  1. Hi, I am new to this site and would like to introduce myself.
    I am 26 and live in Cheshire, I have played bass for around 10 years and i enjoy playing Slap bass (Mark King style) I play in a 5 piece band covering tracks from 60's - 80's. I am married with 2 kids and enjoy Fishing & Shooting. My setup consists of a Westone Thunder 1 A Bass and a Laney 160w 1,15 combo.

    NOW MY PROBLEM!

    I have a lovely Laminated bass body from the states for a custom project.

    I have picked up a set of 4 string Bartolini (Status/Alembic) soapbar type pickups.

    I believe the majority of these pickups are passive.

    I bought them from the US but the seller had no idea about wiring etc.

    I like playing slap and originally wanted an Active system but i think using these quality pickups, they will produce a great sound.

    If i use a passive circuit then maybe i could use a booster (Mid Pot) etc.

    I currently use an old Westone Thunder 1A bass and had thought of using its complete wiring circuit?

    I am struggling to find a decent neck and had also planned on using the westone neck with LED's installed and a modified ibanez musician type headstock.

    Any help or ideas would be great, Cracking site :)

    See Pics attached.

    Many thanks
    Justin :huh:
