OK OK.....it is a "passive tone knob".....people would complain that they lost some tonal control when they went passive on the basses....this knob is SUPPOSED to only work when the pre-amp is in passive mode but mine worked in both active and passive when I first got it....

Carl Pedigo said that was not possible since it was not "hooked up" that way....but I showed him that it did...kind of a "push it to 11" effect....adds a little more treble etc. in active mode

anyways - when i had it refinished, he 'fixed" it so it only worked in passive mode ("The way it was MEANT to be" according to Carl).....I told him that I never play passive and wanted it to work in active as well....well, He gave me that "oh god!" look and his eyes rolled but then he did it...he is ALL about customer service!

I have only seen them on humbucking CHI equipped basses to date....Ed Friedland has one on his 44-07, Markus has one on his 44-07 and I believe there is one on the 44-07 that Matty has (had???).

so...long story - hence seperate post!

So what does it do now? Replicate the Tone control on a passive P or J, whilst in active mode?

I want one (always have wanted one for active basses). Can't decide if I want Carl's version or yours, though.

I haven't taken any photos of the Sheff. However, here's a few of my 55-02D.
Nice :) Cherryburst is the way to go on a 55-02D, I think (the transition between body and quilt top doesn't always look so good on a plain finish).

Now why, oh, why did I not bid on that cherryburst 55-02D fretless on ebay last year :rollno: (oh yeah, I had this idea about holding out for an unlined one).

Andy
 
Yeah, I guess a 30-year would be... uh, pricey. Bowmore makes a 25 that costs a mint. Lag, I don't know about.

Yeah, it was pricey but it will be worth it. I nabbed 2 bottles. I could have bought a nice lakie instead, but I can always buy a lakie that's nice....they are all nice....a 30 year old scotch...a little harder to come by. They had a 60 year but I couldn't take out a second mortgage from Scotland.

My fretless 55-02D is an amazing bass.....the ebony fretboard kills! I have the barts in it.

I agree!

Like many colors, photos just don't do them justice due to lighting and other conditions. The translucent back is quite nice too.

You may get another chance. This 55-02D may be hitting the block soon - it's in like new condition to boot. However, this one didn't come from eBay. It was from Craig's List out of TN. I've been told I can keep one at any given time. <-- She makes the rules...

I can only attempt to comply...:rollno:
 
Shadowfax has the passive tone knob too, but it's located where the humbucker/single coil switch would be...

And... it's funny, but I swear I can feel Carl rolling his eyes over the phone lol!!

His "eye roll" is interdimensional....it crosses dimensions!!!

I'm actually legitimately saving my money right now :P
I can see a new bass in my future come Christmas time :D...or maybe sooner if I'm lucky :cool:

Also...love what you did to the 2nd one!!!!!

I will believe it when I see it........

by the way that Invalid Link Removed is giving me major GAS :O!!!


Also the Teal Green..ouu la la!

ah ahah!!!! a weak spot!!!

adds "Dimension"....adds depth

I want one (always have wanted one for active basses). Can't decide if I want Carl's version or yours, though.

Andy

They are one and the same....there is no "Doude" tone control....like "Markus Orange" (I am not so lucky!!!) But I can tell you that is adds to BOTH active and passive tone...but Gecko5 (John) does not seem to like it....see his post on the LOG!

good question!!!!

Yeah, it was pricey but it will be worth it. I nabbed 2 bottles. I could have bought a nice lakie instead, but I can always buy a lakie that's nice....they are all nice....a 30 year old scotch...a little harder to come by. They had a 60 year but I couldn't take out a second mortgage from Scotland.



woah!!! 60 year????? I am glad you saved a Lakie to buy a scotch (as long as I partake!!!!)

Maybe it's just me, or I'm biased by my love for P3dulla Bu2z basses... but when I think fretless, I think Barts. That's why my 55-02 fretless has SC's old Barts in her.

Its only a matter of time before the patulla Buzz gives way to the lakie perfection!!!

Well, Chicago is not only home to the best bass builders, but now it's home for the Stanley Cup!

Congrats to my Chi-town brethren of the LOG!!

THANKS MAN!!!! I am sooo psyched!!!! even though I am in Iowa right now!!!

The Inca looks soooooo much cooler in person.


it sure does!!!

As most LAkie colors do!!!!!!!
