Unfortunately I don’t have a bass with that pickup size in it (I’m actually considering ordering the same thing in a MM shell), but could you talk a bit about the next iteration of that design? What’s different about it? Is it a future stock pickup for Delano or something you had made custom...

Thanks for the responses! Just to clarify, I’m planning on replacing both the pickups and the stock electronics. For the pickups I’m leaning towards Bartolini B-Axis (hoping I can get them to make me a dual B-Axis in a MM shell for the bridge position; if not I’ll have to come up with something...

Looking at replacing the electronics in my USA Millennium Plus and I was wondering if anybody could tell me what size/type of pots I should be looking for (length, diameter, etc.) Thanks!

Did you ever end up trying this circuit? If so, how’d it work? I’ve been thinking of doing something very similar so anything lessons you’ve learned from your experience with it would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

It's only puzzling because you're still approaching the issue from the wrong angle. You're assuming that you are entitled to a paying audience and when you don't get one you think the people who aren't paying to see you are somehow "sketchy". Again, the real question is what are you bringing to...

Yep, or to put it another way, for $10 I can get a whole month of more movies and TV shows than I could possibly watch in that time frame, beamed directly to my comfortable living room from outer space. What are you providing that would make me want to pay the same amount of money for an hour or...

Some of you apparently have the attitude that you are entitled to a paying audience simply by virtue of being a musician. But guess what? Nobody cares how hard you've worked, how much money you've invested in your gear, how many years of dedicated practice you've put in to reach your current...

There's a difference between being told to play roots and fifths and being told that what you're playing doesn't fit musically with what the band is doing. I love Victor Wooten as much as the next bassist but his usual style wouldn't work with Wilco. There are plenty of bassists who manage to...

Mark Sandman only needed two strings. Pick up a slide while you're at it.

Thanks, that's good to know. I like the out-of-phase sounds on guitar but I've never tried it on bass so I was wondering if it would be worth checking out. Doesn't sound like I'll waste my time.

It's generally agreed that wiring two pickups out of phase in a two-pickup bass or the coils of the sole humbucker out of phase in a single-pickup bass is useless in most situations due to the overly thin sound produced. But how about putting the coils of a single humbucker out of phase in a...

Thanks for the report and the clips - I've been considering swapping some Barts into my Millennium and your posts have been incredibly helpful. Just to confirm, by "bridge single coil" are you saying that the coil split switch is selecting the bridge coil (technically split coils) of the MM...
