I understand the lower ring cuts the high freq as I turn anti clockwise. Like you said the upper boost the gain on the freq I adjusted. So for example of the neck pickup is turn a quarter anti clockwise and the bridge pickup turn a quarter clockwise. The gain on the neck pickup is turn fully clockwise and the gain on bridge left at centre. What does it do?

Always have around 2 bass similar for backup purpose. Sell or rip the frets out is up to you, i personally would sell and scout around for a fretless.

I have ACG 0078 J Type 5 string. Is a P/J 5 string bass with the ACG 01 Preamp. I have the bass for awhile now and still trying to figure out the perfect tone and sound for me, i use the bass every now and then. It have 4 stack now which are vol/blend, 2x Low pass filter and 1x high pass filter. I understand the vol/blend control and i know what the lower ring on the low/high pass filter does. On the low pass filter it give me more low end if i roll it anti colockwise etc. What does upper ring (gain) do on the pass filter? I kinda mess around with it and couldn't figure it out so i just left it on centre. Is it the same gain principal on bass amp?

took me ages to realise i don't like the p neck ..... so thats why i step up and order a j neck to fit on the p bass. the thing is like the p bass tone and simplicity lol.

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1366381301' post='2051864'] Ah the Witchwood if I'm not mistaken? That takes me back! It was a hole 20 years ago and I doubt it has got better. Seriously, take 1 and stick it on a beer crate, its only so you can hear yourself, its less to carry and less to set up. PLus the engineer will probably be your friend if you have a smaller rig. You'll get all the bottom end you need from the FOH, in a place that size you just need some mids in your ear for definition. [/quote] Good eyes mate, you are right is the Witchwood in Ashton Under-Lyne (Manchester). The stage is packed with stuff. Our band only consist drum, bass, guitar and vocal. So not much to setup, the other band have keyboard etc. which will take up space. I'm kinda like the 1 cab idea so play my bit and just pack my bag and go lol.

Thanks Lozz, it give me something to think about tonight whether to take half or full. We play new wave rock so not uber metal or classic rock sound. The guitarist in our band just use a 100watt ish guitar combo (not valve, all solid state). So stage volume will be ok. JTUK: Regarding about the sound check slot, it seems they will have as much time as possible since people paid money to watch them and not us ........... Last time we had 10min before or less before the show starts to sound check .........

The BH500 can take three BC212 but i only have 2.

hmm, lots to think about now. my TC rig isn't exactly heavy so i could actually lure the 2x BC212 cabs without a problem. Is just i trying to take less as possible. The main problem is setting up the gear and sound check because my experience from last time (supporting the same band) is that the main band take up all the time to sound check and left us with no time to setup or sound check. We only playing 8-9 songs on the time we been given and last time the guitarist guy had no sound check at all and me and the drummer couldn't even hear the guitarist and we can barely heard the vocalist.

I played in the venue before but never really use my own gear since I always lucky to use other people's gear. Last couple of times i play all bass player uses a full stack and is insanely loud and he still require to DI to the PA for the overall sound. so basically he have a large fridge for stage monitor. Since I gonna get DI to the PA anyway and the sound guy will mix me in, i see i don't really need a full stack of 4x12. I can probably use 2x12 cab for stage monitor or just use my MXR bass DI and go straight into the mix? The problem using the MXR will be if they refuse to give me a stage monitor then i'm stuff really because i can't hear myself playing ...... This is not my band but the photo shows the same venue.

the venue is not really big ...... max around 200-300 ppl.

Doing a gig tomorrow as support band, we definite going via the PA for support, so the amp and cab is mainly for stage monitor for myself. Shall i lure the whole stack or just use half stack instead? Last time i'm lucky to use the bass amp from the bass player in the band we supporting but this time I'm not allow so have to use my own.

Maybe you want a P bass with Jazz neck? Thats what i'm doing to my precision bass. Ordered a j neck already and waiting to arrive and install

How much will this gibson bass? The guitar ES335 is ........ i guess the bass version will cost more?

think they will do a 6 string? I quite like yamaha 6 string bass.

I hope the neck is alright in terms of quality. Will keep you all updated when it arrive and fitted onto my bass. Mostly likely will get my guitar tech friend to install the neck for me and do any minor work if needed. I like my precision bass because is simple and I'm getting very lazy these days now but i like the neck on my jazz bass alot. So thats why i bought the jazz neck to fit onto the precision lol.

Since i can't get the mighty mite in vintage gloss i went for the first seller and got this neck instead. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-Bass-neck-Vitage-Color-Gloss-Finish-Maple-Fingerboard-free-shipping-20F-/221149976082?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item337d90d612 I prefer jazz neck on my precision bass but the might mite one have the fender jazz decal on but i prefer not to have any decal and be proud of no logo lol.

hahahaha I do that all the time lol. I've went to Dawsons the other day to check out some amp but couldn't see you.

If markbass decide to make a 500watt Little Mark in black line, it would be great and their cabs too.

Thats one of the best advice Andy lol. You still works in Dawsons Andy? Long time no see

Markbass is reliable. I think i will save up and buy one. I really miss my old Little Mark 250. With £250 it is very cheap to have one. If the company don't cut on QC then it doesn't really matter where to assemble. Apple iphone assemble in China as well ....... so i don't see a problem as long as the quality of QC is there. Even some Squier bass made in Far East is in decent quality and play better then some MIM Fender in my opinion.

This is a MIM Fender Classic 60 Jazz bass. I've put a set of Dimarzio pickup and J-Retro.
