I’m just being silly I’m sure.

I’m Just chatting with a fellow BC’er...I know this is a real “first world problem...” Just mulling it all over.

The nice thing about the white jazz is that the pickups have a lovely warm sound, so I leave the tone control wide open all the time. If I’m playing “slap” stuff, I use both pickups on full. If I’m playing fingerstyle...roll the neck pickup back a bit. Easy...

There you go, rubbin the nubbin.

Yeah, 22 years in and the white jazz has just stayed the most “special” bass I’ve owned.

Taking both to rehearsal on Monday, will record two songs with each. And will review

Schaller F-121 Passive Volume Pedal from the 70's

Had one, for years...used it sparingly. Not the best...better than the bespeco vm12 I had recently. Not in the same league as the Dunlop one I should’ve just kept. -
Having a proper wobble over this actually. had a bit of a mad day and was only discussing with a good mate that a bass sale wasn’t the be all and end all...😳 I’ve had a drink or two though. So...

I’ve wanted a Modulus Flea for years. Have got one... Then there was a thread about jazz basses not cutting through. I’ve had my 64 custom shop for years and it’s the love of my life other than Mrs T. Listened to the recordings of rehearsals with my 64 CS and the rehearsals with the modulus... Erm. The Jazz sounds perfect. And the Modulus sounds cool, but you can hear I’m messing with the bass control a lot... Well. I feel a bit stupid right now.
-
Just listened to a gig where I used my jazz. has totally put me off track as I thought the modulus flea was a better fit...reality is that the jazz sounds loads better in the band setting. errrmagehherd....😳

I’m hoping my fender sells, and my car bill isn’t as shocking as expected...how unlikely is all of that...- 11 replies

It’s a late 90’s/Early 2000’s galactic purple or cosmic purple, something like that. Standard series p/j. They also did British racing green around this time.

Owen Electronics in Manchester, hes good

Scrap that - original buyer didn’t have enough...

I think a lot of the demonstrators are endorsers who play in styles I wouldn’t. It’s just a bit one dimensional when they’re not available to play everywhere. Do the NG modes have Darkglass preamps?

Think if you’d sneezed hard enough you’d have missed it

Lots of the Dingwall videos sound like this, like a weird djent/mathcore weird sound. Like all the bits I’d take out of my sound... Anyhow, that’s how they probably need to sound to cut through mad scooped chugging guitars haha.

Looks awesome

Quick google suggests Alder.

Have had to list it guys. Car is going to cost me a small nations savings to sort so needs must. Which makes me sad.

Well... annoyingly the car needs a Major service as well as new brake pads and discs. The pot post Christmas is very empty and I need a few extra quid just in case there are any nasty surprises with the motor. So this was bought about 3 months ago on a whim. It needed cleaning, needed a new jack socket and a couple of other bits. Fender Machineheads were a bit battered, these have been replaced with a brand new set of Schaller BMF’s. Bridge was Cosmo black where the rest of the hardware was normal Black...so bought a Gotoh 201b. Jack was temperamental so replaced with a new Neutrik unit. Some chips on headstock, sympathetically sorted. Looks loads better. knobs are the f top ones but the caps were missing on two of the three so I put some 80’s metal knurled ones on which really look the part. The neck plate was scratched and worn, just looked a bit of a state. Replaced with a gotoh unit. Battery box was missing some paint and I couldn’t source a replacement so flattened it back to uniform metal. Looks good. Strap buttons as above. Replaced. It’s 32/33 years old, and shows it - not smashed up, but shows swirls, few minor knocks and some buckle rash. It’s cool, genuine roadworn - not a relic though 😉 All original parts will be included with the bass. I could ship it. Be about £20 in UK. Nut is 38mm, weight is a pleasant 9lbs. Looks brilliant, sounds great. Low action. Controls - volume/tone/frequency big switch is pickup selector. small switch is; 1. Preamp off (pointing away from neck) tone control works 2. Preamp on (middle - 1 set of frequencies) tone control inactive 3. Preamp on (towards neck, 2nd set of frequencies) tone control inactive.
