It's either a reversed pickup (swap the wires) or the pickups don't match and the combined (50:50) lower impedance of the pickups in parallel have reduced the output - maybe

Hello and Welcome! Seems like you've picked it up again quite well!

I'm getting lost now Did anyone see the footy earlier?

Very interesting reading how it comes down to about the same 4 effects for most people.

There's a also a nice café by the station for top bacon butties and mugs of tea

Top 30 based on what? Number of strings, number of frets, length of hair? Each one has no doubt brought something individual to bass playing (some more than others) but it's just too random a list with some glaring omissions.

You'll find this a much much better place to buy and sell than fleabay. Welcome!

Let us know how you get on with it - there's obviously no one else with one on their P

There are some pedals here that I've never heard (or heard of!)

Hey, that was really quite good - well done!

I borrowed a bass for a couple of songs once and had the same baffling experience - until I noticed the E string had been wound on the opposite way.

Ummmmm, perhaps tighten the question down then? Ok, what is the [i]main [/i]music style you play, and what 4 pedals would never leave your board?

Hi Stuart - welcome to the forums!

I've seen far too many crimes against innocent basses - it's driven me to drink, and I'm off for a very large scotch right now!

I don't think there's a UK distributor, it might be a case of ordering direct? IIRC they need a lot of power to get the best out of them because they're not very sensitive, but with that Epifani you might be ok!
