Ta, thought it would be

Yeah, Am going to try that first but in the event that it needs pots, just wanted to have them in over Christmas, Thanks

Ah yes! forgot to ask - What cap should be in there as standard?

Members 0 13 posts Report post Posted 5 minutes ago (edited) Help! My son has a Mexican precision bass deluxe series-98-99 red with gold anodised pickguard with passive pickups (1 x Jazz and 1 x Precision). He has an issue with a crackly pot (not sure which) and has asked if I can sort it. I have decide that the best course of action is to replace the pots as the are reasonably cheap and it would be a good place to start. I would like to do it during the festive period, but my problem is that I can't get my hands on the instrument before Christmas so that I can see what the pots are which I would need to buy for the job. Does anyone know which pots are in the bass - 250k or 500k, Linear or Audio-taper. I THINK it currently has 2 vol + 1 master tone. Pic attached of the bass Thanks all. https://imgur.com/ei8mltF

Thanks all. Just picked up a Babicz for £45 so sorted there (for now). Still open to suggestions/comments on the pups.

Thanks guys. Also been looking at Babicz bridges - Any thoughts? I think the appeal with the Babicz is the fact that once set up they can be locked.

Does anyone have any opinion on Bare Knuckle Bass pickups? Firstly - I'm NOT a bassist - sorry! I'm considering buying a P-Bass pickup for my son (who is a bassist) as a surprise for Christmas. He has a Mexican precision bass deluxe series-98-99 red with gold anodised pickguard with passive pickups. (See below). I have had a few BK pickups in my guitars and swear by them, just wondered if the Bass pickups were as good. Also He definitely wants to upgrade the bridge - he has suggested a Badass II but I have seen very good reports about the Hipshot Kickass - any comments there would also be appreciated. (I know that the Badass is no longer available but I have seen them around used and that wouldn't be a problem). Thanks in advance.

[quote name='GreeneKing' timestamp='1498487409' post='3324949'] It's become a tad traditional I think. When MarkBass first moved production to the Far East there were some concerns. They seem to have been alleviated with time. [color=#ff8c00]Yes I did it too [/color] [/quote] Must Admit, I hadn't noticed,

That was pretty much my thoughts. It's just that some people seem to make a point that theirs is Italian made when selling one which made me wonder if they were somehow superior.
