  1. Nice. IIRC, a lot of people rated the Retrovibe Fakers, and it is a darn sight cheaper than the real thing. Never got on with the Retrovibe pickups TBH, they were a bit "soul-less" to my ears, but again, a lot of people like them. Gemini pickups in North Wales do some really nice, handwound replacement pickups, but they're not cheap. Had a few Rockinbetter's over the years, replacing a 4003 when I had to sell. But now have a couple of 4003's again, so the last Rockinbetter is in my son's possession. Although the body was thicker than a 4003, they were still a fair bit lighter, but the neck dimensions & feel were pure 4001/4003. Enjoy your Retrovibe!
  2. I Said I Wanna Watch Cartoons - Happy Flowers
  3. Leaving Here - Motorhead
  4. Trades considered. Individual pedals / board / PSU Pedals: Pre-amp/OD/Dist/etc. Compressor Chorus Flanger/Phaser Auto Wah / Q Reverb etc.
  5. Playing near a computer screen? Flourescent lighting? Other electrical interference? How old are your leads? What pickup(s) does your bass have?
  6. Or a Line6 POD Go. Another P bass or a J? Something a bit different?
  7. Make up your mind, one or two?
  8. If you have any other keys for other cases, you could try them.
  9. Bomber - Motorhead
  10. Crocodile Shoes - Jimmy Nail
  11. TC Polytune or UniTune Clip. Both are excellent.
  12. That's a lovely looking bass, nice acquisition!
  13. Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
  14. Current No.1. Had a 4003 a number of years back, but had to sell it. Tried a few different basses to replace it, but nothing came near til I got a Rockinbetter. Lovely bass, but not a 4003. This came up on FB Marketplace at a reasonable price and not too far away, almost missed it, but that deal fell through and it was offered to me. Happy bunny.
  15. It all boils down to what you want to use it for and how much you want to spend. If it's just for effects, then the B3n or the HX FX would be a good choice. If you're wanting to use the amp/cab modelling, then the B3n would be good again, but then there's the Line6 HX Stomp/Stomp XL or the POD Go.
  16. The Buck Stops Here - Anti Sect
  17. I recently went from Dunlop DBS Steel's to the D'Addario Pro Steel's. Haven't noticed any difference in tension.
  18. There was the Shark series of basses that had wooden necks. Not sure when they were made, but they were a "budget" bass from Status.
  19. Just looked up the PSA, and it would appear to be a standard 9v / 500mA. So any multi pedal PSU should do.
