I had ordered one too (not entirely sure why, but thought it would be good as a drop D thing for a new group), but it was shown as out of stock, to be sent on the 2nd January, but now it has been delayed by 3 weeks. I am not actually that bothered, quite happy to wait if it does turn up!

OK, I got the WX52- and I have been pretty impressed with it, tried it tonight in a practice, really good sound quality and a solid build. -
I have a fender one and it has been good, which is a surprise as every other fender cable I have had has been junk. Maybe it was a lucky accident.

Yes, but in a passive system, changing the volume does actually change the EQ, not just the perception of it.
-
Not low-z like the EMGs are though. obviously the main issue with those isn't noise, the main issue is that they would just be completely useless without a preamp / buffer, so why bother having an external preamp.

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!

£69? He was done!

I was and find it anything but!

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!
