Ice Cream - Down

OP hasn't been back since day 1, so everyone is just screaming into the void.

Was going to say the same, It’s obvious where the costs add up. I find it strange that stores tend to stock gear that’s more marketed at beginners. I’d classify myself as a beginner on guitar and hate the idea of having to try gear out in a store, showing everyone how inept I am. However I guess for more advanced players, you sort of know what you want and won’t have an issue buying unseen online as a result, resulting in no footfall for physical shops.

I went to Canterbury a few years back and had a look in the Hobgoblin shop. If I were to go there again I'd give the shop a miss.

Hiya I have sent you another email and DM but still no response. Could you get back to me when you are able to please. Thank you! 😊

In my experience, once you reduce the volume on the bridge pickup, even by a little bit, it then has no further impact on the overall tone. What you're then hearing is just the neck pickup soloed, which is naturally a bassier sound. The front pickup is usually a lot louder than the rear pickup, as well. This may be due to it's placement on the body.

Not to hand but I recently got a mk2 and the DI out is definitely affected by the master volume

I've known Eli for a good while now and we finally popped his BC feedback cherry here, he's a lovely genuine dude, pays exactly when he says he's going to, treat and trade with confidence folks, he's one of the good ones.

I'm looking for the same thing in that London.

I bought a second hand Squier Jazz bass with passive electronics and I have settled on setting the controls with the neck pickup at max, the bridge pickup down a quarter turn, and the tone down a quarter turn (or a bit more if I want a really mellow tone). What was interesting about this was that backing off the bridge pickup even a tiny bit really boosted the low end. I have been reading a bit about pickup impedance loading so I think I have an idea of what is going on, but this important bit is that I really like the overall tone with this setting. My other bass is a musicman 5 string with a nordstrand MM5.4 quad coil and a John East MMSR pre. It got me wondering what would happen if I added a small resistor to the bridge side of the musicman pickup, would a similar low end boost be achieved?

That GOS track is beautifully put together. I love solo acoustic guitar (as opposed to acoustic guitar solos) but I won't hijack the thread.

Bought a Barefaced One 10 from Andy. He's ace.

Love the look of it, but oof that's a wide pickup spacing! It'd be interesting to hear what kind of tones it can produce. The only bass I have with anything like that sort of spacing is my Hofner, and they're famously rather specific tonewise.
