Well, I ended up taking the cover and PC Board off. Looks like the previous owner did patch select mod and tap tempo mod altogether. Not sure if I want to make use of this since tap tempo mod is not what I need the most. Maybe--- I will identify 3 pins for the patch select and make use of them...

Thanks Mo'Phat. I had looked into AshBass mod but didn't think the mod on my B3 was for the patch mod because of different connector. But if different connectors can be used for the same mod, then what's in my B3 might most likely be the patch mod since only 3 wires were used out of 6 from the...

Need some help identifying this mod on used Zoom B3 I just got. The previous owner put what looks like a DB9 (per google image search) connector in it. I took the back cover off to see where it was connected to and this is what I saw. There were 6 stripes of wires from the connector but 3...

Just got a PF210HE for my PF500, but I got a question for those with experience in Portaflex cabs. The flip top is not perfectly flat on my PF210HE, it seems. With handle down (gig - mode), the either ends of the top is slightly curved up. The latches still work, but they are really stiff to...

I don't have any info on the spec of those pickups. But there is a site for G&L enthusiasts that you can go and ask. Someone there sure can give you the info you are looking for, I am certain. You can Google basses by Leo, and you can find the forum.

I've owned both Tribute (L2000 & JB2) and U.S. made (L2000). Based on my experience, I'd say that there won't be much conceivable difference in sound in L2000. It's because Tribute L2000 uses same U.S. made pickups (from their site: "Two L-spec G&L MFD™ humbucking pickups made in Fullerton...

Thanks Mark, MD Stingray and Crusher. MD Stingray, BTW, I noticed that you are in Amsterdam. I will be spending a night in Amsterdam in May (one night of lay-over), on my way to fly back home from Croatia. I did the same last year in May, but it was a night when there was a football (soccer ;)...

Thanks MEKer. TheGreatSealof, we all know that GAS is a fact of life and we can never get rid of it. Still, I think you will do yourself a great service if you can get your hands back on a 50's RW P bass. I am not crazy about its relic work, but it is a crazy good bass in terms of feel...

Hi all, It's been a while since my last post because I've been doing all reading but no posting. But since I have two new basses to report, well ---, here I am with the report of NBD for the 1st time in 2 years. Last month, I decided to do a major overhaul in my gear. Sooo--- Out: One...

I also think 3V pre is the problem. I was really tempted to hook a 9V bettary to the pre in SR5000 to see if it would get better, but decided not to. Didn't want to fry the circuit. I will probably put a new pre (Aguilar, maybe) sometime in future. It is a too nice playing, great feeling bass...

Thanks walldaja~! I'm not normally into gold hardware, but they look good on this bass, I think. I have to say I REALLY REALLY like the pickup and preamp combo in this bass. The tone is really big, loud, punch, clear and aggressive. In fact, it sounds much better than my 2010 SR5000 Prestige...

Thank you SO much, Maxdusty. Much appreciated.

Hi all, Just picked up today a new to me used Ibanez SR1205 that I had ordered from a GC in a different location. Didn't have much time to test it yet, but I have a burning question about its serial number. Unlike typical Ibanez SR basses I've seen, the serial on this one does not have a...

G&L JB-2 Tribute currently $450 at MF Invalid Link Removed With their usual 10% or more off coupon, it comes close to your budget, and it beats MIM Fender and Squire in build quality, material, and sound, I think.

Thanks for all your replies and info. So it's not actually a bass cab but a subwoofer? This S12E-C came to the shop where I bought it as a trade-in with a Markbass III head, so it seemed the previous owner had used it as a bass cab with Markbass head. That's why I and also the shop assumed it...
