    Fender, Gibson, or Carvin?

    I recently sold my '11 Fender American standard P Bass. I played around with a wide variety of strings from flat wounds to DR High Beams rounds in search of the right tone for both finger style and pick playing. Never quite happy. I owned a '68 Fender P Bass when I was a kid, but must not have...

    P Bass pickguards

    I had the identical P bass color ... I replaced the original white w/white pearl. I also added the chrome bridge & pick up covers, along with a thumb rest. Looked great & got plenty of compliments about it.

    Does playing thru a tuner affect sound quality

    Is there any noticeable difference in playing thru a tuner (Boss TU3) vs using a tuner port on the amp? :hmm:

    Is it time to upgrade? Yes. Upgrade to what?

    Just updated my Ampeg PF500 with a Peavey VB2 ... 225W tube head. Use it with my Heritage 410HLF. Sounds great! Keeping the PF500 as a back up.
