I feel I should ask now, as this thread is starting again... Would off-topic not make more sense than General Bass Discussions for this?
Me, sometime over Christmas 06/07
[attachment=41:Me.jpg]
My new Status Graphite bass (November 06).
Specs:
S2 Classic Through Neck Headless
5 String, EADGC
Board 302
Walnut/Utile back, "MooWood" front (Spalted Siberian Ash, we believe)
Black Hardware
I can't see that connecting a resistor between 1 and 5 would make any difference to the sound on 5, as 1 would not be connected and so the resistor would play no part in the signal path.
Unless I've misunderstood you, it's all grand.
