I don't have a 6-string but I have a 5-string ESP Ltd B-55 and I love it. If their other basses are of similar quality, definitely not a bad bass for the money.

Took some stills of the bass to try and help... I'm intrigued...

I had a Squire Short-scale Bronco Bass with EMG pickups and never got the kind of tone he has. Although I never tried the pressurewounds... Let me know how those workout for you!

You're welcome. Let me know if you have questions on those products... was a store manager for 2.5 years at Ace... know a little about a lot as they say ;)

PS, nice job on the samples!

I've been listening to a lot of Reggae lately and personally I think the J sounds the best. They have a brighter tone over all and have a more distinct attack on the notes. With all the walking and movement of basslines in Reggae, I'd personally stick to the J if that's the main genre you'd be...

Nice!

Personally, my first bass was a 28" Squire. That thing was perfect for travelling and playing. Never mind living in a dorm at the time it made it slightly easier to pack in to the room. Plus playing on a cramped stage, it can make a huge difference in between playing bass and playing bass and...

I had an Ibanez electric guitar that the strap broke and took a chip out of when it hit the floor. If it's on the wood surface and not the painted/finished side, you may can find a filler that is similarly colored to fill in. I used a product called Plastic Wood to fix mine, actually used it...

I recently acquired a 5-string and had only played 4's up until about 5 months ago. Since I've got the extra real estate, I'm loving it. I have smaller hands so being able to use the 5th string for runs/jumps makes it much easier on me. The only downside to having the low B is if you're...

Thanks for the reply TinIndian, I recently spoke with a friend who builds guitars and he recommended giving Lindy Fralin a call. Just spoke with them and it looks like they may can repair or rewind the originals... Here's their website in case anyone is interested...

Hello everyone, just joined the forums here hoping to gain some knowledge. Just wondering if anyone had knew of some pickups that would fit an Epiphone ET-285. Picked one up some years ago in a pawn shop for about $80.00, finish was extremely bad so I've been in the process of restoring it...
