As a test I twisted a piece of solder around the offending pot shaft and around the volume pot shaft. No more issue. Guess I have some soldering to do today

Yeah, sorry, I meant it doesn’t show any separate grounding for the pot case like soldering it to a bridge ground. That’s what I was hoping to clarify; if the dupont wire ground from the posts to the preamp was all it should have or if the case should be grounded separately as well. If not...

Picked up a Spector NS Ethos HP that has this preamp, and I'm getting radio frequency through my amp when I touch the low mid knob. No issues when I touch the stacked hi-mid/low knob, just that one. The signal is loudest when the knob is at the 50/50 detent, it goes almost entirely away when I...

Lots of professionals use 5 strings these days, but it's still surely a minority. The number is growing though, I imagine. Almost all of the past and present really big "name" bass players use/used 4 strings.

My Schecter was made in Indonesia. I believe some are made in Korea, too. If the price is better at MF than locally, then I'll buy from MF. I'm all for supporting local businesses, but not when it means I get the shaft on price.

There are only three colors for a P bass; black, oly white, and sunburst. So given the choices, I pick bass #1!

I'd buy it for sure... might need a little work, might be a player right away, but I sure as hell wouldn't touch the finish on it. Character!

It just occured to me that all of my basses are black. I need some color in my life! :bassist:

Burtha!

Yeah... forgot the auto image insert thing added the http part itself, so it was doubled up. Grainy pics because the light sucks down there, hope to take some better pics this weekend when time allows.

2000 P bass from the classifieds here on TB! :hyper: As seen with my 2006 Warwick Corvette Standard, also from the classifieds here, and my crapomatic Dean Edge; And all of the bass gear in the jam room; And my guitard gear, just because I had room for one more picture. Extremely...

It might be apples and oranges, but I like apples more. :hiding:

Play the Warwick first. I've owned a Schecter Stiletto Elite and I currently own a Warwick Corvette standard... if you thought the neck was too chunky on the Schecter, you might just feel the same way about the Corvette.

I've considered the NEO. I was also looking and saw the mbx410... is that basically the same cabinet as the rbx410 but with a silver grill instead of black? I don't really care about the cabinets matching, or even about playing the same brand... I'm just concerned with tone and volume. I...

I dunno... a black P with a chrome pickguard looks pretty metal. :bassist:
