Machines

Try taking the head to a shop and asking to try it through another cab - I think the head might be the problem if you're using the same cab as when you had the EB-180.

A lot of info about Jazzes here: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Jazz_Bass"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender_Jazz_Bass[/url]

I nearly had to sell mine a couple of weeks ago to help with my wedding in June, thankfully I don't have to do that anymore (sell the bass not get married ).

I don't know when the change took place, but there was a change from Alnico to Ceramic at some point.[/quote] I think that was the SR5. This site has LOADS of info on the differences between all the Stingrays. [url="http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/"]http://myweb.ecomplanet.com/TOWN8019/[/url]

Great stuff - anyone who's seen the original too will appreciate it even more so.

That website is loaded with porn.... bookmarked !

That's fantastic, cheers dude.

Hmm I never see other bassists in shops ! I'm always the only one there..

For me the wiki is good for a couple of things (such as the amps section) but other than that I don't use it.

I 'push flat' when i'm at home. Haven't had chance to try it live yet so couldn't say if I like it or not. I think it sounds pants on its own but it might be really good in the mix...

[quote name='Merton' post='143883' date='Feb 20 2008, 06:11 PM']Being a pedant, that's not infinite. There are still maximum and minimum positions, therefore a finite number of in between positions, even if you're saying a 1 micron movement means a new position! [/quote] But then you go smaller than a micron .

[quote name='Hit&Run' post='143877' date='Feb 20 2008, 05:58 PM']"The pickup can be 'wiped' through an infinite number of positions.." Hardly infinite! It would be interesting to hear how this bass sounds.[/quote] Strictly speaking it is infinite - there is no limit to the smallest movement possible to attain a new position. Sure it won't be noticeable but it is a fair claim.

That's really... clever. But i'd rather just have a bass with 2 pickups .

I've got a year old set of D'Addario Chromes on my Jazz, they suit it wonderfully and have that lovely thump without being totally devoid of higher frequencies. I tried some Thomastiks on tonyf's fretless Stingray and they were lovely - very flexible and reasonably low tension in comparison to the Chromes.

Welcome back, hope things are going well. Are you still in a position to offer a cheeky discount to BassChatters ? I believe it was 5% ?

I think you're the only person on here with a Klystron... what do you think of it ?

It has been removed - dood check mods forum for details.

G&L basses are pretty well known - they're Leo Fender's last venture. Have a look here for some history: [url="http://www.glguitars.com/"]http://www.glguitars.com/[/url]

[quote name='OldGit' post='142726' date='Feb 18 2008, 08:46 PM']Did you get one? At £170 it could be a world beater [/quote] I've been lazy with reviews in the last few weeks so will wait until i've got more time ! There's an interesting twist to my current review bass..
