KiOgon (username) on here can knock you up an excellent quality circuit that does exactly what you want. Failing that you'll need a dual 250kΩ (or 500kΩ) potentiometer and wire it like this: The two 'sources' are your hot pickup wires.

Me too. My main cable is over 30 years old, so something is working!

Unless they’re a left-hand thread, but everyone knows that!

Do You need to wear glasses when playing bass?

Yes. Because I’m old and wretched I have varifocals. -
Nobody can dance with a Wal slung around their neck!

I think the only track on BSSM that was a stingray was the 5 String on ‘The righteous and the wicked’, everything else was the Wal.

For bass players - who preffer to sing back vocals ?

It’s surprising how well the ‘shouting at approximate pitch’ approach works! -

I got coerced into BVs during my tenure in a metal band, and really enjoy doing them now. I’ve known from a young age that Pavarotti was never going to lose any sleep over my vocal ‘abilities’, but well placed harmonies can often mean the difference between a good live band and a great live band. -
I've avoided using a compressor for years, and tend to favour a HPF over an actual compressor. I fire mine (Emma Discombobulator) on for slap passages as it's set to a fast attack time and quite a heavy compression.

One fretted, one fretless. Identical models apart from the ‘speed bumps’ - ensures I don’t have to muck about with eq settings or compressor thresholds etc…

Yup. I went back to watch the video and to be fair, after about a minute she DOES play a Jazz… with the bridge pickup dialled all the way back so it just sounds similar to the P bass. Awesome.

The power of equality - RHCP

...ideally one where the bridge is hanging off the ârsę end of it!

I will fight you!!

I’ve just had this ad pop up on FBook - seems as though there’s no real difference betwixt the two… just so everyone knows, I’m Jazz all the way, they’re good for metal too.

I can't recommend getting a phase switch enough, it's worth whatever extra you have to pay just to not have your signal (or parts of it) disappear when you're approaching a 50/50 blend. Unless you've got an oscilloscope or similar device for checking the signal phase then a phase reverse switch is a must.
