    I have the MM4.2 in a passive jazz bass. Sounds great passive!

    Hi, i have a squier jazz with fretless neck and a Nordstrand musicman pickup between the jazz pickups. The bridge jazz pickup is disconnected and the mm pickup connected to its volume pot. Would you be able to do a VBT loom with a selector switch for the bridge pickup? cheers pete

    https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Goeldo-NJFLF-Fretless-Neck-for-4-String-Jazz-Bass-Rosewood-/art-GIT0009714-000 I’m thinking of fitting one of these to my bitsa fretless Jazz as I’d like to go unlined. Has anyone tried one and if so how do you find it? I’m guessing I’ll need to add a route at the neck pocket for truss rod adjustment?

    Yeah, provenance of materials is another one. Hopefully Thomann have it under control 🤞

    That’s unbelievably cheap. Looks fantastic for the price. Can’t help wonder how on earth it can be made for that. I wonder how much is left after Thomann take their cut?

    I bought a set of hipshot HB7s for my fretless neck. I’m actually quite disappointed with them. The action isn’t very smooth and one of them rattles. I wouldn’t buy them again.

    It’s only a bit of fun

    As I’m enjoying my fretless so much I’m learning wherever I lay my hat. Keeping it quiet though.
  15. Waddycall
    Looks lovely. I really like the fretboard dots.
  16. Waddycall
    Can we have a photo of the whole bass please 😁

    Inlays look great. Show us the headstock!

    Not really. I changed everything except the bridge ground wire, jack socket and battery clip. It would probably be possible to use the system with the existing preamp but I’ve no idea how it would work out. I can follow a wiring diagram but without one I’m lost! Edit: actually I think not as you’d need to at least add a blend pot or selector switch as well as the active passive switch. It would be easier to change the preamp as well and wire it up as per the Delano diagram. there are probably easier ways of getting what you want though.

    I felt the same about my Ray34 although I did want to keep the Ray tone too so I put the Delano hybrid pickups and sonar 2 pre amp in.

    Definitely the bass not the amp/lead?

    The ground wire for the cavity shielding is to remove any potential that builds up in the shielding stopping it from preventing noise induced by outside interference. Some bass’s don’t even have that wire. The rest of the bass is still grounded via the pots, bridge ground wire etc. Theres also the theory that the ground connections can electrocute you if you have an amp fault! Some people recommend fusing the ground wire. P.S. I’m on a steep learning curve with guitar electronics myself but would have no safety concerns about leaving that disconnected.
  23. Waddycall
    Can’t see how. It’s there to help the shielding prevent hum/noise that’s all.
  24. Waddycall
    it’s to ground the shielding in the pickup cavity and probably does go to the back of a pot. If you’re not able to solder it back on I’d leave it as it is unless you get issues with noise. You could cut another ground wire and connect it in with that using a screw connector etc but if some of the solder joints aren’t great you might disturb something else in the process.

    An LED and a mini toggle switch to turn it on and off! If you used a double pole switch you could have it as a kill switch with a RED LED as off or green as on!
