    Modding 54 Paranormal J - where should I put the pickups?

    Pickup sounds great! well defined but very loud with not a lot of control tone wise.

    Modding 54 Paranormal J - where should I put the pickups?

    More of a Gibson EB-3 Style neck and bridge pickups, which according to the dimensions I have should cover the old routes and work fine. I've already enough basses with J pickups and want to do something different, but still vintage inspired to go with this bass' look. I just thought the...

    Modding 54 Paranormal J - where should I put the pickups?

    (under the strings of course!) Now that the joke is out of the way - I made some quick mockups of what I'm wanting to do to this poor squier, but am unsure what/ where would be best for the neck pup and am looking for suggestions. 3 Pickup configuration ^ Mudbucker + modifying the pickguard...

    P-Bass: older vs newer.

    If you're just wanting new features get a new pickguard and put in all the fancy electronics you desire, and you can easily swap back to original if you ever decide to cash it out.

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    Just gave my main a bit of a facelift: '08 Fender Deluxe V MIM. Besides the shiny, I also made it comparable with the current Deluxe model by putting in an active/passive toggle, but implementing it with a push/pull in the mid freq. pot instead of the unsightly mini switch fender uses.

    Question on soloing

    I have the chord changes in my head and know of different scales and ways to connect them on my instrument. because I've practiced connecting the harmony so much, I don't have to think about while I play: I play what I hear/feel and build off of what the rest of the band is doing. Personally I...
