I guess you mean wenge neck and/or fingerboard as a full wenge instrument would be so heavy... That said, I'm with you concerning tonewood. 😉

So, if I understand it correctly, Mark is using his Jaydees again nowadays, because he doesn't need an apostrophe. Right? Ultra pedant revenge. 😉🫨🤔🤦🏻😂

Following too.

I own a Producer backpack and I can put my HeadRush Core in one pocket and a huge laptop with a big A3 size book (yes A3) in the two inside "pockets" plus a volume control pedal in the side pocket, loads of cables and accessories in the front pocket, a smartphone in the other side pocket, ... so a lot of things. And it's easy to handle or wear on your back.

The original Fender Precision Bass had bakelite or even wood saddles...

I'm waiting patiently for the Apostrophe Police to come...

😂🤪

Mark is using his Jaydee's again nowadays, so check new footage as the quality will be way better. 😉

Happy Birthday @bnt !

Strangely, he was only using the bridge pickup with mids and treble quite high on the bass, and not that much bass there. The amp was quite the same. This allowed him to play slap and fingerstyle during the same "song" without bothering about the EQ.

Indeed, but the idea of Leo Fender was not really moding, but fixing an instrument by changing the problematic part with another faster than fast and not spending time on repair: a typical moto from the post war society and the consumerism.

No problem @Danage, I should have understood that as you mentioned it in your first post.

Did you use an MN taper type for the blend pot? It will be way more progressive than a non MN, and without the typical loss in the middle (indented) position.

That said it's quite funny that it looks like the first iteration of the Precision Bass headstock...

Just like some Mesa Boogie's, called Dual Rectifier for a reason. 😉

I think you are talking about the rectifier tube that could be replaced by a diodes bridge put in a plug-in device. There is one of the brand you mentioned @Dood .

Second option, but more as a line check, which should be more than enough, except if the band is an association of puerile egos...

Indeed... Very interesting photo proving that moding Fender instruments has always been a fact and that you have to be very careful when buying this kind of vintage stuff.

Check page 336, I think that's another very interesting wiring and even if it's in German, the schematics are very clear. Bassschaltungen.pdf

I had a few Pete Skjold basses including a Whaleback like the model shown above and these are excellent basses, not AI generated. The anchoring system was something he tried years ago, but did continue... He is inspired by JP Basses like our own @skelf and even bought the rights to Jean-Philippe Ferreira (the guy behind JP Basses) to continue his work under the Denoncourt series, when JP decided to stop making basses. You can write Pete an email: he always answers.

It was about time as she deserves it more than any other bass player. What a career!

That said, this technique is not really new and Robert Benedetto made two acoustic archtop guitars with similar wood, simply stating that the sound holes were already naturally constructed by the worms. "Il Teredo (Serial #S1416GP) The sound holes are naturally constructed by the Teredo mollusk, also known as the Ship Worm. One of the most unique guitars we've made!"

You can get that weight with non destroyed wood. When you think you've read and seen all, someone is there right the next corner waiting with his bullshìt marketing. Next one will be totally rotten wood falling apart glued with punks' spittings? That said, I'm on the tonewood side, but when stupidity hits the target, all I can do is 🤦🏻

Both techniques for me.
