    Thoughts re: Yamaha TRBX304 Upgrade

    Another option looks like Bartolini's M44C - those are 4"x1.5" and are designed for 4 string, but they're passive and I've never used Barts before (EMGs are my go-to). Not sure what I would do for controls with those though.

    SWR Black Beauty Problems - Reuse Cab

    Hi! Quick question for anyone who has had an SWR Black Beauty... I've got one here that seems to be on its way out; the passive input jack no longer works, the sub-octave no longer works (light will turn blue, but no magic), and lately it's starting to get crackly and distorted on the sound. I...

    Pickup Advice for Fretless Squier/Flatwound/J Retro 01

    Hi guys! Been reading this forum for a long time, first post here. Question about an upgrade I'm considering to a Squier bass that I love. I defretted it and refinished it completely, put a lot of love into it. I love the bass itself and the feel of the neck; right now it's using stock...
