    [quote name='Buzz' post='25059' date='Jun 29 2007, 06:59 PM']Well, after having a look in the bowels of my Squire VMJ, it's got 500k pots, and noticable on/off-ness, so I'm planning over the summer to drop them down to 250k audio taper pots. Might coincide with a Wizard Pickup purchase as well though...and a baddass.[/quote] Buzz changing pot depends on which pickups are installed on your bass, if you have single coils (Jazz bass pickups) then you better use 250k pots, most of the times when the bass comes with 500k pots means that the tone of the pickups is really dark and by using those pots will give more highs to the sound. If you installed SD pups then it's a good idea to install 250k pots, this will give you that vintage jazz bass sound that everybody love. Try to use the same 250k linear pots for the tone control paired with a .40u ceramic capacitor and you'll be fine.

I built one of those as my first project for £10 and 3 hours of fun.

    [quote name='Toasted' post='21602' date='Jun 21 2007, 09:37 PM']McGiver, the light is no good here right now - I'll take some pics tomorrow for you. As far as I am aware no pickups are active apart from EMG's. It's the coupling of the pickup with an active preamp that makes a bass active.[/quote] Not only EMG joe; Bartolini, SD and Peavy all of them have an active line of pickups but yes the most popular of those brands are passive. No problem mate whenever you can.

    [quote name='Paul Cooke' post='18590' date='Jun 15 2007, 10:12 PM']the only thing wrong with the B2 and B2.1U is that they lack an aux input for running a CD/MP3 player into.[/quote] That is exactly my criticism to them. In other hand the Behringer Vamp has the line in option and works a treat.

    I use my Zoom B2 and it's fantastic
