    Replacement pickups for PJ bass need to be 'matched'?

    Thanks for your responses. The strings are about 2 month old Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky's. What do I need to look out for when inspecting the wiring?

    Replacement pickups for PJ bass need to be 'matched'?

    Hi guys I have a Yamaha RBX170 PJ bass that has served me incredibly well, however recently, the pickups output has dropped significantly. So much so that I can't even get my amp to clip even at full gain (Ampeg PF350 if that's important). Anyway, the bass used to sound great but now just...

    Looking for a cheap wet/dry blend pedal

    Looking for a cheap wet/dry blend pedal

    I've just bought myself a EHX Russian Big Muff and it sounds brilliant but when I'm in a band situation, I haven't got enough low end to cut through the mix. Most bass-specific overdrive pedals have a built in blend pot so I'm looking for a separate pedal to do this for me. I've looked at the...
