    The Ultimate 50's Precision Bass?

    But with neck sizes/profiles it really is a matter of "try before you buy". We all have different hands and recommending a specific neck to a...

    The Ultimate 50's Precision Bass?

    These do not have the wide neck of actual late 50s P-basses (or Vinteras) though. I've not tested this particular model but looking at the specs...

    The Ultimate 50's Precision Bass?

    My AV'57 is wide but not very thick front to back. It actually feels slim for an old school, wide P-bass neck. That's only the reason I can...

    EMG single coil in a Bronco

    Personally I would use a bass pickup in a bass. Guitar pickups are voiced differently for a reason. Something like a good quality...

    Short-scale Pyramid Flats users: which set do you use?

    Did 45-100 feel better balanced than 45-105 on a P-bass? Was the E-string less "dead" and thumpy? I've REALLY tried to like the Pyramid Golds on...

    Read any good Rock Musician Biography's?

    I'm generally not into musician biographies but I enjoyed Glyn Johns - Sound Man. His claim to fame is obviously as an engineer/producer rather...

    Thunderbird vs Rickenbacker again..

    If you want a T-bird(ish) tone but an easier transition from a Fender there's also the Epiphone Embassy. Same pickups as the Epi Vintage Pro/60s...

    Squier 40th Anniversary Vintage and Gold Editions

    In my experience some P-basses do and others don't. Why exactly this is the case is something I've never understood but I've certainly got...

    Squier 40th Anniversary Vintage and Gold Editions

    Are your two gold edition basses P-basses (like the one in your profile pic)? P-basses are noise cancelling by design and usually don't need...

    The Ultimate 50's Precision Bass?

    Do you want the historically correct raised pole pieces under the A-string? Most of the basses you refer to don't have this. The only one of those...

    how long do strings keep in the package?

    In sealed plastic bags they will probably last for decades. In cardboard/paper it will depend on the string material. I stopped using Pyramid...
