The market is down right now. I just bought a 1966 w/ stripped finish (was refinished then later stripped to bare wood, then varnished) for $3,000. Original hardware and pickup, and the case was from '64 (white tolex with gold interior). Even had the hang tag in the case. This purchase was from...

I've always been a Stetson guy.

I'm loving my Sushi Box FX Slampegg Bee Pre.

One note… Attendance seemed up because it was open to the public. I was trying to meet our vendors but started getting discouraged because of the crowds of people and influencers. I only attended Thursday. on a positive note, I did get to back to Sushibox Effects and my store is bringing on...

I'm looking at a couple of different basses. Can anyone tell me the difference, both in construction and how it relates to tone between the two years? I had a bass that had the CS 62 in it and there was a slight mid scoop that sounded great. I still have a bass with PV 63's and there's more...

I work in an independent guitar store... I don't get them half price but I do get them at cost. I thought alot about the P90 version and I'm curious how that would pair with the TI's.

Prices went down on Amazon a little for the TI's so I've got a second set ordered. Looks like they're coming from Europe (free overseas shipping) so we'll see what I end up with but it's a step in the right direction.

Not cheaper, but almost the same price. I know the Lollars will be one-and-done, I'm not familiar with Wilde. As it turns out I had an extra pickup from one of my 2006 Highway One's. My tech put it in today and now I wait for another set of TI's to get in there. For now I've got some DR Legends...

I’m thinking I’ll go with the Lollar. It seems like the safe bet and I can get one at a great price.

We have one public show left this year, on 12/10 at the Levitt Pavilion in Arlington. We’re kicking off the Christmas Parade so it’s a shorter set and half Christmas songs. Should be a good time!

I play in a TX Country band called September Moon!

I love the sound of roundwounds but suffer from peripheral neuropathy. Sometimes the windings will trigger the nerves in my fingertips and the pain is excruciating; it's what led to my departure from playing acoustic guitar and my transition to bass. As it turns out, bass is much more fun! So...

I was digging through the TI threads but don't see any for TI/P Bass pickups specifically. I love the feel of them and want a pickup for live use when I'm plugged direct into FOH. Does anyone have experience with a P Bass with a P90 style pickup and TI's? Would it be too much in the mids or...

Great question! I didn't try the TI Flats with the QP, but I had DR Legends on there and didn't care for that sound at all. Super muddy to me, even after I lowered the bass side.

Currently I have a SDQP in my favorite P Bass. I don't like playing roundwounds and found the QP to be too muddy with flats. This is primarily used for live playing in a TX Country band but may be used some in the studio as well. My live sound is primarily Bass>Cali76CB>JDI to FOH, so it's...
