Everything today has positive reviews at the launch, mostly by the "influencers" paid by the companies. -
Series/parallel PBASS tone question
Badscrew replied to Sweeneythebass's topic in Theory and Technique
You have two possibilities: 1) your series switch is putting the J in series with the P 2) its putting two halves of the P in series or parallel -
Series/parallel PBASS tone question
Badscrew replied to Sweeneythebass's topic in Theory and Technique
If you have your P and J in series, both pickups are in circuit. Test it with a steel object tapping on the pickups, you’ll know if this is the case or not. -

Series/parallel PBASS tone question
Badscrew replied to Sweeneythebass's topic in Theory and Technique
Well, you initially said a P-bass meaning only one split P-pickup. In your case it's maybe your J and P pickups are put in series, not the two halves of the P pickup? -
Series/parallel PBASS tone question
Badscrew replied to Sweeneythebass's topic in Theory and Technique
Pbass pickups are wired in series indeed. I tried the series-parallel switch on a P and it just sounds too anemic in parallel. Back to normal stock wiring. -

Seen the same thing from Fender with the strings placed completely out of whack on the bridge in their official marketing photos -
There's something uncanny in them...

Générations of future fans will be debating forever on the kind of cardboard the legendary Baloney Balderdash used and how it contributed to that famous tone! -
Tone pot removal or 2 pickups into one tone pot
Badscrew replied to DaleASmith's topic in Bass Guitars
I always wire my jazz basses with two pickups going to the same volume pot. I keep the tone though. This makes one pot doing nothing -
I envy you every time I’m on an airplane (which is over 50 times the last 5 years)

You can relax: this bassist is tiny and she looks great with this bass

What would be your bass gig of choice from all of history?
Badscrew replied to Bilbo's topic in General Discussion
I’m sturdier than Stu, can I get this gig please? not sure about singing though, I’ll let that Sting chap do it. Deal? -
I have strict rules of « no more than one bass in per year » and « you buy one you sell one ». Which I’ve never been able to follow.

Some flats are more sticky than the others. I had horrible experience with Chromes' - even had friction burns on my fingertips from trying to do slides once! Fender Flats - no stickiness at all
