Besides , rolling across gravel or hard packed dirt is how Roadies were invented hahaha

I thought they were there to round up the chicks when Miles wasn't around to attract them.

At this age and at my level, the only bass roadie is me. And also assisting the drum and guitar roadies, that just so happen to be the drummer and guitarist(s). Not even the vocalist(s) get a break since they also have to help the guitar and drum roadies, which are the guitarist(s) and drummer.

I’ll verify that statement Friday.

Anyone here ever wired a 2 pickup passive with a parallel-series switch like a jazz bass?
If so, what were your observations?

 

[Ringhammer]

I’ll verify that statement Friday.

do I hear “volunteer”?

Yes sir, this right here.
In series mode cuts some highs.
Huge and fat, but still very articulate.
But these pick ups are also quite huge sounding in parallel mode.

I guess I did bad in clarification. Try it with the Tbird humbuckers?

I do have a jazz with that, I like the option

Got the call earlier this week to pickup my 3rd FenderBird (2nd assembled by the same luthier). 2010 Epi body, stock electronics, original pg replaced by a black one and Hipshot Supertone 3-pt bridge. Neck is authentic Fender, dyed from natural to black and fitted with Hipshot keys. Sounds great, plays perfect and the reverse HS gives it a different look. Mike's a happy bassplayer !

Here she is in full splendor.
2nd pic has my 2 other FBs, including the white one assembled by the same luthier (Goth body dyed white, stock pickups). The Silver one I got from the local used market and is the one that started this whole trek.

I seriously need one of those for the mountain house!

 

[MCF]

The Ernie's are only $20 for the set. Basically for rolling across a room. Should work for me.

Yeah. They’re fine for that.

If we’re there in time, sure. I’ll hold your beer.

Love it! I do like a lefty neck on a 7enderbird!

 

[Engle]

That is awesome Irv!

Thanks Marshall! I enjoyed playing the roots stuff, and would do it again in the right situation.
