[quote name='obbm' post='176769' date='Apr 14 2008, 11:57 PM']Actually the 2-band is bass boost only and treble cut/boost. When he was designing his MM replacement 2-band pre-amp John East wrote an excellent description of how the circuit works for the old Dudepit. Regretably that no longer exists. Perhaps we could persuade him to write it again. If I remember the bass is desined to be boost only BUT because of the way the circuit works it gives the impression of bass cut and boost.[/quote] thanks - i've been wondering for ages how my 1979 sabre's eq circuit worked !

could you use a dab of glue on the end on an allen key, and then stick that to what's left of the screw and rotate it out ?

can't see no pics

although with the way the guitard in one of the bands is behaving...i might have a little more free time coming up... whereabouts in london are you ?

nice to see trad jazz getting a mention on the forum

i sent off my awful boss cs-3 compressor to the folks at www.pedalmods.com last week for a complete overhaul, including replacing the caps with high quality panasonics, fitting a burr brown op amp and filling my request to make it more bass-friendly. the result ? they've turned possibly one of the worst pedal compressors going into a quality piece of kit. loads less noise and a lot more usable sweep of sounds. quick turnaround and excellent updates as the work was taking place. if you're thinking of having some pedal mods done, then i recommend you have a word with them.

if i wasn't in two bands already, i'd be knocking at your door, bass in hand !

black. is there any other choice ?

[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='171999' date='Apr 8 2008, 07:57 AM']Go for it - There's nothing wrong with modding a cheap bass - if nothing else it builds up experience, so working on a more expensive bass later will be less daunting.[/quote] plus the one. i've got a japcrap jazz bass i'm working on at the moment...i'm going to put some kent armstrong pickups in it, one of which will cost more than the bass itself, but it's fun and all good experience.

i'm quite tempted by one of these...anything that improves strength in that area must be good.

effects i can bring: mxr bass di+ digitech bad monkey ehx small stone ehx small clone boss dm2 delay modded boss cs-3 ruetz modded-rat and soon to arrive: ehx holy stain
