Talk me through the controls you have there sir. What's all the knobs and switches do?
If I manage to hock my collection of vintage spam posters I'd like one with the Neutrik jack recessed into the body please. But everything else the same.

[jmorbita]

really beautiful!!!! gorgeus!!!
sorry for this stupid question... is the coil swith independent of the preamp or do you need the preamp for the coil switch to work?

[PilbaraBass]

stunning! as usual...

well done, Alan...5 stars!

Hi
Al the controls for the pre-amp are.
Vol/blend
Filter stack for the neck pickup. This comprises of the filter frequency on the lower ring and the overshoot peak on the upper ring. The over shoot peak control adds resonance to to the filter with up to 12dB of gain at where ever the filter is set.
Filter stack for the bridge pickup same as above.
Treble filter lower ring sets the frequency and the upper ring the gain up to 18dB.


The coil switch is out with the pre-amp you can usually set it up on any humbucker that gives you access to the coils.

Cheers Phil,I trust all is well with you.

looking good Alan! haven't seen you around for a bit. I trust business is well?

[Skelf]

Daniel
Always good to hear from you.
Things are going well plenty of work to do so no complaints just not enough hours in the day to get all that needs to be done sorted out.
How is your building going anything new on the go.

...we're both bald, perhaps that's where you're getting confused...

[Skelf]

Sorry I keep doing this I must put my brain in gear before approaching the keyboard. I am bald as well so that will confuse the issue further. Again my apologies.

i keep looking at the pics, that bass is so beautiful. Is there any sound sample?

[Skelf]

Hi
Not at the moment but I think the owner will be recording something in the not to distant future.
