    String volume balance

    Yep, all the strings follow the neck radius and are 6/64ths E to 5/64ths G. I like the VU meter idea. I’ll try that out and see how each string performs. I may have to look at EQ settings to get things balanced. I don’t have any problems whatsoever on my Jazz bass with totally flat pups though...

    String volume balance

    I have two Squier Standard PJ’s and on both I need to set the E side of the split pups highest (7/64ths) and slope away downwards towards the G to get the E to sound loud and balanced. If I go along with the standard theory (A and D pointing up) everything else overpowers the E string. The...

    Hartke VX115 crossover

    Okay, had the electrics out. Turns out the crossover circuit board is cracked in two places probably due to abuse in it’s past which isn’t sending any signal to the tweeter. In the end I took the whole board out and wired the input jack direct to the 15” speaker. To my ears it sounds no...

    OLP BASS CLUB (Part-I)

    Just acquired an OLPMM2, good to see this club still active in 2017. On the back of the headstock it has a very faint number, looks like H05012C. I'm assuming this is 2005 made in December?

    Don’t End Up Like Me

    Wow, loads of emotions going on. Personally, I think there are two ways of seeing this. Either you're a damn good player who is looking for a pro working band to earn a living (or to supplement your lifestyle) or you just want to play, regardless, as it's always been your life. Me, I'm 53...

    Treble eq not working ?

    Hi chaps and chapettes, I have just acquired a used Vintage EST96 (stingray copy) and although the bass and middle eq's work fine, the treble eq seems to do diddley squat except for a very mild change in tone. My Yammy's eq cracks glasses with ease but there's nothing like it at all on the...
