I got my MXR octave pedal (which I LOVE, it sounds tremendous) for like 80 bucks used on the guitar center website, they have a used section. And it's essentially in brand new condition :P never forget about looking used

well dudes, i did a mid-level kinda upgrade and i put fender MIM j-bass pickups in it and im definitely whole lot happier with how they sound. something i noticed about cheaper pickups (er, at least the classic vibe series j's), they seem somewhat devoid of some mids and the highs have that...

Hmmm okay guys.. I think I'm starting to get a better handle on this. It seems like I've been a bit picky about it I guess. However, I'm going to be changing the pickups really soon and perhaps I'll like the tone better then. @dmusic148: the only reason up till this point that I always had my...

okie doke, here's a recording https://soundcloud.com/returntoforever/test-1 this clacky-ness is audible here

okay, thats cool, it doesnt really bother me anyway, just wanted to make sure im using d'addario nickel rounds, medium gauge (5+ months old, roughly). and i coated my fingerboard in polyurethane so the tone has a certain brightness by nature but this is definitely too much. i mean...

no, fortunately, that's not quite going on. however (I'm not sure if it's significant, but I want to throw this out there) I can say that there's no real "blending" possible with these pickups, as they are. for example, if I have the neck pickup 100% and I roll in the bridge pickup a bit, it...

yes, I hear it with both on full or just one or the either soloed, so yes it appears on all combinations of pickup volumes. and actually i have adjusted pickup height a few times over the months and lowering them doesnt really change much other than my volume they are 250k pots this kind of...

here's the thing about my volumes on the bass, if they're not at 100% up, you cant really hear them well. the audible volume (and tone) is significantly lower if they go below 100% (this goes for both of them on, or one solo'd). this is ALSO one of the reasons that I was assuming my wiring was...

thanks for your response thus far everyone i dont think so because it is also comes through pretty clearly with just the neck pickup solo'd and the tone up im playing through a markbass little mark ii and a GK 410MBE (with the tweeter off). i can tweak my amp and definitely lessen the...

My j-bass is kind of a frankenstein instrument. It was originally a squier VM fretless, I'll list what I've changed on it. And I'll try to get right to the point as I have a tendency to ramble :P When I turn up the tone knob (past 50% I'd say), I hear what I interpret as a piezo-like treble. Not...

I pine for one of these FSR's SO BAD.

Hey thank you! Very nice, that tune is great!

I'm an enormous Return to Forever fan, I saw them on their 2011 tour in Clearwater, FL and this recording that I'm playing along with is from that tour. check it out! :D let me know what you think

Anything would be very much appreciated =]

Hey man I'm very very interested in this bass. Since its not like a major brand it's difficult to find info on it or videos. Could you possibly post some audio of it? I'd love to have a 6 string ABG like you wouldn't believe and this is pretty inexpensive!!
