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

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but i managed to get it out with Optrex https://www.bassplayer.com/gear/tensor-announces-4-string-line-of-custom-bass-guitars-64667

Really ? Why not try a search

Anyone ever wondered why car manufacturers 95% of the time all follow each other ? See how they're almost all now gearing towards the SUV style ? No one dares be different. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz MB established good products while daring to steer away from the equivalent of Institution Beige ( black ) I've owned MB cabs, and in both yellow and black drivers ( New York 604 - black , New York 2x12 - yellow ) and i always preferred the yellow, because thats their brand. YMMV of course, as it always does with personal taste.

But yellow is this years black

A right f""££$$%!!! barista , by the sound of it

You can't trust them. They'll obviously do this again at some point, as they've shown what their philosophy regarding band etiquette is Announce on Farcebook a week before the gig that you forgot you were having your eyebrows plucked on that date

Way better than me As is this other bassist. Great work /timing from both of them This blue bass has a wonderful tone

Just buy a Rickenbacker. Job done

Cheers Phil

Hmmm.. i'm seeing this :

Aha You did the safest method known to man. Well done

Thats a bit odd. If i was the seller of the bass you won, it would be ME who insisted on insured delivery, because if it turned up as a box of matchwood, its the seller who loses out financially with Ebay. The seller also has the unenviable task of trying to get their compensation from the courier As a buyer, all you have to do is hit the resolution button

It wasn't as easy i'd imagined. Man shed with space to work and some proper power tools would have made it a lot easier If it hadn't have been for Richard, it would never have happened. Luckily i got guided through the maze
