Wanting to identify this P bass pickup. Black, white, & yellow cloth wire. T & B stamped on each coil respectively, X written on both coils. DCR is 10.9k. Not sure if the quick connect is original to the pickup. Thanks in advance!

Hm, no trim pots on my BTB670. After reading your post, I practically ran for the bass thinking “That’s it!”. No such luck. However, I was able to raise the treble side of the pickup a bit, which allowed me to firmly but carefully tighten/lower the bass side screws. Big improvement. Treble side...

They’re fairly new strings, all from the same set.

Ibanez BTB670 bass with Bartolini mk2 pickups. Low E string is much louder than the others and I do not see a way to lower that side of the pickup like I might do with a Strat for example. I’m using a Cab M+ to record a bass track but am dead in the water with this low E volume issue. I’m not...

Someone’ll buy it.

It’s cheap and easy to make.

Make the distortion mod plug to unleash the beast, you’ll dig it.

Thanks Dad! hehe... I kid...

Well damn. Shirley there must be something beginnerish that I can build from the VTB1 parts.

Interesting, thanks! Wondering if my old Studio Projects VTB1 preamp has enough parts to harvest for this. I’m trying to learn pedal mods and lower-level builds.

Are these units fairly easy to build?

I sold a drum kit yesterday, my first human encounter in weeks. I carried everything outside to my front porch. Buyer arrived wearing mask and gloves. I kept a 10ish feet distance. He fanned out the cash, stuck it inside an envelope, and placed it on the railing. After he loaded up and left, I...

Hey thanks! I’m doing my best to enjoy the downtime and also have something to show for it. 2 completed songs is the mission. Hoping for more. I think what you’re referring to is called a load box, where you would connect from your amp’s speaker output to the load box instead of an actual cab...

That was precisely my experience when using my Vocalmaster head as a guitar amp. Loved the sound, but this was always an issue.

Great stuff, good to hear! I’m all over the map in the bedroom studio this week. Recording bass tracks with the Teisco. Broke out the 1940’s Electromuse lap steel for some swampy flavor. More guitar spices on tap for this evening. I can’t tell if I’m recording a song or playing with toys...
