So it's passive right now, with " high output pickups " I'm wondering whether active is the right way to go with high output pups, since most factory active basses have lower output pups, due to the boost of a preamp Still, wouldnt do any harm i guess. Just turn your current amps EQ down when you first plug in. Personally, i'd leave that gorgeous bass alone.

There's nothing like answering your own questions I'll be doing the same in the K Ohms thread by the look of it !

The body shape sort of reminds me of a Viking weapon

Ooops. That bridge The strap button looks a bit mad, too

That is hilarious !

Pointless observation

Are they not generic size jack sockets, as per bass jacks ?

I've been forced to phone a nurse

I'm going to replace a bridge pickup, and the new pup is 11.3 K ohms which is 3.1 K ohms lower than the neck, which is 14.4 K ohms As far as i'm aware, for obvious reasons, the higher resistance pups tend to be at the bridge position, but in reality, is 3.1 K ohms a small enough difference for it not to matter ? Of course i can lower the neck pup and set the bridge pup as close to the strings before i hit magnet pull. The other option is to swap them round and put the lower K ohm pup at the neck, but this will require more work Hopefully, the small difference means i can get past a volume in-balance by using the pup height adjustment

Really ? Why not try a search

Anyone ever wondered why car manufacturers 95% of the time all follow each other ? See how they're almost all now gearing towards the SUV style ? No one dares be different. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz MB established good products while daring to steer away from the equivalent of Institution Beige ( black ) I've owned MB cabs, and in both yellow and black drivers ( New York 604 - black , New York 2x12 - yellow ) and i always preferred the yellow, because thats their brand. YMMV of course, as it always does with personal taste.

But yellow is this years black

A right f""££$$%!!! barista , by the sound of it

You can't trust them. They'll obviously do this again at some point, as they've shown what their philosophy regarding band etiquette is Announce on Farcebook a week before the gig that you forgot you were having your eyebrows plucked on that date

Way better than me As is this other bassist. Great work /timing from both of them This blue bass has a wonderful tone

Just buy a Rickenbacker. Job done
