Alright thanks. Anyone else?

Yeah I get that, I just feel like it has more smoothness and sustain than I can get with just my p bass, which led me to believe it is either uber compressed or electronic.

I am currently recording this song and am going to try and get my bass sound close to the original. Here is the video of the song. I'm really not sure what is going on here. It sounds like it's very compressed, and is possibly being slapped and popped. I'm not even sure it's a real...

+1 for sunbeams. Ernie ball stuff has felt really coarse IME. After playing flats for awhile, any roundwound set will feel slightly uncomfortable, but you should get used to it in a week of playing or less.

Thanks for all the responses everybody, I think I should just invest in a couple of decent studio monitors after all. Though I am on a budget, I figure I should just spend the money, because if I get a good set I'll be using them for a while, maybe most of my life even. Will most decent...

I've been doing some home recordings, and before I mix and master my tracks, I want to make sure I'm doing it right and getting a true representation of my mix. I know mixing on my computer speakers or in cheap listening headphones is hazardous to mixing, and I was wondering if that is the case...

Learn new songs that you like.

Personally, one of my favorite looks (for a jazz bass and otherwise) is getting off-white covers for both pickups.

The new neck looks good on the jaguar. That seems like it would be a good bass after proper mods, because I've played it and felt like the preamp and pickups were severely lacking. The neck is really nice though, and I like the matching headstock on the red model.

I forgot about the D tuner, thats a good one! and its always debated how much the bridge affects the performance of the istrument, so i havent fiddled with that to much yet. I too am also interested in jaguar mods.

What are some of your favorite fender bass mods? Some things you like to do to make your Precision bass or Jazz bass that much better. Exclude obvious string changing, pickup brand replacing, etc... I'll start with mine P-bass: Install bridge pickup, humbucker or jazz bridge cover If...

The way I see it, (and I view most of my bass tones like this) is that there should be a good amount of low end, not too much, not too little. thats the part that the bass player has to cover because its his job. Once thats taken care of, the real character of an amp and a bass is all in the...

Okay, so in all these opinions, all-tube heads are the glorious things people claim they are. That's good news. I see an Orange AD-200B in my future possibly?

Okay, I believe you guys, I just wasn't sure if their was really any issue with the tube power amp section. I figure somebody looking for a tube tone would dig an all-tube head much more, the downsides being reliability/maintenance and expense? Thanks for the info guys.

Just a really quick question. I was talking to my brother, who's a bit of a guitar gearhead, and much more technologically inclined than myself. I was talking about buying a new head, and was wondering if I should bite the bullet and go all tube, or just get a tube pre amp and solid state power...
