series/split/parallel but with a DPDT on/on switch and a pot...?
itu replied to Danage's topic in Repairs and Technical
Corrected. No, I love similar projects, too. Something you could put some effort to, is the blending of the pickups. Most straightforward option is to use the Noll Mixpot. With it mixing does not load pickups, and for me the result sounds far better than with any hi-Z blend. -
Couldn't agree more. But if you have a man for the job it can be fun. My first Spector was done in '16 , a LX5 trans black originally, the controls moved to the cavity cover and the whole thing was refinished to a violet kinda color, highgloss on the body, oil finish on the neck. Payed manymany gigs and even today on of the first bass I grab for practife or writing. The second was a pre-LX Euro5 natural, didn't do anything to the controls (East deluxe) but swapped the PUs to a 40P and J plus shaved the neck which was beefier originally than the LX The 3rd one was a blue SSD NS-4CR in boring blue that became classic white. I sold this long ago as 4 stringers weren't much use for me but with the full maple wings and super quiet Noll electronics it sounded massive. I don't think I have a pic at hand but you get the idea, a white NS Spector with dot inlays. The thing about refinish and mods is that you should do it only if the basses are keepers as they affect resale value (eventhough I received several offers for the pink and the purple) The pink and the purple have hundreds of gigs in them and keep counting and I love what was done to them even after 8-9 years. But these kinda things are not for everyone and to this day these are the only instruments of mine that were modified (apart from a pu or preamp swap)

More mystery; I know they're D'Addario, but that's it. Can't remember how I came by them, but I'm not a fan of roundwounds, unless they're Thomastiks, so here they are for sale. Not heavily used. They've been on a 2 a side bass, but judging from the winds on the G, I think they were cut for 4 inline. Price includes postage. Cheers.

Danage replied to Danage's topic in Repairs and Technical
@itu similarly, I've been doing them since the 90s. Personally I've found series/parallel to be my favourite. I'm aware of what the outcomes of my choices would be. The question I was posing was whether I had my technical implementation correct or not. -

Plenty of good Jazz pickups, but you want better than good, right? Dimarzio Relentless...arched tops to better fit neck radius and strings, adjustable pole pieces.

I like that. I like that a lot.
-
Strings... does the part between finger and bridge rattle, or between finger and nut? Sometimes sympathetic resonance may create funny sounds from the fretboard.

Reduced to £145.00. Neunaber Immerse mark 2, in pristine condition and perfect working order, boxed and with rubber feet and plectrum. Collection welcome or can post insured (UK) for £7.00 With richer reverbs and a Mix knob that goes 100% wet, the Immerse Mk II is our best-sounding reverberator to date. Delivering the same no-nonsense flexibility as its predecessor, it s more user-friendly than ever before. Experience studio-quality tone in a pedal that can be used with instruments of all stripes. The Immerse Mk II is packed with eight versatile reverb effects, including the new W3T and Sustain effect. Less Feature1 Stereo Reverb Processor Effect Type Reverb Technology Digital Mono / Stereo Stereo In, Stereo Out Controls Mix, Depth, Time/Tone, Pre-Dly/Mod/Blend Modes 8 Reverb Types Switches Kill Dry, Trails, Program Bypass Mode True bypass or buffered bypass Power supply 9 VDC, Center negative Power Consumption 80 mA The Neunaber Immerse MkII is certainly not a one-trick pony when it comes to options. Boasting 8 different reverb types, including a blissful Shimmer verb and a Sustain mode, the Immerse MkII also sports more standard Spring and Plate reverb sounds to satisfy the traditionalists. However, Neunaber's flagship W3T reverb mode has been refined too, delivering a smoother and more three-dimensional sound. Now with adjustable pre-delay, it enhances what you play without covering it. A new feature on the Immerse MkII, the pedal's Mix control now allows you to go to 100% wet. This means that you can enjoy a huge, engulfing ambient reverb sound that'll fill a venue or a track with unbridled echo! Modern Features Like their entire range, Neunaber's Immerse MkII is aimed particularly at contemporary and experimental guitar players. This means that apart from its class-leading sounds, the unit can also be seamlessly integrated into your rig. Boasting an analogue dry-through signal path for low noise and zero latency, the Immerse MkII also sports a high-quality buffer to ensure that your signal remains strong and clear. Stereo outputs also let you take full advantage of the incredible reverbs offered by the unit, so that you can achieve an ultra-wide wall of sound when using two amplifiers. Modes: W3T (Wet version 3) — exclusive to the Mk II, our new flagship reverb is smoother and more three-dimensional sounding than ever before. Now with adjustable pre-delay, it enhances what you play without covering it. Plate – Bright and diffuse like a studio plate reverb. Hall – The lush, open sound of a concert hall, now with adjustable modulation depth for achieving deep modulated tones. Spring – The distinctive twerp of a tube-driven spring reverb. Now with adjustable modulation speed, it can achieve a vibrato-spring sound. Sustain – A new algorithm built on the W3T reverb. This magical, versatile effect can be configured as a sustainer or infinite reverb. Echo – Combining the W3T reverb with stereo echo. Detune – Adds a detuned double of the dry signal with reverb, now with true blend control between detune and detuned reverb. Shimmer – Reminiscent of a synth pad that follows what your instrument plays, this effect combines the best qualities of our previous shimmers

£80.00 WMD Parametric EQ in it's original box with user information sheet. This unit is in excellent unmarked condition and perfect working order. Great quality EQ in a compact pedal, tryout/collection welcome or insured UK postage for £8.00 There are 3 bands of EQ with frequency ranges from about 40Hz to 15kHz. Each band is an independent bandpass filter with adjustable center frequency, quality factor, and gain. Use them to sculpt and shape your tone however you like. Stomp Switch - This footswitch activates the EQ. The center LED will be lit when the pedal is engaged. Freq - This selects the center frequency of the filter. The three frequency ranges are: 31Hz to 1.6kHz, 100Hz to 4.8kHz, 300Hz to 16kHz. Q - The Quality Factor (Q) gives you control over the sharpness of the filter. Turn it up and the filter section becomes resonant and more abrasive. Low Q settings sound like a traditional EQ, higher Q adds resonant nodes. The Q ranges from about .1 to around 30. Level - This controls how much cut or boost you have from the band. Center it (0) and the band is out of the circuit. Turn clockwise and you'll get more of that frequency, turn counter-clockwise and you'll hear less. If all 3 controls are at 0, you should be able to click the pedal on and off and not hear any difference. Overall Level - This gives a overall cut or boost at the output of the Parametric EQ. Like a volume control, but with some gain available.

A lot of the time the most cost-effective thing bands could do to improve their FoH sound would be to employ someone as a sound engineer for all their gigs rather than spending more money on gear. I've been in two bands in the past that had their own dedicated FoH engineer and the difference it made to our live sound was massive. The engineer for one band even used to attend rehearsals so that he was completely knowledgable about the new songs we had written and were rehearsing for inclusion into the set.

Dear @Danage, Please read and reread this a couple of times. As long as you have a system without active components, @Acebassmusic pretty much described all you will get. I have done these ser/par/single mods since 80's, and my findings could be abriged to this: Ser / single is the most useful because of the change in level and sound.
