    Why not go back to the bog standard squier pickup, put a bit of copper shielding in the cavities, tie it to earth and avoid tvs and florescent tubes?

    By Midi Input, do you mean GK13 output, or is it midi controllable? Wouldn't normally ask but on a bass like that, maybe! Also with the GK13, as it only has 6 outputs, is it modified or are there just 6 strings connected, if so, which 6?

    I have used an X18 mixer for our band for the past 4 years, before that an XR16. The other day a friend asked me to do the sound for their gig, so I went along and they had a manual mixer. It was really hard getting round the limitations of it going back, I certainly wouldn't want to do that for myself!

    So that is what you were saying before - when in series, C2 is parallel with the bottom coil, making a tuned circuit giving you a big boost at a certain frequency, the certain frequency depending on what the inductance of the coil is, I am guessing from the sound demos some mid range frequency.

    Will be there, obvs!

    And to save people the problem of searching for it, it is here!

    I think if he wanted to go for it he would have done so 9 years ago when this was posted!

    hahah - I would never keep a sticker on anything, but would find it very difficult to get upset what someone else did on their own bass!

    They are mormons though aren't they? Not that I am saying you shouldn't burn your Osmonds records anyway (apart from of course Crazy horses)

    The spalted one with the EMGs? Oh you wont regret that one at all, I found it really comfortable to play at the bash but sitting in a chair at home it is even better. I will gig this the next time we gig, it sounds a lot bigger than it looks.

    Maybe he was never paid enough for new strings?

    What is the problem you have with the preamp now that you are trying to fix? The preamp in the EHB seems fine to me, other than it being the other way round to my john east in my shuker. And if all you want is a treble cut you could just wire up a tone control and just have the preamp flat?

    On Sunday I took a trip down to what is becoming for me, a standard bass trading place, which is IKEA (in Bristol this time, rather than Exeter as it was last time). This was to meet up and pickup this bass that I had played at the South West bass show, one of @Jabba_the_guts fantastic little basses. Fell in love with these things a few bass bashes ago and finally have one. I am sure most people have seen them unless they don't go into the makers threads, or the short scale thread where I posted it, and if not, there is a link at the bottom of its birth, as well as some much better pictures! This is so fun to play and also easy to use in the house as they are so small (27" scale). It sounds very full and bassy, with single / parallel series switch. And of course LEDs, with two options, very bright or OMG I think i have gone blind Heres the other pictures of it, and its creation thread.

    The optimal size is long as they need to be and as short as you can get away with. Luckily with XLRs you can chain them anyway - I have some 20M speaker ones, but a whole load of other cables that are shorter, and if I am closer to the speakers, I will use the shortest that I can. Not necessarily for electrical reasons, although that helps, more for lack of trip hazzard reasons!

    There are people who do both loud stage and acoustic setups, and I have heard that there are people that only have one amp, seems not so useful if they have to buy another amp just for the quieter use if it is avoidable. My TC450 I could use on stage and in my bedroom, I know that is different as it is a class D, but it would be good if the ABM600 was like that.

    This specific bass was at the last SW bass bash, which is where I tried it
  18. Woodinblack
    Presumably you changed the strings since though?
  19. Woodinblack
    pretty fancy, i always wanted LEDs!

    The corner of the living room is now complete!

    picked up a rather nice short scale bass today. I doubt anyone has heard of the creator of them, but have been looking forward to this for a bit!

    Now sold, sorry to everyone else interested. Turns out, sell something fender shaped and everyone wants one! Black Aerodyne Jazz bass, Japanese 2013, plays fine but i am just not using it. Always wanted one of these but every time I forget how little I play a 4 string bass. So need to move it on. nothing I really want as a trade but if you have anything don't be afraid to ask, even though it would be more than likely to be no. Currently I don't have shipping materials, so would prefer a local ish (50 miles or so) meet up to trade, but at some point I would probably get something

    Sounds very much like something is loose / intermittant, maybe as it heats up something expands and disconnects. Always tricky to find. Its true it would be uneconomical to fix but I am sure someon who wants to fix it for themselves could get it and fix it rather than just binning it. Obviously doesn't help you but better to re recycle if possible!

    Bought a white couch strap, excelent delivery speed, thanks. Now just need to buy a white bass!

    I must admit I need to spend some quality time fiddling around with the buttons to make sure that my understand is the same as the buttons understanding of what they do!
