I would echo your experiences - I often favour my Precision Deluxe for tracking (predecessor to the Elite; same electronics AFAIK but without the flattening neck profile and MM-style truss rod). Covers a lot of ground between the P and J, and that's in passive mode only. I have a sneaky feeling that the 3 band preamp is voiced a little bit like a Musicman preamp 3 band... at any case, it can also do a passable Stingray imitation via the treble / bass boosts if you pan more towards the bridge pickup. Glad recording went well!

looks amazing. does make me think of melted chocolate... yum!

stunning. literally no words!

nice one!

stunning!

For all those times you want to be in tune ;-)

nice guy and quick comms. deal with confidence

The volume pots don't look right to me in the diagram above. If you look at this diagram, you'll see the hot wire from each pickup coming to the central lug, with the outer left lug connected in series [url="https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=two+volume+pot+wiring+jazz+bass&client=safari&rls=en&dcr=0&tbm=isch&imgil=JyNTy6Nixp8QFM%253A%253Bqa1Yhxmy6uQDfM%253Bhttps%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.talkbass.com%25252Fthreads%25252Fjazz-bass-blend-pot-wiring-help.509762%25252F&source=iu&pf=m&fir=JyNTy6Nixp8QFM%253A%252Cqa1Yhxmy6uQDfM%252C_&usg=__cmVYgOWHWlGjmruAUyZzZ6GGjBM%3D&biw=1440&bih=1019&ved=0ahUKEwi6k_SE7MTWAhUMD8AKHfFdCZUQyjcIMw&ei=WlPLWbr-E4yegAbxu6WoCQ#imgrc=8mY8YTIR4qUfsM:"]two volume pot wiring jazz bass[/url] I would try moving the white wire from the preamp onto the same to the left lug if that makes sense.

I take it you've checked Audio / Midi setup on the mac, to check software outputs are correctly routed to the interface and not the built in speakers? Failing that driver reinstall should hopefully do the trick (I don't use focusrite so can't give more specific advice unfortunately).

I'd start with thinking about these 3 areas: 1) basstraps - corners and where wall meets ceiling behind speakers 2) absorbers - to kill first order reflections from speakers - i.e. ceiling above, and to the sides (think of it as a mirror) 3) some sort of diffuser behind you - bookshelf with randomly stacked books is acceptable as a real world compromise.... other than that, aim for symmetry between walls, and ideally sitting at around the 38% mark of the room.... don't be afraid to experiment with speaker positioning too, especially if they are rear-ported. sub-woofer set up is a whole new area too.... good luck!

Some fenders do indeed suffer from poor shielding. easy fix if it bothers you though! Top looking axe btw

that's terrible, will keep a look out. I'm sure that's obvious, but would be worth checking all local pawnshops + gumtree + ebay...
