The Bass Zone / fender flatwounds-shortscale
« on: September 01, 2008, 02:30:55 PM »
Anybody ever cut a set of Fender long scale flatwounds to fit a shortscale bass? They are only made in longscale--I just wondered if the outer wrapping is stable as on roundwounds, or if it would unravel???

Don't know for sure, but I think Danos are only made in limited runs, and when they're sold, they're gone till the next run...my guess is that they are licensed out to a Korean jobber...

At least in my instruments you don't have controls for the separate pickups--one is volume the other is a tone cap / both of these affect both pickups--this is from the Danelectro history page---if it helps...cutting and pasting this was about the limit of my computer skills...

 Both lines came with either 1 or 2 pickups, concealed under a baked melamine pickguard. Concentric stacked tone and volume knobs were used on the two pickup models only. Notably, when both pickups were used together, the tone was much stronger. This was due to wiring the pickups in series, instead of parallel like most other maker's two pickup guitars.

Not sure of the mechanics, but I read the series thing in a Bassplayer review---said the decrease in volume when switching to a single pup was because when both were on, it was in series.

I'm more of a musician-type so I can really only tell about the tone...both is good'n hot / bass only is o-k / treble only is useless far as I can tell...it's real close to the bridge so it sounds kind of anemic like a capped Rick bridge pup.

Seems like I remember reading something that said they wired the pickups like that because for some reason it allowed them to use that cheap little toggle switch as the only switch for all of their guitars and basses????

I bought one, and liked it so much I bought another---really light and fun to play---

They do fingerstyle, pickstyle & slap pretty well--within kind of a unique framework---kind of "Rickish" sounding--a little hollow sounding, but yet Fenderish also.

They also set up within what I call "professional" specs--i.e. I'm kind of picky, and they set up well.

I generally use them with both pickups on, as it is quiet--since they're in series, the volume goes down significantly when you use only one of the pickups.

My son just bought a Nemesis N15--200 Watts/one 15" speaker 45lbs

1.  Anybody ever play through one of these??? He didn't really ask my advice first....

2.  I see they have a 200 Watt model with 2 eight" speakers---would eights even be enough to gig with??????bet it would sound tight...

I am always stunned by his power and passion...not sure if he could pull it off if he wasn't able to convey that passion in his playing.  His voice is kind of an either you love it or hate it thing---I have grown to love it, but it took years...thanks for the review.

51 in Cincinnati, and I still gig--only thing I've noticed is that weight has become a major factor when choosing gear.
