I have an svt 4 pro, and I run it mono bridged with an SWR Goliath III 410 with no problem. I prefer the punch I get from the amp used this way. In order to damage the speakers, you'd really need to turn it up ridiculously loud.

Do you mean the 62 original + the ultra jazz?

I hadn't thought of it this way, good point. I guess I wish then that manufacturers would put ultralight tuners on at the factory.

No I was wondering why they don't make the top horn even longer than they currently do. It seems like it would reduce the ubiquitous neck dive issues.

I'm wondering why they don't make the top horn longer on bass bodies in order to help with balance and reduce neck dive? My experience is mostly with fender basses, and most if not all I try have some degree of neck dive. Wouldn't it make sense to make the top horn extend to maybe the 10th...

Thanks for the input!

I'm looking for opinions or experience with how DiMarzio DP148 Ultra Jazz would match up with Fender Original 1962 P Bass Pickup. I've already installed the 62 P bass pickup in my fender jaguar modern player - would the ultra jazz work well with it?

I recently bought a fender modern player jaguar for $350 that was made in china. Amazingly, the neck, which appears to be quarter sawn, is as good or better than any fender neck I've ever tried. Frets, intonation near perfect, no buzzing with low action. I don't love the jaguar body because...

It's pretty unconventional, but you could try stacking a monitor like Yamaha sm12v on top of a single cab. Plug them both into amp, which gives you 4ohms. The audience will hear mostly the bottom cab, and monitor on top can point right at the back of your head so you can hear yourself...

Thanks! The Gator GC-Bass does look like it could work.

It is 34" scale with basically a jazz neck, but the body doesn't fit in any molded p/j type cases. Ideas on a case that might fit?

I don't know much about 32" scale basses. What brands and models are out there for the average joe to purchase? Are there good ones in the $1k range?

Okay, so I tried the fatfinger on some basses, and in every case it seemed to just move the deadspot down one semi-tone. I'm starting to get the feeling that maybe every 34" scale wooden neck bass has the deadspot, it's just that some people are less sensitive to it. I mean, every neck is...

I think it is in the same spot.

I just tried putting fender original '62 precision bass pickups into a modern player Jaguar bass. I had to bend up the edges of the bottom bass plate in order to fit them in the pickup cavity. Is this unusual that they don't fit? This bass has a P/J pickup configuration. Does having the J...
