    Crazy idea for a pickup - wondering if possible

    Hey guys. Came up with a crazy idea for a bass pickup - take 2 split P bass pickups, cut the screw holes on the sides, fit them both in one humbucker cover and wire them with positions like this : 1) Full Musicman-style humbucker 2) Split P Pickup (disabling the other P pickup and making it a...

    Explain "Your style"

    Being the singer/songwriter in my band in addition to being the bass player adds a lot of character. For more melodic songs I tend to go with chord fingering/strumming or a bit of tapping to give it more of a "piano" feel, complimented by the guitar and vocals. For heavier songs I tend to switch...

    Hey guys. I have a stock 62' reissue MIJ Jazz bass, and although she feels amazing, I want to upgrade her pickups to something with a more "edgy" tone, while keeping the ability to have that mellow stock sound as well. My playing style and writing style shifts from heavy, pick/fingered treble...

    What's the point of fender?

    My personal reason - Because the left-handed G&L's are ugly AF.

    62' Reissue vs American Standard jazz?

    Hey guys. I'm going to get a (VERY long-awaited) jazz bass soon, and my call is between the MIJ 62' Reissue or the American Standard one. I only tried the American one, since they don't have MIJ here in my country, but the MIJ is quite more affordable, and as someone with a Japanese Mustang I...

    Looking for a Left handed Aerodyne jazz bass for about 600$ , need help

    [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Price - 80,000 YEN with taxes , which means 75,000 for international buyers since they don't pay the Japanese tax , or roughly 650$ Shipping is 14,000 YEN, so let's round it up to 90,000 with shipping , which makes a whopping 780$, give or take.

    Looking for a Left handed Aerodyne jazz bass for about 600$ , need help

    Actually they've been selling them brand new for that price for as long as I can remember. And yes, shipping included. Trying to sell a collector's road bike that's been sitting on my balcony , that should be more then enough to pay it. (I only use my mountain bike anyway :P)

    PJ VS Standard J configuration (Aerodyne vs 62' reissue)

    Yeah I think I'll stick with the Aero, thanks for the help man :) Oh and being left-handed and the band's lead vocalist, I think the bass will be the center of attention no matter what :P

    PJ VS Standard J configuration (Aerodyne vs 62' reissue)

    Ok, got it. Currently rockin' a beat up GSR200 I've had for about 4.5 years now, ever since I've started playing really (rarely use the active boost though). I like to jump between fingers and pick, depends on the song, and I'm a really dominant player that needs a good presence with his sound...
