    Thank you. I’ll have a look around. I thought active blend was the only way but have never tried one in an all passive set up.

    Recently I’ve been thinking how disappointed I am with fender volume, volume, tone controls and the way that the volume dies so much when both pickups are on full. I realise this is due to the additional resistance of the other pickup’s circuit acting to resist and therefore reduce the output but I wondered is there a way around it. I had wondered about passive blend control but apparently the same thing happens at the centre detention of the blend control I.e. volume roll off. I had wondered therefore whether to use an active blend control. I think EMG do one but I can’t find out whether that can be used with passive volume and tone pots. I also don’t really want to go full active preamp as I’ve suddenly realised that amps are better at eq than most preamps. So my question is what am I to do to have equal volume whether on bridge, mixed or neck pickup? The bass in question is an 80s MIJ Fender Jazz but it happens with all my Fenders. Just asking!

    It appears that these strings have been bought in bulk by people and are being passed off as real elixir strings on eBay AND some buyers are stating they’re fakes. I haven’t got any real elixirs yet but they must be fakes (£9 doesn’t get real ones and defo not from China) although bizarrely they were decent strings, very bright. Probably not elixirs though. As it happens I was going to buy some real ones but ironically I now can’t decide where to get them in case they’re Chinese fakes!! “Wish” I’d never looked into them now as I’ve put myself off getting any......

    Gee thanks.

    Apparently it started out life as a Westfield corvette bass.........

    The front looks ok. The back is another story.............

    A good point well made. It just amused me that the bass referenced as fitting in it, didn't.
  9. vinorange
    Is the one at the back small or is it far away? 😁

    As you can see, he says, it will fit a precision bass (well most of it, except the end bit) and any smaller guitar...... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332841527944

    Ash bought a badass bass bridge from me and it was a pleasure to do business with him. Thanks Ash.

    Badass II bridge in great condition with grooved saddles fitted but also with 4 spare saddles (E and A string saddles having had 2 grooves cut which spoils them aesthetically). Standard 5 screw fender mounting. I’m only putting it up at £75 as it has 2 sets of saddles with it and spare saddles cost about a tenner each. Uk postage included. European postage will cost a bit so please ask for a quote.

    Up for grabs is my excellent MIJ 2015 Fender Aerodyne Jazz bass. It has the stock black bound body with dark stained rosewood fretboard and smoked hardware for a perfect stealth look. In fact it’s that stealthy that I couldn’t find it this morning...... It’s recently been set up with new 45-105 rotosound roundwound nickels and plays perfectly. These are verstaile basses as they have p/j pickup configuration giving a good old thump from the precision pup but adding in the crispness of apthe jazz pup in the bridge position. These have no pickguard and a 20 fret jazz width neck with only side fret markers - adding to its stealthiness. Comes with a fender padded gig bag and fender strap. It’s got one very very tiny chip on the headstock and everything else is perfect, in fact it’s very shiny having had a polish yesterday. Will post anywhere. Uk insured postage about £35. Europe will need a quote dependant on where...... Here are the fender specs; Lightweight, high performance, special edition Jazz Bass Basswood body with cream bound carved top and Black urethane finish Maple neck with fast-playing "C" shape profile Stained rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets 4 saddle standard bridge and Standard open gear tuners Black Top mounted Stratocaster output jack, skirted control knobs Smoked chrome hardware complements the finish beautifully Matching black headstock with silver Fender headstock logo Standard single-coil Jazz Bass and Standard Split single-coil Precision Bass pickups guarantees impressive tonal versatility Thanks for looking.

    I haven’t bought any real ones yet but will when the coffers fill up a little.
  15. vinorange
    Their prices are really high for everything sold and yet they have 12763 feedback score. Who buys from them I wonder....

    Looking at that makes me feel slightly sea sick....

    Thanks. PMd him

    Just picked up a renovation project Washburn force 8 with a smashed up scratch plate. I could try to make one as it’s only single ply black but having never tried one before and not really having the right gear (yet), I was wondering if anyone on here makes scratch plates using the old one and a little imagination (there’s 2” section missing.....) Thanks.

    Nice basses. Very nice.

    Who cares what they weigh. These are absolutely fantastic basses. The feel, the tone, the neck - they’re more custom shop feel than signature. I had one, sold it and really really shouldn’t have. That and my modulus vj4. Why oh why........ Someone buy this and save me the pain of looking at it.....please.....

    That status necked jazz just sold for £560 but that wasn’t the full story. He sold it for £800 first time but the winning bidder was in Japan so the seller chose not to ship it to them (odd), then it got relisted but with a reserve and reached £610 but didn’t meet the reserve. Then it got re-re-listed without reserve and sold for £560 which is a good deal....... The moral of the story I guess is that each time the same item gets re-listed it reputationally chips value off the bass. If it was me, I’d have been shipping it to Japan after the first sale.

    Have another bump. These are great little basses. Little in size and weight but big in sound and playability.
  23. vinorange
    Have a free bump. Your bump helped my little O bass sell.
  24. vinorange
    I can only see 105 / 45. I may have to buy some “genuine” ones to satisfy my curiosity.....

    L Ive just got these Elixir strings and as far as I can tell they’re not fake. The packaging isn’t shonky, all trademarks are on the packaging and when I’ve popped them on my status necked USA P bass they seem to sound and feel nice. My only issue is that I can’t A/B them as I don’t have “genuine” ones and I don’t fancy paying £45 just to test them out.......
