For context -Give this a view: Beefheart on Letterman - YouTube Captain Beefheart on Letterman. Mental Illness turned cult icon. Hell, Igor Stravinsky, John Cage & Harry Partch made bizarre music too. I appreciate all of it.

I tried searching 1 5/16 nut jazz but the search engines only responded to nut & jazz. I was looking to see if anyone else had a bass with a 1-5/16 thin nut like this Jazz copy I have. How do I use numbers in the search function?

Any idea country & decade of this bass? I have a bass I disassembled '88-'90ish that is supposedly an Asian Fender Jazz COPY. The nut is 1&5/16" ad the heel is just under 2&1/4 at the widest. It has only one pickup - a stacked white pickup in the middle position. the control plate has...

I have asked a member of an unrelated forum who is in the Netherlands to investigate the status of the company that makes the Bassmute. If he is able to shed any light on this problem I will post it here.

I prefer The Hapeless Arse!

Now "Mourning Amy's Inner Thigh" made have been cool!:p

Thanks. Using half rounds and not slapping. The question was mostly to address the the treble gain. Perhaps the treble section's components can be swapped to a more mid-range response.

Got two amps? Why not just stereo output it? Neck & Bridge separate. Build a Rick-O-Sound box Rick-o-sound: Moving in Stereo « Mikerophonography Balance it at the amps. That will give you loads of control. On the floor you could blend neck & bridge to have one amp 60:40 neck to bridge...

I have a 70's P/J with EMGs. It has a 9 volt in it but supposedly can handle 18 or 24VDC. I am considering adding a 2nd battery. That said, Anyone know if a Jaguar bass can handle more than the 9 volts it was designed for? The treble pot really doesn't seem to add a helluva lot to the sound -...
