I think you only think you know who he's talking about, and i think he's not talking about the same shop as you think he's talking about

If only the rest of the pub venue landlords were that clued up

Indeed, very difficult to bring out a headstock thats unique but not a pigs ear. Still, it may not suit everyone

That bass is awesome. Unique headstock - love it

Indeed i guess that could be one answer, though TBH, i'd prefer not too. I'll ask my local guitar tech if 3.1 k ohms difference is nothing or something

What exactly is wrong with the wiring ? Not sure thats a reason to go active. You could just re-wire it, though i cant see a problem in your photo

So it's passive right now, with " high output pickups " I'm wondering whether active is the right way to go with high output pups, since most factory active basses have lower output pups, due to the boost of a preamp Still, wouldnt do any harm i guess. Just turn your current amps EQ down when you first plug in. Personally, i'd leave that gorgeous bass alone.

There's nothing like answering your own questions I'll be doing the same in the K Ohms thread by the look of it !

The body shape sort of reminds me of a Viking weapon

Ooops. That bridge The strap button looks a bit mad, too

That is hilarious !

Pointless observation

Are they not generic size jack sockets, as per bass jacks ?

I've been forced to phone a nurse

I'm going to replace a bridge pickup, and the new pup is 11.3 K ohms which is 3.1 K ohms lower than the neck, which is 14.4 K ohms As far as i'm aware, for obvious reasons, the higher resistance pups tend to be at the bridge position, but in reality, is 3.1 K ohms a small enough difference for it not to matter ? Of course i can lower the neck pup and set the bridge pup as close to the strings before i hit magnet pull. The other option is to swap them round and put the lower K ohm pup at the neck, but this will require more work Hopefully, the small difference means i can get past a volume in-balance by using the pup height adjustment
