Thanks guys,
i've adjusted the pickup heights to have the right sound with them working together. Only problem is a overall volume loss. As soon i lower the volume of one of the pickups the volume goes up.

If i remember correct, the Model G has a resistance around 17 + ohm while the J is less than 8....

I finally got the bass wired and set up. I used a 500k pot for the model G.
Only thing that bothers me is the loss in volume when the two pickups are full on together. I know it's a common problem with all two pickup basses, but the loss here is much more than in the J basses i used to have. Does anybody know if it's because there's a big difference between the wiring in the pickups or did i do something wrong??  :-\

I love his perfomance with AC/DC at Donnington, great drummer.
I've seen them live 4 times with Rudd, he always played Thunderstruck in a horrible way. Cant' wait to se them this summer.

Wow guys, thank's a lot, you're giving me a lot to think about....i guess thats why i've always stucked with one pickup basses....  ;D

My intention was to dial in the bridge pickup only when i use the Model G in single and try to get a Jazz-a-like tone out of it all. On the bird, in single mode, it sounded more similar to a single coil P than to a J neck pickup, more clanky, nice for sure, just not ......Jazzy
I could try a 250 or 300K pot on the Model G...just to try....

Ok...so i'll just go with the second diagram.

I have a 500K pot for the G and will get a 250K pot for the J, will i get noticeable more highs when running the G in single with the other PU, or will there be less audible difference since there's no tone pot?

Guy's, i'm moving a Model G from my Fenderbird to an SX jbass.
I had the pickup wired to a DPDT switch to use it in parallel/singel/serie. Now i would do the same on this bass but i'm installing a bridge pickup also, in the hope to archive a J-like sound. I'm not sure of the wiring so if anybody could help me before i get other components i'll be thankfull.
My doubt is that, in the attached wiring diagram, without the second pickup, the hot wire from the Model G goes to the side socket:



while in the other, with two pickups, it goes to the central...:



PS: no tone switch...

That's sad, they expected him to join back for the next tour, but obviosly it isn't so. The new album was recorded with his nephew on rhythmguitar who's also going on tour with them next year.
Last album and last tour, sad Malcolm didn't make it.

I've found a US made Ampeg sv15 and an ashdown vs212 elsewhere... i'm mostly open to the 2x12, as i like 12" remembering the Marshall cab, but i can't find much specs on the Ashdown and many people say's a lot of good thing about the sv15 as a stand alone cab.......could i only try the two side by side...

I've heard bad things about the Ampeg 212AV, wouldlove to try one out. I've thought about Avatar too, but i'm in Italy, the shipping from US would kill the deal....and i would be charged 22% extra in taxes..  >:(

I've also been thinking of a 1x15, but am afraid i would loose something in sound and just be boomy...I know, you need to try the cabs...

Damn...thanks for the response guys..
I agree the best thing is to hear the cab..which requires having the speakers and i have to admit i don't understand much of diagrams and parameters.
I think i'll just leave the 1922 alone and start looking for a cab.

So next question  ;D have any of you guys tried the Ashdown VS 212, 2x12 (the red one they made for the little bastard) or the Rootmaster 212T (also Ashdown)?

I've looked at the Ashdowns, remembering they had a nice sound back then when they came out and you find them cheap used...
