Flatwounds on a Fender Jazz Bass

Take a look at the new strings. These Rotosound RS77LD Jazz Bass Strings were recommended by Greg at World of Stings. Thanks Greg.
Click on the pictures to get a better look.
The feel is better than the round wounds that I had before. There is more high-end (twang) in the Rotosound strings. I like to dip out the high end with the bass’s EQ though.

New Jazz Bass Setup
November 1, 2007 · Leave a Comment
I just got my Fender Deluxe Jazz bass setup. There were some minor adjustments and I had some flatwound strings put on. I tell you more about it when I have some pictures to share.
Pictures make things a little more interesting.
Have a safe Halloween.

Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe Controls 1
July 30, 2007 · 1 Comment
Some would say there are too many controls creating to many signal paths. I think convenience outweighs the slight change in signal. I enjoy being able to adjust the tone at the instrument. I can use an amp I know nothing about, flatten the amp’s EQ, adjust my tone at the bass and get the sound I want.
The controls have become a convenience while sharing an electric amp with an upright bass. The amp volume can be set up for the upright bass without worrying about changing it back for the electric.

Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe
July 25, 2007 · 2 Comments
This is my American Fender Jazz Bass.
It can get a good volume thanks to the active pickups. There are two.
One is closer to the neck and the other is closer to the bottom (bridge) where the balls of the strings are. The active pickups cancel hum and provide a clean loud sound. I believe the pickups have an oscillator. This oscillator requires power to cancel the hum.
I try to keep the battery in mind when I leave the instrument. Leaving a cable connected drains power from the 9 volt battery. I have developed a good habit of unplugging the cable when I am not playing.
Hum is not fun, but tone controls are.
I’ll tell you more about the tone controls later.
