No matter how many times @joel406 makes this tedious argument, I'm sticking with an amp and cab because I'm not lugging round a sub or larger PA speakers to be able to put the bass through, and I'm not going to arse around setting up ambient mics and potentially micing up the drumkit. And we play in smallish pubs, and I've got earplugs.

My 5th LHZ Glowup The DarkGlass Tone Capsule is out. LHZ-03 #739 is in. It sounds like it should now. And it sounds subtly different to the others. In fact my four 4s all sound a bit different from each other, which must point towards wood differences. They've all got newish D'Addario EXL170s. This one, Peacock, has an ebony board. I also treated her to some Schaller strap pins. The new strap pins used on newer Euros are rubbish. Photos are: 1. Before opening. 2. The DG 3. The LHZ 4. A happy patient recovering well from the op.

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. I'm not big on mods but if you have a man for the job it can be fun and the three I made done turned out great 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 sort of color, highgloss on the body, oil finish on the neck. Played many gigs and even today on of the first bass I grab for practice 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.

series/split/parallel but with a DPDT on/on switch and a pot...?
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
