    Yep my bass is entirely passive and has the Tonestyler. I would have it wide open, about 4-5 clicks in or full rolled off as people described. Because it clicks it’s very easy to find your ‘place’. No the 48 is not that bad at the Dusty end - of course it’s no double cutaway Danelectro long horn, but it does just fine in that regard. @mcnach you will love the TI flats, there is a great brightness to them still and the depth of a roundwound, phenomenal string

    @mcnachAnd just to +1 the tonestyler some more, I was getting the same thing you were getting around those settings. I also had a very nice set of TI Flats, have used it with rounds, but for this bass and pick up I have, TI’s do the job perfectly

    Build quality second to none and customer service and care is amazing. The 48 body is slightly smaller, but its badass and the balance is spot on, Just try one, you never know....

    And the Sandberg 48 is a great great bass to play

    Tonestyler is the absolute nuts! welcome the club

    Titebond and loads of clamps

    Its a great idea i used an old guitar E string to keep the bridge to ground wire hole patent while gluing a body together to repair it You can keep cheesewiring it back and forth as it sets so it doesn’t get stuck, Kitchen Metal skewers also work

    Ha! No worries i clamp the body/neck and use a drill press, when I did a graphite neck I couldn’t be off even in the slightest, also controlled the depth nicely. If you want to do ferrules instead of a plate using that and a Firsch Forstner bit is a nice touch, Personally I prefer them

    You defo need an extra long drill bit for the grounding wire to the bridge. I nearly hammered the whole body using a normal length one.....🤦🏾‍♂️ May be teaching you to suck eggs, but if you haven’t got a Pillar drill either get one (they are not too expensive) or see a mate who has one. Neck holes on the body and the holes into a neck itself are the crucial ones to be dead arrow straight. Looking forward to progress!

    Looking good! For when I progress to building instead of renovating and putting parts together, I have just bought a set of chisels, doing it old school!

    They had that old headstock, fender slapped them, they popped a pointy bit, I think fender’s slap has worn off now so they can do what they want

    Too many switches for me - I am a simpletone ....

    Beauties buddy especially the SB memories of mine.....semi hollow ASAT had the best neck ever, and I missed the L1500 to stop it sounding like fingernails on a blackboard - serious thump - not a fan of the neck though, and those MFD’s.....
  15. Cuzzie
    Well if it’s not a G&L but made in Fullerton it will be good And if it doesn’t have MFD’s it will be good Winning formula
  16. Cuzzie
    Neither of you get me started on them again.....🤬
  17. Cuzzie
    That will be an awesome combo - right decision on keeping dUg
  18. Cuzzie
    😊 I gather that is the emoji for awwwww

    Well, you know I won’t say that - I fully agree with what you said, except that to add Blackpool rock will sound sweeter.....

    Wood

    Cuzzie replied to Jabba_the_gut's topic in Build Diaries

    I have always loved your wood....... Looking good chap for another adventure!
  21. Cuzzie
    May be OK, if not using those MFD pick ups......
  22. Cuzzie
    Sure pick ups and EQ etc. Can even out any differences as said, but I am in the camp that not just the body wood, but fretboard wood make a difference in the sound that comes out - it has to. Electronics for the most are not that variable as they are not living structures. If you straight lifted electronics from one bass to another, to another etc. There will be a variance in sound - you hear of people talking about dead, dull, lifeless basses....... That being said I am not an exotic or any wood snob - I still agree with pick up and use the one that works for you whatever the make up and combination of woods, or non wood materials.
  23. Cuzzie
    Ah but you have the look!! i dont even have that
  24. Cuzzie
    It’s been a afternoons play for me got about 10 seconds in, still nowhere near him
  25. Cuzzie
    Hahaha It’s not just the appearance - I may lack a little in the vocal range...... One of those slightly lubricated - i’ll give it a go moments
