    It SimS to be a pickup. 😎 I'll get my coat.
  2. Hellzero
    Put them in a pool of mineral oil... 😎
  3. Hellzero
    Good news that you're keeping it, Ville. 🙂

    New adjustable ramp including the pickups, called Octavio by Christophe LEDUC, some 22 years ago...

    There's some bass appeal in this design, Harry. Congratulations, it looks even more beautiful now that it's finished. Waiting for the soundclips now. 😉

    May we team together against those less than 6 strings villains ?
  7. Hellzero
    That's utterly flipping stunning gorgeous !

    Sounds like one half of your P pickup is out of phase with the other. Try reversing the two wires of the bass side half.

    Another vote for the ToneRider set, amazing pickups, as good as Fender Custom Shop or any PJ boutique pickups. It's not because they are cheap that they are crap, in fact it's the opposite, other conventional pickups, and PJ's are the epitome of conventional pickups, are just way too expensive.

    The impossibility to advertise it here in case you'd want to sell it. And buy a fake one, they are better than the originals. 🤣

    What I see on this photo is clearly some real bad work done by a self called luthier. The previous frets have been removed without any care, resulting in very tiny smalls cracks in the wood along the frets slots and then refretted without taking care correctly of these usual very tiny small cracks. So what we see here is just these non corrected defaults that have taken the filth and humidity. Keep on oiling or even waxing your naked wood, and only naked woods. And if your luthier is telling you the above mentioned bullsh*t, change for a qualified one.

    Play fretless : problem solved !

    And vihuelas were the Spanish vision of the Italian lute, which itself was the fretted iteration of the Arabian oud, still played today, and which eventually seems to be the original ancestor of all our Occidental plucked and bowed instruments.

    Not on a Status or typical reversed working British truss rod... Always check first. 😉

    There is also the "new" EBS MicroBass 3, which has a twin channel (clean and drive) that can also be blended... All you need to know is here : https://ebssweden.com/content2/effects/ebs-microbass-3-professional-outboard-preamp/

    The Empress Heavy is the closest to your needs... but not exactly. Check this video at 3:42 : Maybe it can give you some ideas, otherwise there are a few twin channel freely assignable outputs preamps on the market, like the MarkBass Stereo Ground Pre (not made anymore), the BassLab StepAbout (still available, but expensive) and the FishTrick Trilobite (quite recent and "twin" Mike Pope FlexCore preamps). I had the three of them and the most transparent is the BassLab StepAbout (twin Richter BassXX preamps) that I still have.

    Good news for the headstock as the grain of the wengé is just superb !

    On stage at loud level, yes. In a studio environment at low to normal level, it's just impossible to use as it's way too noisy, but, that said, it's a really simple and good sounding amp, for sure. Can't you hear the massive air flow ? That said, it's a major problem with almost all fan cooled amps, except the AER and Glockenklang amps, which have dead quiet fan air cooling.
  19. Hellzero
    Basic question that might seem stupid : Did you put the switch to the bridge position ? And yes, it's a standard Speakon speaker cable. I had one for a day and send it back as I could not stand those hugely noisy fans, it was like having a wind turbine nearby !

    Rotosound have brass balls and straight silk following the wrapping especially on ball end and are more blue than turquoise : Alembic have chrome balls and more thick silk and really turquoise : So definitely Alembic CX-3 as shown on the two above photos taken right now with a correct colour balance. These are nickel strings with pressure wound technology that makes them feel softer to the touch and pliant as you said @MoJo. They also have a tendency to rust very quickly without affecting the tone, which is quite balanced : really good strings.
  21. Hellzero
    Alembic CX-3.

    I don't patronise patronising patrons !

    It's a photo, Russ, so unclickable...

    There's also one 1988 Vigier Passion in Belgium at a slim price : https://www.2ememain.be/a/musique-instruments/instruments-a-corde-guitares-basses/m1680224756-te-koop-basgitaar-vigier-passion-bass.html?previousPage=lr

    Worth looking at Zikinf, it's the place where to seek for French made musical instruments : https://www.zikinf.com/annonces/search/?q=vigier&rub=17&sb=p&so=a
