    Misaligned PUs?

    Checked the neck and neither the E or G is closer to the strings. I see, thanks. But is it ok that the J PU is not aligned? the PU's side for the G is nearer than the bridge than for the E? I'm planning to replace the stock PUs with SD PUs so I compared the dimensions of my J PU here with a...

    Misaligned PUs?

    Hi everyone, I have a fender copy here at home which I'm planning to upgrade its pickups soon. But the thing is the PUs are somewhat misaligned? I'm judging by the pole pieces on both the P and J PUs. The P PU isn't that misaligned though compared to the J which is "too off", where the strings...

    Uneven Action

    Hi Guys, I have a question about my bass. The action seems to be "uneven", on the frets near the headstock the action seems good for me and I don't have a hard time fretting some notes but as I go higher through the fretboard (nearer the body) the action seems to go higher and fretting notes...

    Identifying my Fender Bass

    I see, I also bought it a bit cheaper than what's on the internet though I assume it's fake but I'll take a look at the neck though as canadian man said. Can I replace the pups on this one so it sounds good even though it's fake?

    Identifying my Fender Bass

    Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed when I bought it, it had a "fender super bullets" sticker on the pickguard if that helps. *sorry for the low quality pics, I used the camera on my phone so I can post here quickly.* Thanks for the quick reply! EDIT updated the images

    Thanks for your ideas! I practiced doing the slide a few days ago and got some of the technique although it's a bit slow. XD But whenever I do the slide correctly though, the string vibrates loudly whenever I pass through each fret - is that normal or I'm just doing it wrong?

    Thanks I'll try that. The song is "No Such Thing" by John Mayer. I think it's better to try playing that as the bass sounds clearer and I can "check" if I'm doing it correctly.

    I'll ask another question if you guys don't mind, I'm practicing a song right now with parts where I need to do a slide (I tried skipping on the sliding parts at first but the it sounded bad without the slides) - but whenever I do it the strings silences... Do I need to press lighter on the...

    Thanks for your reply, sorry I'm a total beginner here... where can I find the gain or overdrive? My amp only has the volume, bass, treble, module and compression knobs... Thanks I'll try to remember that. :)
