    Audio taper vs Liner taper pots

    According to Gemini To get that massive tonal range from "unfiltered bell-like clarity" to a "600Hz Motown thump" without losing highs as you turn down the volume, you need a **Linear No-Load circuit** paired with a **Treble Bleed**. ## The "Glass-to-Motown" Configuration | Component | Value...

    Jazz Shielding Pictorial (Big Images Warning)

    I asked AI why star grounding doesn't matter..., In the world of high-end audio and electrical engineering, **star grounding** is a gold standard for eliminating ground loops. However, inside a passive guitar or bass, it's often overkill or misunderstood. The short answer: **The physical...

    I'm actually pretty good at basic finger style and can play along with a lot of songs. Sorry I didn't mention that. So I have lots of those songs to play too but want to learn slap because its such a great sound. In the slap world though I only have the one song so far that I can actually...

    Thanks for the great replies! I'm a beginner bass player with plenty still to learn. A friend loaned me a really sweet 2012 Cort Artisan A5 Spalted, and it's just gorgeous — being in a recording studio, the fact that it's so quiet is a definite highlight. I've made four funk/jazz albums...

    That's awesome but I'm not building anything. If you had to pick one bass off the shelf in the 1k range what are you buying ?

    Bass recommendation

    I'm playing a 2012 cort artist a5 sp atm and while it seems to be strong for a fender jazz sound it doesn't seem to have the punchy mids or clear bottom of a fender precision. It also doesn't seem to have the highs of a musicman stingray for funk even when boosted from an eq. The highs are...

    1995 Ibanez ATK305 low output

    Is there anything creative I can do with that single pickup? The original triple humbucker had so much variety built into it that I would love to get something like a stingray sound and a p bass sound available. I asked Bing and here's what it said **Yes — you *can* get both Stingray bite and...

    1995 Ibanez ATK305 low output

    Does anyone know of an inexpensive pickup that can fit in this bass to make it easy to sell ? Thanks for the reply. I think your right. I'm in Raleigh North Carolina and I think I'm just going to find a pickup combination it'll give it some new life.

    1995 Ibanez ATK305 low output

    Well Kent checked out my pickup and because it's potted in epoxy is unable to easily clone it, so I'm just going to move on and play my other bass. I do wish it was available though. Oh well......Anyone want to buy the bass at a good price ?
