Thanks everyone. Caca since you had one, did you get it new and were the pickups working when you parted ways?

Anyone want to share their experience with a 1979 Ibanez MC 900 bass and given the active electronics, is this near 40 year old model, opening up an electrical can of warms? Are they known to be noisy in active mode, and if they require some work, even if not immediately, assuming parts can be...

Any suggestions appreciated. I want a Jazz bass neck (1.5 inches at the nut), a P-bass body (I just can't get comfortable with the offset waste and lower horn on my leg when sitting with a Fender J), J-bass pickups, at a price $700 or less that gives me the sound of a J-bass. I've tried G&L...

I have a new Squier Classic Vibe 50's Precision. I replaced the original pickup with a Seymour Duncan Quarter pound SCPB-3. Sounds great but just started noticing that there is a static noise when I run my finger up and down the pick guard from the volume knob up both horns and touch the...

I'll be sure to help others with questions I know the answers to!

I apologize if this is a repeat question(s), but I'm relatively knew to the forum. I recently bought a new Squier Classic Vibe 50's Precision. I am considering replacing the stock pickup with a Bassline SCPB-3. My question is when the new pickup is installed (I would use a professional who...
