In summary :
. a gutted Yamaha BB604 in natural satin.
. Fender Single Coil Noiseless Jazz neck + bridge pickups.
. wired in series to one CTS A250K volume pot.
. 473J capacitor soldered across output.
. modded nut strung w/ B.E.A.D. stainless steel rounds.
Material info :
. rigid Alder body.
. straight Maple neck.
. clean Rosewood fretboard in 34" scale.
. 24 frets in good condition.
. die-cast tuning machines.
. heavy-duty, chunky-bottom bridge.
Rugged Outlook :
. well used, w/ typical signs of knocks and rubs.
. scratches, dings, buckle rash, stains on body + neck.
. 5 ugly exposed holes on body w/o pot or switch.
. spots, rust, oxidation on chrome surfaces.
Distinct Output :
. just the volume knob, straight-forward concept, plug-and-play logic.
. unique tone subjectively similar to some Standard Jazz having one S1 switch engaged.
. capacitor hard wired to reduce unwanted twang and noise.
. higher volume output due to pickups wired in series, passing extra bass+mids while retaining some treble.
. more perceived low-ends than a typical JAZZ sound and yet has a little more pealing than a PRECISION due to pickup type and position.
. more like a rhythm machine, or so i thought my role of a bassist in my band should be.
