    MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe

    I guess im going to sell it.. I don't thinki will have a need for it. I play in two rock cover bands. It is a great pedal, and the tones are kliller, but the low strings just don;t sound well.

    MXR M288 Bass Octave Deluxe

    Thanks Rafescow.. your right, I am very inexperienced with the use of this pedal.. so, I would glean from your response that it is not a pedal that can be used for every song... say for example, would by AIC.. it just doesn't sound good on this tune at all..

    I just bought this pedal. Our guitarist really spoke highly of it and it had some really great reviews, and demos on youtube... I got it yesterday, took it to rehearsal and it seemed to muddy up by tone really bad on the E string.. I had to cut the girth and growl knobs to about 7 or 8 oclock to...

    1983 Precision Elite I w/ gold plated hardware.

    The main reason would be that the gold plating has been flaking off the bridge and tuners, and i want to put a black pick guard on the black bass and the pick ups are also white.. and the p/u's AND the pick gaurd has faded to the yellowish shade of off-white due to age.

    1983 Precision Elite I w/ gold plated hardware.

    Thanks for the thoughts on this guys.. that's exactly why i posted that.. i certainly don't want to decrease the value of the bass. so i'l leave it as is. I figured the collective knowledge on this board would steer me in the right direction.. Any idea on wht this bass would be worth?

    1983 Precision Elite I w/ gold plated hardware.

    Yes, been playing it all weekend.. i am having trouble justifying the need to change the pick ups out.. i just prefer passive.. my other bassis a MIM jazz with 1/4 lb. p pickup installed at the neck and it sounds amazing as well. i will be using both for some shows, and i hope i don;t get...

    1983 Precision Elite I w/ gold plated hardware.

    I just traded my CIJ Geddy Lee Signature Jazz bass for a 1983 American made Precision Elite I bass. I wanted some thoughts and opinions on the Elie bass, and whether or not you think this was a good trade for me.. My thoughts are: This bass isn't in as good a cosmetic condition as the GL bass...
