I recently picked up a Squire p bass as an upgrade project and the stock pick up has a stronger output and more tone than my U.S.A P bass! Has anyone else come across this and want suggestions on "Fender" p bass pick ups to replace the USA one. Considering the Custom shop '62 pick up. Thanks

Could I get some info on how to read the serial# of my Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay to know when it was made?

Corbusier and JimK, thanks for the lists! Its enough to keep me busy for a WHILE and a seems like a strong starting point! Cheers!

I want to learn and play more Soul, Jazz and Funk. Can you guys give some lists/ recommendations of tunes to know?? Thanks!!

That should be the caption on the Poster/ t-shirt etc!!!

He must have really loved that bass to pick up as much of it as he could and ship it down to Florida in hopes of it getting put back together!!

Oh Damn!! I heard of and seen a few stories/pics but never saw that picture!! Should be a poster or something

Awesome, and actually my first fretless bass is on the way!! I've been playing for 20+ yrs and kind of kicking myself for not starting it sooner.

Great Article!! Had heard that he bought the bass of doom unfretted but it's good to "know" it.

Thanks! And thanks for the answer. Rounds must have eaten up the neck!!

New to the site and I have a question about Jaco. As bassists we all know who he was and can easily recognize his sound, therein lays my question(s). Did Jaco primarily use round wound strings or flats? I'm pretty sure that when he started playing; the flat wound bass sting wasn't around yet...
