Yeah, I kinda want to know the same thing.

Time for me to claim my number. I am now the owner of one brand spanking new Rumble 500C, and in a sealed box even. I waited until I had at least one gig under my belt with it first though.. Initial thoughts are yeah, it's loud enough, pretty enough, and (almost) light enough. Lol. Now if I can...

Any input anyone?

Hey all, I figured this deserved it's own thread. I've searched hi & lo and can't find a lot. I know this cab was not popular due to being not very efficient, but I do LOVE the form factor and I want to keep using them. (I have 2 of them) From what I've read, this is my best possible hope of...

2 ohmers are pretty rare actually. I know carvin does some. I have an iAmp 800 and that does it too. But all the other big guys don't. Especially class D. Maybe someday. In the meantime, I suppose the fan fix is fairly easy. I know I could fix this myself if I could just get the right part ...

I don't need or want to sell it. I do need to fix it though. I need a source for a replacement thermostat. That's my 1st problem. The cabs is where it gets stickier. I really love the form factor. 2x12, 400 watts, 30 some odd lbs. And built in dolly/handle. What's not to love?

Hey all. I have a quandary & I'm not sure what direction to go in. I have a great little rig that works for me, but it's getting a little old. Some problems are developing. So, the rig: An SWR 350 burgundy face head pushing either 1 or 2 (depending on need) Ampeg portabass PB212-H cabs. I know...

OK, I think I solved the mystery. Closer inspection reveals a non factory solder job on the half with black wires. So, the black wires are not stock issue, the white ones are. I believe that's how I acquired them, from a bass that was repaired, but then it broke again. I replaced the pup to...

The poles are exposed, but not raised. But this is some nitty-gritty that helps in the overall quest. But my basic question is still: Why is one half all white wires, and the other half is all black? They (it) came from a bone stock squire P bass. What possible benefit would the factory have for...

This is good info mega. My original question was about the 2 halfs. On one of them the wires are white. On the other half they are black. I was just wondering which half was which. I guess the question boils down to, do the different colored wires signify a different coil wind of some sort...

Hey thanks. So you're saying I should just wire it up in series and be done with it.

Hey all. I'm getting ready to put together a parts bass/project and I have a squire P set I'm going to use in combo with a piezo bridge. My question is on the split pup; one side has 2 blacks, and the other side has 2 whites. How do I tell which is the treble side pup, and the bass side for...

That upper bulb looks bad to me. Pull it out and test it with your meter.

I have the P version also. Like this one:

I'm thinking a nice wide suede strap will take care of the dive issue.

I hear ya on the 21 frets. It's the one thing the Jazz Bass is missing for me. That's why I have a standard tweak that I use for all my J's.... A choice piece of old broken hickory axe handle wood, some files and sandpaper, and a little double sided tape and I have my high E back. (Not shown...

I don't have a good scale, but it is lighter than a slab body. Unfortunately it does neck dive a little if I let go. Here's a side shot to show no contours. Guess my camera is a little old. Here's the best I can do on the actual burst.

Binding?

Well, I took the plunge. Mine just arrived today. Of course they take better pictures than I can so I'll use theirs for now.

Hi. To be brief, I need a "fuse" which looks like a tube type light bulb for an old VW dome light. Anyone know what I mean? I have an Ampeg portabass PB212H powered by an SWR Headlite that I use for practice because it's light & loud. Last night at practice the bottom speaker started...

Wow, I haven't seen that in years. That is exactly my old cabinet. But I used a Sunn concert bass head with it. Mine was loaded with SRO's. My first "big rig" back then. The refrigerator handles were the worst! I actually still have the old dolly under my PV 1516. Miss the sound of that old...

Volker: Hogwash. 1.False. My old '78 stays in tune no matter what. 2. True but what does that 2nd sentence mean? 3. False.

Except for the non-tort pickguard!:spit:

PS. What's up W/ the kitty pirates? I been playing bass for a long time an' I ain't never seen no kitty pirates fer real... I've always been kind of a dog, myself....

I just thought the pup placement was kinda strange I mean, it has exposed poles. C'mon people. OK. so it's a prototype. But a G BIN? Ouch.

Hey, at least that blanket is gone!

Yep, interesting arrangement to say the least. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2537319366&category=16222

Here's the "showroom" pic. Lemme see if I can find that other nice pic.

I have an Epi les paul 5 string in vintage burst. The flamed top looks very nice for the price I paid. For the money, it really does have some nice features, like body binding, and large inlays. Maybe not the greatest inlays, but hey, whattya want? Does anyone know, does Epi use real flamed...

I can't spend any more money right now. It's an even swap. They're probably +/- $50 each in value.

Thanks so much for that close up Nino. That has answered my question. I must now own one of these. Great. Now I have real GAS.

Or not do? I have a chance to trade my '88 Mapleglo 4003 Ric for a 200? black EB stingray. I haven't played the Ric since I switched to a fretless Pedulla Rapture many moons ago. I've also gravitated to the J world. But I've never played a stingray ever. I'm intrigued with the idea of turning a...

Really!. Can you take a close up of the bridge? I thought the only space adjusting bridges were found on Warwick, like on my Fortress Masterman. I'd like to see Fenders bridge. (No one around here has this bass as far as I know)

Nice J. What is the center to center string spacing at the bridge if you don't mind my asking?

What strings are used on basses with reverse headstock? I have a 5 string that's got the B string as the longest one. The G string is pretty short. If I use a "normal" set, I'm afraid the B won't reach the tuner! Like, what do they string up Thunderbirds with? I've never seen any strings branded...

I don't know why, but it's gotta be a Fender. MIA. I've been looking for a beast like this for a while now. Can't find any. If I do see a fretless, it has lines, and is brown burst, not 3 tone. To me, this is is the quintiessential jazz bass.

Yep, I finally know what I want. I want this, except I want a blank ebony board. (Minus the inlays, of course.) I'm ready to go blank! No more lines. Except Fender isn't making this in a true fretless version. Or are they? Passive, sunburst, tort guard. Yeah that's it. Where can I get one?

I have a Pedulla Rapture and a Carvin B4 kit that I installed a "slap frets" on. Even though the carvin board is ebony, I was still hammering it. The Pedulla has a softer board, looks like rosewood, but it has the coating on it. This was starting to get a little chewed also. I used some old...

Pictures, you want Pictures??? And here's a good source for the real Link Removed

When I got my new '78 mapleglo (in '78) I immediately took mine off and reinstalled over the "cheese grater" bridge. Any other mods you guys do your Rics?
