Oh, and to the initial question, it sounds and played better than any other Fender (or bolted neck) bass I have played. Did I say I was sad??

YES!! In 1983 I bought a solid Rosewood Jazz neck for my Fender precision bass from Axe music in Edmonton when it was on Whyte Av before they moved to Wayne Gretzky drive. It was about $400 at the time, a huge number to pay for a neck-only part at that time, and I was a gigging musician, but...

Nice looking rig, Chef, I'm sure it sounds excellent. Don at LDS was a pleasure to work with, and although I agree that the SWR doesn't pump the real Watts, I have found a decent home for it in my mix down area where I can use it for a preamp for ODs, use as a practice amp, and also take with me...

Yeah, I use Bertha with a 210 Working Pro top, biamp and xover at 400Hz (300 for less power, more punch) single space 1400W amp, Ampeg SVP Pro, it's tons of speaker, best rock stack ever. I used 15's only in the day, but hazard not to try that again as you really need something to round out...

Thanks to Rebel above, I wouldnèt have known the tube positions without that post. Funny you would think they would put it in the user manual :bassist:

Same sort of problem, let me explain what I've done and see if this makes sense to anyone: Strong 60 Hz hum on the preamp, band members asking me to do something about it, seems to have little to do with tube quality, as I've changed a bunch. A buddy suggested that since I was padding the...

I saw a posting once from EMG somewhere, and I forget where. It read that the Hz's and SSD's were essentially the same pick-ups, with a small difference in the frequency response. This may have may accounted for your preference in the Hz's. I have two Korean Spectors with Hz's and two Korean...

Just poking in a note here, I read this recently and since I had a blown PAS 8" in the Silver, I searched high and low for info on the impedance (damned PAS don't have any numbering), finally talking to Don at LDS (as was referred here) and found out a few things: 1) The 8" PAS drivers in the...
