Well he'd be right about that, of course! Just watched it, maybe I missed it but I didn't hear in this video? He does mention buying the Ken Smith from me in a different one.

Maybe I'm getting mixed up - I did watch a couple. 9_9

And you are, of course, quite right.  Yes - that was the other video he did on the Ken Smith.  I'll ask nurse to increase the medication even further... :lol:

You’re already drilling holes in vintage Fenders, better ease off on the meds if anything 😂

I found this interesting.  And Basschat and our very own @ped gets a mention too!!

 

 

 

 

By the way, stick with it past the intro - they start going into quite a bit of detail of the knobs settings and playing style effects...

I do enjoy these guys videos but when they are sitting there doing the bobble heads to whatever piece of music they are listening to, I can’t help but think of Beavis and Butt-Head 😂

Hi guys - I confess to not having read the whole thread. But I have a pressing issue with my WAL Pro bass - fretless passive 1981. The rotary pots are not working and need replacing. Can any of you guys give me the circuit for this vintage model? Values of the pots and whether log or linear? Any photos? I'd be very grateful.

Not really the right place.  Try "Wal bass lovers of the world" on Facebook.  Or call electric wood. 

 

Or this thread: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/436097-repairing-a-wal-pro-bass/

 

The pots are weird in that the shafts push into the pot rather than being part of it, they seem to break quite often.

Hello friends! There hasn’t been anything new in this thread for a long time, so I remember to post to you recordings of my pickups and preamp on a fretless jazz bass. Happy listening!

Loving this thread and taking a lot of tips and inspiration from it. I’m currently using a Sterling stingray with a Herrick Multicoil and lusithand NFP special. That with a harmonic booster I great a lovely tone.
