For my gigs. Helix Stomp, Beringer P1 for IEM, Shakers for Sympathy for the Devil. P Bass. Dun.

Last night in London.

I got called upon last minute to sub for my old band this weekend....the problem being that I stripped my bass down so I could paint the body (it's a PJ with GZR's). What to do! I then remembered I had a beater P bass body hanging around and also relaised I could simply eliminate the J pick up...

Oh ya. As I remember that's a tasty bass line!

My current groove is Johnny Marr doing "How Soon is Now"....the classic Smith's song. Simple bass line, but I love it. I always find myself doing a few run throughs even though it has nothing to do with what I should be practicing!

Well. Last night, an hour before band rehearsal I stopped by and picked up the bass. Strung with some new round wounds, but not great round wounds. The bass was actually too twangy. Probably a combination of strings I don't jive with as well as Aguilar pick ups I may not jive with. However, the...

I'm sold on ash now that I've had the chance to AB these two basses. So much more punch with the ash body/maple neck...70's spacing.

Ya, it's funny, you always hear it's strings and pick ups. But there's certainly more to it...and I know it's been done to death, but I thought I would just share my two cents (pence) as I've never had the chance to A/B anything before. I was going to flip the AV '75 reissue and keep the HWY...

So. I recently purchased a 2008 HWY One Jazz bass. I then got notice I had won an American Vintage '75 Reissue Jazz on ebay. Quite suprised as I was the only bidder so got it for the starting price...which was about half the price of the going rate of used AV '75 jazz basses. The AV '75 came...

Maruszczyk Jazz Bass with upgraded Aguilar 70's pickups £550.00 This is for sale near me here in the UK for £550 ($667). Seems like a pretty good deal? What are the thoughts on the neck shape on these....or are they all custom shapes?

An update. I had my Helx Stomp for sale and had to take the as down. I stopped playing full time with my regular gigging band and thought I didn't need the Helix anymore and could use the money. However, I still fill in time to time and do play every know and then with another band and went...

I think I like the white pickguard.

Bass Guitar Similar To 4001 4003 For Spares Or Repair | eBay Any ideas on the make of this one? Might give it a punt.

Great looking bass! If the EMG's didn't sound sp darn good I was was going to go the route of putting a set of Lindy Fralin's I picked up used. Apparently wound for "that 70s vibe" and also splurge on a period correct harness. I had an American Original P bass and can attest that they were a...
