This thread is so filled with awesomeness....it's almost unbearable, i will dig through every page of it. Meanwhile, do i get a number? '84 Roadstar (pristine condition, original case with allen wrenches and keys) '82 Blazer (custom pickguard, brass nut, vol/vol/no tone control)

1984 Ibanez Roadstar II I have owned several Fenders, i still own one, not gonna talk rubbish about them...the P Bass is my favorite model of bass. But this baby kicks and screams. I think it does because of the pristine craftmanship, the maple fb and a very powerful Dimarzio style stock...

I'm from Venezuela, so...the economy has been kind enough to take away a Standard sunburst P, Am.Std. sunburst J, a Transblue Spector Euro 4, and a beater Yamaha Attitude "Plus". But i didn't come here to moan about it, because i still have this one: Modified HWY 1 P-bass, refinished, EMG...

Groove/tone monster, check out "My Kind of Girl" by Chickenfoot, you can almost chew on that bassline. Pure bonecrushing goodness.

My HWY1 P-Bass gets gigs by itself, if i show up to shows or rehearsals with another bass, i often get the stink eye. Generally gets most jobs done with the old fingers/plectrum/tone up/tone down combo. I might get sick of it...but i don't see it happening anytime soon.HWY1 P-Bass by RONQUITO...

I just received a Lace Aluma J neck pickup as a gift, would it be recommendable to use it as a bridge pickup in a PJ project?

:help: Bump for old times sake (back when in TB you could ask seemingly moronic stuff) I really need to know if the aforementioned combination of pups is a good match in terms of individual gain/impedance and so forth...opinions please

Good day fellow bassists, i need some help matching a J (bridge) pup with a SPB-3 pup i have, waiting for me to finish putting together some PJ monstrosity that im craving from long ago. I have 2 P-Basses (HWY1 and a MIM Standard), and i love them just the way they came. Now the question...is...

Guy Pratt Pino Palladino Chris Wolstenholme Chris Squire Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond Just to name five...

Certainly not, the two basses were setup, calibrated et al by the same person, same kind of strings (Daddario Nickels on both)

The strangest thing happened to me recently, i heard from a friend that a buddy of his was selling a Sunburst J Bass V American Standard at an excelent price, like 700 dollars more or less, this is a steal for a bass of that series in my country, sounded like a great opportunity, i had been...

I´m very annoyed by this situation, two years ago i bought a brand new (2008) HWY1 P-Bass in midnight wine finish, i messed with it in my house, even played a few gigs with it the way it came, then i noticed that the response of the E string was kind of dull. Well, off went the original pickup...

´eeere we go again...
