Its a BTB770PB 5 pot, 3 band Pre. VOL BLEND BASS MID TREB .. its wiring chaos in there 😀

This is weird. When i switch on my amp, and use blend knob to select neck pup or bridge, the bridge pup is fine, but when moving to neck pup, i get about 1 second of full volume, then it disappears, to the point where its barely audible in comparison to the bridge pup. This is not a pickup height problem, as its far too dramatic a change. Nor is it an 18v battery problem. I've fitted 2 different sets of fully charged 9v's x2 First thoughts were a dodgy wire on the blend pot, but this has proved not to be the case. Could this be a preamp problem ? If it is, i cant fix this. Too complicated

Johnathan bought a wah off me, and all was smooth as silk Cheers

I got rid of Farcebook a month ago. Almost forgotten i had an account now. Dont miss it one iota

Ordered 28th Dec, posted 30th Dec, arrived 5th Jan

Works a treat and small !

Welcome to the club

Buy one of these for £6.31 posted and cut the tube off, and leave an inch of tube so some of it will poke inside the cab, and run a bead of silicone round it to keep it in place. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133538144762?chn=ps&_ul=GB&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=133538144762&targetid=1404115578853&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046134&poi&campaignid=17218284410&mkgroupid=142217514411&rlsatarget=pla-1404115578853&abcId=9300867&merchantid=7255684 My mistake - £6.51

Removing a plaster from a wound is 10 x more painful than just ripping it off in one go, rapido. Ask female lady vox to meet in a cafe. Seagull : " Hi " Female lady vox : " What's up ? " Seagull : " Foxtrot Oscar " Female lady vox : " ?? " Seagull : " Bye " Plaster successfully ripped off.

AS someone that used to be a drummer and gigged extensively with a Roland V kit, i can say most of the problems are down to user input / output. Having said that, E drum kits were not that brilliant when they first emerged. But improvemenst are always made in any tech every year, so today they're pretty fabulous, as long as the drummer bothers to go into the brain and tweak. They certainly dont sound good if they're swamped in reverb. The only drum that possibly needs reverb is the snare, and even then, a short gated reverb is all thats required. Subtlety is everything. EQ ing BD , Toms, and Snare takes time but the balance that can be achieved over acoustic kits is way superior, and no mics required, which saves a LOAD of hassle I loved my Roland , but i would love todays kits even more if i was still playing drums. I wouldn't hesitate to use another. But bass has been my wepaon for over 20 years now.

I'm a take 2 basses to gigs, but i use them both. One fretted, one fretless. I like to live on the edge so dont take spares, apart from 2 x 9v batts for my 18v active fretted

Nice looking boxes Chris, but they're over double the price of rushbo's Wish box

Not £12 anymore - nearly £18 with postage, but if it does the job ! And it will run on 9v batt, which saves buying a power supply and somewhere to plug it in.

Would it work without the power to the LEDs ? Again, @Chienmortbb

That would definately be better than an AB box that needs power. I wonder if @Chienmortbb would recommended it ?

Probably a great bit of kit, but if i have to add another box, the AB100 is half that size

You got me there .. i dont even know that model. The only real reason i splashed the cash on the Ibby is because i wanted a 35" scale bass that wasnt too shabby. I was actually looking for a DeArmond Pilot Deluxe 4 Natural NT which i've owned in the past but they're really tricky to find

Or maybe use the A/B pedal i have ( Behringer AB 100 ) though its extra baggage and needs power too.

That never even crossed my mind. I was just trying to save time. I'll give the idea up and just manually switch basses.

Yup cheers PTP... here's mine in bold MK-2 Pickups. These can now be upgraded to the new H65 for 5-string models and the H66 for 6-string models. Available in 2JSquared(2J), Original Series (C), Classic Bass (CBC), or Singularity (S). BTB676 BTB775 BTB575 BTB770pb four string bass. Bartolini does not yet offer upgrades for this pickup shape. The electronics in this model can be upgraded with HR5.2AP/918

Passive A/B box negates the need for yet another PS, but its yet another box , so hmmm... i'm weighing it up. The Ebay item is actually on Amazon, but i hear what you say. I cant tell whether they messed up the description ( it's a Chinese adaptor ) or not. Even if not, the descripton is still odd. As i mentioned, it simply looks like 2 mono in 1 mono out, yet they mention stereo but i see nothing that makes that jack / adaptor stereo. Surely mono in is mono out ?

100% they're Mk 2's

Yes, that was my understanding, but you certainly wouldn't notice a low output. It has as much as my custom Manton. I didnt find them dark, but then i dont have any basses with original Barts to compare
