This Ibanez AFR is ticking all the boxes, except that it doesn't have a neck pickup. And it's a damn terrific ergonomic bass : https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/afr5pbp_1p_01.html Here is a video by someone who knows a bit about basses : You can find them in different iterations at bargain prices quite easily.

The AER BassCube first generation with it's 3 channels will handle the electric bass perfectly, the double bass with all the necessary settings and the "stereo" Chapman Stick too. Check the manual here to understand the huge possibilities of this powerful and transparent sounding combo : AER BassCube.pdf

Yep, at the bin !

Looks like there was a discount on pots and switches... 😂

Try the ToneRider, dirt cheap and excellent pickups : https://tonerider.com/product/precision-plus/?v=d3dcf429c679 That said, the typical Jaco tone on a fretless comes from the bridge pickup. A P-Bass won't get you that tone. The strings and almost no neck relief is important too. No bloody flats on a fretless if you want it to sing (except Thomastik Jazz Flats). Boost the 800 Hz on your amp, cut the highs and put the basses just a bit above the center click, that will help achieve the mwah.

Excellent basses, @owen. I had one, very light and very well made.

Ceramic pickup s*cks ! 😎

Definitely looks like a gray bottom 1975 Fender Precision Bass pickup.

I'll summarise it even better : a totally unknown self pretending luthier doing some TalkBass talk. I've owned some 300 basses and played more, they all sounded different, but the most important thing is way more obvious : the sound is in the fingers. Concerning the strings, there has been a very interesting comparison test for the Newtone strings that simply proved that the sound is made by the player. It's here : That said, it's an always resurfacing subject. I'll let the players make their own opinion based on their experience and I'd like to see the hearing test of those people unable to hear the difference and trying to convince the other that they are right. To me, it's up to the listener and/or player to decide without being influenced.

So, for those living in modern days, where precision matters, it's exactly 3.17514659 kilos. Very light for such a bass. Again congratulations to you @Andyjr1515: it's a superb bass ! I think I like combination 124, but 123 is good too with that humbucker on neck pickup. That said position 001 is my favourite, but what does it do exactly, except sparkles @Jus Lukin ?

That's it, they call it RHT for Right Hand Tuning. It's also in my weight bracket with 4.130 kilos.

Excellent. I love those loonies !

I've seen Motörhead a lot of times starting in the 80's and until I saw PIL in the early 80's I thought they were the loudest band ever. I was almost totally deaf for a few hours after PIL in Deinze in 1983 or 1984. Then I saw Faith No More in the 90's, dead loud. And then Magma a few times in the late 90's in small venues and they were louder than loud especially their only date in Luxembourg, which was even louder than Dinosaur Jr. Magma was so loud that the dB meter at the bar, at the other end of the venue, was always clipping at 120 dB ! Now there are strict restrictions concerning power at venues over here in Europe and that's a good thing.

Superb work and superb looking bass. Congratulations !

I lost my passport, so I can't be there for the ambush, sorry guys ! Try not to speak with bad cockney accent this time mates...

Punk !

Their last album is a pure gem. Terrific production and terrific musicians.

And lot of inaudible crap in the 70's and 80's, but the worst was the 90's... And those pop or rock bands that we liked so much in these years sound so boring and dull now. ☹️

Superb looking fantastic bass and terrific job. Apart from the missing strap pin that you mentioned @Andyjr1515, I would say that the black washers for the switches are missing too.

I listen to music from all periods, styles and origins, but find that the sh*t they dare call music these days is simply awful, especially the autotuned mainstream productions... There's always been more good than not good (didn't say bad) music, but these days it seems that the tendency is on the 🤮 side.

First fast answer is that a split coil Jazz Bass humbucker is a P-Bass pickup in conception, so reminiscent of this type of sound, especially typically wired in series. @Killed_by_Death answer is complete enough to understand the principles. And here is the complement that you can find in this amazing thread : So for those not wanting to read all the pages, here it is : So to maintain the typical raw and powerful full frequency of a single coil without the hum, the only solution is the dummy coil à la Alembic. A stacked humbucker will always be the closest to a pure single coil, but not exactly the same.
