Sounds nice!

How does it sound?

Does anyone find it difficult to balance the G-string output on the Mullarkey? To me it always seems too hot unless you really tilt the pickup .

Ended up keeping the Storm Trooper bass and doing a passive conversion. Used Bartolini XXM45M pickups, but installed them upside down to get a more open voicing on the A-string. Pretty satisfied with the results, although it took quite a bit of trial and error (and money) to get it right. At...

Didn’t take you long to sell it though

Yep

Thanks!

A little project I took on: I bought this 1993 Fender Jazz Bass Plus in Caribbean Mist on a whim. I have a Stu Hamm bass from that same era with the Kubicki preamp and figured it would be in the same ballpark except with a 34" scale. Turns out I REALLY don't like the sound of Lace-Sensor...

The original appeal of the Mullarkey for a lot of people, myself included, was that it gets very close to that hollowbody pick-and-palm-mute tone but in a more versatile solid body format. If Fender tone is what you're after, there are much better options out there, including the Wilcocks you...

Viv makes a bass with single-coils in J-bass position, as well as one with a MM-style pickup. Either one of those would...

If you play mostly classic rock, don't sleep on Wilcock's other pickup configurations. He has one with the dark star pickup that'd probably be up your alley, although very different from a stingray.

Any idea what year a 0938 serial number would indicate?

Ah, yeah that makes sense. I wonder if it would sound better with both of the reactive switches set to “flat”.

Anyone have experience using the Fryette PS-2A with bass amps?
