That’s what my client looking for. He wants the MM pup only for whatever it is he’s doing. I get these wild requests from him often. Last year he had me outfit his lakland with an MM pup at the bridge, so I’m just guessing this is what he likes

Yes! Both of those are exactly what my client is asking about. I wonder how hard it is to route on those for the MM pup

that is a cool one, but there again, my client is wanting the pickup closer to the bridge. Like the music man stingray style. I like that one so much that I may get it for myself lol

That’s not a bad idea! I may have to do that instead of finding a completed build

You know I did run across this post on bonanza and have thought of getting that for my client and doing all the stuff he is wanting. Bad part is that I hear bonanza is a scam site so I’m a little unsure on it. As far as the pickup configuration, my client is pretty much just looking for that...

Oh and I did forget to mention on that reply, I’m looking for the pickup placement to be more toward the bridge if there is a similar bass found. Even color can be different because I think the person that will be playing this bass will have me repaint it. I wouldn’t know how to redo pickup...

It’s similar but not quite it. The headstock shapes are very different on the shine and the mysterious bass. The F hole shapes and sizes are different, and as you also brought up, the pickup placement. This shine bass reminds me of the Douglas SBP 1100H. This is a cool one though! Hopefully we...

So I’ve been looking for a semi hollow bass. Gibson es 335 style 4 string with a MM pickup at the bridge. Well, I found something. I’ll post the link below, but here’s where I need help. I found this bass on a google image search. Contacted the company to get more info, no luck. Contacted...

I do think it’s safe to say that I may have gotten a lemmon lol. Oh well. Maybe I can get in it if I can find a schematic, and maybe see if I can repair it, or it could just be the nature of the beast. I do appreciate all of the comments and help. Truly strange but I’m glad for forums like this...

Well, the tube screamer was made to push tubes. My ts808 sounds awful on solidstate amps and not useful at all without tubes. Though that’s with Guitar. I’ve never put my ts808 on bass, so I don’t know if that’s true or not with solidstate bass amps. It’s pretty common knowledge though, that a...

Gotcha. I may check out the fulltone bass drive. I’m not looking for it to get full on distortion or fuzz, but just a subtle edge of breakup kind of sound with a dramatic mid hump. I use my wren and cuff pickle pie b for big distorted/fuzzy tones. I do like a clean blend that’s built into the...

Same here. I may just keep it as a computer pedal lol. Gets those phish sounds on Guitar I like

Just plugged up to my divided by 13 and it makes high end fart noises with Guitar too! Lol. That’s so strange. I wonder if the previous owner had this pedal modded for solidstate or something? Or maybe the pedal was broken. Oh well. It was $30 lol

Well, the amp gain and tube gain are at 8 o’clock, the master is at 11 o’clock. The gain on the pedal is at 9 o’clock and the level is at 11 o’clock marching unity gain. I’ve got everything set low on gain so that’s not the issue

Well, the bass and treble are set at the center stop. No cut no boost. The amp is set bass at 11 o’clock, mids at 12 o’clock and treble at 2:30. I did just replace all my preamp tubes thinking it was a tube lol. My bass is a Mexican standard jazz bass. Bartolini b-axis j pickups. Maybe this...
