Done:-

Electronics completed today with a push pull pot in the neck volume position to change series and parallel.

Just looking at the pics of a very nice build, the line I have quoted above has me puzzled given that it is a single pickup bass with a staggered single coil pup.

As the redhead from Queensland famously said many times " please explain "

Yes it is daggy....noodling and yapping too much.

Phone camera and mic.....Roland BASS 120XL amp....Flip Top amp model...EQ at 12....1/4 gain, 1/2 compressor, 1/4 volume, 1/2 delay, 1/2 room reverb.

Sumptuous!!!

Thanks,

I just think the finish will not be that robust. Feels really great under hand though.

Ahh, credit for this sort of behaviour must go to "Weirdy." He put me onto the evilness of splitting the wire from the pick-up closer to the neck and running both wires (extended) to and from a push pull pot. It puts the two pick-up segments, as a P Bass pick-up is basically a split single coil, in and out of series and parallel.

There is a noticeable drop off in sound out of the pick-up in parallel mode.....but I like the roundness of that sound for blues and slower songs.....like an instant tone drop of known proportions....that you don't have to roll a knob up and down and try and find a sweet spot....instant response.

All hail to "Weirdy"the King of wiring. Thanks Scott for all your electronic guidance. Did it all myself this time Dad....

Very nice job. So proud.

If the sound is dropping out in parallel, it may be out of phase. I had the same problem with my Tele. I swapped the hot and earth wires to see what would happen and it sounds much fuller now, the way it should sound. You could try the same?

I am doing the drop on purpose mate. Sorry for the confusion. The two segments of the Precision Bass pickup are normally wired in series I believe. The entwistle pickups come with red, white and black wires......red/white are hot and normally just joined together and soldered to the input on the volume pot and the black to an earth point.....well on this occasion I put a push pull pot between the red and the white leads.

I like the sound and thank you for your assistance.

Thanks for the video. That sustain just goes on and on. Sounds and looks super.
