    I ripped it all out of my TT4 Superlight, but replaced it with EMG J set (the original type) and a 3 band. The Originals were designed to sound like trad J pickups but without the hum. They are a lot more restrained than the X versions or the dual coils. Probably why Bobby Vega loves them so much. Those, with some flats and it's perfect for my needs.

    WASP - The Real Me. As much as I love The Who and JE, Johnny Rod did better on this version.

    Not anymore. Modern ones model the entire signal path down to component level rather than the sound. So within the code they can change a resistor value in the ‘circuit’ if they want.

    If it’s a black plate then just use one of those tiny webcam stickers to cover the hole. Or leave an unconnected pot there.

    Go passive as well. Use 250k pots. 500k are likely to be too bright.

    I'd like one of these 22.5 inch scale. Marleaux Soprano.

    I love Sandberg but those pickups are horrible. Aguilar 60s wind replacement and a 250 pot set will do it.

    Amplitude free will do this, and do amp sims and will import from iTunes

    I'd love something like this, but it will be too heavy for me, alas.

    BEAD tuning is quite popular. Sometimes even lower these days. It's not dangerous at all. Just get it set up right. Sometimes it's easier to get a new nut and keep the old one for putting back on in case you ever want to sell it.

    I love the original EMG J pickups. I put a set in my Sandberg. Great J tone and completely hum free.

    I agree. I've had a go on the Shuriken guitar with a helix and it was amazing. Jazz box to Tele to Les Paul all with the click of a footswitch. Then - footswitch control of tunings - even individual strings, and it can also turn off strings as well if they get in the way for some parts. If only this was available to us bass players!

    It's a different type of processing. Even for guitar use the variax is still for sale (and the Shuriken one seems to be popular) because the unit itself cannot do what you want without the special bridge and the on-guitar processing. The bridge is needed because each string is processed individually within the instrument. Cannot do that with normal pickups. Helix will control most variax guitars but I don't think it can control the bass one as the tech is now too old. So even if you do the guts transplant it won't do anything more than it did before. It appears there is not enough interest for a new bass variax. They didn't sell a lot the first time round.

    The first series were really heavy. I sold my 5 string TM5 because of it. Was a lovely bass, just far too heavy. The California 2 series is a lot lighter, and the Super Light even lighter still.

    They've been working on pedals and amps for a while I believe. With luck it will go more smoothly than NeuralDSP / Darkglass launch of the quad cortex which seems to be turning into a nightmare.

    Price drop to £225.00

    My internal SSD is nearly full. SSD is a lot faster than spinning rust. Even on simple things like saving a large excel spreadsheet loading and saving is noticeably faster.

    Lovely. How do I make it install onto my external SDD instead of the C drive? Not much room left on that.
  22. fretmeister
    Fantastic basses. I love mine.

    Bump - now for sale and not trade as circumstances have changed. Christmas expenses / covid etc. ta
  24. fretmeister
    If they are short enough switches it shouldn't be an issue.

    I learn 1 bar at a time. Get that nailed and then move onto the next one. Nail that, then string the 2 together. Then do the 3rd etc etc. Each time I add a new one I remove any clues of the first one so force me to remember it.
