  1. Id have this but 'lack of frets is disturbing.'
  2. For me it just goes to show that a jazz sounds like a jazz. The only differences really are between pickup spacings. The SX however sounds just as good as the rest, and the fodera doesn't sound like it cost 10x the amount of the SX. For me the it's between the SX and the 62 jazz.
  3. Boss' ODB-3 should do the trick though. But the key to different tones on any drive is EQ, the better EQ options you have the better
  4. email from alex says I should be looking at between 2 and 3 weeks. my pieces of ply are cut.
  5. Nice nice bass, hope this gets snapped up quick.
  6. Looking for a drummer to jam with with, heavy dirty bass riffs, with mellow bits. Looking to get together probably once or twice a fortnight until something solid is in place. May look to adding a permanent vocalist, and other members.
  7. BB bass preamp. I love it so much, I have two, one low gain one high.
  8. Alex said mine should be ready start of August. Where is my cab?
  9. Not quiet sure on your power specs, odd set of numbers there. To me the lack of EQ, or a visible gain stage makes it a power amp, simple as that.
  10. Designed in the 60's for the future.
  11. Based in Nottingham. Ready for a committed band. Own equipment and travel not a problem. After something different, nothing like you average indie or rock band. Influences include, RATM, Public Enemy, Mad Capsule Markets, Don Broco and many more.
  12. I think fender sig basses are lame, although some as mentioned above do offer something that isn't available from the rest of the range. Franklin is a fretless P, for sometime Fender Japan's Takeshi Ueda 5 string sig P bass was the only available 5 string passive P bass. Some come with parts that aren't stock. I know if I really did want a 70's style jazz with a really thin neck a Geddy Lee will be my first port of call.
  13. Things like pickup hight while have to be balanced to me are still a personal thing. I have mine sky high, a luthier will no doubt lower them. I think I heard some one in notts pay £60, I'd told them I'd do it for a tenner. He replied suing but he changed the strings aswell, as if tha ts the hardest part.
  14. As long as the audience heard out front through the PA then I wouldn't worry about it. I never found my 500 watt Markbass heads lacking in power through a load of different cabs. It bugs when people take pity on people who choose to use small lightweight gear. I've always gigged with that kind of stuff and even on one or two occasions where we had no PA support found that it's more than adequate. There is even a live vid of my band where most of te bass sound is coming from or of those cheap 210 ampeg cabs and that's a 200w cab that is never going to break anyone's ear drums, and you can hear it pretty clearly all the way to the front of he stage.
  15. Hope the Sandberg is doing ok. Top bloke, deal was swift and easy, pleasure to business with you
  16. Sit right infront of the cab? The volume goes down aswell as up.
  17. SAME. I live in notts too so not too far away.
  18. It's not that it sounds right. It's that it sounds how it should. MBs preamp is very uncoluring so you hear what you sound like on your bass. Even the filters don't colour the sound too much(unless you go nuts with them)
  19. Yeah man, keep up. I prefer jazz basses, but depends what sound you want. Although I have never played a J whose neck pickup didn't sound like a P bass in a mix.
  20. Pretty much everything from WMD, I had the smaller bit crushing pedal once cost a fortune!!! Also the two BB preamps I know have would.have cost £180 new, and I consider anything above £150 to be to expensive to buy.
  21. The one and only time you could buy a WAL?
  22. [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1373551771' post='2138958'] Ok, MINE was a lot more than those posted here! You got a bargain, well, compared to mine anyway. Actually, it was £80 so not too much more but was more painful as they sent the guitar version and when we investigated I'd selected the wrong one (hadn't occurred to me there would be a guitar version!) so I had to pay to return it. I really wanted to buy it from Bass Direct but they had run out. [/quote] Wows, I got mine a fair few years ago from BD at £105 posted.
  23. Any way back on course. Brig that BASS in!! [media]http://youtu.be/uf8fdY2tipk[/media] And recorded! [url="http://youtu.be/b_yfX3RRNxU"]http://youtu.be/b_yfX3RRNxU[/url] turn it up...
  24. [quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1373546680' post='2138884'] Yes, I have one of these too, it's perfect and holds loads of other stuff, but a lot more costly than those being posted here. [/quote] Yes but well worth it though. I have one and convinced shep to get one too. I can stick my amp head in there along with all my cables nd many other bits and pieces. I trust it it a lot more than most other bags and cases I've had. My only issue is that my 22 fretted jazz basses are a bit of a squeeze.
