Oh and a pint owed to @Doctor J as well haha. Si

Ok......I owe you a pint! 😆 All fixed! Thanks for all the help everyone! Basschat strikes again! Cheers Si

Brill, thanks for the clarification! Going to try it in a bit! Si

Paging @Andyjr1515 and @Doctor J 😅

So purely for my own understanding......the wiring looks to be 'correct' when going by this generic layout I found via the Googulz: If I swap the two cables as mentioned, isn't that just sending the Jazz p'up live to ground? Or is there a suggestion that the Jazz wire colours aren't correct (ie colour for live, black for ground). Again, purely for me to try and do some learning. Cheers Si

It has somewhat made me question my ‘tech’ decisions….regarding electronics in any case. Setups have always been fine. Si

Thanks, will give that a go today! Cheers Si

How does this look in relation to your diagnosis? @Doctor J @Andyjr1515 Thanks very much Si

In a PM: ”Would you take half of what you’ve advertised it for?” Si

Yeah the Regal sounds great to my ears! I haven’t compared it to my actual Noble yet, but think it will compare favourably. Si

My Lakland bass is a straight-up passive P/J, nothing fancy. It was working perfectly, both pickups on full, sounded lovely, nothing weird. Then I took it to a tech who, for reasons that are boring, removed the pickups and then had to refit them. However, now, when both pickups are on full, they are horribly out of phase, thin and weedy sounding. I have to slightly back one of them off to get them working properly again. I’ll post a pic of the cavity tomorrow, but any immediate thoughts why this might have started happening after the refit? Wired in a particular (wrong?) way? Cheers Si

The EBS seem to be the way to go, has anyone compared them to the Donner ones? Si

MXR Bass Chorus all the way for me….also includes a bonus Flanger effect too. Si

I think basically my Lakland can use Long Scale fine (like the White Nylons it currently has), so that’s fine. Not so with my Elrick unfortunately, it has a zero fret which means that it needs Extra Long Scale, slightly annoying but meh. Si

Cool, thanks very much. Si

Do you find that the 34” sets fit 35”? Or do you go for the 36” sets? Si

Another article: https://empireears.com/blogs/news/why-you-should-never-wear-only-one-in-ear-monitor#:~:text=Wearing a single earphone increases,a risk to your hearing. Si

Really really bad for your hearing. Generally speaking, if you don't get moulded/fitted ear-pieces, any generic IEM earbud will let in enough ambient sound in order to monitor your bass and the band. Flipping this on its head, I find that standard moulded earplugs (if you don't wear them already) can lead to much better vocal monitoring, as you naturally hear it more in your head. Si

I tell you what, I have a proper Love/Hate relationship with these White Nylon strings. I HATE them acoustically, horrible clattering strings, but plugged in on a gig, they’re lush and feel sooo good. I go in and out of wanting to change them…..tonight I might leave them a little longer haha. Si

Yeah TI's are probably a good shout to take a look at. Don't think I've ever tried GHS, so will look at what's around. Cheers Si

Yeah I have White Nylons on the bass at the moment (should have mentioned that), and love them, but the tensions is a little toooooo light. I like how malleable they are to the fingers, but the clattering on the frets is too much for me. Figured some low-ish tension flats would be a good middle ground. Si

Very specific setup I know, but which strings are you using? I don't want anything too high tension....which is somewhat difficult considering the 35" scale. Thoughts? Cheers Si

£11k with a refinished neck? Does that mean the logo is also a replica? I'm no expert, but the burst colour doesn't look right to me either, but could be down to lighting potentially. Si
