Veils

I'm looking for a tutor in and around Coventry. I actually live in Leamington Spa and am willing to drive if anyone can recommend me a good tutor? PM me if you happen to know anyone mega! Thanks

I found last weekend, my first time recording anything with a passive bass (or a bass with active circuit bypassed) and it did indeed sit a lot better in the mix. I'm definitely converted. Now the only problem I have is that I really do favour the stacked pot circuits and I'd love an original Fender with one of these circuits. I'm off to extract a kidney.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1463507174' post='3051932'] I've just bought a 4 pot Glock 3 band. What is yours? They are reknown for being discreet and being level active v passive [/quote] I believe mine is exactly that, 4 pot 3 band. And I did notice that there's little difference in terms of level between active and passive.

I've just had a look at the original ad from when I bought this bass. Apparently it has a glockenklang EQ in it, is it likely to be worth anything to anyone?

Thanks Mr Gary Mac It shouldn't be a surprise to me really I guess. The reason I got into playing bass was a certain Mr Alex James, who is still to this day my number 1 bass hero. Not just the way he plays, but the sound he gets too (I know he's a Precision man rather than Jazz). Now that I think about it, Precisions are the only bass I am yet to experiment with........hmmmmmmm...........

You see this is what I was wondering? Maybe it's a mellowing out with age thing? Being only 32 I do wonder if I'm getting old before my time I guess I'll just substitute the world "old" for "refined"!

I recently acquired a rather smashing Mayones Jabba Classic. Honestly, I don't even know what circuit is in it, but it does sound really nice. Now I took it to a friends recently to lay some bass tracks down for him and I just happened to start messing around with the bass in passive mode which is something I never really used to do, to my surprise it sounded absolutely incredible! So much better than with the active circuit engaged! I have recently developed a bit of a thing for stacked pot jazz bass circuits and I can well see myself swapping the active circuit out of this bass to have an awesome old school looking stacked pot circuit. Obviously taste changes for a lot of people over time, but this is one change in taste I never thought I would be subject to. I've now well and truly got the urge to start saving for an early 60's jazz..........

I'm wondering about the options for a (preferably active) stacked pot circuit to go in a jazz bass. Absolutely must be stacked pot Can anyone recommend something delicious?

Played one Fodera, it was absolute SEX. Made me sound twice the bassist I am and felt so effortless to play. Would happily punch a horse to death to own one.

Mr Jim bought a bass from me recently, was kind enough to do me the favour of paying up super quickly to enable me to get a guitar I wanted and was all in all a very pleasant chap to do business with. Couldn't recommend highly enough. All the best with the new addition to the family Jim
