for me it used to be T-40’s. But now at $800+ I’m no longer considering that a “bargain”. But foundations and fury’s seem to fit the bill at the $350 range. I used a fury to try various PUP variations and ended up with my favorite P bass ( Bill Lawrence pups ). It was VERY much an...

This is my 1981 T-40. Bought it in ‘81. Still play it. Although I normally play 5ers now. And I have some alternate T-40’s or others to play out so my original is not put in “harms way” very often! I played and borrowed lots of basses back in the 80’s … but bang for the buck … I liked...

Sweet! My 69 has been fantastic. I don’t know that much changed from69 to 71. Great find!

This is great advice. Cutting rather than boosting will save ur ears! I keep bass out of my IEMS. And use my bass monitor. And dial everyone else down to a pleasant low volume mix. It’s great. Cutting others down so you can hear only what you need is on point.

Damn! Just stumbled on this pic. This is going to mess with my head for a while! Nice collection. I thought I loved Peaveys ... but I am not worthy!

I have a buddy with a 75 P w/ BA 2 bridge. I love that thing as is! I would recommend playing it for a while. changing pups to find ur favorite tone. I put Bill Lawrence in mine and love them. I had planned to restore refinish my '69J ... but I'm glad I never did ... I just put on a new...

Wow! Great looking bass. Don’t have a PJ at all in my lineup. I can only imagine that sounds great.

kodiakblair nailed response. I have several original MI USA Fender Jazz basses. They're great and I like them. And some people like to see that Fender logo on the headstock. But bang for the buck I'd take a USA Foundation hand's down. I have several foundation 5's and a whole group...

Sorry! I guess I should have been a member since 1981? But I didn't know this club existed. I'm old ... and probably not smart enough to navigate this site/forum properly. Over the years I've gotten great info from this site from crazy smart members. I learned about compressors almost...

I completely agree!!! The T-20 is great as is. I really like the foundation stock pickups. And to me the T-40/45 and cirrus needs to stay unmolested. I've heard good things about the EMG Geezer ... I had planned to purchase those as well to see how they compared with the BL. (I wasn't...

I normally like everything stock. But for whatever reason … I wanted to test bill lawrence pups prior to upgrading a pricey fender. The fury was basically brand new old stock. Mint. Still packing and case candy with it. Once I got those pups installed and played it a few times. I sold...

Well ... the patriot I used to play frequently ... but I gave it to a "youth" that was substituting for me on occasion. He still has it and I think still plays it when he's not playing guitar. It sounded and played great ... if I ever stumble across one that plays well I'd jump on it. I...

Some 800rb love here (there's plenty on this site about 800rb's) ... I play through a house system usually so my 800 rb sits unused at the house most of the time. But the last time we played in a gymnasium ... I brought my swr henry, 800rb and an mb-200. We a/b'd the two heads during sound...
