[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1350089213' post='1834573'] Gig verdict......Ace. I had no problem being heard on stage with a 6 piece tonight-even with just one cab,I was plenty loud enough. Tonally,I was really happy tonight. I've been using 10" speakers for pretty much all of my gigs since '99,and have never bothered with 12",but it was great. Importantly,I was getting the sound that I want-clear and full range (the bass was a Warwick LX5,if you're interested),even with the OC2,it never got muddy. There's no attenuator for the horn but I didn't need one because it wasn't harsh like some are,even when slapping. Plus,it was dead easy to carry. I'm not just saying this,but the MiBass 550 and the Mi12" cab is a great choice for a gigging musician,both for tone and transportation. [/quote] Sweet good to know. Cheerz, John

I built a wiring kit for Peter then he decided to have a sight seeing bass fixing drive about so he brought the bass along for a little 'fettling'. We spent a very basschat hour or two, like you do, I almost had to forcibly remove my AV '62 P from his grip before we said goodbyes he liked that one Excellent guy to deal with, no problem in recommending him completely, a diamond geezer. A real pleasure to meet you Peter, call in & say hello any time you're passing again & many thanks for the tipple I hope you enjoyed the rest of your journey around. Cheerz, John

Wot no pictures

Good to hear! I found the LB 112 a little lacking on it's own, that's why I run it with a mini 48, together they're excellent. Looking forward especially to a review on the mi10 to pair with my MiBass 220.

There is tons written about the Greasebucket if you Google it, you'll find all the info you need except what it sounds like to you Who do you know that's "junked theirs" - ask them why

You ain't seen me - right! Well done to all involved in the work that goes on behind the scenes

One problem you might find is I believe the Japanese cup & the jack socket they use is an metric thread/hole size, if the replacement socket you have is a Switchcraft the thread is bigger, if it's a replacement Alpha socket you'll be OK, except they don't last so long, which is why it needs replacing

Are they in the online shops yet?

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1349873724' post='1831580'] interesting! so Just to get this right in my head. You would do a full electric kit which id simply replace the originals with? il pm u for prices if you'd prefer, but Im guessing it would be an easy fix! [/quote] Yes I do a drop in replacement kit, spanner for the pot nuts & small screwdriver required & a spare 1/2 hour, (10 minutes if you're quick!) PM please if you're interested for prices & details. Cheerz, John

Hi Kongo, I would happily have a look at it for you but I'm way down South. Not the sort of thing to be sorted without hands on I fear. Good luck in finding someone local, Cheerz, John

[quote name='lobematt' timestamp='1349898811' post='1832077'] Hey everyone! I've got a standard Fender Jazz, knobs are vol,vol,tone. I wanna rewire it as master vol,pickup blend,tone. Any ideas how to go about it?? Thanks [/quote] Easy enough - [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=jazz_bass_blend"]http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=jazz_bass_blend[/url]

You could have a look at my feedback Cheerz, John

[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1349811519' post='1830942'] Your pickups are out of phase. Swap the wires on one of them. [/quote] +1 Most likely! IIRC the SD P/J blend circuit works better without the ground to the blend pot body, apart from that both diagrams are good.

Many thanks for all the input & wise words, I'll certainly relay your thoughts but I have a feeling it's going to be shop bought most likely Bonners as they're close [url="http://www.bonnersmusic.co.uk/drums-acoustic-drum-kits.irc"]http://www.bonnersmusic.co.uk/drums-acoustic-drum-kits.irc[/url] or online. From my experience with Bonners - they never do anything 'bargain price'! So I'll put forward some online recommendations to maybe save him a few bob, having said that - he's not short of readies it seems! I don't think he's got the time, patience or any knowledge at all to look at 2nd hand & as it's to be a 'very big' Christmas surprise, new boxed & all that will be what he's after I'm sure. Cheerz, John

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1349776013' post='1830251'] If he doesn't want to get annoyed with him tell him to go electric [/quote] Very true - first thing I said to my mate was - he'll drive you mad but he wants a 'real kit'

A mate's son is interested in getting a kit & I'm getting asked what he should buy him! I know nothing - but saw this - any good???

Why not advertise 'like minded muso's wanted' & see what/who's around/also looking in your area? Start something yourself maybe

I have what looks very much like one of those bodies which I have fitted a used Vintage (JHS) P-bass neck on. I filled the 4 holes in the neck with wooden BBQ skewer & PVA, then re drilled to suit. No problems. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/22082011853.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/kjon51/22082011858.jpg Cheerz, John

Bloody heck! How long have Fender been doing Dayglo Pink? It looks good & I bet it sounds good & feels good too

At the risk of repeating myself, (Gary has had a kit or 2 from me before ), he's a top bloke to deal with, always a pleasure Cheerz, John

Oh to be young again you've got the rest of your life to play bass, enjoy your little'n while you can If it's any consolation, I'm 61, was married for 25 years, been divorced 12 years, retired 11 years, kids left home long time since, there's just me, the 'mistress!', the cat & the fish Guess what - there's still not enough hours in a day to settle down with a bass uninterrupted for an hour - even 5 minutes sometimes

Just remembered - weeks ago Howard made me a special little black [s]dress[/s] control plate for a Jazz bass. 1st class job as always, cheap as chips & even went to extreme length to post it while on his hols, (from somewhere in the lake district I think!). He's a 24 carat gold fella. Cheerz Doc, John
