Super neat! Nail bitingly close now… -

Yeah that was my thinking too. -

I bought one of these recently, no idea if it’s a standard size or not but worth asking perhaps https://www.geminipickups.co.uk/degenerate-tb -

Hm I don’t like them for some reason. Or stacked pots. I think a slider switch will be quite neat and a cool take on the jaguar style, plus I think Andy has one already -

I’ve previously had it changed to blend and no-load tone which is great. There’s a switch to add though as the thunderbird pickup can be split -

Fantastic news. I didn’t doubt you for a second! Lots of shiny bits on the bass now. Any thoughts re the switch location? -

Little details like this are why I wanted you to work on the bass looks great -

Boss Waza Air Bass - update to v1.30
ped replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in Accessories and Misc
Is anything else different? I find that when I open the app I need to select the transmitter if I haven’t used them in a while (everything connects and works perfectly without opening the app of course) -

Is it going to be a late night? 😂 More info on the pickups here https://www.geminipickups.co.uk/bass The owner was really helpful and I had fun discussing options with him. I also considered Mojo Pickups but their lead time was 40 days at least and frankly they didn’t seem very helpful via email -

Close, in some ways. How are you getting on with that bass btw? -

Sorry Si I missed this comment. Yeah kind of. When searching for inspiration I came across his Musicmaster and like what he’s done with it. I was tempted to copy his stacked vol/tone setup but I like what I’ve got now, balance and no-load tone. And I can keep the original knobs. And for some odd reason I don’t like stacked knobs. It’s my burden to bear. -

I haven’t compared the spacing to a reissue mustang with a j pickup but it looks a bit wider. Remember the PJ reissues have a regular BBOT bridge so it looks closer on mine because it has the proper big bridge. However when looking for new pickups I wanted to keep something right up against the bridge because the hole will need filling anyway and I generally like wider spaced pickups. I can only guess why the original mod was done like that - quite unusual to have cut out the pickup ears in the bridge itself. -

I've decided to have a couple of really interesting pickups added in place of the P/J. Partly because: - Putting an original pickup in will mean a new pick guard (boo) - The J will leave a big hole that'll be impossible to hide; even moving the J pickup might leave an untidy edge so I thought a different pickup to fill that gap which may or may not either fill it or maybe require a bezel would work - The bass has already been modded and will never be 'original' and I don't care about originality much anyway - The bass plays wonderfully and feels amazing, but I could quite easily buy an 'original' if that was the aim - in fact I have a Squire CV Mustang which probably sounds 99% the same as a Fender version (really it's very nicely put together for £300! - The pickups I have chosen are super cool and two pickups in a Mustang sound awesome I'll leave both tug bars if there's room next to the new pickup (which I'll let Andy reveal in good time) - they've been on so long they've stained the pick guard and actually I quite like using them in different ways. -

Boss Waza Air Bass - update to v1.30
ped replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in Accessories and Misc
Hm I haven’t but not sure I’ll bother as I’m unlikely to use the pedal. I was hoping you’d be able to assign whet the two buttons on the right ear cup do instead of them being up/down patches. Maybe next time! -
I’ve spent the last few weeks comparing the Mutron III with the EHX Qtron. I’ve also just bought a Maxon AF9 which has the same controls (and importantly the ‘high range’ setting which I really like) to compare also. I think the MXR M87 is perfectly good enough for a pedal to take out of the house as each of the others are either massive or require a certain power supply or quite valuable. Maybe the Maxon will be the best mix of everything, guess I’ll find out!

Don’t know, really. I saw the ‘how many do you own’ thread and just wondered what we had in total!
