This is a different bass. The microphonic pickups were on my RB950 which I left at the repair shop yesterday. This is the '77 Ibanez Artist I snagged off eBay.

Yeah, I can agree with that, Laz. I have a Birdseye Maple neck from Warmoth several yrs back on a Pbass I put together from them, and have been all about them since then. It "eyeing" is really nice. Too bad that it's becoming harder to get such a piece cause of it becomig in shorter supply. And to get such a neck like that now, it'd be considered a 3A, and more expensive.
No, are you getting the same noise with different basses now? Weeding out problems 
. Also your artist is wired correctly, it should do exactly what it's doing that you described.

I didn't even check to see if I got the same noise with a different bass but the guy at the shop said my RB950 was definitely microphonic.
And dual single coils are supposed to do that? Ok then. Wasn't sure. Only issue that I have with it then is when the bridge volume pot is turned on all the way sometimes it cuts in and out. Think the pot may be bad.

Gibson's due the same thing like both volumes are a master volume, that's why their is a switch. And bummer on the pups. And just spray out the pots that might clear anything else up.
Makes sense then, as this is the first "Ibanez" model Ibanez made after the lawsuits, modeled after the Ripper.
1- ebony boards (though i don't currently own one)
2- rosewood (my p5 and fretless j)
3- maple (my sr5, which i am unenthusiastically trying to sell)
4- pau ferro (this was a fretless sr5, not enough mwah).
it's funny, you'd think this would go from hardest to softest or something like that. i think a lot of it is which bass sounds and feels the best.

I'm sure it's taken, but Hypnotoad is a great bandname.
Maybe Servants of Hypnotoad? Cult of the Hypnotoad?
I'm going to see Flogging Molly tonight, supposed to jam with a potential new band tomorrow, and then immediately after have my annual work party (open bar!). I'm getting too old to have this much fun.

Only the finest Columbian frogs, I know a guy, his name is Lando Griffin. He gets the best around town.
Nice! Used to be a big irish punk fan. Still am I guess, just don't listen much. Been on stage when DKM was playing a few times
This video had me cracking up! If they talked a little more about which big muff variant was best, it would be straight from this board!
