Oops! Sorry, my mistake. He was definitely groovin’

Wow! You guys were on fire. I think any bass would’ve sounded great in your hands today!

I had a Sweetwater rep I didn’t like very well. He didn’t really know what he was talking about when I would ask him a specific question, but he would act like he did. I don’t know what happened but I got switched to Keith Klikas and I like working with him real well.

I’ve got the same issue with this one. I might try the crayon trick. That sounds like a good option. I cut the pickguard down because I hated covering the cool paint job. I uncovered as much as I could without routing showing.

I have nickel low riders on my J bass, PJ bass and five string Yamaha TRB1005. My J bass and my PJ bass are strung BEAD. Overall they are pretty warm sounding. I like the sound of the DR Sunbeams (nickel) but with a round core they’re a little floppy for the B string. The Lo riders are hex core...

I’m using a one spot power supply. Now that you mention it I don’t believe most other power supplies are going to fit underneath this thing. Pretty low clearance underneath and the rails are not open on the underside.

I couldn’t decide what length pedaltrain nano to get and I saw this small adjustable board. I talked to my Sweetwater rep. He had seen one in person and said it looked pretty sturdy.I ordered one for $99 but passed on the $99 bag. I have have some bags that will probably work. Sweetwater filled...

Wow, I’m impressed…with your girlfriend and the bass. Both keepers!

I’ve got a PJ I put together with three knobs. Volume, 4 position rotary switch and tone. I wired the p/u selector switch to be - P only, P and J in series, P and J in parallel, J only. The P only is the most aggressive sounding. The P and J in series is still pretty gnarly but has more...

Sending up prayers for his wife and kids. They have some great Christian songs. Terribly sad deal!

RIP Jay Weaver bass player of Big Daddy Weave. Died of Covid complications. I think he had trouble with diabetes. He had lost both feet when I saw them a few years ago. Prayers for his wife and kids. They have some great Christian music.

I’ll take it. PM sent Matt

Sorry, I’m not being clear. I mean the leads going to the pot.

When the nut pulls the pot up against the foil, the wire connection lugs can sometimes contact the foil. Know what I mean? Like if the foil doesn’t stay flat against the body, it could touch the positive wire connection from the pickup.

Ok, dumb question...The front of the lugs on the pots are not shorting to the foil, are they? I had to put electrical tape on front of my pot lugs to keep from grounding out. Hope this helps.
