I just put these on my Spector Euro 4 and to be completely honest, it sounds better than the nickel DR Lo-Riders I had on it. Lots of growl, tons of definition, and a nice mid-heavy sound...not to mention a loss of clack that the DRs seemed to have. However, like the previous posts have...

Well...this take on bass surely has worked for Pete Wentz. I was watching Palladium and came across a Fallout Out Boy concert and wouldn't you know, he was strumming all of the strings throughout an entire song. You have to sometimes wonder what kids look up to these days when it comes to bass...

I've seen more import basses come with American electronics and American parts (tuners, bridge, pots). Parts-wise, they are pretty damn solid. I've played a handful of Fernandes, LTD, Ibanez and Schecter basses and for the most part, they have a solid feel and great tone. In my opinion, a...

I ordered the 14-65 set for my baritone. Although it's not a bass, I'm extremely curious how low these can go, while still maintaining a comfortable feel and tone.

I use Chromes on my Peavey T-40 and GHS pressure wounds on my Spector and fretless Peavey Foundation. Prior to pressure wounds, I've been using DR Nickel Lo-Riders for a few years, and a slew of other round rounds in the past. I like how pressure wounds take the best from flats and...

Look into a Musicman Sterling 5HH, seeing how it has a more aggressive tone than the Stingray, but still maintains that Musicman tone. Check out this video:

As the links have suggested, flatwounds on a P-bass are amazing. It's such a classic tone that can fit into so many genres, and there's a reason P-basses with flats haven been used for all of these years. Honestly, I'm not much of a Fender guy, but this combination with a rosewood board would...

I'm looking for the following parts for a Peavey T-40: -Neck with rosewood fingerboard, preferably in good condition and no warping/damage. I'm not interested in a neck with a maple fingerboard, seeing how I already have one of those :D -Pickup ring in one piece. I'm not interested in...

I'd go for the Spector. The B string is amazing (might have something to do with the 35" scale length opposed to the normal 34") and they are really comfortable to tap on. It's definitely a versatile bass and given the music you play, it'll fit right in. However, I highly suggest installing a...

I use GHS Pressurewounds on my fretless (VFL-equipped Peavey Foundation...I honestly forgot the year) after using Fender tapewounds and DR Nickel Lo-Riders. Pressurewounds have a great in the middle sound to them, while retaining the best characteristics of rounds and flats. They sound great...

The Fender Deluxe Precision Bass Special (damn, that's a long name!) is a really, really solid bass. I was getting at a passive, possibly American made Fender PJ production bass, with the Precision neck and all of the new features that isn't Tony Franklin's signature. I mean, it's a fairly...

To be honest, I'd love to see a reissue. A lighter body would definately be a plus, and maybe a rethinking of the wiring. Personally, I rewired my T-40 so the phase switch (pretty much useless for what I play) is now a coil-splitter and the tone pots work like every other passive bass. The...

Fender just needs to make a stock P/J that isn't a signature model. I know they came out with the Hot Rodded P-Bass 10 or so years ago (and unfortunately discontinued it), but I'd like to see a regular production model.

Just don't turn the Spector all the way up :D
