Not to hijack, but curious about what pots (and cap) you would put in the Squier Sonic Precision, if you happen to know

It’s a good option but the fender pickguard is also a much nicer-looking 3-ply— however, I will check that out. Thanks.

This has probably been answered already somewhere in this thread, but I have a Chinese Sonic P and I just replaced the pickup with a MIM Fender Player II pickup for $50. I like the way it sounds but the tone control is not offering the contrast I would have expected... just a little rolloff on...

I don't think he's actually been knighted.

Okay, maybe I’m missing something here, but doesn’t Tal’s left hand position have everything to do with the fact that they’re playing in Eb? (And that she forgot to bring her five-string.)

Why did the FBI shoot Robbie Robertson anyway?

That’s the FSR Precision with the neck of a ‘70s Jazz?

...Jazz Odyssey. IN JAPANESE!

Is this bass secretly related to the Epiphone Embassy? I sense a Star Wars twist.

Hey, forgive me if this has been answered a thousand times here. A while ago I bought a used Hipshot Kickass bridge that came with one set of brass saddles, put it on my project bass (an old Chinese Affinity), and all was well. Today I swapped a new fretless neck onto the bass and though I've...

Selling my 1981 Ibanez Blazer with natural finish, from the Terada plant (at least according to the internet). These basses are renowned for their beautiful, playable necks, and rightly so. The wood grain on the body of this one is also particular nice, IMO. It's got the normal amount of wear...

You have to remember too that in 1793 the prices of electric instruments were artificially depressed due to electricity not being commercially available until the 1880s. Man, I wish I'd bought a P bass back then.

So are we guessing this price hike is going to hit the Embassys too? They just lowered the price on those by $100 a few weeks ago, so I'm confused.

FWIW, I have a Player (fretted) jazz bass and I put in a solderless 4-band Audere jazz bass preamp, with the stock pickups, and can basically get any tone I want. It did add a bit of weight but it's more than worth the tradeoff to me.
