Jazz Bass control circuits (passive) - what works for you?
Stub Mandrel replied to JapanAxe's topic in Bass Guitars
Blend means you can't get either of the classic 'hollow' both pups on full sound, or my usual neck full on, bridge ~20% sound. It's interesting, I often gig a p-bass and rarely back it's tone off, butwhen gigging a Jazz I often tweak the settings. Being able to set both pups full when stuck under an electrically noisy light fitting is gold too. -
Dear agedhorse, Dan, tauzero and nekomatic, Thanks for your responses. This is what happend so far: I rang the Eich-office. This is what they told me: A few years ago, Neutrik has changed the design of some of their connectors/plugs and therefor the problems that I'm having in my cabs, are somewhat well known to Eich (and they are really pissed about this!). Therefor Eich offered to send me complete new back plates of the cabs (for free!) so that these bad connections belong to the past (for me). I find that very generous of Eich. As soon as I have changed the plates, I will notify you all on the outcome. For now; thanks for your involvement!

Jazz Bass control circuits (passive) - what works for you?
tauzero replied to JapanAxe's topic in Bass Guitars
I've got two basses with V/V/tone bits, one Squier Modified Vintage Modified with an MM bridge pickup which I've modified to V/Blend with an MN500k pot, and an Ibanez SRF705 which hasn't yet been modified but will be, as I really dislike V/V and the fiddliness of adjusting two volume controls to change the overall volume. The piezo volume stays though. -
I’d quite like that if someone took the flattened battleship off the front do two pickups so close together give a markedly different sound?

Many thanks but I think I’ll let ozone do it I think 😁 I had considered doing a full time music production degree if I ever managed to put the tools down , unfortunately I think the student loan scheme is changing imminently , and I wouldn’t want to have to find £30K to do it !

All gone!

I've had ATK GAS for years - I still remember one turning up on Ebay for £80, back when having £80 spare was a distant dream for me. I posted it on here in the Ebay thread, some kind soul snapped it up then tried to flog it to me for £200. If you're still here & reading this - you know who you are. Luckily I've long-since forgotten...

If I could get it without his signature on the headstock that would definitely be in the running - it has everything: block inlays, bound fingerboard, lollipop tuners, string through bridge.....but it also has Adam Clayton's signature on it (and presumably a slice of commission directly to him in the price) - for that reason it rules itself out. Shame

Difference Between Aguilar Tone Hammer and MarkBass Little Mark?
chris_b replied to Linus27's topic in Amps and Cabs
I've used a Mark bass amp for a little while, but played through a TH500 for over 10 years. I also use an AG700 and TH700. IMO Aguilar amps and Barefaced cabs are made for each other. -

Nice mwah

I ran an Ampeg SVT3 PRO for many years. I'd suggest a Mark Bass or Aguilar TH500 as a replacement.

I favour a passive jazz. Battery anxiety is one of the drivers for change.

Used but in excellent condition, these have the shorter length stem. Two bass-side and three treble-side, but they can be reversed if needed. Perfect for Dingwall Combustion basses. Solid machined aircraft grade aluminium housing gives you high durability in an extremely light package Tiny footprint installs easily on small headstocks 20:1 gear ratio with a full size gear and worm for super quick and accurate tuning Stainless steel key prevents tarnishing and rust where you touch yor tuner the most 3/8" string post fits 9/16" [14mm] headstock holes-

Stripping and staining walnut body - advice please

That looks like nice stuff. I used mineral oil (stuff they use to help seal chopping boards, not the brake fluid!) and beeswax on a table with a rather uninspiring grain and colour and it does a great job of accentuating what is there without changing anything too much, so that may also be an option when the time comes, although it does need quite regular retouching. -
Yes, all good thanks, Gareth! 🙏😊 -
A bit of my personal history lost with the passing of the man. Rest easy Chris, you made a huge difference.

Expensive is so relative. The two basses I paid over my 'expensive' threshold, were both made possible because I completed large chunks of work. I've been through long periods where spending £50-100 could mean many months of saving. I am having to be careful now, as I need as many savings as possible to buy somewhere when dad's house is sold and split three ways. So those two big purchases (and my rig) were really special; both were cheaper alternatives to genuine vintage instruments I could never afford but give me a feeling of connection to music I love.
