    Are SX basses really made with American swamp ash?

    I didn't suggest multi piece bodies were of lesser quality at all. Perhaps I should not have generalised but I know for a fact the fender reissues were marketed as 1 piece. And yes its aesthetics but when you get to a certain price point it usually is. I own an sx as I said and it sounds every...

    Are SX basses really made with American swamp ash?

    You'll find that the American high end basses such as fender American etc, will advertise bodies made of single piece swamp Ash whereas the sx I have is three pieces glued together. This would suggest sx are using the scraps not wanted by premium guitar manufacturers. Also the do charge €100 or...

    TC Electronic BG250 Club (Part 2)

    Its all good man either way your opinions appreciated. I decided to get my mate around. He males his own pedals and amps from scratch so im interested to see what he says. On the phone he pretty much said peizos aren't great and prone to making noise. He was talking about dropping the 15"...

    TC Electronic BG250 Club (Part 2)

    I might just disconnect it. That had crossed my mind. I had noticed it since i first bought the amp and it never caused issues gigging as i play ska/reggae and my treble is always rolled off. But i was getting lost in the mix on stage so i turned the treble up and found the hum was being picked...

    TC Electronic BG250 Club (Part 2)

    Cool I'll try put all scenarios tonight and post my findings tonight. Cheers bro Right so the noise is a high pitched frequency which occurs from the tweeter only when the bass is plugged in with the treble on the amp and or the treble on the bass is turned up. The cables are new fender cables...

    Whaddaya do when the gig is going really great?

    Here in ireland we drink on the job so needing to pee is a factor so breaks are good but keeping it going is usually best. Whats worse is the brass are usually pushing to keep going but its easier for them as they have down periods they can run off stage. Us poor bassists are usually foot to...

    TC Electronic BG250 Club (Part 2)

    That last post was a mess ha. Good question. I think with the bass plugged out it still makes the high frequency noise when the treble is turned up but ill double check tonight. Its not the bass though as i have 5 with every combination of pickup, mostly humbucking. And it occurs in all venues...

    TC Electronic BG250 Club (Part 2)

    Hi i have looked through a rake load of threads and can't seem to find the info i need. Maybe some of you in the club might be able to help? My bg250 115 has a high pitched hiss when the treble is dialed up. Is that normal for this amp? Would replacing the tweeter help with this? What wattage is...

    Fender Jazz Bass Pickups 2008 vs now

    Possibly not although I haven't played with the 2008 American jazz pickups I have played with the cs 60's. To me they sound like typical fender pups. I would recommend the 75/74 reissue pups. Very deep and tight low mids with clear highs. Just my opinion wait for someone who has better...

    Essex (SX) Bass Club - Part 15

    Here's a couple of jazzed I have real nice. had to change the tuners on the it's on the left due to the a string popping out of the nut but other than that they're great. pick ups a bit week and muddy when playing a gig not really cutting through the mix well so may have to swap them out.
