What a strange choice for them to make. So are you saying it’s a knob style but is notched? So it clicks from from, into middle and then bridge? You physically can not leave the pot in. A position between? Or when you do the sound doesnt change till you get right in the middle? I am super...

Sure DW, there are a few variables in detecting the difference. First is how hard you play. I play pretty hard so the extra headroom and depth of note due to that makes a big difference to me. Also I find especially PUPs like the DC greatly benefit IMO from the 18v as its gives a little more...

Hello Brother✊😇 yes, exactly, the active balance control would give you a “normal” blend capability. So any point between 100% and 100% J is possible. Happy bassing🤌😉

Hey mate, no you get no insertion loss at all using the ABC or ABCx with their active or passive pickups. However you can not use the ABCX with passive pickups, only the ABC and the standard ABC does not play nicely with the X series. I will offer my option only here, it’s not gospel. I...

Hey buddy, no worries! Thanks for the message. 1: I really like a P in the bridge, especially the reverse coil (Spector style) like the 35 P is and the DC in the neck. It’s my taste though. I tend to use the balance between pickups a lot for my tone so enjoy a single or split in the bridge...

Nice one mate! Let me know how you rate the difference. I know for sure you will have a completely even volume across the blend sweep with the ABC, that’s for sure.

Hey mate, not specifically however if you just go on the EMG website and check out their BTC circuit setup diagram you would just use the 25k blend in place in the circuit where the abc is. I usually have the volume last before the output. Blend then tone then volume…..the order of knobs on the...

Hey Chris, Firstly it’s all EMG? All the pots and the pickups? And secondly why do you want to run a passive tone with the active BTC? Most commonly an active bass only has a passive tone for when you switch from active to passive so you still have a control over the tone (usually a high cut)...

Hey buddy You can get a pot from EMG that’s a 25k blend dual gang with centre indent without the op amps in it, it’s cheaper and is fine if you are committed to using active pickups with it. MEC also does one. I use the ABC primarily because once I decided on the EMG pre was going to be my pre...

Hello fellow bassfolk🤟🤓 Ok soooooo, I am what I would consider a now long time devotee to EMG (multiple basses with EMG and also now over 30 basses converted) I have become a bit knowledgable about certain things so I would like to offer some help to those using/considering EMG and even some...

Hello lovelies. Well back at it with my short scale experiments again, This time checking out the Labella White Tapes 760T-S and the Ernie Cobalt Flats 105-45. This is kind of an observation/review/advice/sharing of info type vibe, so here goes. Let’s strat with the Cobalts. I really dug these...

MATE! Nice choice. PB’s on a P bass is a match made in heaven. The best✌️

Hey Stuferino, Yeah, if you do not want to modify the bass at all the DP127 or the DP146 are Killer P´s and then you got the Dimarzio area Jazz pickup as your only option to keep up With the high output of the P´s. Nowa days I am all EMG in all my basses. I am now an endorsee for GnL basses and...

Awesome!! Even though I am a DR string player my fave flats are the TI and Ernie ball cobalt flats. They are both just such different strings. And don’t get me wrong the DR legends or Deep Talking are awesome authentic flats, I just love the original flavour and feel of the TI and Cobalt. Do you...

No worries! I know it’s a bit pricier but these things are built like tanks and all the features, including the rain jacket, are awesome. Good luck✌️

Hey fellas, I had this pickup wired alone and also used in in a bridge position with a DP146 (Billy Sheehan Will Power P) in the neck. I used 500k pots for volume and a Delano pick up blender 250/250k which allows you to blend evenly without any volume discrepancies when panning. I don’t use...

Hey buddy, gator cases are one of my favourite for quality and value. My pick of the bunch for soft case is the G-PG cases. Very very good and very comfortable and light and for me easier to wear as a backpack. Anyway, hope that helps✌️

Alrighty! First time using the MMCS EMGs. Love, love, love! I use pretty much Exclusively DC’s in everything except a couple PJ basses so they have a tradition shape P and J. All basses have the BTC or BTS. This particular bass is a beat up Frankenstein custom build. I was playing only...

Folks, I have to say, although I love what Darkglass does and thank them very much for what they have done for us bassists, but when the hell are they going to sort out their foot switch situation?? Far out. This is the third foot switch to either be delivered faulty or crap out within a few...

Yes! Take no prisonerssssss✌️ Much love for the DC. It’s my perfect pick up. DC bridge, and either Dc neck or P neck. I am sorted. Good night Irene, shut the gate, the horse has bolted and J-D.R.k is mowing them down with EMG DC loaded goodness. happy trails mate

Cool vid bro! That’s exactly the theme music I expect will play when they finally release the truth about the existence of ufos….rather, that will be what will happen in people’s minds as they are blown✌️ The fuzz on the JC was cool but same like the yellow light mode (which is actually classic...

Wicked board brother✌️ awesome. What do you think of the JC wah?? I had it as my main wah for quite a while. I especially love the little trim pot (that’s not inside the pedals like the other Dunlop bass wahs) to control the delay of the shut off of the wah. I really loved it most when I was...

Hey buddy! , great looking bass! The andromeda is the bomb✌️ I never got along with tele shape basses personally, due to the balance of them but it is damn sexy. Ok, flats, all over it mate, I am super into my flats: Vinatge sound: Can’t go wrong with Labella Deep talking flats. Try the 105-45...

Oh yeah? Fair enough indeed✌️ I personally don’t use a compressor to smooth out any dynamic consistency (unless of coarse you count my heavy compressor I click on time to time to get “that “ tone) I tend to use mine as a colour tool. I run two main basses types on most gigs, short scale mustang...

Ok ok ok, so the signal path of my live board as it is in running order: 1: Korg Pitch Black Tuner 2: Sadowsky SBP-2 Pre amp. (Under board) 3: Empress Bass Comp mark 2 4: Walrus Audio Stereo Canvass Di box that’s under the tuner (From here one line goes to front of house or to the mix pult as...

Bassbrad!!! ✌️awesome mate! Really cool stuff, and thanks for posting your gear and details. It’s a really nice piece of kit. I see the Source Audio gear, great choice. I am also a big fan of them and of the TC electronic stuff, especially for live applications. iswapped all my switches on my...

Source Audio is killer, amazing, awesome! But you gotta have the patience and know how to make your own sounds (if you are not blown away by the factory ones that is) so yes, after shock, killer ✌️

Hey fellow Bassheads! How’s it going?✌️ As an avid effect nut, I would like to start up this club and I am inviting you all to join and comment so we can create a font of knowledge for all things Effects. The premise is really simple. I would like us to share and talk about any of the...

Hell yes! Great gear man, bench mark stuff. Those folks at FG are serious about their business, that’s for sure, and I love ‘‘em for that✌️☘️

Completely agree in terms of both the DG B3k and the stand alone DI. Using a separate DI is always my preference. As far as budget friendly and pedal board friendly DI pedals go, I used the Radial stage bug on my fly rig for ages and it’s great. And yeah, before any haters jump in, it ain’t an...

Hey buddy, I am certainly an advocate of the Darkglass stuff and use the B7K as my main high gain and clean/slight drive punch tone. My country mate Jon Stockman of Karnivool was involved in developing the Alpha Omricon and I do love it, But the B7k is where it’s at for me. The DG X, I never...

Are you referring to me mate? If you are It’s actually quite the contrary. G n L turned me on to the EMG DC’s back in the day with the L5500. MFD’s are great pups, love them, but I play G n L because of the vibe and feel of the instrument it’s self. I love “mustangs” and I love P basses. They...

Yeah buddy, the DC 35 is what’s in my Fallout and in that steinberger I would highly endorse buying paring it with the DC, I think you will be very happy with that combo

Yeah man, and if you don’t like it, it’s easy enough to try a different EMG or then try routing for a different t pickup or what ever. The fallout has the pickup in the P position too. But I went for the DC over the P soap bar. But those are my two fave EMGs, the original P or P in the soap bar...

you based in the states? I would do your self a favour and try a DC or one of the active soaps with a BTC control. No routing, no soldering, and there are like 5 or 6 different soap bar options. I don’t think you could go wrong trying that out. That’s my two cents anyway✌️

Man, completely agree, EMG passives are the pits, the worst. are you planning to pair it (MFD) with the original pre amp? I find the MFD run passive (like was the setup in my fallout bass) is still Killer but it’s a little dark. The G n L pre in active mode brightens it up a bit even without...

Hey brother, the MFD pups are bigger so you would have to buddy, the MfD is about half a centimetre wider and longer, so you would have to do some “crafty carving” to make em fit. I got nothing against the MFD pups at all, infact I really like them but EMGs DCs are just my magic “sit in the...

Mate, that sucks if you have had that experience. I have not. I owned 4 back in the day (97-2003) that were not an endorsement and were amazing. I have four at the moment since I became part of the fam a few months back and all are top notch, can’t fault them at all. Also a mate of mine has the...
