    Do you know what value and type pots John east is using in the passive volume, blend and tone control?
  2. LukeFRC
    to be fair his videos make most basses sound really really nice
  3. LukeFRC
    the passive volume, blend and tone pots do make a difference on sound - the values and also the way the taper on the blend work. There is a difference in sound for if you use 500k pots or 250k pots - one will sound a bit brighter, the other a bit darker. Its not hard to imagine that John East picked a slightly brighter sounding set up that would work with humbuckers and single coils - knowing that the passive tone could then correct it if it was too bright. Ibanez have chosen values based on cost and that work with the preamp. John East has been able to design a completely separate passive path and optimise it how he wants. If I gave you two basses, one of which had a slight bit more going on in the top end, it's not surprising it would sound better!

    Blue icing on a carrot cake someone baked for us after baby came (it’s a girl, the colour didn’t mean anything)

    Hey it’s your thread so sure. Thanks for the answer to my question
  6. LukeFRC
    Q: What was the last blue coloured thing you ate?
  7. LukeFRC
    Used... will kinda hold it's value. I think it's rare to see increases in value and normally it's luck more than planned purchasing! It also depends what you are after... best value for money and workhorse bass for £700 Yamaha BB of some kind... otherwise have a look in the marketplace and see what's out there and looks interesting

    and therein starts your next bass... nice flamingo too

    we had our baby so risk levels down and I'm about to go back on the rota again! Only Covid risk free space for three ppl in the band so will be interesting as normally it's just acoustic and two singers. The temptation will be to play my my HX stomp and add a load of effects to what I'm doing, that and plus I'm going to presume that most people are listening at home on devices that aren't doing any bottom end anyway... - anybody got any ideas of what I could do tone wise that would be fun?

    I could be wrong! This bass looks lovely and went googling to find out what the Bart 9W5 and 9W4 pickups were, apparently Bartolini humbuckers with a coil per string... so five coils per pickup....Roger decribes them as linear hum buckers... I dunno, could be wrong. but low output so the black box is a bartolini booster before the Sadowsky preamp on the PCB https://www.talkbass.com/threads/club-sadowsky.390234/page-81#post-5800314 I don't know what that all means in practice but would love to try this one to find out!

    Think the pickups are a coil per string.
  12. LukeFRC
    surprised this hasn't gone!

    I second what this man says
  14. LukeFRC
    That one doesn’t have coated ebony either - is that a third fretless you need
  15. LukeFRC
    I’m tempted and I can’t play fretless! I love the look of it!
  16. LukeFRC
    I just looked that up - a very understated bass that precision!
  17. LukeFRC
    Woah there’s a little mini version of your profile pic hiding in that photo
  18. LukeFRC
    What’s the dream?
  19. LukeFRC
    That was my initial thought too - if they shipped with everything slack
  20. LukeFRC
    Did the truss not work, or more it was shipped completely unsetup?
  21. LukeFRC
    are they active or passive EMG in Betsy?
  22. LukeFRC
    your colour @warwickhunt!
  23. LukeFRC
