    yeah spot on! thought about it and res freq of pickups ain't changed, pole pieces wire and winds all the same after all, Doh! so yeah the airy stuff loss and less smeary focus in the lows will be from the lack of acoustic transfer to amp. good call

    yeah just got a bunch of them downloaded yesterday night. then I jammed a few, then it was 2am. Then my daughter got up at 5.15am........

    Indeed I went down this road. Separate octave/fuzz/filter to EHX BMS to MB SS to Panda FI. Finally found sometime this week to jam and setup my Future Impact and it is all that and a chicken Biriyani so far. The journey wasn't that interesting just needlessly long. I'll let you know when I start just taking a MIDI keyboard and laptop out with me to gigs 😂

    So I recently noticed that my Yamaha BB 424x had got really microphonic and transferred loads of acoustic noise to the amp when tapping the pickups, body, control plate, anywhere on the bass really with the strings muted. gave it to my local tech, the awesome amazing Job Dickinson of Dickinson Amps in Crystal Palace and he did indeed diagnose the pickups as being very microphonic. So we went for it and wax potted the pickups. From a bit of research I know it's a bit of a mixed bag at whether it'll sort the problem so didn't know what to expect. Got it back and had a jam yesterday and it been cured!! microphonic noise reduced to about a 10th of what it was before So the trade off, and Jon did tell me about this pre-potting, was that the pickups would lose a bit of air and top end to the sound. They have indeed lost a fair bit of treble content which was instantly noticeable. Its almost lost too much by a hair, but the strings on it aren't the newest, I also dipped the tone a smidge before anyway and I've got plenty of pre-amp and drive control on my board to add this back in if needed. however losing that air, and I'm guessing shifting the resonant frequency of the pups down a bit and getting rid of the acoustic transfer to amp has also given the bottom and low mids incredible thump and focus!! and doesn't sound scooped at all so no Quarter Pounder syndrome. If you thought the BBs sound was massive before it's even bigger now! So all in all great to get it done and experience the results 1st hand and thou I had to trade a little top end now the bass sounds like a vintage voiced rock monster

    well trodden topic but I recently changed a fender vintage bridge for a high mass on a fender precision deluxe. It's definitely did make a difference with was a nice surprise. in agreement with @Lozz196 it definitely brought out slightly more focused top and bottom. I kinda didn't like it. lost some of the mid thump and character IMO so I went back to original bridge.

    🤣 that would indeed then make it mc awesome! alas I'm at my 5 bass limit already.

    Bit of a bargain I thought for anyone manchester way that wants a new fender stack. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Rumble-300-Head-112-210-Cabs-zoom-B1Xon-Pedal/163599809083?hash=item26174efa3b:g:0GEAAOSwY7lcjQHy&frcectupt=true

    Got this in a trade a while ago but hasn't been used much so i've put it up here. Come to the realisation that I'm not a funk machine or have the need to simulate operating a bus drivers accelerator. Has an auto on off spring loaded wah pedal and 2 modes to switch between normal mode and a more intense, resonant wah sweep Price includes UK delivery

    Nice 9 - 18v Preamp pedal. Ive finally got my tone shaping/pre-amp needs locked in now so this is surplus to requirements Its the same as the active circuit that Xotic do or did use in their basses. Velcro on the bottom Price includes UK postage

    I'm pretty sure that it's to connect it to the brown dog fuzz that chunk do so you can run the fuzz pre filter and the envelope attack still respond properly. never used it thou as I never had a brown dog so BCers please feel free to elaborate and correct me!

    TRADES: Hi end compressors, Cali 76 Compact Bass, Empress. TAFM Big Sound. Price Drop now £105 inc UK postage. Chunk Systems 00 Agent Funk mk2. If you looking at this you probably know what its about! Absolute beast of an analogue filter with switchable up and down modes and well as all the normal controls. Sad to see it go but not getting the use it deserves. The case has been scuffed a fair bit by the previous owener but otherwise in great working order. Velcro on.

    TC Spark Booster. Couple of scratches to the enclosure but otherwise in good condition. Nice active 2 band EQ and boost. Does low to med OD tones nicely as well as loads of clean volume for boosting your signal level without effecting your tone. Also has 3 way toggle switch for a 3 different of modes of boost and OD- Clean/Fat (more bass centred sound)/Mid. Velcro on bottom, switch topper on top. Price includes UK postage. Cheers

    Iron Ether Oxide. Really nice boutique fuzz now discontinued, thou I heard they are doing a limited re-issue run due to demand. Loads of tonal control and gain on tap. Basically a Wooly mammoth gated style fuzz and a Brassmaster octave up style fuzz with the ability to morph between the two sounds to your taste. Also clean volume for blending sounds, Hi cut filter EQ knob for dialling out some fizz, voice switch for a vocal like tight mid boost and a bass cut switch pre fuzz circuit for blending clean tones with just fuzzed out harmonics. Each one of these are hand etched so no two are alike. Velcro on the bottom Price includes UK postage. Cheers

    EBS Fuzzmo. Nice Bass fuzz with blend and 3 position switchable Mids, from flat (great for cutting through in the mix) to the more usual scooped muffish fuzz tones. Velcro on the bottom. Price includes UK postage Cheers
