    Help me diagnose this pickup/alignment issue

    It kind of does, I just don't understand why the E and G strings are both pulling towards the center of the bass?

    Help me diagnose this pickup/alignment issue

    Sorry for the delay, here is a picture- I don't know how to explain it but this picture makes it look LESS bad than it is in real life somehow. Please let me know any thoughts you have, I want to get this thing perfectly straightened out.

    Help me diagnose this pickup/alignment issue

    Lots of relevant information here to put context to my questions at the end, so please bear with me.... I have a 2009 Squier Vintage Modified 70's Jazz Bass with the Duncan Designed pickups. After all these years of owning it, for some reason I decided to try out a new set of pickups even though...

    Effects Settings to Replicate Tool (Justin Chancellor) Tone?

    Alright, so I will be playing some Tool songs at a small gig soon- I used to have a very complex setup that I could use to get a pretty good Tool bass tone. Alas, times became tough and I sold almost all of it... thankfully, I kept my Boss BF2 bass flanger. The only other pedals I have are a...

    Squier VM 70's Jazz

    I just picked up one of these basses (the natural wood color with black pickguard, and pearl block inlays with maple neck) off craigslist for $140 in practically MINT condition. Apparently these basses go new for $300 and I love the feel of a jazz bass but have never owned one so I purchased it...

    That's a road worn P bass

    What P-bass? All I saw was a gorgeous blonde rockin' out

    Good funky pedal effects?

    MXR bass envelope filter or any good wah pedal will funk up your sound bro

    Bass fuzz

    I recommend the EHX Deluxe Bass Bigmuff Pi. Not the regular bass big muff though, I wasn't a fan and sold mine. For some reason the deluxe sounds wayyy better. Plus it's got lots of other useful features. After having tried several fuzz pedals it definitely came out on top for me.

    What is your favorite pedal on your board and why?

    ^+1. I also use a BF-2 and it adds something to my tone that I can only describe as epic.

    Morley Dual Bass Wah

    It should be a blue square that is standing up, with a white circle in the middle that you can turn with a small flathead screwdriver. It should be on the middle-left side of the pedal.

    What is your favorite pedal on your board and why?

    EHX Deluxe Bass Big Muff Pi. The crossover lets me have two entirely different tones on tap. Without crossover is a kick ass fuzz, and with crossover is a more gritty, trebly distortion that sounds less like a fuzz and more like a hardcore distortion. Also the built in noise gate, blend, tone...

    Morley Dual Bass Wah

    Oddly enough, I discovered that myself today online without looking here but thanks man! I did that too. but the only problem I have is that there is still a noticeable difference in tone. It's like the bass pauses for a split-second, then returns with uneffected tone. Maybe its just me being...

    Morley Dual Bass Wah

    I just got one of these and I really like alot of things about it. It's built like a tank, easy to use, the regular wah is great for distortion and the funk wah is great for anything else. The only thing I don't like is the noticeable difference in tone after you finish "wah"-ing, there is a 2...

    NBD Squier Vintage Modified Short Scale Jaguar

    I don't have the short scale but the standard scale VM jaguar bass and I agree, for the money, the tones, playability and overall "vibe" of the bass rivals that of my more expensive basses. I also played a fretless VM jazz and couldn't believe how nice it was for the money. Unfortunately, alot...

    EHX Bass Big Muff Pi

    Received the deluxe bbm today... played with it for 3 straight hours and found so many tones I like that it was almost overwhelming. This thing blows the regular BBM out of the water in pretty much every way. The noise gate is awesome and the crossover is just nuts. I was getting a tone very...
