Thanks Jeff. I thought I'd go for something with some beef to it. I have an SX Precision that has a USA Fender pickup in it and I really like how it sounds, so this will be an excellent choice for my Jazz. Should be a good studio bass once I've got it setup. Already has a Badass II bridge on it!

The Quarter Pounders RULE for that kind of stuff. Super punchy and aggressive. It's cheesy but they're in the Mark Hoppus sig for a reason.

I'll let you know when they arrive man. Only ordered them the other day. Bass body is also away getting routed out. Should hopefully have an answer by the end of next week. I'd go with what Jeff is saying about the Quarter Pound pickup, not sure about the Hot Stack, I needed something with enough power to match the QP and it had to be(for me anyway) stacked to avoid hum.

Got this cheap from ebay. Didn't know what it is.
After some research I found out it is a Sennheiser MD4 or DM4 from the 50's. Pretty cool thing.

Picked both of these up lately. The tenor sax about 2 months ago and the Yamaha desk a few days ago! Got both for pretty cheap. The sax was second hand and cost me 100 and came with a nice old case stand, extra mouthpieces and few other bits.
The desk seems in pretty good working order. 1 mic pre is bust but everything else works well. Best I can tell it's a Yamaha rm804 from the 70's. I've to get more cables for it as most of the outputs on it are phono. I plan on using it for mic pres. It has direct outs, which is lucky cause it's a very quirky mixer. Almost nothing on it is standard by today's terms.
Added bonus that it looks awesome, already had a few people in to record since I got it and ALL of them commented on it! Cost me 120

Let us know how it sounds - I think I've seen one of those all over fast-food type place in the US that call out numbers or speak orders into a mic for the cooking staff to hear.

Peavy VMP-2 dual tube mic preamp. KILLS on vocals and bass. Awesome if you want to make something sound really big. Dig it a lot more than the UA 2-610 I had a while back.

Ended up buying two:
I just need to figure out how to wire an Amphenol To XLR cable to test the 545d and how to remove that disgusting cigarette smell from them.
The 565d is working and sounding great. Pretty fascinating piece of history.
EDIT:
quick clip of the 565d (the one at the bottom) versus SM57.
Not as meaty as the 57 obviously but still largely usable, especially for a 40 year old mic.

EDIT2:
The 545d sounds like a complete different mic (shit).

Got a free sm58 today from a friend I haven't seen in a year. He lives in South Korea and was walking down the road when he found it on the ground. Brought it back to Ireland and gave it to me.
Tested it and it works. It's actually in great condition too!

NICE. one day I found out my dad had an old sm58 lying around...
my reaction - "uhhh this is mine now"
a few weeks later, he tells me he has ANOTHER one. he thought it was broken and therefore was a lost cause haha, but it needed a minor repair which didnt take me very long. win!
