If you don't mind me asking, why?

Ok, so I'm definitely installing an Audere preamp and it will have the 6-way rotary Z-mode switch. The question I've got is - extra knob or stack bass/treble knob?

This is a bit like my bass would look with an extra knob for the Z-mode switch:

You also have to imagine mini toggle switches where the small black spots are.

I'd really rather have an individual knob for each rotary-type control but I don't want to clutter things up to much.

What do you think?

You folks know that I'm putting an Audere preamp in my 55-01 and now I'm also considering replacing the MK-1 pups with Norstrand Big Splits.

Are these pickups going to sound significantly better than the MK-1's in your opinion?

I would hope they would for $250 a set, but I've heard of people buying expensive pups only to have them sound just a little better than the pups they were replacing.

Yes.

Nordstrands are the premier botique pickup being manufactured today.

Nords, once installed will provide a dramatic improvement over MK-1's...

Whew! I would hate to spend all that money to have them sound the same!

I just scored my Audere 3ZB preamp for $125 shipped, knobs included! Audere 3ZB, 4-band, black knobs.

I did want to go with the 6-way Z-mode switch but I just couldn't pass up that price since we were most of the way to perfect. Now I'll be able to afford to put Norstrand Dual Coil pups in there if I want.

The only problem I've got now is that this preamp needs four control holes and I've got five. I've got to work out a way to make the Z-mode mini toggle switch work in one of the potentiometer-sized control holes.

Just a washer between the switch and the plate will do that.

Good call! I know that Audere preamps come with rubber rings in case the pot shafts have a smaller diameter than the control holes. I'm hoping I can use one of those for stability.

One step closer...

I'm looking for another 5501.

Natural and maple (a twin to my current 5501).

Mint condition.

I want to put Big Singles in it with a Sadowsky pre...

I know!

Do you like my new fretboard markers?

[Supertanker]

They're, they're beautiful?

 

[Chef]

Seriously?

Nope, not even a little.
Hey, you asked.

Just kidding.

I figured it was time to learn the notes I didn't know yet so I labeled them all on the fretboard with removable stickers.
