[quote name='Minty' timestamp='1364403285' post='2026032'] Can't afford to buy a custom made scratchplate right now, so I routed my old one for the time being! [/quote]what jazz bass is this.? sorry i havent read through previous posts. its a 60's jazz with a p pickup mod right.?

this is one killer jazz bass.. 96 MIJ non export 75 RI Jazz bass.. now has Lindy Fralin single coil pickups.. the tone is very aggressive 75 jazz bass, but can be very smooth also, the fralins are fantastic pckups..its quite rare for an MIJ 75, as it has 70's spacing.. i now know that it was a special order MIJ 75.... stupidly was going to trade it recently..

if the tone is for you, maybe a j bass with a p pickup....

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1364573430' post='2028382'] I think anyone that thinks this way is just getting old, I thought Jessie J and Katy Perry were both known for being song writers that had sucess writing for other people at a young age then decided to take a bit of the limelight for themselves? Lady Gaga is a great vocalist, pianist, songwriter and to top it off can dance too. The latest Justin trousersnake song is quite catchy if I remember and he can dance too. I'm not really into that sort of music but people just toss these names into these discussions because their own record collection ended when they left college in 1984, people have said it since the birth of popular music, rubbish, can't tell what they are singing, hair like girls blah blah. [/quote] i must be getting old then.. i remember my dad saying to me when i was 18ish. i was listening to alot of house music.. he said whats that repetitive rubbish.. this was in the days of chicago house when all the recordings were played live with live instruments.. i never wanted to get to a point where someone says im old because im not hip with the new stuff.. imo the greatest new stuff is not in the charts... its somewhere where you need to dig a little to find it...

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1364571350' post='2028344'] That's a joke right? [/quote]im not having a good day with my bad words and posts. obviously thats not the case FlyFisher... im not my self im afraid.. speaking without thinking..

Had a conversation today with my sister about who might be the next super star of music.. and we really couldnt think of any.. then we came on to the conversation that Prince is the only real living legend that is still making music... i really couldnt think of any that could come close to him. micheal jackson, the boss, james brown, madonna,,Stevie Wonder .. makes me think that making music was harder to learn back then.? i had another conversation with a great drummer who was in the mind set that music was being diluted.. i agree...

ive always thought anyone you play with who has disapproval of the gear you use, is either not worth making music with, or is very immature

i cant vouch for every vid but there are some f***in cool ones.. a few of my favorites are Tal Wilkenfield,.. the Louis Johnson slap is very cool.. made me laugh when i saw the Jeff Berlin one. "super technical approach".. ? i have to say im not a fan of that dick head... yes i said it..... im sure you hve seen most of these vids but maybe not on one site,.the stand outs for me were john entwistle, tom hamilton from aerosmith,Mark King, and that Micheal Manring vid is fantastic.. http://famousbassplayers.com/

another great tune.. great bass playing.. i believe the bass is played from his main man Richard Bull. i could be wrong on this.. ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ChOr7ChIog

thankyou.

thanks dude.. i think there might be something else going on has it is starting to scratch alot, and sounding very strange when i do push the knob and shaft in, to try and turn it.. thanks i will ask [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]KiOan's advice..[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]ps. how can i find him [/font][/color]

thanks bassintheface, but i would really like an original looking Jazz Bass control plate and knobs, that is of course if a J Retro costs less than a Fender control plate... thanks gjones for the input dude..

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1363900816' post='2019281'] Are you saying the knob won't come off the pot because it doesn't have a grubscrew? Usually a bit of force will do the trick with those types (mine are the same).But if you can't budge it, I reckon that if you popped the control plate, with knobs attached, in a box and posted it to [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]KiOgan he would be able to replace the pot and get it back to you by early next week. He was very accomodating when I got my wiring loom from him. And his prices are very reasonable.[/font][/color] [/quote]no, the shaft that the pot is attached to has snapped off, so the shaft that is glued into the knob (blimey this is like a carry on film he he) has come away from the pot, so if placed back is just spinning around with no tone control.. i can actually pull the knob out with the rest, of the shaft attached.. i hope that makes sense...

ive not heard of Axetec Zig.. aa..? sorry maybe im being a bit slow..?
