In this video, he uses a precision, probably a fender, but what im most interested in is how the amber tint next to the frets got there. I think it looks dam cool, but have never seen anything else like it.

Looks like it. It was actually on a shops website as their 5'er with maple neck. I dont think they know their audience

Bot exactly ugly, but looks at it closely.

Doesnt matter, i got it working using this bit of information [url="http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/pickupwiring.htm"]http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/pickupwiring.htm[/url] Sounds awesome now.

Yeah, my experimentation didnt reveal anything. I hate it when this happens, and it happens a lot.

Ive got an MEC 2 coil, thunderbird type pickup. Because i would like to coil switch, i require the colour codes for the wires. I have a red, black, white, and green wire for the 2 coils. Any help is appreciated.

Ah. I dont suppose you have some literature i could peruse regarding the matter, or is this something you've gleaned from years of experience?

Im just wondering because they sell them for a couple hundred each, and some of the rockbass's arent that expensive. So anyone?

You thinking of doing the lower bout-y bit?

Personally, i dont like the lower bout on that one, however, it looks like that one is of a bass someone tried to shape alembic style. So id personally go for this shape And you should be alright. To MAKE my bass, from a blank bit of wood, all i used was: Jigsaw Files (rasps, about £3) Sandpaper. So i think you should be alright.

Speaking of mazeti, and not to derail, but i owned one of their double necks 5/7 Anyone got any more info on them? I sent a few emails to one of the guys, but that was a few years ago.

[quote name='dr Szelma' timestamp='1316791257' post='1383009'] my friend says "I can't afford buying cheap stuff" and 9/10 he's right. If you want cheap but decent ones, try Wilkinson (Vintage basses are armoured with them) [/quote] Id probably go for wilkinsons. I have 2 J types in my vintage jazz, and they sound darn good. Also a soapbar in another bass, also sounds dang good. Saying that, i bought a P,J,MM each off ebay, and stuck them all in one bass. They have some good sounds TBH.

i was going to suggest the above. It seemed to solve a very similar problem on another forum.

anyone?

Looks great, but is there some way of making topics you've posted in more visible than a little star?

I have in my possession 2 bass preamps that i have acquired. However, my technical knowledge with regards to preamps is minimal. Passive im fine, but once the signal gets to the board, i cant figure it. So im wondering if anyone here knows of a place i can send them to get checked out/fixed. One is a westone thunder 1a preamp i got from here, and a washburn preamp i got in a bass a few years ago. I would be most appreciative if anyone here could point me in the right direction. Thanks. Also, have a nice, slightly on topic picture for reading this

It can be a good idea as it does allow you a greater range of sounds. With regards to reversibility, if you use a push/pull pot, it is entirely reversible. If you do it yourself, theres no real way you could damage the pickup, unless you left the soldering iron lying on it for a while. To protect the finish, cover everything that isnt what you are soldering with newspaper. If you want someone else, i dont know of anyone in Edinburgh. Just use this wiring diagram for the wiring of the humbucker if you want to have a go.

I have in fact, from this thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=154922"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=154922[/url]
