seemed a bit of a faff. As I said before there are lots of people far better placed than me who love them to bits, so each to their own.

    I must admit to being a complete TE fanboi but have never got on with Ashdown heads. I know some players love them but I really don't like them at all. 🙁

    I wish I played fretless. That is gorgeous.

    Now £40 delivered (mainland UK) I know very little about these pickups other than they were made by Kent Armstrong and they were retro fitted into an 80's Aria SB bass that I recently purchased. I'm putting that bass back to stock so these pickups are surplus to requirements. I'm not sure if there's a difference in output between the neck and bridge but I've labelled them up as the positions they were in. They worked when I tried the bass out and sounded pretty good to my ears with plenty of punch. Dimensions - approx 98mm x 38mm EDIT - Depth approx 18mm at the sides upto 23mm in the middle I'll also throw in the Armstrong ATC 2 active 9v preamp that came with the bass, complete with 3 pots. It was set up as Volume/Treble/Bass and connected to a toggle switch for pickup selection (toggle switch and jack socket won't be included). Again the preamp was obviously working when I tried the bass out. Helpfully I was provided with a wiring diagram a some bumff on the preamp (see pic). All delivered to your door for £50 £40 (mainland UK)

    Very nice Mart 👍

    Great cabs. The perfect combination of power and portability imho. Have a bump on me. GLWTS

    Exactly the same for me. As a kid I always lusted after a SB but was gutted when I finally played one and as you, I couldn’t get on with the neck or the narrow string spacing. The SB-R variety however just feel great to me, chunky neck, 43mm nut and wider more traditional string spacing at the bridge.

    And once more for the Aria contingent, my Aria SB-R beauties. ‘83 R60, ‘81 R80 and a soon to be restored ‘83 R150

    My newly acquired '83 Aria Pro II SB-R60 complete with original case. Also alongside it's siblings, the twin pickup SB-R80 and soon to be restored Zebrawood SB-R150.

    Turns out the problem with mine was an incorrectly connected pickup. Now sorted 😀
  15. Deedee
    +1 to this. The VMs are good basses but the CVs are a good level above imho.
  16. Deedee
    That reminds me. The black & maple P that was originally yours, that I bought from Pestie and then sold back to you. That was one I certainly regretted selling. A beautiful bass. 😟
  17. Deedee
    Welcome 😎

    Not bought one of my old basses back (yet) but wish I had done on a couple of occasions. 😟

    P Bass options

    Deedee replied to Scoobs's topic in Bass Guitars

    My experience of MIJ Precision basses has been nothing but great so you can’t go far wrong with one of those. New options - lots of good things being said about the Bruce Thomas Profile bass from the Bass Centre.

    I know these are rarer than hens teeth. I almost had a fit the last time I collected my SMX after a service and one of them was missing. The shop managed to find it once I’d explained to them that you can’t get them anywhere (they didn’t seem to disagree). A dud spares or repair head may be the best option. 😟
