[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1344516801' post='1765785'] Conclusive proof, here, that Precisions sound better Jazzes. [/quote] I refuse to believe that a Precision sounds more like a Jazz than a Jazz!

[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1344516399' post='1765773'] I't have to be seriously broken for that to be the case, and would need to be replaced. The only way I can think of hobbling a pot so it can't be turned fully up is by jamming the spindle so it can't be turned all the way, or snapping it so it's uncoupled from the wiper.They're very simple and easily understood, mechanically and electrically. [/quote] Probably yes, unless the track wasn't aligned properly to begin with. As unlikely as that is! I can fully appreciate that all pots should work the same due to their simple design, and should have zero effect on tone... However I still believe that it is possible to make them badly and therefore not have as clear a signal. Then again the OP's pots could just have been ultra filthy

How about if you turned the tone knob all the way up on both pots, but one of them was made cheaply/badly/inaccurately? Surely that could potentially prevent one of the pots from ever being able to be 'on full'? Just a thought.

Maybe! I swapped one of my Peavey's pickups out for Seymour Duncans last year. It sounds so much clearer, but the output is much lower than the stock humbuckers. Very strange! I wouldn't mind, but my compressor is set up for slightly higher output basses lol

[quote name='Commando Jack' timestamp='1344504193' post='1765451'] (b ) believe that its really bad, but so bad that they have to see what one is like! [/quote] He will definitely make one sale to a Basschatter for this very reason

Have you got the volume full on both pickups? Try turning one of them down a bit, you'll get more mids, and more percieved output.

Been playing with D'Addario Prosteels for a couple of days now... A bit of a rougher feel on the fingers compared to Elites, but nothing like Warwick Reds! Mega mega bright too, and I got a proper 'piano tone' on my .125 B string, even on a 34" bass. Mega impressed! The gig tomorrow will be the true test, and then I'll see how long they last me... Might end up being a convert!

Personally I think bass amps sound better at lower volumes in most rooms as you're less likely to be overworking the amp, and less likely to be getting reflections al over the place

[quote name='simwells' timestamp='1344434057' post='1764411'] They actually finally listened! If they make a smaller Hyperdrive I may have to pick one up. [/quote] Same here, I'm sure they'd sell a bucketload too!

Great pic, she's a natural!

Awesome, congrats guys

[quote name='ern500evo' timestamp='1344409005' post='1763908'] If you like zingy, you'll love Prosteel's! Been using them for a while now, had a set with a duff E string, quick email to D'Addario, couple of complimentary sets arrived less than 48 hours later, so great strings and great service. [/quote] That's awesome! Heard a few good things about their service, so I was more than happy to give them some business. Here's hoping I like the strings

I cant really vote on this just yet... At the moment the best sounding strings I've used are Elites, but they don't seem to last very long. I also love Newtones but they don't seem quite as zingy... Going to gig with some D'Addario Prosteels this weekend though so time will tell!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1344268524' post='1761989'] They are actually a thing, of course - to give him the benefit of the doubt. [/quote] Mind how you go, he'll be calling them 'tuning forks' next

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1344247214' post='1761561'] Internal Memo: From: Manager, UPS Depot, Dublin To: All UPS UK Hi guys. I can't decide which bass to buy. If you see anything interesting going through, divert it over here, only need it for an hour or two. Cheers [/quote] That explains everything! So which Basschatter is it?

Tuner paddles There's a new one

Tight as a nuns anus! Really nice lines too, to be honest I was expecting more shred and less music so this was a pleasant surprise

[quote name='jackers' timestamp='1344132399' post='1760312'] haha that's not what I've heard... [/quote] Oh bloody hell, i BEGGED her not to tell anyone

This is exactly why I use wireless dude! Well... not exactly... its mostly me that steps on my cables!

Only the special few know
