This is the closest answer I have found so please allow me to pick you brain as well. I recently got a GFS p bass pickup, it had no sound in bass so I wired it directly to a jack. There is no sound when I touch the poles with anything metal however there is a slight noise when I touch the...

Okay, so stupid question maybe...what would make this pickup dead as far as sound? The stock one I pulled out worked, then the GFS had no sound, then I wired in a bass humbucker just to check and it made scratchy noises through the amp from the screwdriver on the poles so I know the pots are...

That's good to hear actually. I haven't dealt with any pickups that were loose before. The ones on my strats and tele's have always been stuck good and the other p bass pickups I have used fit snug enough they didn't come apart but then again I didn't try to pull them apart either.

I tapped them with a metal screwdriver, both pieces all poles and nothing...then plugged in another bass to make sure it wasn't the amp. They don't seem to have any potting on them, the poles/holes are perfect, there is just nothing holding the covers in place and they fit loose enough that the...

I have used their guitar pickups and had great success. I got my first bass pickup of theirs last night, P bass ones and I ran into the same problem - the covers are quite a bit bigger - like 7-10 millimeters too big in both directions. The covers also fit very loosely so it was a pain to get...

I am looking into a P bass pickup, still a month or so out but after reading this I am really interested in these pickups. I have a dean guitar that I have a set of his 500l/500xl huumbuckers in and the quality is absolutely amazing. It took me some time to get used to them because they are...

Read most of this and stirring my anxiousness and energy....I want to play live...I also realize I need to practice a lot more first!

2 - Encore music man style - nicer than any others I have tried of any brand Silvertone P bass - traded a 5 string Ibanez thing that I couldn't get used to for it (but I have only been playing a month) 4 electric and 1 acoustic guitars though - so that either goes for me or against - I don't...

However, yes, if the vocalist wants to be a rap MC and the drummer thinks he's in a Carpenters cover band, you WILL have problems. Or you will end up with a RHCP cover band.... This is a very informational thread. I have been playing guitar for a while, could handle rhythm duties, and...

I have learned so much by reading this thread, can't say I read every post as I just found it tonight but it's been helping and I realized I found some of these things out through playing... I played to backing tracks while watching TV, then just muted the tv and kept playing and realized I...

You can't hate the guy - even if you're not a metallica fan... I dig him for the Infectous Grooves/Suicidal Tendencies work he did - that stuff was awesome. I just got the strings, haven't played them plugged in yet though because I am still working on the electronics.
