Fully clockwise at 10, the spectrum is full and flat. As the controls are backed off, the spectrums of the appropriate pick-ups are foreshortened. (Roll-off 12dB \/ Octave). The dominant tone character varies, therefore, throughout the entire range of control. Pulling up the knob produces a quasi-parametric boost of about 10dB to the harmonics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 99.9197%; height: 78.3808px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 40.8635%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.9478%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eVery good  7.75\/10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 40.8635%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003eCase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.9478%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003eHiscox HSC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 40.8635%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.9478%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e9 lbs 12 oz \/ 4.43 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 40.8635%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003eSerial Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 58.9478%; height: 19.5952px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eW2194\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58211576971646,"sku":null,"price":7995.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/7882\/2974\/files\/2S5A4351_bbe63889-9479-433d-88d5-0b7dad3822fe.jpg?v=1791927982","url":"https:\/\/www.andybaxterbass.com\/products\/1983-wal-custom-mk1-elm-facings","provider":"Andy Baxter Bass \u0026 Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
