    Yorkville XM200-TC and BM200

    Hi guys, I own a Yorkville XM20-TC amp and an older Bass Master 200, and I'm wondering if I could use the XM as a main amp and run the BM as a 15 inch enclosure without using its amp section, through the extension speaker output located at the back of the XM. I know this is kind of specific to...

    Dimarzio Model P---What else?

    You gotta listen to the Adam "Nolly" Getgood video on Youtube featuring the Bare Knuckle '58 Split P-Bass pickup. You can hear it played with some heavy distortion and it really rocks !

    Bare Knuckle P-Bass pickup

    Who ever said that only foolish people never change minds was absolutely right once again. After a couple hours of experimentation with my amplifier and tone knob on the bass itself, I can now say that the Bare Knuckle pickup opened the overall sound of my P-bass to a wide array of tonal...

    Bare Knuckle P-Bass pickup

    Pickup change on a Jazz Bass is always a little more significative. I've always had problems with the P-bass global sound, which is mostly mids and not much bottom end. That was what I was looking to improve, but nothing happened...

    Bare Knuckle P-Bass pickup

    This is THE clip that led me to buying a Bare Knuckle at first. But Nolly has a two pickups configuration on a very expensive bass, which is not my case. And there is no possibility for us to see through what kind of rig he is actually playing. I set the controls of my amplifier the same as I...

    Bare Knuckle P-Bass pickup

    You know, more output could be easilly achieved with no cost, just by turning the volume knob of the amplifier. No, I was looking for a little more bottom end and a bit more mid growl. Which seems to be something a P-Bass in incapable of anyway...

    Bare Knuckle P-Bass pickup

    Finally decided on buying the thing. First of all, I found bizarre buying something of that price in an unsealed box. I mean, anyone could have retrieved something from it. But it turned out everything was in the box, the pickup itself, two nice stickers, a thing to put under your beer to...

    Active pickup issue

    I have an old Jazz Bass copy made of parts I had left in my boxes when I moved. I thought it would be fun to build and spent the last days into it. But there's a problem with the active pickups I installed. I borrowed the wiring diagram from a Seymour Duncan Bass Lines I have installed on...

    Buyer's Remorse

    Relax, it could be worse. I once spent 650$ on a Rickenbacker bass that proved a couple weeks later to be a real... Ibanez. Spent the money for the real thing and got stuck with a copy. Let me tell you that every time I looked at it I felt kind of guilty myself. But the thing proved itself to be...

    Bare Knuckle P-Bass pickup

    Thanks for pointing out the misspelling. In fact, I'm from Canada, but there is a Bare Knuckle dealer somewhere not too far from my town. If you suggest I should give it a try, it's probably that you did so yourself. So what are your impressions ? Do they give a round bass tone or are they like...

    Bare Knuckle P-Bass pickup

    Hi guys, Anybody out there tried Bare Knuckle pickups on a P-Bass ? I have that project bass that is a true player but sadly equiped with a cheap Squier type pickup. Would like to add some punch to the instrument's sound, like adding some low end and growl without boosting the unwanted high...
