I spent a couple hours with it yesterday and heres a few things I noticed: -With bridge 0/neck 100/tone 0, the tone does go ever slightly muddy when switched to series but otherwise i cant tell much of a difference. This is weird to me because the series switch cuts the bridge pot out and...

Master series switch is installed, ill have to wait until tomorrow to crank up the amp but so far i like the sound, although at low volume both pickups in series sounds very similar to neck pu only. I did have trouble getting solder to stick to the copper foil, maybe its too thin to get hot...

I though this was a "somebody bought my bass and sold it for more" post, thats a different kind of story though, and though the seller shouldnt care what happens after they sold it, i think in your situation you have a right to be irritated by that. That was a dirty way to try and make a buck...

Lol yep... at least i know it truly is " hand made" lol

Wow I didnt think of that but it totally makes sense, it would convert the wood fibers around the screwhole into a sort of micarta-type material right? Great tip, thanks!

Really? I didnt know that, 800 is a bit big for my use... but its better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it right? Y'all are a bad influence lol

Ill add that the shielded pickup wire you would use does not need to be coaxially symmetrical. You only need coax for things like rf signal, and in those applications the impedence of the cable itself may be important for standing wave ratio, none of which would be applicable to guitar pickups...

Looks great, awesome solution instead of replacing the fret!

Thats what i was leaning towards... thanks! Yeah Im not sure i will like it either, but if thats true no one is going to make me pull the pot when i dont want to worse case is i wire it up and rarely use it

I just bought this two weeks ago, I love it! The vintage switch is awesome with my dean on the neck PU. Im already wanting to upgrade from the 40 to the 100. My bass has been in storage for a couple years, I pulled it out due to a new regular gig need (church music). Last time I played bass...

Does Cauc-Asian count? Haha kidding, Im also new here, I joined for the same reason. Good luck on getting your questions answered, this seems to be the place to do it!

Would you have been happy with making the sale if you never knew he re-sold it? If so, I'd move on... lifes to short to hang on missed opportunities and hindsight is a thing that only helps you in your next endeavor, not the last one. At least you made your sale. The lesson is free if you...

Im reviving an old dean edge 1 passive HH (VVT) with stock pickups, and i want to install a push/pull switch for some tonal variation and flexibility. My first inclination after 2 days research is to install a master series/parallel setup just like they do on SS j basses. However i havent...

Here is the bridge installed. I like brass so i went with brass screws to match the saddles... this should be fine right? Also, the G side screw went into the ground wire channel so i had to install a longer screw. It sounds the same to me but i kind of like the look.

Had this bass for 19 years... well i did sell it once and traded back for it a year later... anyhow its been in storage for two years and the stock bridge was bent when i took it out. About 10 years ago or so the screws had started to pull up from the soft basswood and i replaced them with...
