Hi all, Invalid Link Removed I'm considering buying these for wedding band use, and was wanting some opinions on how these cope with passive basses? Also I'd be running through a PA and not an amp. I've read a lot of positive reviews on an earlier TalkBass forum for this particular model, but...

I see what you mean. To be honest it's only slight anyway and after adjusting the bridge saddles a little more it's not a big issue - it's just something that I'll always know is there but most people probably wouldn't care to notice ahah I do know a few techs in my area but I was just looking...

Thanks a lot! I did try the shim and it helped a lot :)

Hi guys, Sorry I've not logged in for some time! Thanks for all your advise on this. I've recently moved the neck back onto a VM Jazz so the overall action is a lot better now. I've still had to use the 'credit card' trick underneath the neck to body to allow the neck to sit more forward...

Hi all, I've recently put a Fender Jazz neck on a Squier P bass body just for a little change. I'm not very experienced in adjusting intonation so would like some more experienced advice. I can't seem to get the action to sit right on it, even after setting my bridge saddles super low. I've...

Woah, that's a first. Thanks!

Yeah that's my thoughts at the minute to be honest. As fretted cheap jazzes are a lot easier to come by, I might be best getting a decent conversion on it, then setting it up to my preferences etc and it'll probs play better than a cheap fretless Thanks guys

Hey guys, just wondering if any of you can point me in the right direction of any sites, companies, etc that I can pick up a cheap-ish fretless (preferably jazz) bass from. Maybe there are some fender copy companies that I could look into? Name suggestions? - I'm on a true student...

Thanks man, I'll make a note of that!

Hey guys, I recently bought one of these amps and I can't seem to find out the kinda' valves it takes at all, even in it's own manual... any ideas? I'd like to find out sooner rather than later so I can get researching on prices for when that dreaded time comes that I'll have to re-valve...

Hmm, I'm against it because I've heard Marshall's more modern bass gear has gone terrible, sounds stupid considering I just bought that cabinet I know but I figured the head is more important so why not buy that cabinet (which will most certainly do the job) and put the majority of my funding...

Yeah I won't be going any higher than a 500 watt head so it'll be fine, thanks!

Yeah okay, will do! But, would using a head such as a Hartke HA5500 do the job okay? 350 watts @ 4 ohms I think it is so I wouldn't be using anywhere near the full potential of the cabinet. Just wanting clarification really, to make sure I buy the correct head. Another head I have my eye on is...

What recommendations would you guys have for an amp head running through a Marshall MBC 4x10 cabinet? With 4 ohms @ 600 watts and it's full output at 1200 watts. I mean in terms of ohms and the actual output signal of the head, not the quality of the brand or anything like that. That'll be...

Just bought this cabinet as i couldn't resist the price especially for the 600 watt power feature. Next I need to buy a good enough head to power it but nothing TOO expensive. Thinking of something in between 350w and 500w at 4 ohms output. Can any experienced gear heads recommend a good amp...
