Apologies for the delay. I've restored my file-share account (they deleted my clips) but, at the mo, I can't remember where I put my digicamera that has the SD card containing my clips. As soon as I dig it out, I'll get those files back up and update the links.
Apols again for my idiocy. |

That would be great!
Would you mind sending me a PM to let me know when you have? Thanks! |

Severe apols for this delay; my camera went somewhere after summer hols (definitely did bring it back, though) and I just can't track it down. Apart from it having the clips, the camera is about my only easy way of digital recording. I'm having a mass tidy-up in the half-term hols later this month and I'll contact you when it reappears.
Apols again.
EDIT: BTW, have you seen my thread describing the installation?
http://guitarsite.com/hotlicks/viewtopic.php?t=3970
It has a (working) link to my tech's installation, including pics. It's not a straightforward drop-in, so have a look if you haven't already. |

| Didn't know you had a jazz bass. |

I had two, made by Fenix in Korea. The 1990 models are such accurate copies (later ones got the lawyer's treatment) that they're a no-brain buy. Or they were. My Olympic White I bought for £61 (auction ended on 2nd Jan - dur) but it went over £200 when I auctioned it. I bought the fretless for around £45, but it wasn't a visually appealing defret (works fine, though), no strings and cracked nut. Silly little stuff that loses £££s on an auction.
Although making it piezo cost £180 (including new flatwounds and pots/knobs but NOT including the cost of the piezo saddles, preamp, nor the Fender Vintage 60s bridge pup), it's a very interesting experiment. I just wouldn't do it on a Jazz, though. A Precision makes more sense, and a rear-routed bass (but with Fender-type saddles, of course) even more so.
I bought a piezo bridge for my guitarist, but he's never tried it. I might get it back and put it on my Mustang (and get around to fitting the Fishman piezo on my 5-string bass) but I need to stop slipping into overdraft every month first. |
