The Last Bass Outpost

That's exactly right Uwe. Of the composites available the Moses necks are noted to be warmer. I've read posts from folks that dropped a Status neck into a Stingray
and that can easily be a clackfest if you let it (or want that). I knew a guy that had one of the early MM's with a graphite neck (I think it was supplied by Modulus at the time?) and he loved that nearly bottomless (literally) upper mids clicky tone. Sure it cut, but that isn't for me.

This combination is well suited. Dial back the snap a touch and it's chock full of focused fundamental with a G string that doesn't sound zingy.

Thanks. Honestly Dave, I'm still not sure whether it's one or two pieces. If it's two they matched the seam perfectly....

One day I'll check it with a magnifier.

This has been an ongoing resurrection, many weeks in the making, that is finally complete. Road tests have finally been performed.

I saved my squirrely necked '81 G&L L2K by installing a Moses Graphite composite replacement neck. There was a touch of trickiness in the installation.
These necks require inserts for machine screws to be installed in them for assembly. Because these are 3* bolt necks I specifically asked Moses about the bottom insert possibly hitting the truss rod since it's on center. They assured my it was a clear shot. Right....more like a direct hit.
Thanks to the skill of my tech of many years he was able to overcome this minor setback and make it work successfully.
*This is only an issue with the 3 bolt layout - newer G&L's with more bolts have no issues.

I also had a brand new G&L preamp harness installed to replace the original pre which was fried.

I have it strung with GHS Precision Flats (my current flat of choice) and it sounds wonderful. The notes are tight and focused, very rich in the lows and low mids, a bit of snap up top. There is a touch of compression but it is not sterile sounding at all. I find this to be a highly successful mod/upgrade over the original neck. I am very glad (and relieved) to have this work out!

(It's not a Gibson but I feel I should at least get partial credit for the beautiful hunk of mahogany that is the body of this beast.)

Once you're a radicalized psycho willing to blow yourself up there are no limits to vile.

A full movie house, a crowded bus/train station, a school in session, a church/synagogue during services...all fair fodder for the insanity that drives your belief system. The object is as big a target as possible.

He waited until the end of the show when people were all bunched up buying concert swag.
Setting it off during the concert wouldn't have maximized the casualties.

The terrorist aspect that really hits home is there is no defense against this kind of thing.
Catching a lone wolf maniac is like catching a very particular snowflake in a snowstorm.

....it was kind of hard arguing evolution with them.

Lewis Black does an excellent bit on this. He said he keeps a small fossil in his pocket for just such an occasion so he can whip it at them, forcing them to duck.

He admits it's tough to argue with people that think The Flintstones is a documentary.

Looks pretty new, and in great shape.

Anti P/J group? Sounds like something you'd find at TalkBass. 

Now THAT's funny...

I'm not chomping at the bit for a bolt on bass made in Indonesia at $999 either. The use of a hot jazz pickup at the bridge is an intriguing idea. The higher output should blend better with the split coil. I already have an spb-1 in my precision so I might try the sjb-2 hot jazz with it too. Think one master volume and a three position switch would be a good way to wire it?

With the several P/J's that I have I find V-V-T or at least a V-blend to be the best option. I prefer to set the P and then blend in the J until it gives me the desired effect, and full on isn't always it. And of course, vice-versa

Using a hot jazz will give you more output but the tonality also changes and you get those boosted mids with it, which may or may not get you what you want.

Manufacturers are getting much better at matching their P/J sets. I have an Aguilar set with a hum cancelling J and they really did a good job getting the outputs to balance, plus soloing the J is noise-free.
