Thanks for that darkandrew. Perfect explanation.

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1482349157' post='3199842'] What do you mean by active pickups / passive pots? do you mean the pickups are powered and the wiring is just like an ordinary passive circuit? That is just the same as if you replaced the pickups in any other passive bass, you get the advantage of the lower impedance and noise reduction. If that is factory fitted I assume they have a model without the active pickups. [/quote] That's exactly what I mean. Pickups are connected to 9V battery,passive Vol,Tone & Blend. This was the only version of the model. Manual tells you very little, just says clockwise for more treble/anticlockwise for more bass. I'm not complaining as I prefer it to the earlier Sarzo bass with it's 3 Band EQ and trimpots.

Can anyone shed light on active pickup/passive pots ? My recent Peavey RSB has them but I'm stumped for reason.

Congratulations Deedee. Glad to hear you picked the right bass.

Scam pages got through uBlock So I checked the request log. Think this is the culprit.

My trouble is unrelated to photobucket. Basschat experience goes like this. Open homepage - all good Spot I've some notifications so click to see them - new page opens with bingo,money scam or microsoft virus scam. Go to read comments in status updates - see above. Click on the latest post in any of the sections - See above Happens at least once every time I BC. AdBlock is running,Windows Defender is up to date and finds nothing, Malaware finds nothing. Cookies and history were cleared. Tried using IE instead of Chrome but it still happens. You must have posted while I was typing Paul.I'll try uBlock. Cheers

Great album,not every tune was brilliant but enough were to make it great. Pinched my copy from Woolies.

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1482100843' post='3197701'] So in order to get the rhythm from tab you also have to be able to read the rhythmic component of standard notation anyway! Or figure it out from listening to the record, presumably.... [/quote] Learn the patterns with Tab,get the groove from the record. Reckon that's the way most of us do it.

Saw that Ultimate Drive video last night. The pedal was ordered about 20 minutes later

Instead of changing the bridge,the OP could just fit longer screws and springs. Never saw a bridge yet that didn't have at least 6mm travel before the saddle dropped of the base plate.

I thought we were just to agree with the OP that he'd got terrible service and list the thousands of times Thomann has shafted us. Oh and follow it up with a pledge of support to never buy from them again.

It's doing grand It's black and maple too !!

Excellent basses those Foundations. Got a couple of those myself.

Obviously I'm a crazy person but if you're a crazy person who like basses Peavey was a good choice. They did P style basses,J style,PJ s. Active & passive, bolt on & thru neck, carbon necks,pretty natural finishes and block colour. Even did the MIDI bass after Wal gave up on it. Something for everyone and cause they were never "The Brand" very affordable. Made sense to me but then I'm nuts

39 Peavey basses. Only on 1 I had bother with the neck. No pots failing or strap locks coming loose. I'd say quality was good.

Don't think the Ginger Tom would take kindly to the huge crowds

Yesterday's post wasn't really meant to happen. The Void was just an impulse buy,turned out fine but still just an impulse buy This one I've been waiting on for a while and they don't come up too often. Strange beast the RSB bass,stands for Rudy Sarzo Bass but unlike the earlier Sarzo sig model Rudy had nothing to do with it's design. They came in 2 flavours :- solid colour poplar body with all maple neck and Koa body, maple and Pau Ferro neck. Electronics have thrown me a bit,it's active VFL humbuckers but passive tone pot !! Seems a strange arrangement and I'll have to look in the control cavity later. It's quite light and has the quality Peavey neck I take for granted,easy access to the "No Go Zone" around the 24th. Also looks bloody good with the natural finish I also have the earlier Sarzo bass,now it's a quality bass no doubt about that. Feels great to play,looks great. Loads of folks say how great they are. You get the picture. Buggered if I can find a tone on it to suit me This on the other hand gave me no trouble [attachment=234056:RSB bass.jpg] Looking good for a 22 year old bass.

Cracking bit of kit. All the sitting about yesterday just waiting must have been murder. Congrats on getting your dream bass.

Why do some folk say " tools of the trade,if it's not getting used it gets sold" ? In 30 odd year as a carpenter can't say I've ever sold any tools.Still have my "Yankee",at least 20 year since I used it but still got it just in case.

[quote name='grayn' timestamp='1481803838' post='3195264'] Cool bass, congrats. Amazing there's no neck dive, with that shape. Well done Peavey. [/quote] By all rights it should dive like a diving thing.The usual cause like a large headstock is present and no upper horn extending to near the 12th fret !! Aye it's a puzzler ? No that I'm complaining mind

I'll admit to never giving these much thought,surprising since I have almost every Peavey model. They're aimed at the "Metal " crowd and that's not really me This Void had been on eBay for a while,actually thought it had went last week. I've a feeling it's come from the auction when Peavey UK closed it's doors and was either a QC fail or a return. It was missing the bridge pickup and control cavity cover. At £50 I'd hit "Buy it Now" before I realised it My Hermes have managed to snap the tip from one of the headstock horns but that's the extent of any damage. Good news was I had a spare pickup that fitted so 40 minutes after unpacking it was playing grand. Spec is maple thru neck with basswood wings so it's very light. 42mm nut and 12" radius rosewood board. I'd have thought they'd have went for 24 frets but it's 21 instead. Same 3 band EQ electronics as the Cirrus,handy if it'd turned out a dud as there's no Cirrus preamps left at Peavey spares dept. That should change if the Cirrus reissue ever happens. Only had half hour with it today and all seems well. Another surprise is the lack of neck dive, could be 3" strap I use but it hangs nicely. For £70 delivered I think I did rather well [attachment=234002:VOID PXD.jpg]

Had some laptop memory in the recycle bit. It fitted Ian's machine and his local dog shelter got some grub. Fantastic If that's not enough to convince you of his bona fides just remember he owns a T40 as well as a Bass Collection. Obviously a man of great character .

Ah. It's a completely different shape the one I have.

How does the Concord II differ from Concord I ? Certain there's a broken one from a Concord I around here some place. Happy to supply you a tracing or .dxf file of it. Anybody with access to a laser cutter could sort one out from the file.
