Hey so I recently had the EMG 35DC installed in my Fleabass and the sound is way off. It sounds like the pickup is overcharged or something, like there is some kind of distortion on it. Does anyone know any solutions to this problem? If anyone has a link to a video or something that might help...

Oh ok I gotcha

So are you saying that the the 35DCX just won't work with a fleabass?

So I have a fleabass and I want to upgrade it. It seems that everyone that has this bass replaces the pickup for the EMG 35DC. I love the demos I've seen but I was wondering, if the X series is supposed to be better why hasn't anyone put a 35DCX in a fleabass? Is there any reason not to put a...

A lot of people on these threads have been questioning whether its possible for a $400-$600 instrument to match the more expensive fender models, but if you read on sire's site, pay attention to the real claim they are making. They seem to be saying that its entirely possible with new advances...

I've been watching this thread and i was wondering if anyone has gone through the gallery on the sire website. It seems like there are several models with slightly different controls or finishes. Are these possibly future options or are they more likely tested models that didn't go into production?

Yeah I've already applied for several jobs... These are pretty helpful though, from these answers it seems like the smaller cheaper amps are usually a waste. Thats good to know.

So I'm looking to get a new amp but I don't know anything about amps. I know I want a solid state instead of a tube amp and I want a combo instead of a stack. I'm pretty much broke so I can't afford anything more than $80-$120 right now. I know you get what you paid for so I don't need the...

I never thought about that, I still want to upgrade to a jazz bass (because I have played my friend's squier j bass and it felt so much better) but I might upgrade amps too, thanks.

The American Standard is $1400 most places if you buy new. I'm waiting till I can make a trip to the closest music store with a good stock so I can test them out and if I love it I might just go ahead and buy it. But $1000 is really the highest I would spend right now and only if like the...

Thanks that helps a lot.

I've been playing bass for a little less than two years and I have a squire jaguar bass, which honestly just feels like crap when I hold it compared to other squire basses. This is really inhibiting my progress in playing bass so I need to get a bass that just feels better and doesn't sound like...
