5 is my magic number ‘68 EB2 ‘74 P Custom Shop ‘66 US Geddy …and my fave, a Mexican Nate Mendel P

I don’t disagree with you but I will say that my Nate is the bomb. Neck is like butter, frets are fantastic, nitro finish is great. Of all my basses, it’s the one I always want to play.

I haven’t some quality basses that I use in the studio and at clubs but the one I gravitate to the most at home when nobody is watching is a cheap red Mexican Nate Mendel P bass.

This weekend I spent some time on my pf-20t rig. Swapped the speaker for an Eminence Beta-15A and my tubes to preamp V1: JJ 5751, preamp V2: Mullard 12AX7 and a matched set of Tung-Sol 6V6GT power tubes. Sounds quite a bit warmer and less sterile. Honestly I think the speaker swap made the...

It's a little boomy now. I am going to add some dampening to try and help that. Minimally looking for a better speaker as the tone feels to sterile.

Yes, they don't fit the modern protaflex heads.

I was in a very similar situation to you - v-4b and 212av. My modular solution that I have been very happy with is a BassRig Super Vintage->Quilter V803->Barefaced 210. If I want to warm it up a little I bring my Noble DI. I have never felt limited or disappointed in the tone after leaving...

I have an Ampeg PF-20T paired with an Ampeg PF-115HE cabinet and am trying to get as close as possible to the tone of a '64 B-15 with the double baffle. I have switched out the tubes in the amp and thinking about switching out the speaker to either an Eminence Beta-15A or the Eminence Legend...

Thanks a ton!

I have access to a PF-20T head and was thinking of pairing it with a B15N cabinet from Fliptops - B15N Double Baffle Cabinet - Product Details Does anyone have experience with this combination? Looking for any feedback, but specifically if the head would clear the speaker.

After shoulder surgery I struggled with long scale for 6 months. Got a JMJ Mustang that was way more comfy and had great tone. The other one that sounds great is the Sandberg Florence. https://reverb.com/item/91284963-sandberg-florence-bass-short-scale-soft-aged-british-racing-green

When I am recording I want flexibility later so run A) a DI straight from my bass, B) into effects, into amp into another DI, and C) mic on the cab. Usually in the mix it ends up being 60% from B, 30% from C and 10% from A. The affected DI is usually the tone I want but the mic makes it feel...

I have an ‘03 American maple fretboard, ‘22 USA Geddy and a ‘15 Japan rosewood fretboard and favor the Japan(blue one). I did put Custom Shop pickups in it. I had a Japanese Geddy years ago, but the neck was too thin.

Great feedback and a thoughtful response. Pretty sold on the T-Bird pickups and I have a few Jazz basses that already don’t have original parts…seems like a good move. I did find a wiring harness that I think is more appropriate… Gibson Thunderbird Bass "PRO" Wiring Harness! CTS, Switchcraft...

Thinking about putting some Lollar Thunderbird pickups in a Fender Jazz and would like to use a concentric knob control plate. The pickups state this info: Recommended Potentiometers: 250k Recommended Capacitor: 0.022μF The control plate states this info: 1 control plate, 2 Chrome/Black dome...
