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.

Thanks for the suggestion, folks I'll try that.

The pages seems to be languid in they way they load. I can be typing and everything just freezes before catching itself up. I've tried a few different websites and they all seem to be fine, just this one really?

I bet this J bass can produce some interesting tones. Something quite appealing about it https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194460756020?hash=item2d46c3a834:g:EHcAAOSwxkxhdDaF

I have one of these I was considering selling, would it be of interest to you?

Rustier knobs and plate already fitted The bridge looks surprisingly shiny in the pic compared to what it is actually like.

It's a fair point @NancyJohnson makes. If it's a unique bass then this ACG would be mine I think. As close as you can get to a custom bitsa and costing significantly less than an American Std Jazz (or whatever they are called now) this is a cracking bass and gets used a lot at ead towers.

I got this from a guy in Stoke iirc:
