  1. Passive... Have a look at the Artec QTP (stellatone-a-thing...) for a Passive Tone Control... bit more 'scope' than a pot 'n 47u...
  2. Tried the BDI Mid Mod? A 10k resistor simply soldered to the back of the board... Top C19 to Bottom R16. Make sure the resistor leads don't touch other components.
  3. Whats the Bass? Move, or add a strap button to the neck heel / back of pocket... SG style, it moves the bass round, and hang more central, but nut will be further away... I want to turn up some neck plate screws that have a strap button on the end... 'Prolly best with a machine thread in to neck collet nut inserts...
  4. Alone Again Or - The Damned
  5. Yep... but if ya building a Bitsa, you won't have the original screws...
  6. Very Nice... Enjoy! My Bitsas were fun to do, but significantly cheaper i think...
  7. Lacquered Maple... untreated Pau Ferro. Wonder how a lacquered both, or untreated both would sound side by side?
  8. {Great Post} Availability would then also come in to it... and be nice to have 2 or 3 of the same model to choose from. Whats the music? Squier P or an Ibby SR300
  9. Male to Female extension cable... and some adhesive cable clips.
  10. CDs ripped to mp3... I want to be able to listen without internet access... My lil Sony mp3 'stick' is a great form factor but only 2 Meg so frequent synching with a laptop to change... Would love a 8 or 16 Meg stick.
  11. @iconic the HB Flats look like the Olympia Packaging. I'm an Adagio Flats Fan, possibly the same.
  12. Attack of the 50' Woman - The Tubes
  13. You could always seek consolation in Salmon Pink (Black or White) @ £170 https://www.fender.com/en-GB/squier-electric-basses/other/squier-sonic-bronco-bass/0373802580.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3v7oy4PX_gIVSuztCh3pKA9SEAQYAyABEgLk3fD_BwE

  15. How about sticking some of these... https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_hqs_bass_45_100_flatwound.htm On one of these... https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_b_30bk_fl_acoustic_bass_serie.htm I likes my HB HBO 850B Acoustic with Flats.
  16. Hello... Lionel Ritchie
  17. Ibby SR and pacify it... With a nice pair of 5 J's... I'd be inclined to leave the original cavities... Simple. Also recommend the Artec QTP for more passive tone action!
  18. DH Gate... like a wholesale AliExpress...
  19. Whatever the nut material.. as long as the nut slots are right... it only sounds different on open strings...
  20. @Owen @Reggaebass Barnaby and Me
  21. @bassjim have a listen to this.. I'd go with a clean, new screws if long, and thread lock.
  22. Spalding Fasteners on ebay. Dog or Cone Point SS grub screws Check Metric or imperial. 8, 10, 12mm length so stops all the extra poking out above the saddle. Low Strength Thread lock, real small dribble, put tape down around the bridge, as the solution is red or blue etc, so might stain, particularly white scratchplate.
  23. Which Shape, Pray Tell? Tele Head? Got a Template 'n Pencil?
  24. Whats missing in the diag and may add to some confusion are extra grounds, wires from solder tags in the pup cavities, and an earth wire from the bridge. Search for 'MN Taper' on here might help 250k or 500k. I've replaced all my Twin Pickup,Twin Vol to Blend. About 6...
