    Please help with GK 700RB-II VT Bass setup problem

    Yeah, thats the source of the problem, I know. I cannot do that either, because when you switch the VT Bass off, you end up only with the power amp section and you cannot even use the EQ from the preamp. If I didnt see this kind of thing suggested online, I would try it, but I didnt expect...

    Please help with GK 700RB-II VT Bass setup problem

    Believe me, that would be ideal solution, but when you plug a jack into loop return, the preamp section fed by input is cut off.

    jazz bass pickup magnets dont match strings spacing

    Hi, I just brought home 92' MIM Jazz i bought earlier. It needs new pots and some other stuff probably, but what I noticed is one weird thing: The strings are not placed between the magnet heads, only one that fits is G string and only on bridge pickup, which I found really strange. Its...

    Pots resistance influence on sound and capacitor compatibility

    I read it few times on some guitar forums. I looked once again and I am pretty cofused about this: the normal pots have 250K and 500K or 25K and 50K??? I didnt mean to say "25 and 500", but "25 and 50" or "250 and 500" if you follow me. You say that 500K will give you brighter sound, so 250K...

    Pots resistance influence on sound and capacitor compatibility

    I am going to buy new pots for my "new" MIM Jazz, which needs it badly to play properly. The question is, I found on net that there are different types of pots, the 250K one and the 500K (or even 1M) and in several discussions people said that the 25K will sound brighter and the 500K more darker...

    Trying bass in guitar store when you have no amp?

    I am going to try out MIM Jazz made in 92, but it looks like I'll have no chance to get to our rehearsal room (the bandmate is keeping the keys and now resides in village with no phone signal - great system we have in our so-called band, dont we?), so I'll have to take that selling guy to guitar...

    Differences in pieces of bass of same model? Unable to find anything on net...

    What is your experience or information? I find it pretty important in cases when you want to get your bass shipped (of course a new one), so you can't play it before buying. But, you can eventually find the same model in your local store and try it out. So how much does the quality vary in...

    Stupid question about active pickups

    I just wondered - what is active pickup good in a bass, when it doesnt have bass/middle/treble knobs, like these Link Removed? If you buy this and put it in your Jazz, you still have only volume-volume-tone knobs, same as before. So why not save some money and buy passive pickups? I am pretty...

    I mean basses made by company "Moon guitars", to be clear http://www.moon-guitar.co.jp/. Does anybody have any experiences with them? I am considering buying used JJ-4, which you may know as Larry Graham bass. There is not much information to find on net, but what Ive found it was very...

    Can you help me identify this Precision?

    Hm, if that's really price at free market for this bass in USA it makes me sad. Here the asked price is 690, but I hope to lower it to 645. Pretty normal price on market here, for MIA I would pay something about 1000 bucks, I mean for piece from 90's or 00's. But I think you can't compare the...
