    Indeed, how could one fail to be inspired by the Modulo 🙂 They have a wonderful air of style and class. That went more than skin deep, the construction method and materials place them far beyond my humble skills. I took the easy road, 4 in parallel. 2 x 250K pots and 104 cap. I did however...

    Paulownia body from Gear4Music. Maple neck, also from Gear4Music. PG cut from blank sheet. 4 Artec pickups. Fender bridge from spares drawer. Idle hands do the Devil's work :D

    Nor do I. The burst white pg PB-50 took centre stage over the Paisley Fender below it. It balances better, has a more comfortable neck, took a great low set up, I've never had need to adjust the neck in 11 years and to top all of that the damn thing actually sounds better; by better I mean...

    I hope this doesn't become a 'pissing contest'. This is just the Peaveys and 100% don't have Nescafe pickups, nor do my Fenders, Tunes from Japan, Vigiers or any of the remaining basses :-) If you spend €4, you get a bag of PCB terminal mount blocks. Glue to the back of your pots, bend up the...

    Is it ? Walk along the instant coffee aisle in any supermarket, scan the shelves in a corner shop; you'll find Nescafe. A catering pack tin is often a staple in work canteens, snack vans or greasy spoon cafes. In a word Nescafe is ubiquitous, even found in the homes of non-coffee drinkers as a...

    If I may make a suggestion, as someone who has spent £1k+ on aftermarket pickups. Save your money. Develop your technique and vary your playing position, give your bass a good set up, strings to your taste, adjust amp settings and/or invest in a simple graphic or parametric EQ pedal. Every...

    My fretless extended board Maniac was a cool £1000 in 1988, 3,300 DM

    There are many available. The Haeussel and Nordtrand already mentioned. Seymour Duncan does a stacked version, that is a custom shop pickup and will need ordered through a dealer as Seymour Duncan do not sell direct to we Europeans. Mr Duncan can f**k right off 😃 Fralin sells a split...

    Hartwood Bässe

    I never followed up with the friend in England's Satellite. Well my advice to forget about altering the bass, take a long walk in the fresh air then just play the bloody thing was heeded; for around a day🫤 Then he watched a video by some spectacle wearing irritating English YT bastard and...

    Peavey Midibase

    I have no idea but suspect it performs only very simple tasks. I was not too impressed by the Peavey MIDIbase Spectrum sounds so hooked my splitter up to a Roland Sound Canvas. They communicated with each other. Trouble I faced was in being tech illiterate. My first encounter with the...

    Peavey Midibase

    It was a completely different system. The AT-200 was an 'Auto Tune' model, software corrected tuning. That cable was not designed to work with the MidiBase. Have you strung your bass with nickel strings ? I don't recall Peavey giving a reason why they specified nickel strings only that it...

    @Ratterbass It was just a bit of fun. Folk were asked to give 1st, 2nd, 3rd place to which ones they thought had the 'best' P-bass tone. Neither the Warwick or Dingwall received any top 3 votes. There was a second question, "Maple or Rosewood ?" Most were 40/60 or 50/50 splits. Researhers...

    At least he is being honest, choosing bass A from bass B in a blind test is just a combination of guesswork and luck. Several year back some lads at a London bass get together had a P-bass shootout for fun. 10 P-basses along with a Dingwall and Warwick as wildcards. It was a double blind test...

    Och Hell, wrong end of the stick again. This man in the kilt speaks no German so relies on software translations. Trouble is the software writes in English and I think and speak in guid braw Scots. My apologies, seems I'm stuck in that other Bill Murray film :-(

    Not my experience. April 2014. KB stumbles across the big T webstore and buys his first Harley Benton. PB-50 arrives 4 days later and I tune it to pitch. Decide I want flats so re-string with TIs. Shortly afterwards I retired my Paisley Fender as the PB-50 sounded equally as good and was...

    It is obvious, the PB-50 is the textbook definition of 'flawless' 🙂

    Drill then screw the tail of the existing bridge to the body. @Schrotty My apologises for repeating your suggestion.

    WAL Bässe - warum so besonders (teuer) ?

    Oh there definitely is. A good friend had this made last year, same builder did my walnut 51 P-bass. Herrick multi coil, Lusithand preamp. Sadly I don't recall the drop top material. Final cost was £1400.

    I see nothing wrong with owning 168 basses, my own count is higher 😃
