excellent. a pity that you did a messy job but everything looks messy inside, not outside, that's fine! wondering if you have any sound samples of your bass with the new pickups? I reckon those pickups costs almost as much as the bass!

Context: I'm interested in ibanez/spectors/warwick basses from an ergonomic standpoint (i want a small bodied, lightweight, LONG SCALE bass). but i like a vintage, 60s 70s tone (i play rock, indie, singer songwriter, post-punk, etc). But everytime i played something with emg or barts i disliked...

Yeah, the thing is I'm in Argentina. No Reverb / Guitar Center / Craigslist here. So, you have Mercadolibre (ebay competitor here) or Facebook Marketplace regarding online stuff. I usually search those first.

Thanks for all the replies. I travelled to another city, looked at the local ads and I found a Ibanez SR505 for about 300USD. Beat up and with two knobs missing but everything was fully functional, including pickup and preamp. Sound was preeeetty good out of the box as well. Went finally with...

overall it is a good recommendation but I live in Argentina. This blocks 90% of the recommendations here. The BTB333 was never sold here. This is way this is my potential list that I was looking feedback on, as these are on my budget and available here in my city. 1) Ibanez SR1205. 2) Ibanez...

Yeah, maybe my take is kind of a stretch. I had a friend that had an ibanez SR series bass that fit in a big guitar gigbag (think jazzmaster size). But maybe i was wrong. But anyway, I'm also interested in comfort in playing, as I'm getting older and I'm kind of on the short side. I think it's...

it's a short scale. I want a longer scale! I'm located in Argentina, it's a local builder half an hour from my city. It's called Lemma Sound. You just pick the gauges you want, the length, the ball ends, and you're good to go.

Thanks for remembering. I'm extremely lucky on that regard and i have the absolute best possible scenario for this: A customer string builder that built a set of strings for me. I have some flatwounds made for the bass vi with a big ass 110 as the E string. I was scared that it could not fit on...

Not very useful as I'm looking for a smaller instrument. It's still a small short scale bass. There's no black magic that you can do here. Also - I want to get a new bass!

Hi! Need to choice between a few options here to know which one may be the best for me! First, some context: I'm a guitarist/bassist, been playing for 20+ years. Mostly indie-rock, indie-songwriter stuff. Right now I'm playing with a singer-songwriter trio (drums, bass (me) and guitar+vocals...

Thanks for your reply. Allow me to feel very stupid, but does a splitter like that really work? I can put that into the output of my TH or any other pedal and splitting into two and both signals will be exactly the same? what is this sorcery??

hi, bumping this as. this is the only thread of this mod actually as far as i searched on Just to confirm @scotch - this adds a THIRD output to the tone hammer? Or it disables the normal 1/4" output jack? Stock, a Tone Hammer has a balanced XLR output and a normal 1/4 output. I want a third...

yes, this is my initial approach into what to do. it's cheap and I can make a local luthier make a pickup that feel into those covers. Great advice. I've beein eye-ing the Ibanez EHB1005SMS and it looks very interesting. would like to play one but they aren't available in my country right now...

I'd plan to get a Bass VI in one moment because i was always interested in that kind of Instrument, but this is a whole different thing. I had several short scale basses (mustangs, hofners, etc). I do not want a 30 inch bass. I know how it sounds and it's purposes. I'm exactly looking for the...

Let's thing about the Fender Bass VI, or any 30 inch scale 6-string bass tuned to EADGC. It's its own thing, so it sounds a bit like a baritone, or like a crude / lo-fi short scale bass. Or it can sound like a guitar as well. But sound-wise, i will say that the consensus is that it's more like a...
