Many Russian drivers keep dash cams running to deter corrupt cops from pulling them over to extort them. Many, many drivers have them running at all times...

i like the no volume knob approach! "Volume pots are for sissies!" LOL Seriously though, I imagine the tone is a little more opened up and maybe a touch hotter? What drove you to try this?

I have played a p bass where the pickup was direct wired to the output jack and have also played a guitar with the humbucker straight to the jack using a volume pedal as needed. It definitely does something with the passive pickups. Im curious as to your take on what it does with active pickups!

I don't know about Donny's experience, but I can relay my experience with my dual emg equipped Fernandes. it has two P pickups wired to a volume pot and nothing else. the output is hot, but not overwhelming. the tone is extremely open, full range and aggressive. taking extra pots out of the equation seems to give you a little something extra in exchange for a little loss in adjustability.

Jamie ok Iam curious what does it do to passive pick ups?? Learning something new here!!

See first sentence of the post you are talking ab out Tom........LOL. It makes the sound a little more "open and wider" and a little hotter signal...........there is some kinda buffer in pots i think? But I'm NOT an electronics guy. I'm sure someone on the thread can speak more to that than I.

LIMA how sdoes that One Spector sound with the two jazz pick ups?

Good question.
Now that I have an NS-2 and an NS-4, the next logical step for me would be an NS-2 double J model.
I believe JPS posted some sound clips of his awesome twin-J "Blue Dream" bass a few threads ago - maybe we could convince him and "The Godfather" to post some clips of their beautiful & unique double-J Spectors.
