Agreed there is nothing, but what it does mean is that you can make very low impedance pickups (with a very low output), which means that you aren't choking your own frequencies with the pickup, which is what EMGs do. They are active because not only would the noise be an issue, even with 6" of shielded cable, but there would be no point using them without a preamp as the signal would be too small, so might as well put one there. Agreed - active has nothing to do with tone circuits, its just that if you have gone to the trouble of making it active, might as well make a tone circuit. Most of my basses are active, I rarely touch the EQ on the bass. In fact, nowadays that I play on a wireless all the time, there is little point me using an active, as I am already buffered by the wireless, hence most of the time I am using my Ric. -

Interestingly, one of those is wired permanently on, one is added by the tone control -
They only seem to sell roland items, and their vat number is real, so probably real, even if it is a private house. Maybe they just get demo stuff

So why bother next year? Why don't you just slope off to the keyboard players NYE family!

I am not sure if I am following your problem here - you had this preamp working on a jazz bass, and now you want it on a P bass? Do you have a picture of the label on the preamp or an indication of what make it is (like from when you bought it) - the blend doesn't work but obviously some preamps (most?) the blend is before the preamp - the rest of it would be exactly the same as how it was originally installed. You say you want switches - for what?

Is it? Its where I would put it. Probably more a mod issue, they tend to do these things and know better than me!

I bought a piano years ago, smelled very smokey, cleaned it, still smelled, and for years you could hit some random key and get a whiff of smoke!

I am sure they did - anything they could sell! -

Not in a standard musicmaster - one tone, one volume, one tone cap, one pickup, one socket, and thats the lot - built the cheapest it could be. -
Two Identical Amps - One With Distorted Output
Woodinblack replied to aniki's topic in Repairs and Technical
If they are pure tube outputs with a 8Ω and 4Ω output, and it is ok on one but not the other, then the only thing that can be wrong is the transformer or the socket for the 4Ω connector as there is nothing else, unless there is a problem with the speaker, or the loading is wrong (ie, not a 4Ω speaker), but I assume you tried that with the other one. -
It Was 20 Years Ago Today ... Revisited
Woodinblack replied to Happy Jack's topic in General Discussion
Yeh, my first bass I got when I was 15 so 45 years too. Definitely going to learn it one day! -
Just because something is all hype doesn't mean it won't actually be useful to you!

Pah, speak for your own band
