The Quilter Bass Block 800 or 802 has the switch on the front...

And Antonio Stradivari died in 1737... Read Savart mémoire, there are plenty of modern theories in it that have only been applied recently, like Christophe Leduc's free floating top and Christophe is an architect before being a luthier, so if you want to discuss about the fact that electric instruments are before all acoustic instruments, just ask him. He has done intensive research and work about this. Strangely, his instruments are almost the only ones were you can hear the fundamental of each and every note down to a low B... And no, you can't hear the fundamental of a Fodera low B. Sorry.

Try this : Mémoire sur la Construction des Instruments à Cordes et à Archet suivi du Rapport qui en a été fait aux deux Académies des Sciences et des Beaux-Arts. SAVART (Félix).

Yes, it's again easy to explain, a softer wood will have a tendency to absorb the vibration, when a harder one will tend to increase it. Could you stop non sense, please.

This is the best way to break a truss rod when you don't know what you're doing.

You are a lefty, so it might not work with your explanations, even if they are right when one knows the left handed fact. In fact, you have to first release the tension of the strings by lowering them at least a whole tone. Then you have to screw the truss rod with whatever gets in the holes (this was meant to be used with the buckle of a belt), so turn clockwise as we say. It's an American made bass, so it doesn't have a typical British anti-clockwise thread. 😉 Proceed by 1/4 turn and retune, check and start again until you have the neck relief you want. If it's going the opposite way, go the opposite way too, so unscrew.

Simple and effective answer : the way a string vibrates, and therefore is sensed by the pickup(s), is directly linked to the construction of the instrument. No need to argue more.

Because people like Robert Benedetto who has crafted a excellent sounding acoustic jazz guitar out of pine wood with knots everywhere or Ignacio Fleta who was able to build a terrific sounding classical guitar out of almost anything are highly skilled luthiers is obviously the forgotten key to succeeding in this task. Remember that an electric instrument is before all an acoustic instrument. A badly sounding unplugged instrument will be a badly sounding plugged instrument whatever pickups or preamp you put in. If you can't hear the fundamental of a note and its harmonics when playing unplugged, put the instrument to the bin...

The Glockenklang has a double function (and double pot too) treble pot that works also as a real passive tone in passive mode. The Audere preamps are excellent too, certainly the most transparent ones you will find but a bit harder to buy (USA only). That said, you could also use the remaining hole for this this :

The Glockenklang 3 bands preamp is a perfect match for the Nordstrand pickups. Use the switch as a kill switch.

Dooh, I misread it, I thought it was Hate us on Trustpilot...

Told you. 😉

Don't worry, it will. 😉

It won't, I can guarantee it. The magnetic field will catch the metal string "interferences" without any problem.

Floating around...

And then there is the dedicated Bass mode that nobody seems to know. Yes, I always read the manual.

I thought it was designed for Venetian Watery Djazz.
