Thanks Luke, your experience sounds similar to mine with the Barts+ Bart pre - mid control just seems to add huge gain ,(not so much when I switch it to 800Hz TBF) I do get some decent tones out of it but am tempted to try the East, especially as she of the pots are on the way out (it's 20yrs old). It'll mean drilling out the holes to 10mm though (and it's a nice bass, Zon Sonus), so just building up the courage!

Didn't they try mixed-magnet pickups a few years back? And people said that they sounded much better if you took them out and rotated them 180 degrees 😆 These sound like the same spec as you get in the American Professional II range and the standard pickups offered in the Mod Shop, especially with the slight overwind. They do sound very good. The design has been around since the American Professional debuted in 2016. I'm surprised about the mention of "increased output". The overwind usually gives a slightly lower overall output, but increased mids. And yes, some people have turned them through 180 degrees, but that's just the 'no treble' crew. They could've done them in a decent colour, though. That shade is utterly heinous.

What??? I thought Sam hadn't posted for a while, and didn't reply to a mention in June, but I hadn't realised she'd passed away. When and where?

See this thread from a while back: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/212424-battery-powered-bass-amps/ A clean bass amp can also work well for a fiddle, which seems all wrong. I've heard @Mottlefeeder's self built combos and they are great, but maybe more complex than you're looking for.

These look really great, thanks for the tip.

I have a fx888d (70W) - with a big enough tip it certainly can solder to pot cases without any trouble. As can my old 50W Weller TCP - again with a big tip.

Buy another SB500S as a parts bass , y'kmow, just in case. The car restorer/modders do it all the time... 😁

I have a Hakko; nice for precision PCB work, but it hasn't got the power to melt a blob of solder on a pot base.
