    Been a while since I've posted one of these! Hey everyone, could do with a bit of help. Yesterday I decided to re-wire my Jackson bass with a 3 way mini toggle on each of the EMG 35HZ pickups so that I had series/parallel/split options. Found a diagram online and after doing a bit of research found that EMG use the same colour coding as Dimarzio for their passive HZ pickups but when I wired them up, the bridge pickup worked as it should & the neck pickup just didn't work. I wired both pickups in the exact same way so I don't know if I've made a simple mistake or if I've really balls'd it up! This is the diagram I used: As said, the bridge pickup works fine and the switch works fine for that one (the output is a bit low but that could be down to my dead strings) but the neck pickup doesn't work. There's a very faint signal from the neck pickup so I know the pickup and wires aren't dead, I've obviously just made a mistake somewhere. The switch is passing signal too so it's not a broken/faulty switch. Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially as I have a gig on Friday and would like to use the bass but if not, I'll use my 5 string.

    Hi Ziggy, the 45 pickups are for 6 string basses

    Not using a big pedalboard any more so time to go. I've fit loads of those cable tie things to the underside and just put on new velcro (loop side) on the rails for the new owner. It's been well used but its in good nick, does what it needs to do. Also has one of those power supply mounting brackets fitted to the underside. I had an MXR ISO Brick held in with it but others will fit too. £50. Can probably get it couriered for £5 so call it £55 all in. Paypal or bank transfer. Cash on collection also welcome.

    Aphex Bass Xciter DI pedal for sale Have used this quite a lot and it's a great pedal but im thinning my collection right down (and I have the original rack version in my home rig) so this is one to go. I had a tech replace the power jack with a different socket (still uses regular pedal power supplies) as I found that knocking the metal casing of the power cable against the metal casing of the pedal when inserting the cable caused it to short out my PSU. Since this mod was done, I've not had a single issue. Everything works as it should and barring the odd nick to the corners, the pedals in really good condition. Velcro (hook side) on the underside. £50. £5 P&P via Royal Mail 1st Class. Paypal or bank transfer, cash on collection welcome!

    EMG 40J Pickup Ideally I'd prefer to do a straight trade for an EMG 40P5 but like all EMG stuff recently, they seem sparse! Nothing wrong with this pickup or the sound of it, I just prefer the sound of a P pickup in the front position of my basses. I have it paired with a 40J-R (coil in "north" position of casing) and it sounds fantastic. I'd consider a trade for a 40CS as it sounded very similar to a P pickup when I had one in another bass but I'm happy to hold out for a 40P5 Sale price £50 plus postage, no wires included, just the pickup which is why I'd prefer a trade. Thanks

    Considering I own 3 of these and have sold everything else off, I'd say it's the old Tobias Toby Pro basses! Had my #1 (left) since my 18th birthday, done many gigs and upgrades on it and love it so much so that I bought another 4 string (right, converted to a fretless), a 5 string for use in my band and the acoustic (not pictured Toby Pro-4CE) to complete the family. I switch between which pickups I prefer but all 3 basses have Hipshot tuners, a Badass bridge & an EMG preamp

    For sale: Seymour Duncan SMB-5D ceramic 5 string MusicMan style pickup I planned on revamping a cheap OLP 5 string bass with this and the Jazz bass pickup I have for sale in another advert but ultimately never got round to it as I've thinned my bass collection down due to stepping back from gigging for a while. Excellent condition with plenty of cable left on it and works perfectly. £50. No offers as i'm already selling at a loss and in no rush to sell. £5 first class tracked postage, PayPal or Bank transfer payment. Buyer to cover Paypal fees. SOLD ELSEWHERE

    accidental duplicate thread

    Got this a few months ago but have no use for it so think I'll sell it and recoup the money from some recent purchases! Works fine, looks fine, hasn't been used much and I think I have the box for it although I'm not 100% sure. £50, £5 postage sent tracked via Royal Mail. Paypal or bank transfer accepted & proof of postage will be sent as soon as dropped off (always next day or two depending on work). Collection available from central Bedfordshire.

    My local post office opens 8am and closes 4pm, i leave for work 7am and get back after 6pm. I'm glad you're able to get to yours. Go you. 🙄

    Unfortunately won’t have a chance to post them due to work hours. Sorry.

    Decided against carrying on with this project. Could be worth while for someone with a bit of wood working expertise. I attempted to convert it to an 8 string octave bass but I got bored half way through. Easy enough to change back. Has been routed to house a humbucker in the neck position as I had it wired up like Billy Sheehan’s attitude basses. Sounded great! MUST BE COLLECTED TODAY FROM CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE ELSE IT GOES OUT FOR THE BINMEN TOMORROW.
