Grangur Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 15 minutes ago, Fionn said: Thanks man! Aye, they are relatively rare. Made from the end of 1996 until 2000. This is from the first year of production, when they used wenge (as opposed to ovankol) for the necks. It’s not a split coil pickup, no. it’s actually two separate J pickups in the same housing, with a dummy coil between, for noise cancelling when soloing either pickup. So a bit more versatile than it first appears. The pickup position rests in the ‘Stingray’ sweet-spot though. That was the point in the Pro M. It’s like a hybrid between a Streamer and a MM Stingray. So a predecessor to the Jazzman then? Cool. I had wondered if the pickup was the original. Thanks for the info. Welcome back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear stacked pot is entirely eq (bass & treble cut and boost), the central pot is the sweep between the two pickups, and the front pot is volume. The front pot has the push-pull thing to switch between active and passive modes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back. Thank you 🙂 Aye, it’s the original MEC. I suppose this must be a predecessor to the Jazzman, sure. I think the rear pickup position is identical.

I had assumed it was a 3 band EQ as never seen a bass with a single pup which had a blend pot before every day is a school day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blablas Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Added fret lines to the Black Beast. Not especially for exact intonation but for ease of playing the beast. For me a fretless with lines is just more relaxed to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
