Waddycall Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Hi, i have a squier jazz with fretless neck and a Nordstrand musicman pickup between the jazz pickups. The bridge jazz pickup is disconnected and the mm pickup connected to its volume pot. Would you be able to do a VBT loom with a selector switch for the bridge pickup? cheers pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velarian Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Please excuse my ignorance but what effect, sound-wise, does the series/parallel switch have on the J bass wiring loom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switching both pick-ups into series gives a boost in mids and output, the actual sound change depends on what pick-ups are used. Parllel is of course normal Jazz bass mode.

Grangur Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I've never bought a loom from John, cos I can do my own, but I've been here forever and known SO many folk buy from him and sung his praises. John is an Ace guy. Buy his top-level product with total confidence. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe live, but recorded I prefer the woody tone of the neck, the scooped of both together or the poppy-honky bridge but that may be the particular pickups on that specific bass. It's hard to know till you try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely - and the upgrade in the electronics is definitely worthwhile. Can totally recommend KiOgon's products. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddycall Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Just fitted my new Kiogon loom. Jazz loom VBT with selector switch to choose between the jazz bridge pickup or the MM pickup I have fitted between the j pickups. Works a treat. Awesome service - was made and in the post the same day we finalised the details! Great communication, quality gear, well designed and beautifully assembled and packed!

nige1968 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Hello If I want to go stack-knobby with my road worn bass, is there any way to get non-shiny hardware? Such parts seem to be like hens’ diamond-encrusted teeth in the everyday world. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta Hello Nige, I don't offer a relicing service on my kits, I believe it's quite a time consuming thing to do - but not as long as doing it *the real way* 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooky_lowdown Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 If the parts are chrome, simply use the green side of a washing pad, rub in one direction and it'll remove the chrome to leave the duller metal underneath. Then place parts in a container or small box full of screws and nails, shake it vigorously. You'll end up with metal parts looking genuinely roadworn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just buy nickel parts and use them for more than a week 🤣👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom.android Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Hi, It is possible to get VBT with series / parallel push pull pot? Can’t see it listed. cheers, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see it listed. cheers, Tom Yes Tom, Can do but it's really not a comfortable combination to use, IMHO. With pick-ups in series the blend is redundant, as would a second volume control be. In parallel of couse the blend has control over the 2 pick-ups as normal, with volume and tone. PM me for any more info please.
