Bassist on the Run

I’m gonna have to take to a bass wizard to fix up. There are more cables in there than a telephone exchange 😂 I’ll keep this post posted with an update. Appreciate any messages I’ve had. Thanks people👍

Found this little wire which isn’t connected to anything I wonder if this is my issue?

Does the push / pull switch disconnect the power to the preamp or just switch it in / out of circuit?

 

Asking as the most likely reason for battery drain is continuous power to the preamp. 

It seems to make a difference in sound when I pull up or push it down. I have to turn down the pre amp as it was ridiculously loud. But the battery died again today and I only replaced 3 weeks ago and haven’t used it since it was replaced

It does have a 'stereo' output jack that switches the preamp on / off ?

How would I know this mate I’ve never heard of this. I just assumed a jack was a jack. It has a push pull pot that turns on or off 

Anyone have an idea why my bass is eating battery’s like there going out of fashion. My jack cable is unplugged every time I finish playing and only use the bass lightly so not on a daily basis 

any help would be appreciated

the chance of two basses having the same fault is low. 

Have you tried a different cable? (this could be the simplest common denominator) 

Have you tested it all in a different room/building? 

and Doing what, to which pots cause the sound?
 

Seems to be an electrical problem. The bass sounds fine and if I move away from the area the high pitch get quiet and disappears if I move slightly it’s back. I turned all my electronics off one by one and nothing eliminated it. I’m thinking it could be something wrong with the plug in that area. 

No never used a wireless mate

What I’ll do is send a little vid once I’ve done my days slaving at work. I hear your point same issues leads are different and battery’s are all new. 

Evening all. 
so I’ve recently purchased a couple of basses a spector rebop 4 and a 5 also a Warwick fna jazzman. 
 

im getting a high pitched whistle when I use certain pots to change tone etc 

I’ve gone from amp to audio interface to see if it’s amp issue and it’s the same across the board. I’ve even turned down the pre amps to see if this helps. 
 

any ideas would be most appreciated 

Just picked up one of these and they are great. Glwts dude I’m sure someone will grab a huge sounding bass at a bargain price 👍

Adding £200 the price won’t help the fact it didn’t sell at £1400 I’m sure.

Spending some time at Powerhouse, eh? My local rehearsal rooms!

I believe that’s the place. 👍

I’m rehearsing in addlestone all of November so will definitely pop down to this, can’t wait! 

Looking to move this on. Definitely trade for a spector 5 string of similar standard.

this is a 2007 german made bass it’s great I have no issues with it other than I don’t use it enough and have recently been turned onto spector basses so I’m looking to sell or trade. Comes with a soft case and has been recently re strung. A few age related makes as you might expect but no horrible dinks or dents.

Please check the link below to hear it in action, I can’t take credit for the playing this is the incredible Andy Saxton putting it through its paces.

any questions please feel free to ask. 
cheers

...and cricket season will be starting soon so you can get full use of them.

I just need a 6 

I’ve collected these two recently. Not because I needed them but the price was so ridiculous I had to say yes. 
 

What would you sell the head for ?

cheers

What a tease!!! This bass looks amazing for a rock bass I’m very tempted.

The only time I recall him with an Aria was a pic on the Garage Days sleeve. He had BC Rich with F&J, then ESP, Wal, Bob Rock's NS2 in the studio, Alembic and Sadowsky.

 

In between Alembic and Sadowsky he had a signature Spector SSD based on their SD model which came and went in the blink of an eye. He may have played it, but not for very long.

He played it between 94-95 and then shelved it. I got to see him with it in 1995 at donnington and as a 10 year old I was blown away and have wanted one since. Unfortunately they are as rare as rocking horse stinky poo and he owns 99% of them. They were the spector j4 j5 and so on.

Many, many players think that a larger cone equates to a greater ability to produce lows. This is far from the truth as there are 15s that go higher that an average ten and tens, like those used in my Acme cabinets that will happily thrust a Low B all day long. Secondly matching cabinets always work well together whilst dissimilar may not.

 

Try stacking your boxes on their ends so that the drivers are vertical. You may just love the result. I certainly did!

 

I love your Warwick. My Streamer is still the best sounding bass I own. It's tuned B E A D as I usually now play my six string basses.
 

Thanks for the info man. I have a streamer too and love it.

What, if anything, did you think that the 15 was going to add to the 2x10? Curiosity feeds the question. 

When you say if anything do you think it would add nothing?

the price I paid for both was not far off the asking price for the 210 so if anything it was an investment, but playing with the 15 in certainty adds some clout. 

These have finally been claimed. Heading to a new home. Please remove if possible. ✌️
