Many questions incoming! How did these differ in sound and electronics, if at all? Is it true that they both came with the JE-2000 preamp and same Jackson pickups and therefore there was no difference? Until what year did the Jackson stay this way before changing? In the early 90s or so...

Very interesting. Which bass sounds like what? How do the sounds differ? Do you have any sound samples at the same settings? Of the ones you have, which woods sound most like the sound in video #1 I posted? And which like video #2? Or can they both be made to sound those ways? Which of the...

They all look identical. But do all three of these basses have the exact same body shape (despite the 3B being a 4-string) or not? That is, front, back, side, etc. all the same grooves, thicknesses, and measurements? They appear so, but some images of the JS3VQ concert bass look cheesy in a way...

Right at 12:30 to 12:40 into this video is the primary tone I'd be looking for. And I'd also like to have it capable of doing this tone if possible (recorded with a Charvel 3B, for the record): So what would be best in terms of preamp, pickups, etc.? Would I be able to get both sounds out...

Thanks all. So, theoretically, if the Harley Benton P Bass was passive, what would be the easiest way to make it active? Also, when finding black hardware, how do I know a certain hardware will fit exactly? Such as tuners, knobs, and bridge?

Can this easily be done for both of these basses (including the knobs and bridges)? Where do you order the black hardware from? How can you be sure it will fit? How exactly do you change the knobs and tuners out without breaking something or screwing something up? Separate question: If a bass...

Same question for other basses that also don't have preamps. If you take the exact pickups they use and put the pickups in another similar bass (with the same wood, same fretboard foot, same neck wood, and same amp/ effects used), you are pretty much going to get the same sound, yes or no? Thanks.

Supposedly the preamp in these is known to die in a short time. Thanks to everyone who replied!

Thanks. Will that allow me to play with different Hz levels and "scoop the mids" and what not? Same question I asked above but to you also. Thanks. And may I ask why such a thing doesn't technically exist? You can't plug your bass into a device that has control/tone knobs and then that device...

Thanks to everyone who replied! Follow-up comments: Tom Bettini played a few Charvel 3B basses with a pick and as a lefty, yup! Good memory. Live footage before or after 2000? Because in 2000 the bass player (and guitarist) left and a new one joined who is not nearly as good, in my opinion...

When recording into a computer or amp. Roundwounds, an active bass, and what else? What HZ is this? Any other details? Thanks.

Noob here. Looking for a preferably small tool or piece of equipment with knobs that you can plug a bass into before also plugging into a recording computer and get pretty much any sound you desire out of it (especially the above two tones; they are my all time favorite). To where you can just...

The cheaper the better. Bonus if also active instead of passive.

Are there other such brands that offer decent or good basses for insanely low prices? Separate question: For Harley Bentons (or other such passive preamp and passive pickup basses): Can we make them active by simply popping in a pair of active EMG pickups? Or popping in an active preamp? Or not?

Are they supposed to look different than traditional Fender/Gibson block inlays? Is there a name to the particular style? Do you agree or disagree that they look funny/off? And if given the choice on a custom Music Man would you pick dot inlays instead of the blocks as they are or not? First 2...
