    Ahh ok Well, you could if you wanted, but it would be a bit of a compromise with the wiring (although a 4 pole switch would do it). Do they? Obviously the total inductance of two coils in series where they are independant is the sum of both inductances, but the inductance of two coils in series when they are magnetically coupled can be less (or more, depends on the coupling). Clearly it is more from both pickups, but whether it makes that much difference I don't know. I have a bass which has Parallel / series wiring (actually two parallel / series / single coil humbuckers connected with a parallel series switch). It is hard to tell which is bassier as the pickups are just way too loud in almost every circumstance!

    I know, again I was refering to series / parallel between the two pickups.

    Impressive binoculars!

    Funny, had exactly the same thought tonight, but then though, nah, I can get a ric another time!

    Not too bad. Certainly easier to work on than the 5005 was. Same with the 5005, except there are more pots.
  6. Woodinblack
    I meant with each other. You do whenever they are balanced dont you?
  7. Woodinblack
    Why don't you then? You could use the switch for series parallel
  8. Woodinblack
    The 5005? Yeh they are.. oh, actually very good Well, unless you have back issues, they are not exactly light weight!

    I picked up some of the dongle type ones (dongle on both sides) from aliexpress the other day, as I can't find the ones I used at home or for 'other band practice' (when I don't take the pedalboard). They were £30 so i thought I would give it a try to see if they are any good.

    Quite keen on giving the short scale version a try, even if it has the barts on it.

    I end up in that position quite a lot, then I the decision is too much and I get nothing. The only way to solve it is to go into a shop and try them - if one speaks to you, then go for that.

    Probably a bit below the averge price, not expensive, and in good condition not too bad. Goes in phases, at the moment they seem quite expensive, but gibson often have blowouts, and the end of season you can normally pick them up new for not far off that. In good condition then if you want one it is fine.

    I probably could if I took it apart, which I have never done. But I would be more likely to change the ibanez as I assume they are just pots on cables like all the other ibanezes. I actually can never remember which way round it is, but it is active all the time, so it isn't something i have to worry about. The Shuker is also switchless (apart from the pull bright thing).

    I meant a 5 string with 3 courses. I am not sure I would have the finger strength to hold down 5 strings at a time!

    You know the most irritating thing with the east and the EHB. On my two primary basses, the EHB and the shuker, they both have 4 knobs, vol, balance, bass/treble freq/boost. On the east the two last knobs are the opposite way round from the EHB!
  16. Woodinblack
    Exactly that. An 8 string is like the string with a harmonic, a 12 string is like a 12 string guitar, there is a shimmer and body caused by it never being quite the same note. It is actually quite different.
  17. Woodinblack
    Agreed but also because every time you want to do a prog band or something, someone wants to do that song, of which I am not a fan!
  18. Woodinblack
    As I said I am sure that replacing my volume controls on my TMB35 over the stock ibanez ones sounded better, even though I am well aware it should make no difference (they were the same value, albeit log rather than lin).
  19. Woodinblack
    That wasn't the version of 'do they owe us a living' that I was expecting!
  20. Woodinblack
    Purely down to price, and if you get on with the tone. I am always tempted by them when they come up cheap
  21. Woodinblack
    Good, glad we got there in the end! Probably true if I had done that, yes. I replied to Dads comment that those two women were good to listened to, I said I didn't like them or opera. I didn't realise that a throw away comment about me not liking opera would be taken so OTT and personally by you and I am sorry as I appear to have offended you personally I know what classically trained singers do thanks, and there was no respect intended or implied in that. Wow. I guess lockdown really has been getting to people
  22. Woodinblack
    Huh? As I said, in my opinion I don't like operatic singing, so therefore in my opinion operatic singing is over singing. I would think that must be pretty obvious no?
  23. Woodinblack
    Of course it is from my opinion, when as stated, exactly no singing is the right amount!
  24. Woodinblack
    Indeed they would, as they were writing an opera. But take away the singing and you have some good music!.
  25. Woodinblack
    Well, this is like he said, it is for someone who is playing fingerstyle, which means the strings are being played up, so the high strings are plucked before the low. The normal way round would be with a plectrum, which means you would hit the treble strings first on a downstroke. The best is whatever you want to do, although I suspect a plectrum is more common, with a lot of strings to cover. One day I will get my 15 string
