Looks clean. My plan was to buy an HH pickguard and basically use it as a template to trace out the part to route, but I might go your route instead. What's the edge-to-edge distance between your pickups? I haven't decided on a wiring scheme yet. I've done a variety of different things on my...

I was worried about that. I'll make sure to look at the harness and verify that I can do what I want before ordering any parts.

Thanks for your response! Are you saying the position with both pickups/all coils sounds most like a J? And does the position I've circled in the attached picture sound at all like a P? I realize they're not gonna be exact by any stretch of the word, I'm just curious if its a close...

Good morning! I have an SSBM Stingray SUB4 that I happen to like a lot, but I've really gotten into the sound of the Jazz bass recently. I've been thinking about adding a second pickup/switching system like the factory HH in the hope that the outer half-coil neck/bridge tone might be close to...

That Carvin seems pretty cool, too. I like that you can order it with different coverings.

I really do love the look of the Ampeg B-100R... How do those sound? I love the idea of a non-tonally-colored speaker cab. I also like building things that look pretty. That's what I like about the fEARful. And if the sound quality lives up to the hype, then I won't ever really need to get...

Unfortunately for me, my living room, family room, bar, spare room, AND my whatever are all the exact same space. ;-) Fortunately, I have enough carpentry skills that building a fEARful wouldn't be too difficult. And I'd be willing to increase my budget to fit one of those because it could be...

Wow. That is one gnarly paint job. :cool: Is that a 32 band parametric EQ I see?

YES. THAT. I like the way you think, beans-on-toast. :cool: (although I'm sure those Mesas cost many thousands of dollars...) I'm sure there are a lot of opinions on them, as there are on basically everything. That being said, what is the consensus opinion on them? I'll probably end up...

I agree- appearance shouldn't matter. But to her it definitely does, and I really don't blame her. Our living space right now is small enough that anything we get will be in the living room, front and center. Now, if you've been playing long enough, sometimes you can look at an amp and see past...

Love her as I do, I can't justify spending that kind of money on my own amp, let alone on one for her. (who, again, is a stone cold beginner)

I really dig that. Looks amazing, sounds fantastic...buuuuuut its $3000.

Well, I love the Vox sound with a guitar. She just thinks they look pretty. Honestly, I'm not actually clear on the differences between a vintage vs modern tone when it comes to bass. Vintage=warmer, Modern=more clarity? Could you give me a good example of some well-known songs featuring a...

She has a surprisingly advanced case of GAS...I can't go into Guitar Center without her ogling the expensive basses... "When you get good enough at playing the one you already have, then we'll start talking about $1800 Rickenbackers..." (she picked wisely in that instance, though. I rather...

Agreed on them looking classy. I dig the look of the Fender, though, and I like its potential for smaller performances. I guess my issue is that a lot of the amps I've looked at just look like PA's. Functional, but that's about it. There have been a lot of good suggestions on here, though...
