    You won't need the service guy - contact cleaner on a jack plug, shove it in and out of the send and return a few times... job done!

    Wow... that's almost touchscreen! [quote name='ped' timestamp='1355993808' post='1905331'] Here's mine!

    Have a read through these... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/116361-how-low-is-a-good-low-action/ http://basschat.co.uk/topic/57575-the-how-high-is-your-action-thread-get-involved/ http://basschat.co.uk/topic/176357-how-high-is-your-action/

    Oh, the strap button has also been moved and it looks like you could store your amp in the neck pocket. Did you keep the receipt? :-)

    I don't think the pickguard is original, either. That description is terrible.
  6. wateroftyne
    It's. shame flats are synonymous with the word 'thud'. They do so much more.

    It drives me nuts. It seems to be standard practice to murder the lows with bowel-rearranging subs. Whenever I work with a PA company who keep the bottom end clean, it's revelation.

    I have no idea who he is. Then again, I've never heard that Gingham Style song either. I'm quite good at avoiding popular culture. It's good for my stress levels.

    The EBS Microbass II is marvellous. it does everything the SansAmps do, and more.. without murdering your mids. They cost a few quid, though.

    [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1355848832' post='1903627'] the natural response of both the para-driver and the bass-driver is mid scooped, quiet a bit. To counter this on the bass-driver is to blend in the clean, but personally it's never the same as actually adding mids. The para-driver has a stand alone mid cut/boost and frequency select so it's easier to add mids in, plus it's more usuable for other instruments, inherently they are pretty much the same, but I would try a bass-driver before you count it out. I just prefer the para-driver but I ended up moving it on as it wasn't for me. [/quote] This. They both knack your mids to different degrees.

    I would love to do this, but the thought of gigging outside of London scares me.
  12. wateroftyne
    Lovely!

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1355775080' post='1902650'] This is not my thread, so please PM me for a response, as I have no intention of hijacking someone's sale thread of a very fine bass. In your PM, please give some introduction about your experience of vintage Fenders, as there's little mystery about these marks. Having said that, there are some oddities within Fender, particularly the pre-CBS era, where myth and legend do occur, and some acceptance that no-one will ever know, must prevail. Thanks, Rick. [/quote] My understanding of the ES mark is that there are a lot of theories about its purpose, but no proof. I'd be interested in your source as well, Rick. Have another bump, OP. Gorgeous bass.

    FWIW, I've had nothing spam-flavoured sent to my Basschat-specific email address.
  15. wateroftyne
    Does it have an FX bypass switch? If so, bypass it. If not, shove jacks in and out of the FX send and return. It's a known problem with Walkabouts that they can oxidise and short out the signal path. That sorts it.

    Hey Moonbass! Did you install the JVX's in the end? What did you think?
  17. wateroftyne
    If you 'get' the music it would be a blast. I'd do it.
  18. wateroftyne
    I really like that. I'm about 100 miles too far north, otherwise... Good luck with it!
  19. wateroftyne
    Cheers, Ped. Sometimes you just have to give things a go....

    [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1355355405' post='1897458'] IMO, the JV's are better...in [i]all[/i] categories, and more accurate necks/bodies. [/quote] Woah - really? Do you know where I might find one for sale? I must have one!

    [quote name='BassPimp66' timestamp='1355339448' post='1897208'] Too expensive ... I would pay GBP 950. Based on 2/3 of the new price today. And provided it comes in mint condition. I don't give a s*** this was produced in the 80's. It's just a funny looking bass. I can live with that, but I would't pay a premium for it. [/quote]
  22. wateroftyne
    It's a Fullerton RI. Fender were at the top of their game around this time, and that's why they command good money. Yep, the price is on the high side but if someone wants one, they'll pay it.
  23. wateroftyne
    Yip - I never quite understood the need to make an ad 'disappear'....

    [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1355239725' post='1895799'] [color=#FFFFFF].[/color] [/quote] There's a thing - restrict off-topic to contributing members. Read-only for everyone else.
  25. wateroftyne
    That's what I was thinking - even just a simple 'What do you think about...' thread.
