Historic statement refering to Epiphone slogan before they were bought by Gibson.

Try to find a Boss Chorus CE-2 which is very close to the JAM Pedals Waterfall (for bass as there's also a guitar version). As said before, to me the Waterfall is the best chorus pedal to date. By the way, where do you place it in your signal chain ?

Boss OC-5 : When asap is not asap. 🤣

It depends on the soundbar, mine is as long as my (old) plasma 50" screen... And has two wireless satellites and a quite big wireless subwoofer. 😱

Salmon pink with a tortoise pickguard-scratchplate and cream cover pickups. That's how my next assembly will be. Looks really good just pre-fitted. Need to start working on it.

Because the lower strings will be too thick to turn around the tuner without breaking (basic physics). You'll also have to remove some winding if you want the strings to fit in the tuner post(s). It's a more than known fact by the strings manufacturers (hence the thinner tuner end string) and those who tried to put long scale strings on a (very) short scale bass.

Bought some preamps from Giacomo. Ultra fast shipping in sound and safe packing. Another credit to BassChat. A+++++++ as they elsewhere.

The lower ones (B and E and maybe A) will break at the tuner, Russ.

Did you see the photo of a naked Wal pickup a bit above ? It coud be used as a hex pickup if each and every coil was completely separated, buffered and self treated, which is not the case as it's a classic humbucker, not designed as a hexaphonic pickup. Please wake up, there is nothing magical or mysterious about Wal... Sorry to ruin your myth.

Yes, Peavey did buy the same Midi system. You can still buy it in Australia here as it's still Steve Chick property : https://industrialradio.com.au/

Here's a photo of the guts of a Wall pickup : Nothing really amazing : 8 coils wired in parallel and series.

They do. This is becoming a kind of non sense thread with truckloads of TB like posts.

Try typing "Joe Dart + Music Man" in You Tube... Passive sound without any tone control on his Music Man. 😉 That said, he has the same sound with his Jazz Bass. Who said that the tone is not in the fingers ? 🤣

I owned some Wal's and even a 4 strings fretless MKI in the early 90's that I bought back twice as I loved the totally unfaithful and unclear sound coming out of this bass. The Wal has a unique sound that you like or hate, but it's certainly not a clear one thanks to the pickup(s), but can be tweaked so much through the filters based preamp that you might think it's clear. And to add some fun to this, it can become a real nightmare live or in the studio if you or somebody touches the knobs by accident. To get back to clarity and sound as a Wal pickup is a humbucker it senses the string at two different points, hence creating some phase cancellation, so absolutely not a clear sound. Furthermore, there's some crosstalk between strings as the mini humbuckers per string are then wired in parallel at the output, so the other strings magnets do sense the adjacent(s) string(s). An Alembic or a Leduc with the dummy coil and full single coils pickups has a real clear, precise and defined sound. And if you like the filters based preamp then go for an Alembic. It will be clear, with the less possible crosstalk thanks to the low power magnets used in the single coils pickups. I do love both sounds, but they are, strictly speaking, totally opposite and mismatched a lot according to what I'm reading here. Clarity and absence of crosstalk also come from your playing technique and your ability to mute the unplayed strings...

Escalope à la viennoise, my dear !

And the now rarer than rare EBS Pre or Leduc EL-5 (the EL-10 being a twin EL-5).

Too bad, it's upsidedown. 🤣

And that it's been rewired differently so many times that even Lemmy didn't remember how it was wired. 😉 Full on and rock'n'roll.
