Peter[/quote] Put the springs under all stack pots and that will do the job but make sure you put them the right way up, widest part of the spring at the top bit like an upside down pyramid if you get my drift.

Had a another bass shortly after which i have gigged non stop since. Just got into playing the jazz again, as needed a different sound for some stuff i was doing. The preamp sounds amazing, mega powerful and tons of sounds. But now there is a non stop buzzing in certain set ups... the config is: 3 stacked pots - blend/volume bass/treble mid cut boost/freq then a pull pot - master tone/pull passive The problems seem to centre around the pull pot when the bass is in passive mode its completely silent with the master one all the way down, as you bring up the master tone the buzz gets steadily louder. in active mode, the same really, accept the buzz is so loud theres no way i could gig with it. with the master tone knob all the way up, if you bring the treble control down the buzz goes away. This isn't true of the bass in passive mode though, the buzz remains. and finally, touching the knobs reduces the buzz, sometimes slightly, and sometimes all together. I know this all sounds like grounding issues, and believe me i have hunted low and high for a problem with the Ameter, but cant find anything. i've run extra grounds to the body shielding from the two troublesome pots to know avail. Unfortunately because of the way the pots come (all special and connected with that lovely multiwire papery stuff (no idea what its called) i cant test it with other pots... and its driving me mad cuz if you ignore the buzz the bass sounds class!!! anyone got any ideas? could i need a replacement pot of some sort?[/quote] There is a simple fix for this which John can provide in the form of small springs that fit between the upper and lower knobs to complete continuity and stop the buzzing. john will help you with this don't worry, its a known issue. tap up John he's extremely helpful

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1346673' date='Aug 20 2011, 08:19 PM']I was just thinking about my past history in the experience of learning about the different basses ive had over the years... there are a few i would like to try again to see if they feel as good as i remember.. the Sei had a big impression on me.. as did the SR5.. as did the Ostinato and Fender CS... these basses were a great learning curve.. if you could go back again, with buying basses in mind.. would you make the same choices... For me, i would have the Sei again, The Fender was too heavy, but it was killer.. I just adored the Yamaha.. (i got another one because they are so killer).. the neck on the AV 75 RI was the best i ever played... you can keep all that laquer though.. wouldnt have the 5 string Fender Jazz again... or the Warwick DB... one was floppy, the other was too small.. with your foresight, what bass would you choose.. PS.. if anyone knows who has the Ostinato Jazz bass..please let me know..[/quote] Your Sei, and it would have saved me thousands, believe me........ But then, i am lucky enough to have it
