AndyTravis Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Hot dang. Played one of these for a good while upon release - also had a lovely EB4 PRS for a while. This is a stunner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Man, this bass has one of the best looking finishes I've seen in a very long time. Very tempting 😍 Quick question about the passive mode. As far as I understand it, by pulling one of the volume knobs, the corresponding pickup is soloed (i.e., the other is de-activated) and the bass becomes passive. By pulling both volume knobs, both pickups are engaged in passive mode. Does one of the bass/treble/mid EQ knobs then turn into a passive tone control? I could not find any info on that but it would make sense to have such a config. GLWTS 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manor57 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 pulling the volume control up turns it into passive , but i’ve never used it in passive as i prefer active mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manor57 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 these are switching arrangements SWITCHING Knobs 1-2 are volume controls and passive/active switch: Knob 1: Neck pickup volume. Down = Active, Up = Passive If this knob is up and Knob 2 is down only the neck pickup (passive) is heard Knob 2: Bridge pickup volume. Down = Active, Up = Passive If this knob is up and Knob 1 is down only the bridge pickup (passive) is heard. If both knob 1 and knob 2 are in the up position, both pickups (passive) are heard. Knobs 3-5 are a 3-band EQ control: Knob 3: Bass EQ. Functions with pickups in active mode. Knob 4: Mid EQ. Functions with pickups in active mode. Knob 5: Treble EQ. Functions with pickups in active mode. The bass will function passively without batteries as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldon Tyrell Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Thanks, quite a complex arrangement that gives players lots of tonal flexibility. Cool stuff. Just wished they had included a passive tone control for the passive mode as well (e.g., the treble knob could have acted as a tone control in passive mode).

Manor57 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 i think most peeps run them in active and there a huge range of tones to be had from it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 If this would have been in Belgium this would have been sold to me but with exchange rates and Brexit..it's a different story. One of those instruments I always wanted to have ever since I heard Grainger with it, they sound like a bass should sound to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Very tempting but someone has to by my 74 Fender P from Andy Baxter first before I have money to spend on beauties like this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
