  1. Schecter Baron H dUg pinnick signature bass is volume only as an example. I have a bass I made with a Creamery 58 pick up (the pick up is amazing), which was wired with a Tonestyler Bass Ten. Took the tonestyler our for another project, now it’s volume only-it’s still bloody brilliant, probably won’t bother with a tone knob at all now
  2. Sounds like a shim is the way forward. StewMac have ready made shims on their websites that cost peanuts
  3. Tonestyler does a 6 as well, for single or 2 pick up basses i have routed my jazz for Rickenbacker pick ups and a. Tonestyler tele jazz control plate
  4. The weird hole on the neck bolt is just for using ferrules instead of a plate to hold the neck joint in. Easy to complete the job with a Firsch Forstner bit on the other 3 holes, or just cover with the plate
  5. Mild progress - Pickguard Aged a dash, just need to measure bridge placement etc but nearing completion.....
  6. This is truly a thing of joy - GLWTS
  7. Good chat you are right, fine pick ups and pre-amp

    Geddy Lee pedal

    Ripper is massively different to Geddy
  9. I think all’s well that ends well, I certainly don’t feel any bad blood has been spilt. Conversely this coming out in public has probably helped your sale, now a bigger audience know of the rarity rather than 1 or 2 on a PM. GLWTS
  10. Never professed to be a self called expert, I asked a question, was duly educated, as were many others - where is the problem in that? No harm done, no foul play called
  11. Are you sure this is an original 83 JV squire bass........ The decal on the headstock is wrong for this, the neck doesn’t look quite right for the period and the serial number is quite high for an 83
  12. Tell you what, you have picked a very niche question, which prolly won’t elicit many responses! A good thing would be to look at the tone profiles of each pick up, Seymour Duncan do that nicely on their website as it will tell you how toward they are in each band. The DG tone capsule as you know gives a low, low mid and upper mid push, less the treble (although there may be some crossover). I know you are playing stoner rock, but you may want to consider a more treble forward pick up just to keep that bite as you will be controlling that frequency less if that makes sense. I’ll throw something else in there with the Sandberg black label pick ups. Them and the DG tone capsule are in the Grand dark bass (although that is a JM configuration), by if you can play one in a store it may give you an idea of how things work as they are very balanced but very punchy pick ups. Haussel are inherently hot and mid forward from what I have played, I haven’t played the Haüssel P but I have extensively played the Jazz pick ups both small and large pole and they are very very nice, but mid forward and hot. The neck solo’d on a J pick up goes very close to P territory. Aggie’s tend to be veering towards a more vintage type sound and QPs are decent and punchy, fairly modern. Sorry I cannot give exact match for match but hope it helps a little
  13. I reckon so - it’s now just a dummy knob. Everything has to be pretty much unsoldered and then re-done for your new project, and then leave it there as a dummy knob. Save the picture and or draw the schematic should you wish to change back at some point and good luck, sounds like it will be great
  14. Go on then.......i’ll Contribute get it started Lord Ped
  15. Not disagreeing, which is why I said for most part, and hence keeps all pick ups open as an option to pair with a pre amp of choice, it’s just that some people (not all) think that pick ups in an active bass are active pick ups and that may not be the case
  16. Being slightly pedantic, for the most part, pick ups are not active, they work active or passive, it’s the pre-amp that is active/passive
  17. Graphite harmonics are like no others, a joy to play and to listen to
  18. Graphite necks really are the absolute Don, I cannot comment on Status vs Modulus, but if the Modulus is even half as good as a status - it’s ball hair stripping amazing
