You know what, I'm fed up by the moderators dictatorship since @ped decided to take a break: you are no god and you can tell all the crap you want, I don't care as I don't believe in god(s). I give up and don't want to argue and then counter argue, and counter counter argue and so on as it's useless. A forum is not a real place, but a virtual place where heresy and power over people seem to be the norm. I've been away for something like 9 months and I came back to notice it's getting worst. You simply like to manipulate people and walk on them, so keep going on, but you must be in such a desperate position to act like this. I won't play your game, and if you are deaf, have no ears, and like to tell būllshit, just go on as it's what's you like. I never liked people wanting to rule the world by pretending they know everything. Farewell! PS: If you have bålls, leave this post unerased and start reading before posting.

You are mismatching a lot of things. If a preamp was designed to work at 18 Volts, the lower the voltage, the higher the distortion and also the lower the headroom, also meaning more compression and less dynamic with lower voltage. The Ibanez preamp you are talking about was designed around discrete circuits needing less voltage and also less current, so I don't see the point in what you're stating... And a lot of passive bass pickups are having a signal higher than 1 Volt peak to peak, except if you only hardly touch the strings.

So @binky_bass are going to say the magic words?

Not even close, it's a stupid marketing idea and they are proud of it... 🤦🏻‍♂️

Indeed, the USA made Cirrus line appeared in 1997, just a year before the end of the TL-Six series. Mine is from 1989, first year of TL-Six model.

Better low end definition and overall (faster) attack thanks to the added headroom to the preamp, always worth giving a try. In short, the preamp won't be pushed to its limits too fast.

As you know it Russ, I own a first generation TL-Six in not such an immaculate condition: amazing basses indeed.

After a couple of months, Mick?

9 years.

The Glarry Glitter... For those who didn't get it. 👌 @King Tut 🤣

They are so proud of their work that didn't put a name or logo on the blue one, ... just in case.

Sounds like me trying to play with a tendonitis: I even can feel the electrical discharges.

Congratulations! 👏

All right! It's Zee Wango, Zee Tango...

Strangely they both committed suicide even if Roy Buchanan's suicide is still a bit of a mystery, if not doubtful... Loved the way they both played guitar.

My guitar hero during the 90's ! Thanks Jack.

Tried to put it in my nose, but it's too big.

In fact, the batteries (18 Volts on the Frankenstein Bass) are in the original P-Bass routing, so all you have to do is make a cover and screw it there. Check the video below where Lee Sklar explains everything about his Frankenstein Bass. Skip the intro and start at 1:03.

Don't forget the producer switch even if there is none on his Frankenstein Bass. I like your raw finish, which is close to Lee Sklar original Frankenstein Bass.

Strangely @ped there is a Mick Karn vibe in your sound when there's 80% balance of the rear (I still don't know which pickup you mean) and 30% tone, and I love it.

Where did I say that it's a new concept?!? 🤔

Thanks for taking me for an idiot. So, if you want the explanations, it's not what you wrote as the 4 coils are especially designed to have the two P-Bass pickups types, plus any J-Bass configuration (parallel, series, outer or inner) or anything always hum-cancelling plus the 4 coils wired in parallel or series, or 2 coils in parallel and 2 coils in series or the opposite, so a real 4 coils pickup, sorry. These Quad Coil pickups are in fact very versatile and have ... 4 coils.

I don't see the point @TheGreek, and you don't seem to understand that there are newbees everyday on BassChat who don't know that it's already been "advertised". And what a selfish behaviour to state that! 🤦🏻‍♂️☹️
