Got one in my Shuker. They're very nice. The MM active tone is great. Perhaps a bit smoother sounding than my Stingray, but still a great fat aggressive tone. And as a single coil its a classic Jazz tone. Jon Shuker uses them on a lot of his basses, and I think some of the Sandbergs have them fitted (on the MM/J models).

Sold Alan a pedal. Quick payment, and a very easy transaction. Thanks!

Sold a pedal to Lozz. Good comms, quick payment. Thanks!

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1328822223' post='1533380'] I've just got an EBS Multicomp myself Can I ask which mode you use and the settings? I've tried the 'tube' mode on a gig but have had to go back to the drawing board as it was changing the sound more than I intended [/quote] The tube setting does change the tone noticeably. It seems to warm up/muddy up the tone depending on your take. If you're looking for a transparent compression I find the multiband setting with compression at about 12 o'clock ideal - really good for smoothing out peaks and tightening the bottom end without changing the basic tone.

Traded a Hipshot d-tuner with Muzz. Good comms and a very easy transaction. Thanks!

Ric basses have the same. I guess the benefit is that the knobs allow you to blend the pickups, but the pickup selector then allows you to toggle quickly between pickups mid song. Personally I just set everything on the Ric to full and leave well alone!

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1328635482' post='1530453'] The seller said the bridge wa removed from a '73 but has now acknowledged that it could have been added at a later date. [/quote] My '73 has got screws. I'm pretty sure Allen bolts were 80s onwards

Another recommendation for the EBS Multicomp from me. Simple to use, and some subtle usable tones with the multiband and "tubism" settings.

Excellent transaction with Alain. Thanks!

Sex on Fire. I hate the song, but the audience seem to love it.

That looks fantastic!

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1328445517' post='1526961'] You know, everyone goes on about how crap Ric bridges are but the early aluminium ones don't experience tail lift at all (I know, I've got 2). The worst bridge I've ever had by a mile was the original one on my early '70s P Bass. I play really lightly and I still couldn't get the strings to stay where they were. [/quote] Agreed. I've never had a problem with the bridge on my Ric, and as you say, its more stable than a bog standard Fender bridge.

[quote name='woodster909' timestamp='1328313674' post='1525573'] got to be the jetglo for me, here's mine but they do look good in most colours [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/dscf5983x.jpg/"][/url] [/quote] Woodster - you've stolen my bass and Avatar Got to agree on the Blackstar - stunning looking basses

I have no idea what the Fernandes is! I would have guessed the Precision, but I'm thinking its a trick question so I'll opt for the Squier. Great track BTW

That looks fantastic!

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1327827951' post='1517184'] Word of warning on the Gotoh 201 - I fitted one on a MIM Jazz a couple of years ago. Ignoring other considerations (most of which are subjective anyway), the thicker baseplate made it impossible to get a really low action on the Jazz. I (just) achieved an action I was happy with, but only by having the 'G' saddle virtually flat on the baseplate. [/quote] Wouldn't shimming the neck solve that?
