Seriously considering an SX and selling on the MIM P I've just acquired[/quote] You wont need any encouraging from either myself, Paulh or Oldgit. The bass itself costs £55.....yes....£55. Add a few fees and VAT and you get it for £120 ish. Then mod away til yer hearts content. I would go as far as to say these are easily on par with MiMs, and for less than half the dosh. Go figure....... If you do take the plunge, order sooner rather than later as the Ps at Rondo tend to go very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Here is a quick video of me playing along to one Peds loops from [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=9605"]"The Groove Library"[/url]. SX Precision, totally stock (apart for the scratchplate) DI'd and with or EQ or nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarPig Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) SX SJB-LTD2, rare beast, never seen another one around on the internet, let alone in person. Flame maple neck and fingerboard, gold hardware, now fitted with DiMarzio Model J's. £200 well spent id say, came with a custom SX case, amp and strap from ebay.

That's a pretty decent sound from a very cheap bass, great playing too, not so sure about the dancing though... Reckon I'm going to have to get me one of those SX basses!

paul h Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Cheers Eude! I thought the dancing as the best bit! I'm actually sitting on a gym ball, which I thoroughly recommend for anyone with a bad back, so much better than a chair. So the dancing is part feeling groovy, and part unintentionable wobbling! I am really pleased with the sound of this bass, so much so that I am not going to mod it at all. It's got a very even tone a fair bit of growl with the old fingers and a good P slap sound. Can't beat it for the price. I am having trouble resisting the urge to sell some of my other gear so I can get another one. Or two. P.

Alfie Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I know I already posted the pics on BC a couple of days ago, but they also belong in this thread. My SX SPB-57 MSL: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul h Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Very nice indeed. Dare I say an unusual colour scheme? Looks darn good! And my wife would kill for that fireplace! P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I was too cheap to get a custom made pickguard, so I bought a whole load of sticky-back-plastic from a car pimping place and stuck it on. I tried orange first, but it ending up making my bass look too much like Jodie Marsh. I may try lime green next, metallic silver is wierd enough to allow you to pull off a whole load of colours.

Jamesemt Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Alfie - is that a standard colour? Never seen that before. Just ordered a Photo flame 3TS P fretless and a Jazz 62 in LPB to go with my Vintage White Jazz. I'll post a shot of the threesome when they arrive!

I might try the sticky back plastic technique in the future, reminds me of Blue Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 It is very easy to do, and the self adhesive vinyl they use to put words and pictures on racing cars is pretty tough. The only tricky bit is cuttimg out the holes for the pots, but they are covered by the knobs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
