So I (fairly) recently bought a new American Standard P-Bass, and I found out some things about it that I'd like to share with the TalkBass community. Essentially, based on my direct experience, I will (lamentably) be stating my personal positions in some of the longest-running, most futile...

Thanks Charlie! I believe I'll do that.

I think in reverse, since I have to turn the knobs counterclockwise to raise in value. So I think I'm trying for the reverse of that, so I would then turn the volume up (for example) by going clockwise.

Thanks for your input everyone. I just checked, and I have audio taper pots, and I'm looking at the wires (thinking of just re-soldering them in reverse), but I don't know how I would change the wiring in order to get my desired effect. Can someone explain that to me please?

Good day, gents. I come to you today with confusion. A little backstory: I'm a lefty. I like Fenders. From 2005 to about 2013, I had a 2004 MiM Fender Jazz Bass. The tone control on it didn't work so well; it was either "on" or "off." No in-between; it was either at none or full, just...

Beautiful bass, man! Good job! I like the color too!

And thanks rust_preacher!

Bummer, is that also the TSA one? I will say I'm a huge fan of my case. It was one of those unexpected (pleasant) surprises. Once I figured out how to work the clasps on either end, it was fantastic, haw haw haw.

:D

Thanks! Back atcha! xD What kind of case did you get? I feel like mine came with a non-standard case...not like I'm complaining, but it's definitely not the plastic TSA ones I've seen advertised for the righties.

I, sir, am ready for my number...FINALLY!

haha!

Mine goes back a ways. In order to have a clue what this story's about, you'll need to know that I'm of Danish parentage and really proud of it. And I was very vocal on that in my senior year of high school and my freshman year of college. So freshman year, my friend and I are sitting in the...

I can't join just yet; my first p-bass should be coming in to the music store by this Friday. I'm so friggin' excited. I just ordered the mystic red American Standard P-Bass, lefty. This, for me, is THE sound. And the guitars are just sexy, no two ways about it. I can't wait, I'm just...

So I've been doing a ton of research on strings, scale lengths, bridge configurations and so forth as I prepare to buy a lefty Fender American Standard Precision Bass. In my past bass playing endeavors, I have very much enjoyed the feel, quality and sound of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky strings...
