Hi there guys, I have been asked to accompany a solo acoustic artist for some busking. We are looking at using one small powered speaker and a mixer rather than a busking amp (busker amps tend to be very quiet and not reproduce bass well. They also don't have much flexibility with mixing). My...

Wow, thanks for all the positive feedback! Really glad to hear you guys approve of my changes! Unfortunately, I dont have any pictures of the rout. But I had a luthier friend of mine do it quite a while back. The midline of the J rout was where we posititioned the midline of the P rout. It...

It was getting a bit redundant having 2 jazz basses with the same pickups and I was also starting to miss having a P bass. So i thought I'd give my MIM a makeover! First off was changing the pickguard to a pearl Hoppus pickguard for its pickup rout. Was originally going to cut it to fit the...

I have a 1992 MIM jazz with a smaller bridge pickup. Ive replaced the pickups a number of times with standard sized pickups (duncans, fenders etc) and it fits just with a bit of easing in and

What is the difference between a line in and effects return? There is a strange bass amp at a church i started playing at, I dont know what it is and its tone is very dismal. I intend on just running a tone hammer or sans amp through the power amp and by pass the preamp. The amp has both a line...

Ive had both sets of pickups in my jazz bass and Grissle's description pretty much nails it. But yeah, let us know what kind of tone you're going for and we can go from there!

i thought it was about time i bumped this.. haha! The heritage samples i found sound awesome! Loving all the insight so far. Any more opinions on an always-on tube OD? :)

Seems like a few fans of the EBS valve drive! Thanks! Any more opinions out there that can vouch for it? Or maybe the Blackstar?

So I'm in the market for an 'always-on' pedal to warm up my sound and give me the slight, natural over drive of a tube amp. My forum search has brought me to these two pedals. Essentially what I'm after is adding warmth and an organic, vintage-y kind of character to the dry tone. Slight...

So I've bought a few no-brand push-pull pots in the past but I always find them really loose to turn ie. the volume will turn down drastically if my hand just brushes past it. Has anyone else had this issue and does anyone know where I can buy higher quality PP pots? Can anyone vouch for...

I've used SPB3s extensively and am a big fan if youre after a non-traditional P bass tone. Expect bigger, grindier mids and deeper lows. The mids are scooped and (whilst many dont like that about the pup) I find that it doesnt step on the toes of the guitarists and muddy up the band's sound...

Yes they are. I have a 2012 american standard as well as a set of CS60s in another bass.

I've owned the SJB3's and I can tell you that I dont think they're what you're after. Theyre definitely not vintage, but rather they are very modern and grindy. Definitely not a bad tone but if youre after vintage growl and bite, the SJB3s are the complete opposite side of the spectrum. In...

Thanks for the reply! Thats exactly all i needed to know. I've come across the interacting tones in research I have done. But doesnt putting the resistor in the circuit cause loss of highs and output? To be honest, I dont mind having interacting tones, chances are I'll only ever use one at a...

So just to clarify, this isnt a 250k vs 500k debate nor is it a "which setup is better" thread :smug: Anyway, im about to pull the trigger on converting a bass to a stacked V/T V/T setup to accomodate the 2 pickups, 2 knob configuration i've got going on. However im used to the sound of VVT...
