[quote name='GregBass' timestamp='1379359578' post='2211805'] I gave one away [/quote] Ah, there is another like me

For that money it should be built in Paradise by 4 breasted maidens! Who come with it.

Who knows what management decisions brought them to this state or what crazy things they'll do trying to get out of it! Buy your US Fenders now, while you can!! [/quote] Or wait for the fire sale?

Brace yersel Mabel, import alert http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2013-Fender-Japan-MIJ-Ltd-Ed-66-Jazz-RI-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Olympic-White-/141059135566?pt=Guitar&hash=item20d7c7984e

Which manual Alex? I asked here because there are a lot of enthusiastic users and I know you are always run off your feet trying to keep up with demand! I always have the limiter on, the clip/pad light doesn't come on. The Jazz sounds marvellous through it, as does the Lakland. Tonight the P pup will be attacked with measuring stick and screwdriver, but really it's going to be Sat night before I can gig-experiment. Absolutely pointless in the little spare bedroom. I am starting to think a combination of pup adjustment and using the gain/master differently to how GK suggest in the handbook may bring about a solution. For a long time gig volume on previous amps was achieved by setting gain to just clip, backing off a touch then setting master, but this is not what the GK handbook recommends. Finally, we were playing the Fox and Goose in Southport on Saturday night, when I was struggling. For the first time in the 30+ gigs I have used this, a young bass player wandered over at the end and said "Is that a Super 12". "Yes" beamed I. "Sounds great" sayeth he. "Cheers" sayeth I. 5 minutes later the drummer berated me for being a bitching old git.

Actually re- reading this has given even more food for thought. I have slavishly followed the instruction booklet, ie, master at 3pm, gain to suit, usually around 8/8.30pm and contour thing off. Our gig Saturday coming is one of the less bust ones, so will have a live prat about before the sound check. There won't be too many to upset at that time.

Some interesting stuff here guys, many thanks. Except you Mark . Shut up !

Looks like Rockinbetter Mk 11 RickenWaffen don't do weekends unless it's raining on Hall's golf course!

Thanks folks, lot of stuff to have a look at there. I'll start with the pup I think. With this amp, every bass sounded superb through the Schro. Worst comes to the worse, I'll just use a jazz

[quote name='bassmayhem' timestamp='1379078894' post='2208457'] If you like the 1126, then the D2126 is pure heaven. I've ordered two of them with the same appearance as this one: It will have the same black/crème vinyl, but the old brown cloth like on old Fender Tweeds, also two "TV screens" per cabinet front. I post pic's when I get them delivered... [/quote] Oh Lordy, a 212 that looks like this Barefaced for sale, mine!

So I have a Super12V, gk mb500. US jazz sounds bloody marvellous at a gig, with just leaving everything flat, except bass to about 1 o'clock.. My 2012 US Precision doesn't though. Not farting out exactly, but an unpleasant low distortion. Last night, bass rolled back to about 9o'clock on the amp, low mids back to 11 0'clock, high mids about 1 o'clock, treble 1 o'clock. I put the contour thing on at about 12 o'clock and that helped a bit. But still too much unpleasant bass and if I rolled the tone up on the bass itself it got very harsh and trebly. Kindoff at my wits end with this as I really prefer playing the P. Bad Co to Metallica/Maiden pub band, 40 or more gigs pa.. Any ideas gratefully accepted, BEFORE I sell it and go back to lovely Schroeder The amp handbook isn't much help as it gives recommendations for 2 pup basses. Thanks in advance for any guidance peeps, cheers, Karl.

Another with mouse mat Mark.

As should the Shuttle

I know this feeling. The Bass Gallery have somehow got the SEI that I commissioned a decade ago. I sold it to Loz of this very parish about 5 years ago when we were SERIOUSLY skint. It's in the Gallery at £1300 and I can't afford to buy it back.
