Is there any way to identify different P-bass pickups? I pulled what I thought were stock Fender MIM pickups out of a 2006 MIM p bass, but then I noticed the pots were CTS. I didn't think they used CTS pots in MIM products. The 2006 fender MIM models were rumored for a while to have...

According to the seller, it is: http://toronto.en.craigslist.ca/tor/msg/1004459614.html

Hi Everyone, I'm about to attempt my first rewire on my MIM P and I noticed a few people like to solder grounds to the back of the volume pot while others solder grounds to a screw they add during refurbishment. Once I saw the screw technique, I'm leaning towards that. Any experts want...

So, I picked up a set of Labella Deep Talkin' flats from my local store, got them home and discovered I let them sell me the 760FHBB set for the Hofner "Beatle Bass." Serves me right for not telling them exactly what I wanted and for not thoroughly examining what they gave me. I saw the 760F...

shipped from where?

This has been the most entertaining hijacking I've read. I thought it was a false claim, but best to be sure.

I was in my local gear shop the other day looking at a renter BDDI at a great price. The sales dude chatted with me about it for a bit, then told me I should look at the tonebone or a straight D/I box instead of the bddi. In doing this, he said the the circuitry of the bddi is covered by...

Thank you all for your help and general concern for my well being. as an update, I ended up taking the cover off the amp. I looked inside, thought to myself: "Hmm, interesting," and closed the bastard right back up. I quickly recognized I had nothing of value to add to that amp. I can...

Yah, I knew all those things could be possible culprits. I was hoping just to peak and see that the jacks in the amp had worked their way loose. The bummer about the whole thing is that I'm supposed to be on my way to trade the thing in so I can get my new, most definitely awesome amp...

So, I'm getting some crackling from either my amp or my bass. Just brought in some new cordage and nothing has improved. Ampeg B5r and MIM P I was thinking about opening both up and getting the lay of the land, see if anything needs some general tightening or there is anything readily...

I originally thought about these mini rigs to eliminate the nasty, 60lb rack i currently run. I was going to go pedals for everything--no more rackmounted compressor, no more rack power conditioner, no more power amp. I don't think I'll ever see my life in a bass place where someone else...

Kjung, I was hoping you would reply. I read a bunch of the shootout thread. Anyway, i was wondering why you would want to add the bulk of a rack to the relatively small SA 450. I guess protection is important. How do you guys handle power conditioning with these units? Do they need it?

...but I'm completely torn. The time is near for a new amp purchase and the LMII and SA 450 are on the list. The Shuttle 6.0 was on the list, But it's much more expensive (>$1,000) and seems more difficult to find around these parts, a situation I found odd. I have A/B'd the two...
