    [quote name='kdphysio' post='157059' date='Mar 13 2008, 10:38 PM']ian, very, very nice brace there! i'm picking up a P-bass from malcolm on saturday.......like you, got a great deal. [/quote] Say Hello to Malcolm for me! I just realised I posted two close-ups of the Jazz. I've now replaced one with the P-Bass close up.

    Exactly the same thing has happened to me. Plus I've come from 5-string. See my bass porn thread...

    Here's my recent purchases from Malcolm at The Guitar Emporium. I can thoroughly recommend buying from the GE. He's really enthusiastic about his guitars and basses. Plus I got a great deal! I'm thinking of getting a third to start customising. Not sure yet, as they sound great as they are!

    Unless you use flats, I can't imaging any epoxy coating getting string marks. I've seen may a Pedulla with marks from rounds.

    [quote name='Jase' post='155947' date='Mar 12 2008, 01:16 PM']Hi Chop, Do you know if the Schaller 3D bridge can be used on a Fender Jazz, I like the fact it has adjustable string spacing.[/quote] Hi Jase, Your Tort scratchplate is in the post. The schaller bridge will be fine with a Jazz. It looks like the narrowest string spacing achievable is 18mm Cheers Ian

    Excellent 3u full flight case made by 'Transit Cases'. It's not ply - its the lightweight poly stuff. Both lids are quite deep and are padded with foam. I used to keep two speakon leads and the IEC mains lead in the rear one. With both lids removed, its 420mm in depth. One leather side handle. I had my GK head mounted in the lower 2u and had the vented blanking plate in the top. I'll include this plate. plenty of mounting screws included. £35 plus postage. Cheers, Ian

    Tort gone.

    First up is a genuine Fender MIA pickguard part no. 099-2022-000. I was told these would fit CIJ's, but they don't!! I got one to fit courtesy of our Jase on BC, so this one is for sale. Its new, but the film has been taken off as I was so convinced it would fit, and I didn't want bits of film under the screw heads! £20 **SOLD** And the pickguard that came off the bass is a black 3-ply CIJ one. Unused. £10 **SOLD** Also a surplus white MIM 3-ply pickguard. £5 Gold Schaller 3D bridge. £20 **SOLD** Black 6-string unused bass bridge. Narrow string spacing. £10 Finally, two unused Fender gig bags that came with my recent CIJ purchases. £5 each. Thanks!

    [quote name='bassicinstinct' post='154029' date='Mar 9 2008, 05:28 PM']+1. Never heard the word "growl" used for the Precision sound before. [/quote] Perhaps its a combination of the P bass sound and the type of amp. Could it be the 'growl' is an amp, say an ampeg, being pushed hard?

    Hi Malcolm, I can't comment on the 62 with US pickups, but my PB62-60 with Jap pickups sounds huge. It definitely seems to replicate what I know as the precision tone. Ian
  16. Chopthebass
    I dunno if there are tow ranges, but I went to Ashdowns premises in Chelmsford and they had one hanging up, so I askes to have a look, and what a disppointment. You could get a bus under the strings the action was so high. But, setup aside, it just looked an average bass thats been mass produced in Korea. Nothing special. The odd angles are there just to make it look different. It just doesn't work. Sorry Ashdown!

    I've had MIA jazzes in the past, and I have just bought a CIJ precision and CIJ Jazz. The Jazz comes with US pickups, and is in my opinion both are better made than the US ones I had. They don't come with a hard case though. I got a great deal from Malcolm at the Bass Emporium. A great guy who knows his stuff, and I can thoroughly recommend him.
  18. Chopthebass
    I have a new CIJ jazz and want to fit chrome ashtray p/up covers. Two questions - is it obvious where the bridge cover goes? The front is no problem as the pickguard has holes already. Secondly, what screws are used? Where can I get them? I assume they are round headed type and not CSK like the pickguard screws. Cheers Ian
  19. Chopthebass
    Definitely www.alparts.co.uk They do chrome, black and gold in all styles, inc dual concentric. They specifically say suitable for EMG. I've bought sets and they fit fine.

    Its interesting that this combo comes with a 4-ohm internal speaker, thus giving 300w, but the extension speaker jack is wired in series. So if you add another cab you'll get less power! ie. add another 4-ohm cab and you make 8-ohms. You'll probably then get around 220w - ish.

    [quote name='stevebasshead' post='149065' date='Feb 29 2008, 05:16 PM']I found resting my thumb on the low B instead of a pickup helped, so that effectively I was playing a 4 string until I deliberately wanted to play the low B. So only at that point did I have to really think about playing the new string, if you see what I mean?[/quote] +1 It also stops the B string resonating when you're not using it.
  22. Chopthebass
    Sounds coool. I love the MM/J pickup combination. I'm sure this deserves to be in the porn section when complete.
  23. Chopthebass
    Ending soon! My last Klystron 1000 head that has no reserve. Currently at £500. I don't care what I get for it now!! It must go!!!

    [quote name='zapp' post='148990' date='Feb 29 2008, 03:17 PM']I really like the sound of the Marcuss Miller sig Bass but I'm not overly keen on the big black scratchplate that the controls are mounted into, so my question is......... Is the body routed out under this plate or is it just cosmetic?[/quote] Hi mate, You might find the pickup route for the front p/up may not be as neat as the rear - as its intended to be covered by the scratchplate. I could be wrong, but I know that is the case with some J-basses. Cheers Ian
