Note that a) I have left the original wiring as dotted outlines b ) I did this one on an iPad in an app I have had 3 years and hadn't used before c) I added colour d) its a bit better than the last one! e) I wouldn't wire a bass like this, makes it too unpredictable [url="http://s405.photobucket.com/user/alienrat/media/Jazz3_zps04dabec9.png.html"][/url] [/quote] cheers man yeh might just stick to the first diagram, nice idea but as you say not really practical andy

Cool its the jazz in my sig Ah cool so doing that would put everthing to 10, i have one more could i have the tone active? Dnt mind putting another switch in for that. So ill have all the pickups on full and the tone or both pickups on full with tone control that i can use, or have control of the pickup but have a dimed tone control?

does anyone have any idea where i could find drawings for this?

im with sibob on this one, stacking different pedals gets a very cool effect, some work really well together some not so but thats the joy of experimenting which is why i love pedals! currently in love with my lateral sounds "root" but ill also turn on my mesa flux drive to give it a bit more gain or darker sound to work with. ive also had a ls-2 before with pedals in each loop with made mixing the 2 sounds alot more manageable was kinda like using two amps? andy

worked well when ive borrowed our guitarists its basically a polytune andy

[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1393405468' post='2379742'] Sounds good as long as you like distortion. Interested to find out if it does loud and clean too. [/quote] The distortion is completely separate from the eq side of the amp so i will be 1000w clean amp if needed just dnt turn on the gain side

Helms alee http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voNghRkt5k8 tool, the new periphery album and my bands recently recorded ep! andy

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1393264481' post='2377981'] Well Edens certainly have some lows, I had a Nemesis 410 and it was a great cab. I think the low frequencies are much lower than that of Ashdowns. It could be that the Ashdown had issues, as having also had an OTB, I could never get a tinny sound from it - not that I wanted to mind - just a thick warm slightly gainy (and very loud) sound. [/quote] lozz is right, just had a look the eden 410 goes down to 48hz and depending what ashdown it was the abm goes to 70hz and the mag interestingly goes to 60hz. andy

i would say it could be the cab, but as has been sad 12 o clock isnt flat, ive found sticking a eq pedal infront or in the effects loop gives these amps alot more eq options i have a rack eq works really well. andy

used this in the studio today! holy crap! such a brutal distortion getting the mastered tracks tomoz afternoon so will be able hopefully to post a link up for people to hear. andy

we've got a cupboard in our rehearsal space so i store my stuff in there bar my basses as it gets cold so dnt want the neck moving. i am happy to leave it there, have left my cab in the studio space aswell but we know the engineer and he would never use it. andy

it'll probs be an ashdown overdrive pedal combined with a valve head, although i think he also uses the rack sansamp. andy

ive recorded a few sections as demos using garageband, got a very nice bass sound, i think i used the orange amp sim with a comp sounded very nice andy

New pedalboard at long last, my old boss thing lost its lid about 2 years ago so its nice to be able to close this one, only missing the cog effects custom

[quote name='tonyquipment' timestamp='1391604970' post='2359046'] Agree Unless you like the sound of farts [/quote] ill admit, the octave side of the pedal isnt that useable but with my rack eq cutting the extreme lows it does give a rumble, but just recorded yesterday and it sounded brutal when the right hand dial is dimed (so pretty much all fuzz with a hint of the octave) had it after my mesa flux drive so was getting fed a dirty overdrive tone, used it to beef up certain parts. very impressed seeing as i tune to d standard and bought it on a whim. andy

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1392934610' post='2374555'] it won't be the same as turning everything up to 10 as it will effect the pickup loading too (i.e. the pots still have an effect fully open) I can't think of the name at the moment but you'll want a switch that switches it across at both the input and output(jack) points. the next question you'll ask is about the second switch for having the pups in series or parallel.... [/quote] oh no nothing fancy like that lol, im actually seeing a tech tomoz so i think i might ask him if he has any ideas

have a squier vm 5 string bass, love it but looking to change a bit of the electrics to make my life a tad easier. does anyone know how i could wire this in, basically looking to add a small switch that will disable the volume pots and just put the pickups straight to the output so basically the same as turning everything up to 10. andy

my squier vm string is awesome however have upgraded the input to a better quality one and when he was doing it noticed the pots although they work fine are pretty cheap Chinese pots, so is there any bonuses to changing the pots? could i maybe put in a larger or smaller value tone pot for a bigger sweep? also have thought that at the same time i may put in a switch to put everything on 10 straight to the output as flicking a switch is easier than changing turning three knobs on my jazz. andy

for me its strange seeing how other people play the songs, i wrote a few songs in a punk band and the new bassist plays them totally different so the songs sounded a bit weird at first andy

oh yes! recorded lovely kickdrum mic in no di sounded beasty, getting mixed at the minute but sounded really nice. andy

beasty mate!

[quote name='Ant_On_Bass' timestamp='1392570112' post='2370149'] i've actually got a set of Ernie ball custom gauge 5 string 135, 105, 85, 70, 50 from when i owned my 5 string corvette, do u reckon i could get away with using them? 135 will feel mahooosive and i'm not 100% sure it will fit in the bass nut! i don't really want to file it down, i may have to invest in another bass if it doesnt fit :-P [/quote] it seems big but you do get used to it very quick, is the nut on your bass removeable? you could always get on made up for the drop b tuning andy

ive done drop c with 105, i now use the top 4 strings from a 5 string set as on my 4 string bass i tune it to a standard and its fine, 130 on the a string maybe look at something like that? its a bit of a set up from 105. andy

ive had the markbass lm2 and swr headlite, both awesome can grab the lm2's for silly money these days andy
