    "J" pickups discussion and comparisons - PART II

    Hello! I am thinking about new pickups for my old jazz bass. The one I have is special jazz bass, although I don't know what so special it has apart from this greasebucket tone. So, the sound is pretty dull, even with both pickups full open and tone full. I was thinking about Aguilar j pickups...

    Coronavirus discussion thread - NO POLITICS, or "POLITICS by PROXY"

    I live in Finland, some 4000+ cases, less than 200 dead now. Where I live, south east Finland we have only 14 confirmed cases... I live in the most isolated place on earth because no new cases for 2 weeks now.

    Better Guitarist: Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughn?

    For me, I think Jimi had more influence on everything.

Yeah, I know I may think about small things...

    How often do you change ur roundwounds?

    I use 2 Jazz basses and use them as one at home, one for playing with the band. I have tried many strings from Roto to D'addario to Ernie Ball to Fender to DR strings to Dunlop. I play the fresh set with the bass used with the band. When the tone gets bad, I take this bass home, take strings...
