    Exactly my thoughts, the ANT would sit nicely on top of my BF One-10 with my Zoom B1-Four sitting on the LHS top of the ANT . A neat little rig methinks.

    Does anyone know how the OriginAL-500H fits in? Is the tone stack similar to the RM-500 & 800?

    Has anyone acquired one of these? What are the main differences between an Ant & a Newt? Update The Newt is not a Bass amp. ( 4 out of 10 for Homework DaBass, see me after class) Anyone compared with the Elf, BAM200 & Warwick Gnome?

    I own a USA EBMM Sterling (late 90s when they first appeared) , single Pup, 3 band EQ, maple neck ash body and the neck is Jazz width and very skinny. The 3 position switch gives, series, single ( with phantom coil ) and parallel. So the basic Stingray sound is easily dialled in but with the addition of a much broader range of pleasing tones. I have Fender Flats on it and is a very versatile, easy to use bass. Best of luck with your project, I'm sure will achieve a bass that's very special.

    I would prefer the estate version. Oooops NO!!! it's called a hearse.

    This really appeals to me, what scale length were they? It's a far more sensible offering rather than those horrible Bitsa efforts. Did Jackson offer a YTS scheme at anytime?

    https://www.guitarworld.com/news/gibson-acquires-mesaboogie-amps I am not sure if this is good news. Gibson don't have a good track record of successfully running acquired businesses. They appear to be struggling to run their own business properly how on earth can they develop Mesa.🤐. I really hope this acquisition does not go the same way as some of the other over ambitious purchases. @agedhorse you have my very best wishes for your future. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-01/gibson-files-for-bankruptcy-with-deal-to-renew-guitar-business

    I have used Warman PUPs from Warman guitars. They are fantastic value for money and deliver a huge range of tones using AlNico magnets. Couple it to a KiOgon loom and you won't be disappointed. Current price is around £22. https://www.warmanguitars.co.uk/product/mm4-4-string-bass-humbucker-13-09kohm-4-wire-overwound/

    The heel of my Fender MIM Stu Hamm Urge neck is 62.7mm and fits the neck pocket with some slight clearance. The MM 84A SB has a 34ins scale and 24 frets, this means that the bridge is fitted closer to the neck to accommodate the 24 frets of the 34ins scale. You need to compare photos of the MM 84A and the MB-4 side by side, you will see that bridge is mounted in different positions. This was one of the reasons why I chose the MM 84A because the bridge was fitted at a position close enough to accommodate my 32ins scale neck( only had to purchase extra long 70mm bridge piece screws). I believe if you tried to fit a standard Fender 34ins scale 20 fret neck to the MM 84A you may have to move the bridge back towards back end of the body to allow for correct 34ins scale intonation. That shouldn't be be too much of a mod as the existing bridge mounting holes would be hidden under the bridge. Apologies for such a long answer. ( I normally try to avoid taking up too much space on threads with endless drivel)😂😂😂😂😂

    I replaced the neck with a Fender MIM Stu Hamm 32ins and added some longer bridge piece screws (70mm) to achieve the correct 32ins scale intonation. Even though the tone controls have centre detent the mid point is not really "flat". I prefer to back treble, mid & bass right off and then just add to achieve the tone needed. The range of tones on offer is very broad indeed. My upgrade plans are to install Warman PUPs and CTS pots.

    What strings did you decide to use?
  16. JohnDaBass
    The routing for the Pups is over sized so great for changing to a wide variety of Pups but not possible to remove the pickguard. Maybe tort pickguard sometime in the future.

    I am really impressed with the range of tones on offer with the Harley Benton MM 84A body, but the control pots are your typical low cost Chinese variety. So I sent an email to Thomann Service department ( cheekily) asking for a copy of the circuit diagram or parts list for the Bass. Within 24hrs I received a PDF of the circuit with the values of the pots clearly shown. They reminded me that I would invalidate my 3 yrs. warranty if I did proceed to upgrade the pots. I did some Tinterweb searching and discovered that the company supplying the preamp for the MM 84A designs and supplies preamps to C F Martin for their acoustic guitars. Another good endorsement for the quality of the parts used in the some of the Harley Benton basses. I have used Warman Pups of other Bitsa projects and from Jeff @DarkHeart feedback I think I will be replacing the current Pups with Warman.

    This really appeals to me, I have been considering a Line6 POD Go but I'll wait to hear what others think once the bass version is released in the UK

    How much of an improvement did the Warman pup make?
  23. JohnDaBass
    Do you have to use Brasso to keep the pickguard clean 😂😂😂😂😂😂
  24. JohnDaBass
    Purchased one last week , as @stewblack said great variety of sounds on offer the 5 way switch is very effective to change tone mid-song. See more details on the Bitsa thread.
