    Thanks for checking that.

    Thanks, these vary quite a bit in weight so an accurate digital weight would be good if you can.

    What does this one weigh please?

    Could it be your Phil Jones combo rather than the bass? Have you tried a different bass with your rig? I found this post which mentions a distorting double 4 - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/289284-intermittant-distortion-from-my-phil-jones-double-four/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/289284-intermittant-distortion-from-my-phil-jones-double-four/[/url]

    Re low output, it depends which piezo you're using. Hipshot/Graphtech piezo bridges have more output than your average humbucker!

    To mix the piezo and mag signals together you'll need something like the East MPM-01 buffer circuit. I'd suggest giving John a call and explaining what you need, he'll be able to sort you out.

    Thanks

    I take it you've also got a wire from the bridge to the jack earth?

    Here's the Delano one - [url="http://www.delano.de/products.html?&cHash=9185ee9f3f&tx_smtdelano_pi1[cat]=2&tx_smtdelano_pi1[series]=11&tx_smtdelano_pi1[system]=123"]http://www.delano.de/products.html?&cHash=9185ee9f3f&tx_smtdelano_pi1[cat]=2&tx_smtdelano_pi1[series]=11&tx_smtdelano_pi1[system]=123[/url]

    [quote name='sirmuppet' timestamp='1500282633' post='3336599'] I did hear before of a pickup that had four coils and you could select which were on/off. The front and back coils were split into bass and treble. So that would allow for the split P sound (ish). For the life of me I can't remember who made them but wasn't one of the ones you suggested. [/quote] One of these maybe? - https://www.bartolini.net/product-tag/quad-coil-splittable/

    Here are a couple I know of: Bartolini MPB2-918 - [url="https://www.allparts.uk.com/products/bartolini-buffer-and-blend-balance-for-bass"]https://www.allparts.uk.com/products/bartolini-buffer-and-blend-balance-for-bass[/url] John East MPM-01 - [url="http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/all-products/mpm-01.html"]http://www.east-uk.com/index.php/all-products/mpm-01.html[/url]

    A suitably coloured marker pen carefully applied? Cheap and cheerful, but then I am!

    Thanks for the weight. Project is eyes only lol! A flight of fancy that may never see the light of day but you never know. Half the fun is thinking about it
  15. ikay
    Thanks and good to know that you sometimes venture this way. I like that this is 32" but it would require a bit of modding for what I have in mind. Let me have a think.
  16. ikay
    What does it weigh please and can you post a pic of the back showing the neck heel? (I'm interested in mod potential for something I have in mind). Thanks

    Looks like toast to me. I'd contact Ibanez and see if they can supply replacement saddle - [url="http://www2.ibanez.com/contact/"]http://www2.ibanez.com/contact/[/url]
  18. ikay
    If the piezo saddles are anything like those on my Hipshot piezo bridge then I think you'll need a new saddle. Can you post a pic?

    I made a cardboard sunshield for my PitchBlack but it didn't make any difference! I also have a Poytune clip-on in which is a bit better in sunlight but still not particularly easy to see. I wish I'd kept my old Boss TU-12 with the Vu type needle meter for sunny outdoor gigs.

    With a lined fretless, personally I find having the dots in the 'usual' position feels more natural and makes switching between fretted and fretless easier. Removing frets and adding lines is entirely doable by a good luthier. No need to replace the fingerboard unless you want an unlined neck (in which case you will want the dots on the fret positions as mybass says).

    What is the exact weight please?

    I have a Dbx 160A permanently plumbed into my rig. I have it set to give a gentle 2:1 squeeze with a fairly high threshold just to subtly smooth transients out like Highfox. I've tried several pedals in the past but they all seemed to suck the life out of my sound. I like the Dbx because it's amazingly transparent and doesn't colour the sound at all. Once it's set you just forget it's there.

    Just sold my ACG EQ01 preamp to Dave. Top chap to deal with, good comms and prompt payment. Many thanks Dave and enjoy exploring the endless tones of the filter pre! Cheers, Ian

    An amazingly versatile preamp which offers a massive range of tones from earth shaking dub to midrange punch and crystal highs. This is the 4-knob version which has a stacked vol/blend two LPF filters (one for each pickup), and one HPF filter for adjusting highs. Each filter has a stacked control for selecting the filter cut-off frequency and adjusting the 'overshoot' (resonant peak). The LPF filters can fundamentally change the tonal characteristics of each pickup. Being able to set different characteristics for each pickup and then variably blend them together creates a huge tonal palette. The HPF filter allows for fine tuning of high frequency content across both pickups. Full details of the EQ01 features and functions plus installation instructions can be found on the ACG website here - [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg-eq01-filter-pre-amp/"]http://www.acguitars...filter-pre-amp/[/url] This preamp came (new) with my ACG Recurve fretless (#0067) which has a single humbucker and a piezo bridge. I used it for several years to great effect but, after a lot of experimenting, I eventually swapped it out for an East SPM-01 modular preamp with an MPM02 buffer which I found worked better with the piezo (the piezo doesn't respond to filtering in the same way as a mag pickup). I've also played an ACG with an EQ01 and two mag pickups and it is mighty. Comes with the original matching set of 4 black stacked control knobs. Requires 9v battery power (battery clip and jack socket not provided). Price is £100 which includes UK delivery. Any questions please ask. Thanks for looking!
