    Pots'n'caps...

    OK, since everybody wants to pick apart everything I say: why doesn't someone answer his question? I'm tired of the frustration of not being able to say ANYTHING without people nitpicking me apart. You all win... I won't be coming to TalkBass anymore because I don't need the grief...

    Pots'n'caps...

    The resistor and capacitor here are not an LC filter. The resistor and capacitor are in line from the signal to ground. Maybe I should have put quotes around the word "blocks." When the tone pot is at 250K Ohms it is effectively stopping the audible effect of the capacitor.

    That video is showing the caps straight from the signal to ground, so it would be like the tone control is off (maximum treble cut).

    I think it's kind of big. With the .047uF you're at half volume at 600Hz and half of that at 1200Hz. With the .1uF you're at half volume at 400Hz and half that at 800Hz. The last two samples here are .047uF and .1uF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I62Xfhts9k

    Preamps and batteries

    I would say it depends on the preamp and the EQ you are using. The more you boost (especially the bass) the more drain.

    building a ramp

    Cool! :) How do you like it?

    Since the resistor blocks the signal from getting to the cap, I don't think you would hear any difference. Even if you could, you would be counteracting the changes since the 500K resistor would cut fewer highs and the .1uF cap would cut more highs.

    Replace fretboard?

    Yes, it can be done. However, if you find someone who will do it, it will probably be more than a new neck. I'm thinking around $400.

    Rattle.. even the tech doesnt want to know

    It only takes a minute to shim the E string. Why not try it? It's a lot less work than shimming the neck.

    Is this genuine?

    Yep, checks out! Looks good.

    Is this genuine?

    Just saw that the truss rod access is at the headstock. Is that right? I'm checking.

    Is this genuine?

    Looks like the '75 Jazz Bass reissue in 2006. It has an ash body. I can't tell much more.

    Bass under 600$

    Ever thought about upgrading your current bass? New pickups and preamp (if it's active) should fix your lack of high frequencies and it would be cheaper.
