my old fashioned single pup SR5 for sale or maybe a swop hope this link will give you some idea of what it looks like cheers [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39305"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=39305[/url]

most fenders come under the scruting of the upgrading market yam's dont so you may want to replace that bridge, pups, and or electrics the fender jazz is the most versatile being able to take a retro package for onboard eq as for price...could be a two way street and hold price for resale

onboard you are stuck with it and need batteries so unplugging the cable is a must when not playing to avoid battery drain you need space routed for the gizmo ++ is you can adjust eq for each part of a song right on the bass offboard you can change the item and use mains or phantom power - - is you need to set your requirements at the unit...which can be close enough to step over and adjust personally i would say the offboard is more versatile as it can embody a graphic

scale study...timing...and thought processes built on listening recall of blues recordings the mood needs to be understood

jazz is the modern equivalent of the contrapuntal theme theory mozart played it and was the world's first jazz pianist...erm..harpsichordist it embodies feel and mood linked to strong underpinning modal progression without restraint in christian music it is explained as playing in the spirit...a good nomen

[quote name='LWTAIT' post='393996' date='Jan 28 2009, 08:00 PM']really? i prefer the way a jazz looks with a precision neck.[/quote] why would leo change the neck on his next model of bass...if the P neck was suitable its a piece of wood which the player feels comfortable and at ease playing so leo splits the split and gets the jazz pup configuration designs the body shape to amplify a popular guitar shape and resizes the neck ...i guess to give better movement and feel it is possible to have a precision body and neck and have jazz pups in it??? likewise jazz/jazz with a P pup i think these things are so minor to make real difference ie if you like a jazz neck...put it on anything..equally a P neck

i think wood is best..more organic and matching to the body arent graphite necks a bit cold in tone

yamaha anyone..??

[quote name='Mottlefeeder' post='393170' date='Jan 27 2009, 09:07 PM']I asked about this on another forum (Talkbass?) and the answer I got was that pick-ups are designed to feed into some specified resistance and capacitance. If you take that out completely, you will hear a more peaky, resonant sound from the pick-up, because you have taken the damping out of the circuit. Think of a hi-fi speaker with the wadding taken out. Some hi-end retrofit preamps have selectable input impedances for that reason.[/quote] brilliant explanation...makes sense to me...same with engines..you need back pressure to get correct performance

[quote name='Ant' post='378401' date='Jan 12 2009, 10:48 PM']today at practice i noticed my jazz was sounding closer to the precision sound so i had a fiddle with the knobs, the bridge pickup was really really quiet when soloed whilst it used to be the same volume as the neck pickup. aout 3 hours into the practice the bridge pickup was back to normal. loose connection? only im recording on saturday and dont have time and/or money to take it in anywhere!![/quote] is it passive and do you use the tone control when the jazz is used with both pups and one of the vols slightly down in vol with tone as well the tone acts as a volume reducing pot as well i got over this by using a pan pot and wiring the tone direct off the live pin on the pan pot if it happens again check if your volumes are full on...i cant explain it electronically but witnessed it on my own jazz pup set up the best way to wire two pups with individual vols is individual tones..just like rickenbacker

[quote name='~tl' post='386493' date='Jan 20 2009, 06:11 PM']I wouldn't bother personally. Just make sure the back of the pots are earthed and the plate should get a connection through the pot shafts. That's how mine is done...[/quote] and mine...the plate acts as a secondary bus make sure there are star washers between the pot and the plate to 'bite' into the metal

i used a DC45 and remember that the little pins on the bottom could hit the body of the bass if the rout wasnt deep enough also dont they use a clip on wire...is that connecting ok

every bass i have had used 250K pots and 0.047 caps i have experimented with 0.02 and up..or down..to 0.100 the basses were rickenbacker manson fender eventually i found passive tone cut not a good option and so the cap became redundant using eq offboard either on the bddi or the combo

[quote name='Delberthot' post='390473' date='Jan 24 2009, 04:01 PM']I've tried this before but misunderstood what sound I'd be getting - ie the equivelant position of the tone control. I play with my volume up full and my tone control all the way round on my Warmoth- effectively rolling off all the bass. Is there a way to connect directly to a jack but have the sound exactly like this? There must be a way of wiring in a cap somewhere to achieve this sound. I'm far from being an electronics whizz so any help would be appreciated. Its in pieces right now while I paint the headstock so I have plenty of time[/quote] your tone rolls off treble not bass..if its a passive capacitor... so if you want full treble then you dont need a cap..just wire to the jack if you need tone cut and arent sure how much start off with an 0.025 or so and work up to 0.100 0.047 is standard.. when you get the tone you want solder that capacitor across the jack terminals live to earth it all sounds a bit....erm tricky...there is no reason really to do all this just wire the vol pot with a jumper and likewise the tone pot then you can revert easily back to the 'normal' way we play... by snipping the jumber lead hope i understood your question ok cheers
