    Sire Bass Club!

    I have one of the 2015 Sire V7 5's and it is time for me to replace the foam for the pickups. They stopped responding to any adjustments and would like to rectify this. Would like to get the foam that has the springs in it that's of good quality. Don't want to have to do this again anytime soon...

    Stuck Sire pickups V9

    Boy do I have two stuck pickups on my Sire V9. Removed all off the screws and both of these pickups won't budge. This was one of their first generation instruments. I don't think they offer it anymore actually. I have a few other Sire's that are also first generations. I am not having issue with...

    Labella Tapewound vs Labella Flatwound tension

    Thanks for that and definitely will be ordering the low tension flats. After posting and researching they seem like the ones. I have had the tapes on the bass for over a year but haven't played that bass out very much. Decided to take it out and play it exclusively for our gig the other night...

    Labella Tapewound vs Labella Flatwound tension

    Does anyone have any direct experience with these two sets of strings. I currently have the Labella black tape wound 750N's on a fretless basa. I love the tension and the smoothness of the strings. What i don't like is the strings feel a little slow to me when gliding like the plastic is causing...

    Passive Jazz Bass. Why is this happening?

    Appreciate the input everyone! Not good with uploading photos. Will have to find a good wiring diagram and see if mine has been done correctly. If not then get my soldering chops back and get to work. Hate to take it to a tech if i don't have to. Seems like it is a bad connection somewhere so i...

    Passive Jazz Bass. Why is this happening?

    Yeah...i noticed when i tapped on the bridge pickup pot it would reduce the volume sometimes and tap it again it would become louder. Same with the jack. Move the cable in the jack and the volume may reduce. Not a scratchy sound but just a reduction in volume. Then went to lower the neck pickup...

    Passive Jazz Bass. Why is this happening?

    I have an older Squire Jazz that i had pickups installed in several years ago. Never noticed this problem when i got it back and have since just had it in the case and haven't been playing it much. Started playing it again and i am noticing weird volume issues. For one, when i solo the bridge...

    La Bella Black Nylon 750N-B vs Thomastik Infeld

    I really love the feel of the La Bella's I currently have on my electric fretless but the sound.... I feel like I can feel/hear the plastic of the nylon in the tone. Also, due to them being tape wound i'm getting buzz at times that was not there before using steel strings. Looking to put a set...

    Fender Rumble 500 Head , do you use one?

    . That is soooo awesome!! Haha. I had been looking at these cabs for awhile and when i read they were being discontinued i scrambled to find one. Well i did. I loved it so much i purchased a second for that outdoor stack. I can not believe how good these 12 cabinets sound. I've played through...
