I don’t know what my six string had for pups. I never pulled them out to look or mess with them. I had it set up with either Payson Reduced core nickel rounds or, for a few months before I sold it, TI flats I bought through Bassstringsonline.com
Jason will go out of his way if you need a mixed set for the longscales, some were super longs, some regular length.
This one looks to be in that same era. The unmarked fingerboard in Wenge was common. (Drove jam players nuts). Mine was also on its third or forth owner, so I never figured out when it was made. It didn’t matter much, because every time I picked it up and plugged it in, I thought it was the best sounding bass ever. I just had to get through the brain rewire of playing a six string.
Eventually, I decided to get serious about the six string and put the others away. I took that thing to every gig and jam for maybe 18 months. I endured serious “blues jam stink eye”. Totally worth it. Since it sold, I’ve been headed back to four strings. I still like the high C on my one remaining five string.
The blue eqube on mine was a push pull tone knob. It had a huge range of tones between the rotary and the eqube. It had three knobs, no switching, and was passive.
On the theory front, I bought a lifetime membership to Scott’s back when he was starting up. I’ve got so much over due homework....there’s so much...
Money well spent. I loved the chords course. I like the large number of instructors, everybody has something. Hopefully the new website will improve the organization. Most lessons and courses have downloadable sheet music, drum tracks, or backing tracks for improvisation. I hit it a couple times a week if something grabs my eye.
Personally, I find theory kind of dry, so I’m into the style and method books. The Motown Jamerson book arrived this week. No tab, which is fine, but lots to read.
Previous owner had put the new style knobs on it.
). They now will stock Dingwall, Fodera, Ritter, etc. There's more in shop than listed on the site...
