Added another last night, Yamaha BB415, this thing plays awesome.
ME TOO, I want one more then I’m done. Schecter studio NTB purple.That's a beautiful bass. I love red bass guitars.
Was also my first bass, probably why I have back problems now.That was the 1st bass I ever bought. I played it at Central Campus Craze at NC State University back in 1983. This is back when I had hair. Unfortunately, both are gone now.View attachment 7304708

That is AWESOME!! I have never played one of those but I am in love with the looks of them, please tell me they don’t sound good lol. I’m curious as to adding the passive options.View attachment 7306275
Here's mine. I added a active/passive pull switch to the volume knob and a passive tone control that works continuously. I have it strung with heavy gauge EBCF strings and tuned to Eb.
Beautiful.Have really been in 4 string land lately, but this is still my favorite. Need to adjust/build my existing pedal collection to complement it a little more.

I'm in the process of making this modification to my bass. My service rep at Sweetwater, Bob Mondok, modified the original wiring diagram to show me how to do it. I used paint to clean it up. It uses a push/pull volume pot as the switch. You are basically removing two wires and adding four wires. You can just re-route the existing tip hot output connected to the jack to make this a little simpler. Here's the diagram:

I was looking for this forever. All I had to do was ask Bob Mondok, the best service rep at Sweetwater, possibly in the world. Once he recommends the pot to...
Beautiful Bass!! I can relate, I pretty much stay on a 5, But my 6 would be my Favorite. I was going through ALOT of bad times in my life, wasn’t even playing or practicing the bass when I bought my 6, hadn’t picked one up in 8 yrs but I happen to be in A music store when I saw it and I bought it, it sat for another 2 yrs. I’ve just recently picked everything back up after 10 yrs. But yes my Peavy is my favorite.Have really been in 4 string land lately, but this is still my favorite. Need to adjust/build my existing pedal collection to complement it a little more.

That’s impressive, I hope to be getting one one day, I really want a five but a four will suffice. Like I said I’ve never played one but knowing this is great. Did the upgrade do everything you wanted it to do?I made a thread on this mod:

I used a 0.47 orange cap. I made a wiring diagram and posted it in the thread. As I recall, I used a diamond tip bit to make the hole for the new pot. Drilling a new hole was the trickiest part.
But the EMGs are aggressive pickups. This really let me tame them when needed for the song.
Here he is!This dude showed up at my home in Nashville but I am in L.A.
Back tomorrow for the unboxing! Fender JMJ Mustang purchased used from a MONSTER pro player! Can’t wait!! Stay tuned.
