Hey everyone, I'm looking into what I want in my next bass and a little unsure of what I should be looking for. I'm looking into a MM Bridge style pickup with a Jazz Neck pickup since I love the sound both of these basses provide. I'm looking for a deep and powerful "knock you on your ass"...

Well...each speaker has a 200oz magnet, when normal bass speakers have around 50 or 60.

Just dont feel as if the person who replied truly understood what I was saying, due to the response looking as if it was from someone overseas.

According to Basson you MUST have 1,500 watts, otherwise you could damage the speakers in the cabinet....as the speakers in the cabinet are not like most bass speakers.

So hardly anyone makes a good preamp anymore and I have a Basson 8x10 that handles 2,000watts RMS which you MUST have at least 1,500 watts of power for it. I love the sound of the GK Fusion amps and was planning on getting a Fusion 1050 which I would be able to use it for my basson 4x10, but...

i did, but thats for 2 pots not 1 pot. Plus I just want to know which leads are which on the pot.

So i finally got my new pickups and my new pot and jack for my bass. Question i have is how would I go about hooking up only one pot and how do I know which leads to connect to on the pot (How do I know which lead to connect ground to, or which lead do I connect the positive wire from the...

I do have a question when I go to solder the pots. How is the best way to solder them? I'm going to have my iron gun in one hand and my solder in another, how do I hold my wire on the pot without it moving. Do I hold my wire in my right hand along with my solder or??????

I am installing my new Quarter Pound Seymour Duncan P-Bass pickups and am wanting whats a good type of solder to use? I want something that will allow max signal flow.

yeah, I worry about lots too. Too bad I dont have any money now, otherwise I probably would have gotten the $50 pots haha.

yeah, i have been really frustrated in chosing since I only want to put quality electronics in and dont want to spend money on crappy electronics. THE regular pots i had in the fender were horrible. They didn't turn smoothly and that drove me nuts. It seems that after lots of research everyone...

If I do get the plastic pot over the metal pot do you think it would sound as good, or is it a safer bet to just go with a metal pot?

So, I bought the Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound SPB-3 Pickups for my Fender Precision. I am putting in one volume pot and had some questions about wiring the pickups. I noticed in basic wiring diagrams they solder one of the leads on the pot to the back of the pot, what is the purpose of this? Why...

I just bought a new Fender American bass with the new High Mass Vintage bridge and hate the slotted saddles that are on the bridge since it doesn't really allow for bigger strings. I was wondering if there is another bridge out there that will fit the new 08' Fenders (3 mounting holes)(and that...

Currently a lot of basses out there don't offer what I want in a bass and so I am looking into getting one built for me, or atleast getting the body and neck routed and finished for me, and I can put it together. Here are the specs I am looking for: Lakland 4-94 or Ernie Ball Stingray...
