How did you go about the connection? Via garage band? I struggled to connect with my iMac 🤷‍♂️

As I said, I'm not high-tech. I just selected the USB as the sound source for the video from the laptop's built-in camera. I then added the original track to the bass only video in Shotcut. 

I use one of these to connect my bass to my laptop when recording YouTube videos. Not the most high-tech solution, but neither am I 🤣, although I'm more than happy with the results.

These are the first that come to mind, but there are loads.

I’m then undecided whether to use a very sharp chisel or teardrop burr with a Dremel to extend the width by 5mm as I don’t have/feel confident to use a router. 

I'd never used a router before I decided to install bigger pickups. I purchased a Vonhaus palm router, made the template, did a couple of practice routes in some 4x2 and then attacked my Warwick. Take it slow and respect that blade spinning at 20,000 rpm

Useful reading

Thanks for that.

I made a template for some EMG TBCS pickups using 2 inch wide stripes of 19mm MDF. I used the correct size router bit to get the corner radius I needed. I got the MDF from eBay, it was a set of cut lengths from the craft section. I arranged the pieces around the pickup with a credit card along one long and one short side to give clearance in the routed cavity. I can't find any pics but this should explain how it is adjustable before glueing. Obviously the edges and corners need to be square.

£11.50 collected from DY13 area.

It's too thick for a large letter so postage would be small parcel size, £3.20 with PayPal F&F, or £4 with regular PayPal to cover the fees.

I emailed Clive a few years ago, he was very helpful, he even gave me the part number for the Series 6 EQ slider pots from memory. He also told me that he had binned all his TE drawings when he retired. 

I have a cardboard box from a bass case available, if anyone wants to collect it from a DY13 postcode.

Active EMG's wont work for me. Their built in plugs and preamps would mean dumping my onboard preamp

You can still use your onboard preamp, use the EMG volumes and connect the output into your preamp. I have active PJ EMGs connected to an Aguilar preamp in one of my Warwicks.

I like the EMG JVX pickups, they are active but voiced differently to the standard active EMGs.

I've been looking at envelope filters recently, have you considered the Q tron? It is available as a nano size, but the slightly bigger micro is cheaper.

I play a Warwick Corvette, I have tried more traditional shaped basses but just never get on with them 

I would try emailing Fender customer services for an official answer.

I recently purchased an Ashdown head from Germany. I contacted Ashdown and they said the head would be fine in the UK, but suggested a UK power lead rather than a plug adapter. 

Warwick basses in general and Corvettes in particular. The Corvette just fits me, I've tried more traditional body shapes but prefer the Corvette.

That would look great airbrushed to look like a Klingon / Orc weapon. 

I really like it.

Shoutout to Warwick for fastening their pickups with machine screws that go into threaded inserts! They're brilliant. I recon they should be easy to install on other basses too: 

Pickup screws

Threaded inserts

I routed one of my Corvette basses to fit EMG TB size pickups, and made an adaptor plate with threaded inserts to mount the new pickups on(sorry, no pics)

Excellent, hope you can make it to the South West Bash.

I'm just checking if I can make it. Although I don't think my back is up to carrying my TE 2x10 down the stairs again this year. 🤣

Thanks to @jebroad for organising the bash, and thanks to everyone for making me feel welcome. It was my first bash but it won't be my last.

I must be missing something - how is six knobs, two three-way switches and two pickups “simplicity” ?

 

a precision bass constitutes simplicity 

I think the bass in the photo is the Artist model. Looking at the site, the Purist looks to be more like a Precision.
