    Anyone know a source for a matt black pickguard for a 5 string American Pro P bass?

    I've got a brand new in the package black three ply pickguard for an American Standard P5 that I could be talked into letting go for a decent price. I bought it for my American Pro and just didn't make the swap. Hit me up if you think you might want it.

    Kiesel Guitars: P Bass-- Anyone tried or own one?

    I had a walnut PB 4 that I loved after I swapped out the stock pickup and replaced it with an EMG Geezer. Played great and was well made. I only sold it to finance a new neck for my '95 Jazz.

    What Should I Do With My Peavey T-40? Mod?

    Maybe you could leave it alone and save all of that modding for another bass in your arsenal. T-40's are a unique bird, enjoy it the way it is.

    2005 Fender American Standard Precision Bass stock pickups: What are they?

    Until Fender started putting Custom Shop pickups in their basses around 2012, they used to install what was called American Standard Pickups in the American Standard basses. I just consulted the owners manual that with my '95 American Standard Jazz, and I don't think they changed anything from...

    Anybody gig with a Carvin PB5?

    I gigged a PB 4 for a while and liked it a lot. It was a nice enough bass, but to me that particular model Carvin ( and it was still a Carvin) isn't quite as refined as say a Fender American Standard. There's another guy here that gigs a PB 5 and he seems to love it.

    Do you Mod your Fenders? And why?

    I have a '95 American Standard Jazz that I bought new. Since I've had it I replaced the bridge with a HMV because I wanted to string through the top, replaced the pickups with Aguilar 70's, swapped the white pickguard for a white pearl one, and very recently replaced the neck with a 2014 Fender...

    New Basses Day

    The tort guard really does a lot for that bass! Congrats on the new toys.

    Peavey Grind Question

    I had a five string Grind eight or nine years ago. It was a nice enough bass for what I paid for it new. As stated previously, the stock electronics are pretty mediocre. The one I had did have a nice low action and was fun to play. I would imagine that there are a lot of them out there, but...

    Fender American Professional Series

    I gave my American Pro Precision V five months with the stock pickup. At my gig last weekend I swapped between it and my G&L LB100. Whenever I went to the Am Pro I had to crank the gain on my amp a bit to get it to where the LB100 was volume wise. I finally gave up and had a Nordy NP5F put in...

    Fender V-Mod P bass pickups

    I've had similar results with my Am Pro Precision V. I don't want to return mine, but I'm probably going to put a Nordy NP5F in mine and see if that helps.

    My latest (and possibly my last) sets of Dunlop Super Brights Nickel

    So I bought two sets of Dunlop Super Brights .40-1.20 from Bass Strings Online. Both sets came with E strings whose tapers won't clear the nut on my Fender American Pro Precision V. I contacted Dunlop to tell them my tale of woe and they sent me a very nice email asking me to document my...
