    Markbass Little Marcus Tuner Out - only works with mute

    Thanks! And just to verify for future questions: it’s the CN2 jumper on Little Marcus as well. Or to be perfectly honest: I just removed CN2 (and the ser/par) and it works. I have NO idea what CN2 does though.

    Markbass Little Marcus Tuner Out - only works with mute

    Related question to Nicholox (or anyone else with a Little Marcus): did you move just the fxloop series/parallell jumper or any of the other ones as well? I found instructions for little mark models but they mention *two* jumpers and I'm not sure if that applies to Marcus as well (and if so...

    Show Your Fretless

    Ibz SR506 from -96, bought it new and de-fretted instantly. Since then it's been somewhat modified: new bridge, Duncan Steve Bailey preamp, plek'd fretboard that's been CA-coated, D-tuner, LaBella black tape wounds and - obviously - a refinish.

    Piezo pickups vs. "regular" preamp?

    Update: swapped leads on one of the pickups. Pros - blending works Cons - *massive* ground hum appeared, not present when wired the other way around. Seems to be a quite common problem, ground hum with piezos that is.

    Piezo pickups vs. "regular" preamp?

    Thank you both for input, I'll look into buffer solutions (Bart AG2PB would probably be perfect but a bit too expensive for testing). Also, I'll absolutely try swapping hot/ground on one of the pups. The thought already crossed my mind but setting up the soldering station *again* just seemed...

    SOLD Bartolini G6 6 string Bass PickupsPrice dropped

    Springs shouldn't be a problem, the pups I'm replacing probably have either springs or foam under them. Please check the shipping cost and we'll try to sort this - I'll most likely get to pay some sort of customs/vat so if shipping costs are to high it might not be worth it. Don't know if it's...

    Piezo pickups vs. "regular" preamp?

    First of all, I'm perfectly aware that this is a bad idea and that it might be impossible to get it to work but then again the preamp was just lying in a drawer so I figured it was worth a try. Here's the deal: I have an Ergo sixstring EUB that came with pretty lousy stock piezo pickup elements...

    SOLD Bartolini G6 6 string Bass PickupsPrice dropped

    Just stumbled onto these: are they still available and, if so, would you consider shipping to Sweden? (Payment through Paypal in that case) Would be nice to try in my old Yamaha trb6.
