    Squier Affinity Jaguar Bass...H?!

    The solution would be to remove everything from the switch then rotate it 180 degrees and solder everything back.

    Squier Affinity Jaguar Bass...H?!

    Doesn't matter because by bridging these two lugs together there's always going to be continuity between them regardless. Electrically they're the same lug now so which one you choose to connect your pickup to isn't going to affect the circuit.

    I could be wrong but from here I don't see your pickup shielding being connected to ground.

    Squier Affinity Jaguar Bass...H?!

    Lol how about this: I like D'Addario tapewounds but of course you can't find them anywhere so I searched Amazon and found a set in medium scale that I immediately ordered... for 80$ after taxes. The silked portion starts so damn early on those strings, they would've been fine had I not installed...

    Squier Affinity Jaguar Bass...H?!

    Bought a Jaguar H brand new a couple of weeks ago, just fell in love with that neck, couldn't leave the store without it. A Fender Hi Mass bridge seems to have fixed what little neckdive it initially had so I guess I got lucky. The stock PU however was way too muddy for me, the tone control...

    The Short-Scale Six-String Club Part 4 - for the original six-string basses!

    Oh they do, I bought a lot of different Labellas in the past. I tried the flats, the rounds, the white tapewounds. The Dunlop were cheaper and are very tough. They last longer and they don't break. I just ordered two sets of Fender 100-24 rounds. Gotta buy them when you find them.

    The Short-Scale Six-String Club Part 4 - for the original six-string basses!

    I don't post in here very often. I still play my Argus, still love it. ~18 months ago I was lucky enough to get my mitts on a few sets of custom made Dunlop strings for the Bass VI. Nickel roundwounds, GREAT tone with a lot of zing. By far the best strings I've ever played on the Argus since I...

    The Short-Scale Six-String Club Part 4 - for the original six-string basses!

    I'm getting a new amp tomorrow and I'm waiting for a set of Labella tapewounds that I ordered. When those two things coincide I'll get a tone worthy to be recorded. It needs a 15'' speaker to be heard properly and now all I've got is a 2x10 and dead strings. The reason behind the pickups is...

    My faithful Agile Argus 630, with GFS NY-II pickups, buzzstop and Labella flats.

    Best Bass Compressor

    Link Removed This thing, for the money it'll cost you, you just can't beat it. Does not color your amp, because your amp becomes part of the compressor, how cool is that? No need for batteries / power supply. Absolutely no active electronics. As pure a tone as can be.

    Show off your rig!

    and teamed with my old Peavey which I liked significantly more: Damn I love that model! My rig.. I call my tone the Pawn Shop Tone. Daisy-chained Traynor Bass-Mate YBA-2B 1975 (top) and 1972 (bottom), 1971 Frankenstein Harmony H25 with D'addario tapewounds for some thump and a...
