Dubs Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 That's a lovely flame. Good luck with this, the Pro-M's are very nice basses, especially with the Wenge neck - I'm half tempted...
warwickhunt Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) A lot more versatile than they initially look as the dual coil pup does some clever stuff... bugg3red if I can recall what though! This'll get snagged sharpish; at least I hope it will otherwise my username forces me to make a daft offer! Edited July 27, 2010 by warwickhunt
GarethFlatlands Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 Hmm, still got £130 left from my synth sale and I'm in SOYO too. Anyone want to buy a Corvette rockbass?

[/quote] There is a pan control. I think the single pickup is actually made up of smaller ones. You can get a surprising variety of sounds out of different pan positions actually, especially considering how close the two coils are.
kets Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I had a wee shot of this bass whilst jimbobothy still owned it, when we were doing a trade and I can confitm it's a superp player with a nice low action and looks great. I actually considered buying it then, and I'm still tempted! Good luck with the sale.
TDM Posted July 27, 2010 Author Posted July 27, 2010 I've not got any scales but it's about the same weight as my MIM jazz bass, lighter than my Spector Euro, lighter than a Thumb NT4, lighter than a Thumb NT5 and slightly heavier than a Streamer Jazzman 5 if that gives you any idea?
BigJim Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 I've got a fortress pro-M with the same pickups. It's 2 pickups in the sweet spot with seperate bass and treble controls for each pickup. Amazingly versatile! Good luck mate, If it had had an extra string, I'd have it!!!
jimbobothy Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 This one has a different arrangement for the preamp, it's only 9V and has only one preamp. The earlier ones had two pre-amps with a bass/treble control for each of the single coils (also two batteries, hence 18V). This one has only one set of bass/treble controls for both pickups. The other variant on this one is that the volume is a push/pull pot, when you pull it there is a pre-amp bybass to true passive (handy when the battery dies mid gig). The other knob is pickup pan. I could get some nice sounds out of it when I had it, the wenge neck helped on that aswell. Worth the asking price all day long IMHO.
GarethFlatlands Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Now mine! Apart from the truss rod needing a slight tweak (a bit of buzz on the low frets) it's amazing. Can't wait to try it out amplified. Joe is also really good to deal with and a nice guy if he decides to sell anything else on here.
