    Total Newb with a couple of total newb questions - PJ bass

    As probably many posters here, I'm just learning wiring. I have a Squier Affinity PJ and I bought a pair of Dimarzio PJ pickups. I also bought some cloth wires. These wires came with the picjups. To get the true effect of the cloth wiring should I replace the pickups default wires with the...

    Was about to start buying pedals - Am I better off just getting a Helix?

    Thanks for all the responses. After reading through them I think I'm gonna save some money and go the Helix route. Not sure which model yet, I guess that depends on my finances in 2-3 months when it's closer to trigger pulling time, but I think in terms of budget, it just seems smarter and most...

    Was about to start buying pedals - Am I better off just getting a Helix?

    That sucks. I already have a Zoom B3n which I basically don't use for the same reason. It's complicated to adjust and most the effects are lackluster. I think it excels at synth type effects and not a lot else. I was actually planning to, if I went the pedal route to keep it and use it as a...

    Was about to start buying pedals - Am I better off just getting a Helix?

    This what I'm really afraid of and the reason my inclination is to go with pedals. Budget is the reason I'm thinking of Helix. By the time I but 2 high quality pedals I could have gotten a Helix and I know I want more than 2 pedals.

    Was about to start buying pedals - Am I better off just getting a Helix?

    As the title says, I was about to start the process of building up a pedal collection. I am a non-professional, I do occasional recording as a way to collaborate with friends and am looking to move more into that. I like effects because they sound cool and are fun. I was going to get pedals...

    Zoom B3n. Any way to get a sustain/drone effect like an EHX Freeze?

    I'll try again, and maybe and a volume/wah pedal to it, but I actually came here to ask after playing with the hold delay for quite a while and being unable to get a suitable effect. Even if I can get one, I think I won't be able to play over it because everything I play would be subject to the...

    Zoom B3n. Any way to get a sustain/drone effect like an EHX Freeze?

    Just what the title says. I want to find a way to hold a single note infinitely and be able to continue to play over it without effects on what I play after the original note. Basically a drone sound to practice over in key.

    Dingwall Owners Club

    Those of you with fretless Dingwall's, how easy or hard is it to play. I have an NG3 and found there really was no adjustment moving to fanned frets, but I don't know that the easy translation on a fretted instrument translates to an also easy transition on a fretless. How easy or hard is it to...

    Dingwall Owners Club

    I ordered mine "blind." I just really liked the sound they made. There wasn't really anywhere I could try one out. I'm really happy with it. It's an excellent instrument. You could play one through a music career no problem. I would prefer an upgrade to the bridge. I think individual bridges are...

    Is there a way to modify the NG to make it include passive tone control without switching out the Darkglass preamp?

    Fender Deluxe Active Precision: Does it have passive tone control?

    I agree it looks like a great bass, and decent price for such a high level instrument as well. That being said, lack of a passive tone control is total deal-breaker. I'd be using this professionally. The reason for buying it is the necessity of owning a P-bass as a pro. People want you to have...

    Fender Deluxe Active Precision: Does it have passive tone control?

    This is a different model than the one I asked about. It gets confusing as Fenders naming scheme makes them all sound the same. The one I'm looking at is MIM and $1000 cheaper. That being said, How do you like this bass. I'd be using it professionally, so I'm considering spending the extra to...

    Fender Deluxe Active Precision: Does it have passive tone control?

    I'm trying to figure this out and I'm getting wildly conflicting information, even from people who own them. When you switch into passive mode, what controls do you have?

    Roscoe vs Dingwall

    These are literally my two favorite brands. For playing metal I'd go the Dingwall route though I think you'll be happy with either.
