Thats what i guessed! anyone know where i can try one?[/quote] Mansons in Exeter is the only place i can think of for Zons..they have a wonderfull collection of them...Big £ though [url="http://www.mansons.co.uk/shopping/categories/zon-bass-guitars/"]http://www.mansons.co.uk/shopping/categori...n-bass-guitars/[/url]

Just to say i dont think Warwicks are like Spectors..i could be wrong.. No i havent tried an MTD kingston or Z..A few on here that have though... Carbon fibre necks...Some say lack character, no deadspots, ultra low action achieved, the Zon will be a supreme bass...But really you have to try one..thats the only way...

I have a few... Little out of your budget but, Zon.. or Warwick Spector MTD Kingston MTD Z Series I dont think Sadowsky do a 24 fret 4 string..So as you said it would be a wait while they build you one...Just out of interest do you play that high often? Just to add John Shuker could prob build your spec bass for under £2000..and ive heard it would prob be amazing

Slapping sounds rather good through Flea's hands and the filter though.[/quote]I really cant see this..there are bassist's in the world who are not known, that could wipe the floor with Flea.. Hes only famous because of RHCP...IMHO Meshel Ndegeocello does this better...Way better Not to say i dont like his playing..

[quote name='alexclaber' post='547918' date='Jul 22 2009, 06:04 PM']Hang on, is your 2x12" 4 ohms or 8 ohms? Alex[/quote]4ohms or 8 ohms Alex..i have to ad a cab that is 4 0hms, am i right?

I guess im looking for something a little smaller..

[quote name='JTUK' post='547896' date='Jul 22 2009, 05:52 PM']Now, I like that...quite understated for MP. I also liked the white one that was on here in the Sei pron thread.. I am between commisioning one and waiting a while or buying a stock Sadowsky which I can get straight away, pretty much One the one hand, I REALLY like what MP can do..and it will be to my spec, and on the other...??? Maybe I could go for a paint job with a nice neck, etc etc ....decisions..!![/quote]JTUK.. I have owned a Sadowsky and the Sei is alot better feel wise... IMO..Not sure about the NYC's though...which i presume your looking at.. Im not going comment on the Sadowsky tone though because its

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='547851' date='Jul 22 2009, 05:17 PM']You could use any make, but there's no telling how it will sound until you try it. Is there any particular reason why you are opposed to getting a matching Aguilar 212, or is it just curiosity? S.P.[/quote]Curiosity... .A Quick Q...My aguilar is 500 watts at 4ohms and 250w at 8 ohms...my 212 is 600watts at 4-8 0hms and i wanted to run a 112...300 watts at 8ohms is this not possible..or would i have to run them in parallel....Excuse my lack of knowledge..

[quote name='Stylon Pilson' post='547812' date='Jul 22 2009, 04:42 PM']The problem with pairing a 112 (I assume you meant 112, and not 121) with a 212 is that if they are the same impedance, then each speaker in the 112 will be taking twice as much power as each speaker in the 212. Have you considered a second, matching 212? S.P.[/quote] No i meant 212 AARGHH..... i would be after a 212 but could you recommend a few makes that i could use alone or match with the Agy.. post edited

Need a cab to add to my Agy 212...I was going to get an another Aguilar 212 as i borrowed one that had to go back, but i was wondering what else i should consider that would fit the 212.... My experience and knowledge of amps/cabs is not great.... Thanks

couple of Pics

Ive heard of them....Nearly bought one...."AREA" on here has had a few of them....he has sold a couple on here..drop him in line... You got me thinking now!!!

Why has he got his strings on upside down?

[quote name='iamapirate' post='546172' date='Jul 21 2009, 11:12 AM']haha, Well that was my first thought, actually. Also, I don't get a lot of volume out of the 4x10s because they don't quite use up all 300 watts, IMO. I've heard 100watt amps louder than it :/. Well, that's the thing. I 'like' my tone, but I know that I've heard people with similar setups, who have a simply amazing tone. I mean, most of them had ampegs (which is wayyyy out of my price range atm!), but I don't think that people would [i]realy[/i] spend all this money on bridges and pickups if there wasn't something in them. Also, my bass is a passive bass, so bubinga5, would a new preamp in it actually fit? Or is this a pedal? I know the tonehammer is a pedal, but when I heard clips on youtube I wasn't blown away by what happened when it got hit. It's also veryy large![/quote] Well some have put preamps in there basses but this means routing...But no an external preamp i mean...Is the tone hammer that big?? Does it matter, its no bigger than an effects pedal or unit....

Just wanted to show this erm....again, just pure groove...this has got to be my favorite YT bass clip....Mcbride is smokin on the jazz..Joshua is smokin on the sax..in fact there all.....pretty smokin [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0rc52uu1AQ"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0rc52uu1AQ[/url] Also this guy Wojtek Pilichowski...just incredible....You got to check his solo from 2.35..just wonderful...You can see he must destroy his strings ans frets..looks like a very powerful player... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haMvqvixazA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haMvqvixazA[/url] Anyone know this bass...is it a Mayones? Check him on a Status on YT....

I play and record for various friends, funk soul, reggae, gospel, latin house....Simple one...., what would you choose bass wise?..i need some thoughts from you guys/girls whom have experience with some of these instruments. Celinder update 5 Ken Smith BSR5 LowEnd Jazz 5 Alleva Copollo Fbass BN5 Nordy VJ5 if you like this genre what would you go for..any more luthiers.. How would GB's Shukers and Sei's go down in urban gospel??

Do you like the sound of any other bass you have heard? Youve got the best bass to upgrade IMO..not that it needs it...Awsome instrument... In my limited experience EMG's might give you the sound youve been looking for..Lots of midrange, very bright....No pre, just Active J's...very easy to solder in place....or some Nordstrand's will give you some awsome warm punch..Some may correct me on this??.. I agree with Acidbasses philosophy but i recently bought a bass that really did change my mind, on the way i think about, and play a bass,it was the Sei....It really does get alot better when you go custom..... but i still totally connect with a Fender Jazz, it will never leave me... The bottom line is, listen to as many basses as you can and decide...the Jazz is a great platform to put most good gear on to these days like yours.. if it was me i would put some Nordstrand J's and a Sadowsky pre in it, or even the Sadowsky pre/DI...Totally sweet...the best combo in the world..IMHO..or just as good leave the bass and get an Aguilar Tone Hammer...this has got to be the best option to altering you bass!!!!

[quote name='acidbass' post='545930' date='Jul 21 2009, 01:07 AM']I think he means that the difference is that THIS ...pickup has two small magnets at either side of each string, whereas one with single polepieces would look something like THIS ...albeit the 5 string version Danny[/quote] erm...i stand corrected..that will be the beer..

Simon..im not one for Ric's, but that is so beautiful..seriously im getting GAS for a Ric, and thats rare....!!!!!.Would love to play it...

I think there are a few things you need to take into account - Rick pickups are single coil, have pole pieces directly under the strings (rather than smaller ones either side>>>>QUOTE.. Erm....so does a jazz me love..

Insane Barrie...How many pickups!!!??? Why does it have 3 Aguilar OBP3's?? Must sound monstrously funky..

Sei Jazz 5; too many of these being sold here lately, guess they look great but are too clean and polite sounding unless you play in a jazz-fusion trio?>>>QUOTE There is nothing overrated about a Sei Jazz!
