At music box (Cardiff) they have all sorts. Peavey Nitro bass heads, orange AD200 MK2, Ampeg SVT-2 pro, Ashdown 8x10s, Ampeg 8x10s, ashdown mag 4x10 combos, orange 4x10 and 1x15s and god knows what else. It's like aladins cave in there.

Yeah I meant right. Lol. Nooooo I'd never take a plane to it. I'm tempted to do the 'cut the red wire' mod so that the pickups are buckers all the time though. I took the 800 grit to the back of the neck a while ago. That made it loads nicer to play.

Colour me interested

Mine has been having a thrashing at practice recently. I love the warmth and thickness it has. The pickups are so loud in humbucker mode too. Tuning stays perfect in standard, drop D or drop C. It really is a lovely bit of engineering. I just wish it had a chamfer for my left arm.

Burke (from budgie) has a fretted one that he uses at jam nights and other places where he doesn't take take the 60s p bass he's never been seen without in budgie. I played it at a jam night once. Gorgeous bass in a strange ugly sorta way. Ridiculously heavy if I remember right though. That's coming from a T-40 player too.

The entire Gibson bass range. All sound great. I have a grabber that just sounds awesome to me. But. And it's a big but every last one is ridiculously neck heavy.

Hey Sam. Welcome to the forum, you're right it really is a great resource. I've learned a lot in my time here and am still learning now. I'm gonna check your band out next time I'm on a computer. Sounds sorta DFA1979 esque . I enjoyed reading your blurb. Enjoy the forum. Ash

Anyone fancy a car pool to bass direct for a butchers? We really need a good bass shop somewhere in South Wales.

Welcome to the forum. With reference to stage fright I found the best thing is to just grab the bull by the horns and go for it. Maybe some Dutch courage would help, but not too much that you can't stand up! You sound like an accomplished musician and a confident person so I'm sure you'll be fine. I really enjoyed reading your intro by the way. I'd love to visit Michigan. Well that said I'd love to visit America in general. Enjoy the forum. I've learned a lot and made some good friends here.

They look interesting! Have you any experience?

That's a real beauty

I think I'm going to go with nordy pickups, stupid as it sounds I want the pole pieces exposed, not covered in epoxy or what ever. The question now is which preamp? East? Audere? Sadowsky? ACG? I don't mind weather it's 3 or 4 knob, if I need a new cavity for the jack I'll probably put a strat style one on the front as opposed to an underneath one. Edit - I should mention I want volume for either pickup, 3 cut and boost band eq, and coil tap on the preamp atleast. I may consider a pickup switch instead of the twin volume controls. Truth be told I'm a little bewildered by the array of options available.

I'd love for there to be j sized pickups that can sound like an MM humbucker but I really don't think they're going to pull off what i want. I'm after complete transformation from the pickups. I don't want a jazz sound but fatter, I want as close to a music man sort of sound as i can get if you know what I mean.
