    Hi,

    Purchased in 2009 (2nd hand).. I bought a 6 string bass, so i don't use this one as much.

    It has all the original hardware with the exception of the straplock. I've repalced them for a Dunlop straplock system.

    I'm asking about 1250€ (shipping from Portugal to UK included, if you're from other UE country i can check shipping prices) for the bass and it's original hardcase.

    I might be interested in swap it for a Fender Marcus Miller JB.

    I can also send more detailed photos to anyone that's interested in it. Just PM or email me.

    You can check my ebay feedback (user name "lmbalcao") to see that i'm trustworthy.

    Thanks,
    Luis

    I will see what literature i can find, manuals and the like - think i should have it all, bar the box it came in. I'm thinking about £220 for this collected, or £230 in the post.

    [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' post='706417' date='Jan 9 2010, 11:46 AM']I'm not familliar with Nordstrand pick-ups, however, I do have a few thoughts;

    Have you had the bass for long, and has it always been this way? Or has it just started?
    I presume you've tried fresh batteries!
    Could one of the potentiometers be worn out/ faulty / damaged - The volume would be my first one to check.
    It's not unusual for basses to have a hotter ouput in active mode than passive - Most Warwicks are at least a bit quieter in my experience.
    Could the Nordstrands just be lower in output than you expect, and that perception is reinforced by the higher output from the Musicman?

    Just some ideas...[/quote]

    Solved the problem. Thanks for the feedback.

    Hi!

    I have a custom 6 string bass with Nordstrand Fat Stack set and Aguilar OBP3.

    The pots used were the following:

    Treble: 50k, Linear Taper, Center Detent
    Bass: 50k, Linear Taper, Center Detent
    Mid: 50k, Linear Taper, Center Detent, DPDT (push pull for mid boost)
    Blend: 250k, Dual Ganged, Linear Taper, Center Detent
    Volume: 250k Push Pull A/P Linear Taper DPDT (push-pull for active/passive mode)
    Passive: Tone 250k Audio Taper (This connection was altered to affect only the passive tone)
    Switch: DPDT PU mode selector

    It was all connected using this scheme and the only change made was in the tone pot that was affecting the active mode aswell, so the luthier changed some wires and now it only has any effect in passive mode.

    The bass has a good tone but a very low output. My musicman has x2 or x3 more output. This one doesn't even clip my amp. To get any high volume i need to have the gain at 7 and volume above 5 (both values go from 1 to 10 and both basses with maxed volume and all eq's flat).. With my musicman the values just need to be below 5 on both amp settings.

    Other situation is that the passive volume e much lower than the active volume.

    Are these 2 situations normal? What can i do to repair them?

    I can post photos of the wiring if needed.

    Thanks in advance.
