Yes I agree...Unfortunately here in Australia we dont have much of a finish option as the models we get here are standard...I've seen nice finishes from the American artists, but yes we miss out. Plus our dollar value is disgusting. An M7 over the States is $600.00 cheaper in currency value

o Gidday from Oz...I currently own a Sire P7, and I am totally satisfied with the sound and build quality. It is one of my Go to basses when I gig (every weekend). I currently have 5 basses with my 2nd Sire on its way (V7 2nd Generation 5 ). I've owned a 70's Fender Jazz and I can say these...

I own a Sire P7 5 string. Tobacco Sunburst Ash body, Maple neck and fret board. I've done open air concerts, pub gigs, private gigs etc...Totally satisfied, it cuts through nicely, and now my Fender Jazz, Fender Precision and Ibanez Soundgear 5 are all having a long rest, as the P7 covers what...

I still have mine I purchased in 1997. Still in immaculate beautiful condition

How ya going Yea I got it sorted...I have it wired as supposed too and I was confused as to why it wouldnt go...I pulled the pups out and realized that I had put them in back to front, the neck in bridge position and vice versa with the bridge, plus I had the bridge back to front, switched them...

What are the wiring color codes? eg white is (live) or red is (live)?

Hi Guys I'm on my next project. I am currently trying to wire up a Mings 3 Band preamp into my Ibanez 1205 Soundgear (1994) bass. I still have the two humbucking soapbar ADX5's which have been tested and are working fine. I have the output/input jack wired up correctly. I have the PUPs hot...

Throw a capacitor on the volume knob etc. That will tame down the highs because the BTC tone control can only take what the Vol pots give it

The most important part on a bass guitar are your fingers

Hi Chris, Greetings from Australia. I recently slapped in a pair of JVX PUPs hardwired to 2 EMG passive pots @ 25k Ohms...the hotwire I ran from the Neck PUP to the BTC input. The system is basically running in series. When the neck PUP is On alone, it has a beautiful organic Pbass tone and...

Yes pretty much...The only difference was I didn't use the 'Quick Connects' I hardwired 2X 25k EMG pots in series as the BTC wouldnt work in parallel. The EMG pots are small in comparison to other pots.

Cheers mate will do...I was thinking that...was too happy and 4got ...Thanks...

Thanks again testing1two. I finally figured it out...For the BTC to work I had to run the PUP's in Series. I was at the stage where the 'Hammer' was a good option for that damn BTC. BUt finally it's up and going, ready to hit those Australian venue's. Here is a pic of the finished set b4...

There's only a problem with the old BTC schematics...The BTC I have is designed for the 'Quick Connect' and so its hard to follow the one you posted...
