Connect the hot wire from the pickup directly to the middle lug of the tone control.

You can take the guesswork out of this by using the mathematical formula for calculating the corner frequency (point of roll-off) for a passive low pass filter -which is exactly how the tone control on passive basses work: 1/2(piRC), where R is the resistor value, C is the capacitor value, and Pi is delicious. Failing that there are a couple on online calculators, I tend to use this one... http://sim.okawa-denshi.jp/en/CRlowkeisan.htm

On-off-on switch

500k pots will brighten your tone, so if you're after a slightly dull sound out of your bass then that's not the way to go. 0.01µf is 10nf (nanofarrads), if you want something in between this value and no cap then pop a 0.0047µf (4.7nf, sometimes written as 4n7), as that's the value that's closest to the halfway point. The code for this value of capacitor is 472, though some brands of capacitor have the value printed on.

Is it any good for metal? 😄

Could you not do it with a cheap noise gate and set the threshold really low?

This just popped up on my FB feed and I thought I'd share it with the BC collective - Kinga is a MONSTER player, and is just having fun with this one. https://fb.watch/4Ezboos1xp/

Au contraire mon amie, it’s a question of how efficient and stable your operating system is, and how it manages the resources available. I’d sooner run on anything than a Windows OS; my wife has one and is forever waiting for the updates and patch downloads that she has no control over.

It’s probably not good for metal either - except for sludge.

Plus £300 p&p 🤣

Post removed, will wait for higher numbers.

‘If 6 was 9’ - Hendrix

319 - Prince

Roots, bloody roots - Sepultura

One from Mrs _5 (an actual dentist) - anything you can floss to!

Open Up - Leftfield/John Lydon

Fixing a hole - the Beatles

Novacaine for the soul?

Oh my Christ!! I like the way he highlights the small chips in the body, just in case you’re worried about that sort of thing!

Strictly speaking though, this is Orthodontics, not GDP territory.

Hook in mouth - Megadeth

New Fang - them crooked cultures

‘Cycling shorts’ style undergarments are great for keeping the bottom end nice and tight - perfect for playing in the pocket.
