Some new right stuff in Thomann Invalid Link Removed So, who shall be the first? ;)

Rattle can finish club? ;)

Well, first set (for the JB) I've bought from CH Guitars, they were some generic Chinese JB type machine heads. The second set I was considering to take directly from China (via eBay), but some guy in Poland already imported those and was selling the same type of Chinese machines locally.

Don't open the box, just stare at it! The box can wait as long as You were waiting for it ;)

YES! :hyper: How to explain this to my wife that the bass is significantly different than the NA with maple fretboard:D

Check out http://buildyourguitar.com/resources/lemme/ - Fig. 14 and Fig. 15 - some info how the resonant peak changes regarding pot and cap replacement

Well, actually I left the 250k pots. One in the JB is a little bit scratchy, may replace it later on. Replacing pots to 500k shall result in brighter sound A nice thing to do is to replace the tone cap. The cap gives impact in the sound even if the tone is fully opened - it is a factor on the...

I can only comment it by INDEED! ;) But for seriolsy, JB neccesary pack would be in my opinion: setup (witn nut filing) and shielding. In the case of PJ - as with JB plus the pickup replacement. So, only a part of the above Oh, and with the previous lists I forgot to mention the tone caps...

The PJ had some other pickup than the Wilkinson originally - the lowest string had some balance issues. I had an option to take the Wilkinson P, but I spoke with the guys at my supplier and they recomended me the Entwistle. With the pickups in the JB however, I have no problems. To say more -...

So, it was a long time without an update from my side :) Yesterday it was new nut day for both basses. JB had the nut changed two years ago to a 'some kind of cheap graphite', the PJ had stock. The material of choice was Nubone. The blanks were adjusted to radius - the groove in the neck is...

They had something like this:

Some update on PJ-4 works I've checked the neck pocket - it was already cleaned in the factory to a flat surface Still, I've decided to clean it a little bit better I've also filed the nut - it was not low enough for my preferences. Will replace it for a better quality nut in near...

Did You try to cut the bass a little bit (-3 to 6 dB), with adding punch from the parametric EQ +6 dB @ 200 Hz? Does the problem appear at bigger than bedroom volumes?

Hmmm. Mine is around 5,2 kg. I wonder where is the difference from? 4,5 kg is noticeably lighter on the back
