Sparky Mark

Acebassmusic understood the OP question and this video explains clearly how a speaker driver produces different frequencies simultaneously. Many thanks.

Thank you but my reason for asking was that as right handed I'd never come across a lefty Fender bass case before. I bought this on Basschat as I'm a bit of Fender fan and was looking for an aged case for my CS62 relic P. When it arrived it was evident it was for lefty P basses and prompted me to research its rarity. With shipping I was happy to pay about the same as a new righty deluxe G&G case, so not cheap but reasonable considering its scarcity. I put expensive cleaning materials and several hours labour into it to remove silver spray paint and black paint over that on both sides so it's not for sale at the moment, but who knows? Thanks again.

This what the class D power section looks like. Only needs a single heatsink due to the higher efficiency compared to the class AB.

I'm not concerned about an extra few ounces; the contours make a much bigger difference in forearm playing comfort.

If you look at the first post in this thread you will see pics of my two violins and why I bought both pickup configurations. I'm sure Club are brilliant basses but they're not an iconic design like the violin in my opinion. They probably sound the same or very similar to violins.

I think you've got your years mixed up. The 61 is the cavern style with neck and middle, 62 has neck and bridge. I've already attempted to describe the tonal differences between the two versions a few posts earlier in this thread. Yes the 62 can produce a thinner more upper mid present sound but doesn't have the middle pickup capable of a really nice tone on its own. It's similar to the difference between jazz and precision tones.

You'd be better to try a T-Cut type polish as sanding could make it more difficult to get back to a gloss finish. The genuine Hofner covers were only £3 each from Thomann.

Both nuts seem okay at the moment; I assumed they were moulded so no opportunity to mis-cut them. I added the tea cup knobs, German truss rod covers, blackened the pup surround fixing screws and removed the cheapo scratchplates which improves their appearance greatly IMO.

They're pretty much as you'd expect. The neck pickup on both is the roundest and the same, the 62 bridge pickup is the thinnest and the 61 centre pickup nice and round but with more definition than the neck. With the 61 I tend to prefer the centre pickup solo, whilst on the 62 I like both pickups full up then the neck pickup backed off a little until the mids come through.

In my old age I'm getting to know some of the iconic basses that have passed me by over the last 45 years. First off was the Rickenbacker 4003 which I have tried a couple of times but never rated until I persevered with the 4003S. Now it's the Hofner 500/1 violin. I love the craftsmanship involved in their manufacture but reluctant to throw £1,500 at one before knowing if we'd ever gel. Following some homework I decided the hollow bodied Ignition was the way to go for me to try the ergonomics and tone. The next question was whether I'd prefer the 61 or 62 pickup positions. The truth is I like both 61 and 62 versions so much for their differences I can see me keeping both.

Over the past 12 years I've owned many Markbass cabs and still own several Markbass heads; I too love the punchy relatively neutral Markbass delivery. For me the Markbass sweet spot cab-wise is a pair of NY121P cabs with either 500 or 800 watt head. Super compact single 12 rig or surprisingly capable two 12 rig when more power needed. If your LM3 is one of the pre 2012 class AB versions I'd definitely keep using it until it packs up; I much prefer mine over the later class D version.
