Hi everyone I used a VPN and Google Chrome to translate the specs of Fender's Made in Japan Series from japanese to english and made two PDFs (basses and guitars) I know that sold new these are exclusive to the japanese market, but they are starting to become available on the used market, and...

Thanks for the replies everybody! I guess Hi-fi and "scooped" are two different things. :) I'm gonna try the Kent Armstrongs. They sound like my cup of tea!

Can you please recommend me some passive pickups for Precision bass with a "Hi-Fi"-sound (lots of bass AND treble, scooped mids) I currently have installed the DiMarzio Split Ps, but I don't think they have enough treble and low bass.. (Active options can also be mentioned...) PS: I also have...

Hehe. My username is quite old. Although I'm a big fan of Jamerson, his sound is not what I'm after in this case. :-) Thanks for all your advice, CL400Peavey!

Thanks for your opinions about Ampeg amps/cabs. Very interesting. I've also mostly tried them with Ampeg-cabs. Regarding the FEARLESS-cab: I couldn't find any wattage ratings on the Greenboy-site(s). What is yours rated? Do you play with a single F115, or always combined with another? (I...

CL400Peavey: I guess I like the "Ampeg"-sound, but they aren't known for top end detail.. Have you compared your Ampeg PF-500 against other Class D amps (GK, GenzBenz, Carvin, TecAmp etc.)? How does a pre-amp/pedal sound through the FX-return vs. the regular input? Thanks in...

BTW, it seems 15" speakers are best suited for the "full range"-sound I'm after?

Thanks for the replies so far. Well, regarding lows: I quess I don't want a modern cab with "sub"-lows, but more of a tight, punchy cab for a 4-string. I'm considering buying a used Gallien-Krueger head. I read somewhere here that the new ones (MB800, RB10001) are a little "nice...

Hi I've come to the conclusion that my preferred bass sound is Flatwounds (Chromes) on a passive P-bass with as much detail/"punch" as possible. I recently bought a Rusty Box pre-amp, and I like it, but I find my current amp/cab (SWR 8004 T/O/P with matching cab) somewhat lacking (a little...

Thanks for the replies everybody! Gonna check out the Rusty Box and the Eden WTDI. BTW, where is the best place to order a Rusty Box if I live in Norway/Europe? (couldn't find any on eBay or Musicians Friend..)

Hi I have 2 P-basses, one "old school" with flats and a62RI pickup, and one "modern" with rounds and a DiMarzio Split P. I like both, but I want to see if the Flats-P-bass can "compete" with the Rounds one, meaning putting more treble/drive in the signal chain. I don't want pure OD, I want to...

Hi! Besides the Ibanez RoadstEr from the early '80s, do you know of other P-style basses that come in "vintage" colours (sunburst or natural preferred)? I like the advantage of having more room to place my thumb on the pickup when playing fingerstyle. I'm also considering getting a...

Thanks for the reply, madbassplaya! Any other brands, people? (I've read some good things about Dunlop stainless steel sets, anyone wanna comment?)

Hi I really like the DR "beams", but they don't seem to stand much abuse. I play quite hard and broke two E-strings in two weeks (once playing with my fingers (!), at the bridge and once playing with a pick, at the nut), so I have to find an alternative. So, what's the smoothest feeling...

I see the Alphas are Korean. Are there any american/japanese pots that are direct matches/replacements?
