    Pickups

    Another thing than pickups and EQ: I found if my amp volume is quite high and I play lightly, it doesn't sound great - no attack and a long sustain. But if the amp is set low and I pluck a lot more firmly, it sounds much more natural - a thump and then quick decay. Related, experiment with changing (increasing) the string height.
  2. I bought a pedalboard from @ordep in an easy transaction, well packaged, and with prompt postage - thanks!
  3. Bass does sound an octave lower than written - but so does guitar. Strictly speaking both instruments should be written with octave clefs, although most often they aren't.
  4. There are lots of wiring diagrams here: http://www.ak-line.com/medium/Bassschaltungen.pdf Is it a Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass with stacked pots?
  5. I bought a bass from Pete. It was packed well, and he sent it out very quickly. Thanks!

  9. Hi, the advert title says "MB58R 121 P" but photos show "MB58R 121 Energy". The Energy is a better cab than the P. https://www.markbass.it/product/mb58r-121-energy/ https://www.markbass.it/product/mb58r-121-p/
  10. Peterson StroboStomp HD tuner Manufacturer: https://www.petersontuners.com/products/strobostomphd/ A great tuner - quick and accurate, different colour display options, and Peterson's (optional) "sweetened" tunings. I have both this larger HD and its smaller sibling the Mini, but I'm downsizing my pedalboard so keeping just the Mini. In the photos, that's a thread of fluff to the left of the footswitch, not a scratch. The rubber on the underside has been removed to assist attaching it to a pedalboard, and afraid I don't have the original box. £95 posted

  12. Squier Vintage Modified fretless jazz neck - spares or repair I picked this neck up recently to make a bitsa, but it became apparent that: The truss rod feels fine and turns in both directions - but doesn't seem to have an affect on the relief. The relief with Fender Nickel Plated Steel .045-.150 strings is 0.25mm. The fingerboard has some unevenness or playing wear, to the extent that a few notes sometimes choke or buzz slightly. It's not awful, but it would be better if it got planed. Higher action helps though - I found it playable enough with action at the 12th fret position of E string 2.5mm, G string 2.25mm. But I think you wouldn't be able to get super low action. Number of fret positions: 20 Radius: 9.5” Material: Ebonol Nut width: 1.5” (38.1mm) Scale length: 34” £50 posted within UK. Now £30 posted.
  13. One thing to consider about getting two 4-ohm cabs is that while they will work fine with your current Yamaha amp head, if you want to change heads in the future you might find that your choice is restricted, since many (most?) heads don't go down to 2 ohms. Another is that while the combination of a 1x15 and a 2x10 is not necessarily wrong, and some people are getting good results - it's also not generally the modern modular approach, which is two identical cabs. While impedance and speaker diameters are quite important, there are other factors. Describing your situation might get useful specific cab recommendations (e.g. living room vs pubs vs functions; jazz duo vs heavy metal nonet; any budget or weight considerations).
