Yeah, I’ve definitely done all of the above already and changing the pots is kind of my last resort. I’ve went through many many different strings and ended up with Daddario Nickel balanced tensions with the 120 gauge (I play in a lower tuning). The pickups are currently as low as they’ll go...

I ideally want to lower the output of the bass without having to sacrifice too much tone in the process.

I have a Fender Aerodyne with Dimarzio Area pj DP 251 pickups in and 500k pots. I’m finding that the pickups are *extremely* loud and sensitive. I love the growl I get from them and tone but there is a LOT of high end snappiness to them. I was thinking downgrading the pots would help even things...

Thank you so much for that very informative response. I’ll do some more messing around and return later.

Hey guys looking for a little help here. I recently got the Orange Fur Coat fuzz pedal and I love the tone...but it’s so LOUD. I have it just barely turned up and it is absolutely explosive. Like unusable. Plus my pickups need to be shielded or something because they give off all sorts of noise...

Hey there fellow Aerodyne users! Sorry if I’m interjecting but I figured I should just post my question here. I’m going to be installing some Dimarzio pickups and it was recommended to me that I get 500k pots to accompany it. Problem is....I have no clue what that actually means lol. I’m a real...

I believe this is an Indonesia model. 2009. Passive. 34 inch scale, MEC pickups, ash body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard, original Warwick tuners and bridge. All in great condition aside from some wear by the bridge. I’m hoping for a cash deal but I’m open to hearing other trades. I’d trade...

Thanks for all the replies! I’ve definitely got some stuff to consider. My main worry is damaging the fretboard in some way. The mention of sanding it down makes me super nervous because, well, I don’t know what I’m doing lol. To clarify why I want to do this and what for: I got a Fender...

I posted this in the bass forum but was redirected here. There are some older posts on this subject but I’m wondering in 2020 what the general recommendation for this is. I want to turn my rosewood fretboard as black as possible and just want some clear directions on how to safely do it and...

There are some older posts on this subject but I’m wondering in 2020 what the general recommendation for this is. I want to turn my rosewood fretboard as black as possible and just want some clear directions on how to safely do it and what is the consensus on the best material to use. Any info...

I’ve got someone offering me this amp + $200 for a bass I’m selling. I’m considering it because I wanted to get a Fender Rumble 500 combo. I can’t seem to find much about these amps and the couple videos I’ve found sounded like there was pretty much no low end. Anyone have any experience with them?

They are all passive. Which I prefer but I know others do not. I’d say the sharp edge is the only complaint I’ve had with it. After a four hour gig it is not very pleasant on the forearm, but I just got a wrist band to wear were my arm rests on the bass. Problem solved! And as far as the...

Just to stir the pot a little further here, my other main bass is a Warwick :hyper: Also to the story about the Schecter: All I’ve got to say is the Schecter Model T is one badass mofo! I’ve always wanted to own one!

I might add that I will likely never be able to afford a high end Spector....but if I could try a high end model it might encourage me to sell a kidney. I’m not hating on Spectors at all either! Just saying for me personally I think I prefer everything about Fender and it feels like I’m...
