Good point. Will the active EMGs be OK with the two fitted volume pots or should I swap them for the two 25k pots that came with the pickups. Sorry, not an area of much personal expertise

Cheers. In that case I could look at the retaining the two volume controls and just add the BQC control.

Do you know if the centres for the pots on the Haz would slot into a Legend by any chance? Several £s too, suddenly the EMG option seems very appealing! Given the EMG PJ active set comes with the std V/V/T wiring kit and I quite like the idea of retaining a tone control, I was thinking about sticking a BTC stack in there in a V/V/BTC/T type configuration. Do you know if this works? I have emailed EMG in the USA but slow to respond atm.

Just picked this up in a trade. Identical to my first proper bass in all but serial number, this one being a tad newer I think. I also picked up a set of active EMGs that might well find their way into the bass when I decide what preamp to go for...

Probably try a few new things out to see what floats your boat. Personally, when not playing a Fender, I do like my Spectors. (P/J x 2 and P x 1)

This is the truth

Hopefully very soon. Forecast was the end of the month so fingers crossed. I'll sort out some recordings but please bear in mind my paying is a best absolutely average

The specs on this one are: Body One piece rippled Sycamore with Callinda (burnt) finish Aged brass pickguards Finish Satin Scale length 34” Neck Wenge Fretboard Wenge 21 frets - Jescar FW55090 EVO Gold Radius 12” Side dots Luminlay Bridge Hipshot “Kickass” bridge Electronics Passive V/V/T Pickups 2x Nordstrand hum cancelling 51P pickups Strap locks Dunlop Dual Design Tuners Hipshot Ultralite lollipop style tuners Hardware colour Black

By a country mile my ACG bitsa jazz type bass. Was originally active but now vol/tone/4-way pickup switch. Cost less than £1k and is the dog's danglies.

How did they get away with the body shape without being assaulted by His High Rickenbackeriness?

Is this a real thing? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/cort-bass-guitar/114412367360?hash=item1aa3822e00%3Ag%3AWWQAAOSwudpfPpbD&LH_ItemCondition=3000

Lovely looking bass. Glad you have hopefully found The One.

Not floating my boat tbh, sorry.

Whoa, respect. I shy away from vigorous tapping of either foot on health and safety grounds. I will occasionally rythmically raise and lower my big toe during particularly up-tempo passages but only with supervision and having had the appropriate training.

You're going to get loads of different views. I've experimented a little and my preference so far have been the Wizard '84s. Not sure you can still get these so that was massively unhelpful, sorry about that. Also a fan of EMGs but I've only had the active variety.

I have one where I can play.

Just sold a bass to Dave. What a gent, he travelled down crossing international borders to collect the bass. Had the chance for a quick chat which was great as I always enjoy meeting BCers. Trade in full confidence folks. Dave is one of the good guys and the reason this place is what it is.

Does that make your eyes water?

Possibly good for metal too.

I highly recommend that you should . Mine due to be finished in a week or two all being well.... Pic just in case it helps

Bump

For me very positive. Learned the violin to a pretty decent standard and played in orchestras, quartets etc. Even toured with the national schools orchestra so learned a fair amount about music. Quartet stuff particularly useful for later playing in bands.
