Howdy!

Welcome! You mean a 'rightie' lefty? Nice Jazz!

Welcome!

Picked this up from Fenderforum/Talkbass guys, and it works. If you have one of these, it has the TEB101 humbucker. It's a 4-wire jobby! This means any amount of switching is possible. The basic mod to tame the mud involves getting under the guard and finding the red and white wires soldered together. Separate them, solder the red to ground and the white to the same volume pot tag as the green wire. Bingo! You now have an 11.5Kohm parallel humbucker, which is a more reasonable output and has considerably more mids and highs to play with. Still lots of beef from the positioning, but much more usable.! There are threads on TB showing a full series/parallel/single-coil switch mod, so more is possible with hole drilling!

You will not, and cannot, get the same sound as a Jazz out of a Precision. The only way to do that is to install two Jazz pickups. Which means you might as well use the Jazz... Any good P pickup ought to do the job of sounding like a P. And why is output such a big deaal when you have the SABDDI there do sort out the level? They are different animals, and there's little you can do to make them the same. A P with a jazz bridge pickup comes close, probably the best of both worlds if you must use a a Precision Bass. I'm not a fan of actives in any way, so can't help there. As far as I'm concerned, signal levels that high are best generated inside the amp, not smacked into the input socket. Which is why I don'tuse a SABDDI either...if you have a good amp, you don't need one, except for overdrive.

L/H side looking north! Where are you in Devon?

Welcome!

After all these years playing, doing my first proper on-stage type gig at The Wharf in Tavistock. We played a blinder, the crowd was great, and we even got paid pretty well! 2nd gig there was nearly as successful, but not as much fun, for no reason I can yet understand...we certainly didn't play as well, but the crowd certainly was as good and supportive, so result!

Since replying to this, I'm already drooling over a natural maple fretless Precision. Oh, my aching wallet...

That's not nice hot chocolate, no sir... Welcome!

Welcome!

Howdy!

Welcome! Plenty to see and do on here. And waaaay to much to buy...*sigh*

Welcome! R'n'R stardom never ENTIRELY passes you by, even if only at a local level!

Well, it didn't stabilise. Now I've added a spacer, clamped it into a backbow, then tightened the rod. Now I just wait and see...

Greetings!

I do tend to do both. However, we're a three-piece and I sing BVs, so I have little choice but to engage with the audience to some extent, and that's good, because of all what Oldgit said. My natural style, however, is neck gazing. To some extent, that's because I'm so happy to be able to do this, and I LIKE seeing myself doing it, as it were... Cripes, I'm even doing it over there <<<

Howdy Pepone, love that Oly White Precision! But then I'm a bit of a sucker for a nice P-bass!

Welcome!

Welcome! *grumblegrumblegrumble*
