Can any help..i was playing a custom Jazz of mine last night, and it was really lacking in high note punch, and just didny cut through the band..It has a aguilar II pre with EMG,s, and 2 9v batts to power the pre, so its not lacking in power.....Now the lows and mids are punchy, but it seems to lack volume at the higher end..What could this be..Wrong amp settings? Any ideas

Check these out..New Direction Live..turn up the bass when listening, awsome slapping...i would love to be there WOW!!! after 3.00 it looks from the headstock, hes playing a Sadowsky..The drumming from 4.00 onwards is fantastic...

[quote name='Buzz' post='434283' date='Mar 13 2009, 11:49 PM']Are they custom luthier built ones to order? Or are they luthier stock basses? Either way, looks lush.[/quote] Buzz..they used to be Pensa Suhr..Being John Suhr and Rudy Pensa,, Rudy has a very famous shop in times square in NYC, thats been there for 30 years +..Jaco and Jimmi Hendrix bought guitars there apparently.. He is a custom builder, but has lots of stock of his Pensa jazz basses at, Rudys Music Stop..their on line.. as well as loads of other vintage Fenders, Ritters, Lulls, Warwicks etc... I think every luthier has stock basses somewhere, as well as built to order... Just to give you an idea.. Lou Reed, Christian Mcbride, Mark Knopfler and Victor Bailey are players of his instruments..

Hopefully the end of next week P..its been in the shop for a long time, so i guess needs setting up to what i specified.. Seeing as it was made in 2003, i thought it may have been played in the shop alot, but apparently its been behind glass all the time..

My name is Bubinga5 and im a Jazz Bass addict..I just ordered this from Rudy Pensa at Rudy's Music Stop in New York, and im bloody excited about it..Wanted to share.. I really wanted to get a Celinder, but they are just to expensive!! i have been looking at this bass for a few years, and always liked it..A bit ostentatious, but hey.. i have been speaking to an independant source who has played it, and she said it was killer.... Alder Body, Flame maple top, Ebony FB, Bart pups, Mid switch.. it advertises as a Bart pre, but Rudy told me he has fitted a Pensa pre amp.. Proper photos coming soon..

[quote name='molan' post='434117' date='Mar 13 2009, 08:11 PM']I haven't come across the latin song yet but loving Lighthouse from the self titled album at the moment. I was in Miami last year & we went out for a drive on the Sunday morning & I found a great gospel station on the radio. It was a convertible with a decent quality stereo & we got a few funny looks in some of the darker parts of the outer suburbs as we were two very white people cruising around with gospel blaring out at full volume Put me in a great mood all day from what I remember. . .[/quote] cant find Light House?

[quote name='Josh' post='434050' date='Mar 13 2009, 06:59 PM']Theres far too many to name who could've been on it instead, Dale Black is briliant though. Will do man, I just hope their not too Religious that it's too hard to even pay attention to the bass.[/quote] Yes the lyrics are about Jesus obviously, but i dont really care, because the music is so powerfull (although i cant help but think there faith is what makes the music so full of amazing energy) But i really dont mind the lyrics, its never 'in your face religious ranting' its just great musicians making great music with a religious content... They could be singing about drinking beer and melting plastic, and i wouldnt care The bass playing is sublime. i wonder what hes playing?? I can be be in a real crap mood, and this brings me up every time.. Molan i love the Latin style tune they do called 'Jump get Excited' Amazing stuff....

Dont forget Dale Black..He is incredible.... Thanks for that Josh..I love my Gospel/Urban Gospel..I gotta be honest the noodlers bore me to death, where is the groove??? Im a little puzzled as to why there in the vid?.Certainly nothing to do with Gospel...There bass playing is more about them, than the music!!... I could listen to Gouche's groove all day long!! PS please check out a band called 'New Direction' (i cant stress enough, how good there album is)

Im hearing from people, you have to file slots for the saddles on a BAII..whats that all about???

I have a Fender Jazz 75 RI.Although i love the tone i would like to improve it somewhat..Was wondering if i fitted maybe a Badass II bridge, would it make alot of difference to the tone??? Would the badass fit my 75? Thanks..

Any Modulus owners out there..I am curious to know what the tone is like on J4..I have heard they can sound a little brittle and lack warmth because of the carbon neck..is this true?

I have heard her say it..its Meshell- eNdege-ocello

What sort of cash are we talking for a new J4 update??..Prices seem to vary.. Have seen some for 1900.00 in for sale section, but there was one J4 (M Ndegeocello,s ex bass) going for 3500.00.. My budget is £3000.00 maybe a little more

Wanted to share this. IMHO this is the best in the pocket bass playing i have ever heard.. no chops,fills,runs,, just awsome feel, electric bass..Above all,. i love her ghost/percusive notes ,,any notes she plays, are set up so well by the amazing percusive touch she has!! If you dont dig this you dont get groove..IMHO..and that Jazz sounds so good!! The best groove player alive today [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VeqnL9IO-0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VeqnL9IO-0[/url]

Hey people..I have incurable GAS for a Celinder J4...Who plays these and how good are they..Not alot of info on the site?? Tonally whats it close to?? I am very close to emailing Chris..

I have the quilted maple 4 string...Very good bass..Loads of bass for the money....Hipshots tuners, SD pups, Push pull passive/active, and a great slap switch, string through body...

Too far, or i would be there in a shot.. Julian is awsome!!!

Try 'the american guitar center' they stock Lakland
