ead

Hey there Mr Zed I haven't seen you in ages, not since the gig at the Seven Stars to be precise; I hope you're keeping well. You would be most welcome to come round and try it once it's landed.

I've just taken a punt on one of the Sadoewsky MIC Metroline fretless J/J basses. Looks like v3 as some updates on the early runs and hopefully many of the issues fixed. Due this week all being well.

I might suggest the tier system to Mrs ead in relation to shoes and handbags. On the other hand I have become quite attached to my dangly bits

My sincere apologies

Have the other 11 fallen over?

So the absolute key test is now: Is S-1>n+1, could also be expressed as is S>n+2

I've had a couple and they have been very nice. Worth checking it's a wood body not the weird gluey composite thing. Ask for a pic without the pickguard and, if he'll do it, of the neck pocket. Hard to tell from your pics but it looks like there may be wood-grain there. The 'featureless' bodies are the ones to watch out for.

I used to own one of these and I have to say mine sat flush to the bass. There are the best two pics I have.

I think the only one in store is the Basic 4, the rest are to order. @Quatschmacher I have a TT4 here in Preston you are welcome to come and try but not quite what you were asking for.

Respect, unlined fretless and vocals. Wow!

Unlined here, and yes I feel your pain. I do the odd chord but not too much widdly widdly. More about inserting the odd harmonic for me.

I'm rather enjoying an imitation '57 transition P bass atm. That is to say the single coil p/up with the more carved body. Sit's nicely in the mix and with flats on sounds lush.

Or maybe Sparkly Kermit?

Strange the way EMI works. I always thought the office was electronically noisy as it's also my music room but I now wonder if it's just the old laptop.

Haha fixed. I was actually my (quite old) laptop that cased the effect when it was switched on. Weird.

Matt just acquired a bass from me. He very kindly agreed to meet half-way which meant a journey of an hour and a half for him. Great guy, we had a nice chat as part of the formalities. A genuinely good guy to deal with and a top banana to boot. Deal in confidence BC peeps.

Apols in advance for the self-promotion but I have a set of essentially new HB7s listed on here atm.

Warning prog content.... OK now that's out the way the two I have most favoured have been Fish's final studio album Weltsmerz and also Big Big Train's latest Common Ground.

Thanks @hubrad, I only noticed when one half turned over accidentally when I was messing around changing the pots over to see if it was one of them.. I was actually thinking whether active EMGs might be a better option in the end.

Hey, good to hear from you. Yes I tried all the combinations of that I could.

Hi folks I recently acquired a set of EMG passive PJ pickups and on installation the P pickup is really noisy. The J is silent as a mouse per normal EMG standards. So far I have: double-checked the wiring tried floating the bridge (per their active pickups) Tried reversing the connectors Mr Bagsieblue very kindly came round with his spare pickups and an EMG passive vol pot so I could do a bit of swapping around but nothing changed One thing I notice is that if I turn the pickups upside down the hum disappears. If I just rotate them it makes no difference. Any help welcome at this point as I've run out of ideas.
