Haha - you'd know! Like you said, great tone - the overdrive channel is awesome. Did you ever use a footswitch with it?

I never did. Never had the need to.
But I can imagine it being pretty rad?

Nice amp Giggsy! ?

It changed the tone so much, I love it.

Glad you're happy with the amp. It's a killer little thing that.

So I decided to take the plunge.
I bought some Dimarzio Ultra Jazz Pickups off gumtree.
I took the Dimarzio's and the humbuckers out of their casings and fitted them in the stock covers. Covered the other side of the pickup so you can't see into it.

I tried to leave the other side of the pickup stock so it would still look like the stock pups, but the new pickups still picked up the magnetic field or something.

All in all, I'm a happy camper. New tone is amazing and I'm really enjoying this bass now!

Guess it's time to start trolling the interwebs for a wiring diagram then..

Thanks.

Yes, it is.
"Four-position rotary pickup selector switch delivers a potent quartet of pickup combinations (full middle and bridge pickups, full middle pickup and bridge pickup outer coil, full bridge pickup and middle pickup outer coil, outer coil of both pickups)"

I found this online. Seems like a good idea, just a pity about the price.

Hi everyone.
Here's the Bass in question.


I recently bought a Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass, and it has 2 humbuckers, not the standard single coil pups.
I could resist it's super thin and easy to play neck. But with that came a sacrifice.. I've lost my desired tone.
I have a Sansamp BDDI and it scoops more than enough of the mids on my old faithful first bass, a Cort Action (Which has P/J style pups.)
I always played on the Split coil pup only.
This Fender is a passive bass.

So here's a question.

Is there any way at all that I can modify the pickups/Rewire the tone pot/or anything else to get the mids cut more?
They don't scoop enough even playing through my Sansamp?

Any help will be appreciated.

I was at the Centurion one. They didn't anything even close to 50% off.
They simply said they never received the stock that went on sale at the other shops..
I did see a Stingray bass with the special price though ?

Sweet, will do.

Just letting you guys know that it was a mixture of cheap cables and a damaged kettle chord..

All fixed ?

Now it's time for a Tech21 Sansamp Bass Driver ?

Come to think of it, i couldn't find a new kettle plug type power chord, so i dug one up in the garage.
It has been joined, maybe it's not providing a suffient amount of power the amp/cab needs?

Thanx :-[

Hope it's not something major..

Hey guys, i know this might be the wrong section.. Sorry.

Anyway, on to my question.

I recently got a bx4500h Head and a BB210 Cab (both behringer) from a friend.
I use to play guitar so this is my first bass amp setup.

I played it on monday at my friends house and it sounded decent.
Got home, plug it in and set it up the same way just to find that it makes this horrible scratchy distorted noise.
with all the tones, volume and gain turned way down it still shows the limit light. Even when i try cranking the volume up it doesn't go louder, and keeps making this sound.

Could it have something to do with the way it's wired at the back? Which is pretty straight forward according to me.

If i understand correctly the cab is 2x10 speakers and 8 ohm. Which equals 4 ohm. The head is also 4 ohm so i don't see that it could be a prolem.

I have an Active Cort bass and i have tried using the active and passive jacks to no avail.

Please help
