jogi Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Great bass! George´s BNs have an excellent balance on the strap which particularly helps with the playability of the six-string bass. [quote]here is the pots layout:2 vol. the second one have push/pull for active/passive, general tone for active or passive and when it's pulled at the top the regular 2 single-coil pickups become 2 strong humbuckers,[/quote] Actually, pulling up the tone knob should engage the active eq, pulling up bridge volume gives the single-coil sound - which is louder than the humbucker sound with F-Basses. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapierro Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 yes you're right Jogi, i've simply wrote the opposite so thanks! and you're one more right to specify that bass have an excellent balance on the strap, no neck dive at all.
