    It is indeed a P neck ...(without tuners!)

    I actually like slimmer necks, that's why I consider getting a p-body seperately.

    I checked the serial number on ebay and I guess it is 2000. The new affinity series has alder body but I don't about the older ones. Anybody knows?

    So nobody knows what were they using as body wood back in 2000?

    I assume it is a precision neck?

    MM style pickup with 3 way switch

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted

    Thanks a lot Mark. That's one of the things I was looking for and its bookmarked already :)
    In this sense, coils (in one humbacker pickup) are wired each other in both series and parallel style, and hence the switch allows you to choose between (series/parallel). Did I understand correctly?

    I know that the diagram from Warwick website is for two pickups (for double buck basses) but still confused. I assume that each humbucker pickup has its own 3 way switch. But when you look at carefully it shows that the neck switch has something to do with bridge pickup.

    p.s. I put a little red arrow so it is easily spotable.

    MM style pickup with 3 way switch

    in Repairs and Technical

    Posted · Edited by guven_caglar

    Hi Everybody,

    I am trying to find out how MM style and 3 way switches works exactly. I have very limited knowledge as I only know that it allows you to switch from single coil to humbucker (series/parallel). I check the wiring diagram on the warwick website but I am even more confuse know :unsure:

    here is the diagram I found: [attachment=95799:26066591d01.pdf]

    How comes here the switch for neck pickup has to do something with the bridge pickup? It says that the bridge pickup is at serial mode (C+D) when the neck pickup switch is at the lower position :huh:
    Is the wiring diagram just wrong or I am not clever enough to understand? :)

    Can you also please explain what are the differences between series and parallel modes? How does it work theoratically?

    Thanks to you all in advance.

    Fender Geddy Lee on Gumtree

    in eBay - Weird and Wonderful

    Posted

    This seems a very good price (with hardcase and extra pickguard(s)) if any of the BCers in the market for one of these.
    I don't have any good knowledge about Geddy Lee basses but the knobs seem to be changed, however the seller didn't mention it. Is it suspicious?

    How to keep/store a bass which won't be used for long

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi BCers,

    As many people have more than one basses or they go abroad for work etc for a long time, I thought it would be helpful for everybody to discuss about this.
    BCers who have knowledge about this issue should explain us the right way of keeping the basses we don't use.

    neck and body separated?
    strings on/off?
    truss-rod loosen?
    etc.

    Give us some info please.

    Ibanez SR range.

    [quote name='Kes' post='1330544' date='Aug 7 2011, 12:12 AM']Hey all,

    I've been playing bass for around 5 years now (a couple of cover and originals bands) and my current bass (Ibanez GSR200) is about 4-5 years old...



    i've been playing around with lots of different basses recently trying to find a nice upgrade...


    The things i'm looking towards atm is a 5string (due to playing bits of light metal and rocky stuff and wanting to play around with a 5 string for a change)

    and looking at the SR range - i just have 2 questions about it....



    1. the body type seems to be the only difference in the range... ash/mahogany etc. is there much difference aside from that? (any preferences)

    2. while I can afford the ~£500 price tag i'm also looking around for 2nd hand ones. which as they're older wouldn't have the new mid range frequency select switch. Would i be missing much? is it worth buying new at all if i shop around (mostly on here) for a well looked after one.


    Thanks for any replies constructive or trolling...

    For that price range you can find used SR's high models. If you want a new bass I would suggest you to look at ATKs as you cannot go for brand new high end SRs. They are very versatile and suits most of the styles. I own an ATK and used to have SR (not high end though). I would say the neck of SRs are great (probably the best and easiest to play for my little hands). However, having comparing the versatility, the ATK is way better than the SR (again, for me). It would be great to have SR's neck on ATK :)

    I also suggest you to check second hand warwicks on the form. You can find a good one in your price range.

    Good Luck,
    G
