My ibanez SR1000 has one of those from the factory. They used to be more common before the switchable frequency thing they have now. Well, the 5005 also had one but its control was so poor I replaced it with a glockenklang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The previous owner had replaced the original pre-amp with one of John East's, and fortunately for me (unfortunately for him!) he had apparently lost the original, so couldn't; swap it back before trading it in at Bass Direct. My other Ibanez 6 has a switchable midrange, but the effect on the output is very small compared to the East pre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This... and a distinct lack of mass. I'm currently enjoying a P Bass with two separate single-coil pickups. OK, it's a Jazz, but the principle's the same.

micguy Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Pickuos that don’t hum. We’ve known for many decades how to do this, all the basic patents have expired. Why do people still make basses that hum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been possible to make a dustpan and brush that actually picks up dust for many years. Try and buy one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the same, yes, it has quite a wide range, you can do a passable wahwah effect with it! Oh yes, looked on bass direct, that is the same model line, so by default it is volume, balance, bass/treble stacked and mid/mid frequency stacked. Its the 4 string that even though I only really play 5 strings I wouldn't sell. Edited November 6, 2018 by Woodinblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisisswanbon Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Truss rod wheel at the base of the neck always made more sense to me (not sure if possible on neck thru though) Definitely agree with top loading bridges, they're an absolute godsend!
