An LED can only cope with low voltage, normally about 1.9 volts. Anything more than that you insert a resistor to drop the voltage for the LED. If you have one, measure at the LED with a voltmeter and if over 1.9V then, yes, insert resistor. If not then no need. Worst case scenario though is...

The ES Les Paul bass is probably the one I lust for the most. Coban guitars in the UK sell a 6 string kit which I could afford but don't do it as a bass. Shame.

1954 - not much choice. Gibson were making the EB-1 (no thanks!), Fender the original Precision, a gorgeous bass.

Looks like a Legend Bass, not a bad player but only cost £100 (UK) or so new so, if it is, it sounds really expensive. There are loads of near copies though so could be anything really.Invalid Link Removed

You are right, the tone circuit comprises the whole inductance of the circuit, from the pickup (s), resistor and capacitor. What I meant though is that with no resistor the cap and pickup still remove some of the upper frequencies which some people like in a bass guitar. By adding back the cap...

Something I feel confident to reply to!! The tone control simply cuts the upper frequencies. The thing is though, even set at its least effective, the capacitor is still in circuit so you still are cutting some of the upper frequencies, often what you want on a bass. On my homemade 6 string...
