Hi there folks,
I wonder if anyone has the same bass guitar as me and can comment on the pickup output level.
It the P Bass American Deluxe with a N3 (noiseless?) bridge pickup and 3 band active circuit. The pick ups are set to about 6-7mm below the string and have a limited range of adjustment that does not help much.
For me the passive next pick up is rounded, fat and loud (as I would expect) but the jazz bass output is a bit weedy. If you switch the guitar to the active setting then the jazz bass output is about as loud as the precision pickup in passive mode and of course the neck pickup goes up in proportion too. It's not a massive deal but it means messing with my amp in between songs. Just wondering if this was normal behaviour.
I don't have another Jazz bass to compare which is a pity.
