NOBD - Ibanez SRX500 à la Wimbish
Bought this pre-owned Ibanez SRX500 over a month ago. Could not complete the pickup and control modifications until the kill switch volume pot arrived.
From top to bottom, the controls are;
Shadow SH124-25 Kill Pot master volume
EMG-ABC Balance control (old, soldered type)
SD/Basslines STC-2S-BO Bass EQ
SD/Basslines STC-2S-BO Treble EQ
Pickups are EMG-35P4 and -35J. I am happy with the -J. Might change the -P4 for another -35J.
The NOS old-type (soldered connections) balance pot turned out to be for the best. It made the integration of parts from three manufacturers far easier than the modern modular solderless items would have been.
The inspiration for this project was the Ibanez DWB Doug Wimbish signature bass. This should give a rough idea of how it sounds.
For any case sniffers out there, silver Tolex = Rickenbacker, tan Tolex = Fender AVRI. The poor Ibanez currently lives in a generic gigbag.
