Rewired my jazz bass. Followed a scamatic from stu Mac and now my tone control is backwards. How do I fix this issue?

any sabbath tune will do, as they were a blues band, orginally...

hasnt geddy lee been getting that nasty midrange sound with his fingers and a jazz for years now?

First off, my dad plays guitar and when he was a kid, he said it wasnt so much, if you can afford a Gibson or a Fender, it was were you good enough to play a Gibson or a Fender. I play a squier, its my main bass. Havent had a regular job since the start of the summer, so I'm saving up, hello...

Ok, the way I read your post it sounded like all of them were going out. You sir saved me possibly a good deal of money.

all best buys music? I was at my local one last week and there wasnt anything about closing

Forget "stick it out" The second best bass solo the man ever played was on this bass! Why dont a bunch of us split the cost and buy it together.

In theory, it shouldnt because the XLR is just like an output to the cab. Just instead the signal going to the speakers it goes to board. I really dont see why. But, from a recording stand point. A clean DI signal and a wet mic signal could make for some fun sounds.

Ive got that head, and when I play out the soundguy takes a DI signal from head and I still get stage volume. I dont believe the head has an effects loop unless they added that on to the new heads. You always give it a test recording.

Couple weeks ago, Guitar World said that Iommi said that he was in the studio writting with Geezer, Bill and Ozzy for a new sabbath ablum. About 2 days later Iommi came out and said that was not true. Today on Sirus radio (boneyard station) They said that Ozzy wasnt at the premiere of his movie...

thanks guys.

Thanks MM. Right now im planning on looking for a new band but sticking with them until i join something new. Because if all else fails, this band could still be better then no band. Its sad considering that during the writting parts I'll play a riff and its all loved, but once its arrangement...

not so much the 16 y o calling shots, its the guitar play. The singer and guitar player are brothers, and the longer ive been in the band it seems its really "the brothers band" and me and the drummer are there to back them up. But its really weird considering the band was giging 12-14 times a...

I've been playing in my current band for a little more then a year. Shortly after I joined, we got a new drummer and for the next 2 months we rehearsed 3 times a week and wrote about 3 good solid songs. We played our first show in july, then keep rehearsing and played 2 open mic nights in sept...

A hard rock song needs a foundation along with a melody. Its really hard to judge how "good" a bassline is when its only the bass and drums. Because of the interplay between the drums and the guitar. It sounds cool, but would even be more interesting once it has a guitar track over. As a start...

alright, thanks guys.

After reading a thread about guys who sanded the backs off their Geddy basses, I thought about maybe doing that to the body of my jazz bass. Just enough so that the doesnt look so damn shinny. I know from reading here that the MiM and the squiers have that extremely thick almost plastic like...

I've had a Badass bridge on my Jazz for years and previously on a Ibanez. I am an EXTREMELY agressive player. I did not file grooves on the sattles. By doing so, the strings themselves make their own grooves and in a location they are being naturally pushed into and not forced into.

Honestly,to someone who didnt know thats not Portnoy drumming you really wouldnt know, I'm unimpressed with this song.

I got the Squier VM fretless jazz right after they were introduced (4 years ago) its been my go-to bass for all but 2 bands ive played in during this time. I did the typical jazz bass upgrade years ago with a Badass II bridge. But a few weeks ago my bass started to buzz and hiss alot...

Thanks guys, but I tested the knob on the pot and the knobs dont fit on the pots...... This repair/project ended up costing me alot more then expected and having to replace the plate (another 20 bucks plus shipping) if i mess it up and then getting new knobs(10 bucks plus shipping) would end...

I got this bass back when the VM was introduced(2006-07). I've been wanting to swap the PUs out for years, the past few weeks theyve been extremely noisey. What would be the easiest way to open the holes on the control plate? The pots got (All Parts 250K) are BARELY to big to get through the...

I've got a Squire VM fretless jazz and about 2 weeks ago it started to feedback and extra hissing(besides the typical single coil hum). Through process of elimination I found out something was wrong with both the pickups and the bridge pot. So I swapped out the pickups and bought new pots...

I am a big fan of both. I've seen Rush 4 times, front row in front of Geddy. I saw DT over the summer. I started as a Rush fan, and later got into DT. Geddy Lee is the reason I play the bass and why I pushed myself to play at that level. DT in my mind is Rush generation 2. They both are amazing...

did more research..... Those pots are tiny! Would I have a problem with the batter in the carvity? And whats the difference between the PJ-X and the PJ active? Besides 20 bucks... Also how hard would it be to change the output jack because thats the wrong kind of jack? No my bass...

I'm not two sure if the cavity is large enough to go active. I don't want to have to cut the bass up for this.

I'm looking to up grade the pickups in my Ibanez GRS 200(the starter bass that was sold alone) This bass is when there were still passive. I wanted to know how are the EMG PJ Hz passive set? I was looking for a better low end reponse, puncher mid range and crisper highs. Any surggestions reccomended

As I Am is a simpler DT song also A Rite of Passage Don't try Pull Me Under It's a struggle a points You'll only learn chunks and not the whole thing.

Every bassist is different. Is there a book out there that says If you play bass you need to do this, this and this other wise your wrong? No, Do they play different? Yes Is there technique unconventional? yes Wasn't Jaco's bass playing unconventional? Yes and everyone loves him for that...

the Ibanez SR are thin narrow necks

No picks what so ever. I play 3 fingers about 80 percent of the time. And thumb

Go for it. Take a shot at if it is a blast to play. Nothing really need to add to what's been said but get and play

The BC where the first Dio era(heaven and hell, the mob rules)

Got my tickets for the Orlando show. I took you got front row too? I was woundering the drummer was with him and had a thought it was the guy from the Bass Day 98 DVD

OK so I learned something! I was hoping that article would be some help.... Guess not

The sg bass on page one is a Jon Birch, the bass from the op is possibly teh Dan Armstrong

I got this straight from a issue of Bass Guitar with him on the cover with Ian Hill(Oct/Nov 2004). And I quote pg 54 We'd come from Detroit to Toronto, and when we got there, I found that somebody had smashed the neck to bits when it came through customs. The promoter knew this guy who had a...

Correct, VP was the first Rush album he used the Sansamp RBI. Then for SA tour he went to the newer RPM

Thank you for the information. I got to use my new rig a rehearsal today. Sounded great. I probably get another cab when I save the money up.
