Ah okay, Makes sence, I didn't have this problem with my Warwick because of the active preamp , I had a lot more range to dial in tones and balance things out So there isnt a peice of gear that could help me sort this out then?? I'm not to clued up on compression but my guitarest mentioned it would help even out the volume is that more related to exsisting tone and evening out the inconsistencies of my playing??

So I just got a hold of my new Lakland Precision, Gigged it for the first time last night. I've been playing my Warwick Streamer for a good few years so it's a big change for me, bit I love this new bass. Anyway, My problem being we play mostly Reggae music, But also a little rock, Most of our tracks I'll keep the tone nob dialed completely down because I Like a very Bassy fat tone. For the rock I like to dial in some tops and add some punch to help it cut through the mix When I dial in the tone I notice a difference in volume, Which I assume is quite standard for P Basses. I didn't really have this trouble with he Warwick, probably because it has an active pre amp I had more scope to even things out I've heard about replacing electronics? (Grease bucket rings a bell??) to level out the volume Do I need a compression unit? I have free rack space at the moment or are pedals the way to go? I'm wondering which is the best way to fix this? Any help is much appreciated

Awesome, Thanks for the replies guys!

Just wondering which you guys would throw your cash at I've been back and forth considering Jazz and Precisions, I know for sure now that I want a P. Ive read great things about Laklands elsewhere, Just want to see what BassChat has to say Just had an offer for a Lakky at £570 is that a good price for one of these?

Cool thanks for the help guys, I'm not one for DIY so I'll get a email sent to Trace and start a search for the other options aswell Are these the kinda things I need?

Hey guys, just looking for a little help and advice. I'm getting rid of my SWR 350x, going back to my old trace head. The trace head measures 17inches, Just wondering if there is a standard procedure to rack it or any tips you could provide thanks in advance

Thanks for the quick reply, I've had a quick search for both, but none of them seen to have the strap button under the top horn
