Wiring Jazz pickups direct to output jack (no vol/tone pots)
ikay replied to markmc87's topic in Repairs and Technical
I've been meaning to experiment with adding a couple of small inline resistors (as above) to a standard VVT wiring setup, but I believe that just backing of both vols slightly has the same effect. Backing off both vols certainly allows for smoother variations in tone when blending the pups. You do lose a bit of volume but that's easy to make up at the amp input gain. -
This short article about tube rectifiers and power supply sag is an interesting read (well it was to me anyway!) https://reverb.com/news/does-a-tube-rectifier-really-make-an-amp-sound-better

Strings & Things in Brighton are UK distributors for Ernie Ball, it might be worth giving them a call. I needed a new truss rod wheel a few years ago and they were very helpful. https://www.stringsandthings.co.uk/contact-us

Plugging the f-holes would also help to reduce feedback. Something like this - https://reverb.com/item/34668208-f-hole-foam-inserts-reduce-feedback-on-your-late-model-guild-x-175

Personally I'd just hang on to the SUB neck in case you ever want to put the SUB back together again. I made the mistake of selling a 'spare' Stingray neck a few years ago and shortly afterwards wished I'd kept it! If you're intent on selling it, then you'd probably realise more value overall by reassembling the USA SUB and selling it as a complete bass and then getting a new body for the SS fretless. USA SUBS are great basses (it's my current gigging bass) and they're pretty well sought after. If you just want a standard SR body (rather than a custom build) you can get one for around £200 from guitarandbassbuilds.com here - https://guitarandbassbuilds.com/collections/custom-bass-bodies/products/custom-shop-music-man-stingray-bass-body.
