Can you fill me in some more on the preamp and what kind of tone I can expect? Are these the MM style pickups the acg site talks about? The body shape is really growing on me
G&L, OLP, Sub, Sterling Ray 34, CIJ fender, westone thunder or any other matsumoku built bass would be my choice second hand. If he wants something new I don't think much will stack up to the squier CV or VM range.
This is awesome for the cash! I really should be biting your arm off for it. It has all the mods I'm planning for my pb-70 plus a neck and a body. Someone buy it before it makes me end up single!
I had the jap US pickups in my jazz. They were sh*te! Really thin and quiet. So I got a set of sheds custom wound which are mega hot. I'm now thinking something with more bass response would be better, maybe even tempt me away from my P.
Just seen a red burst one, I think the word I want is un-pretty. I facking lave it! Played one once and although it felt huge it sounded great. Any noteable players? Did oasis use one at some point?
My japs fenders are both buzzing furiously. I may attempty first truss rod adjustment tomorrow. They both need their necks loosening first though. Is the risk of making it worse high?
The plan is....
1, get the SVT-4 serviced/repaired
2, either be happy with it's new lease of life and reliability or get shot and get a pre and power amp combo, or the tech 21 lm300
