    p bass pickup to match MM pickup

    I put wizard pickups in my bass. Pick the style of pick you want then a dude from england will call you and basically see what you want out of those pickups. He will ask you about the bass itself. What woods and length and all that other stuff. Tell him your situation and he will custom make...

    request: to zion goes I - o.a.r.

    good day everybody, my skills as a bassist are some what, how do you say, limited (horrible to be blunt.) I am not particularly good at figuring out songs for myself. I guess it's due to my brief history playing bass and the lack of time to try and get better. Life changes, job and...

    Issues after shielding

    1: the solder is shiny so I guess we are ok in that department. 2: I 3 pots: VVT. I Took the grounds from the pickups and soldered them to the top of the Tone pot. Each pot is also connected to each other by a ground wire, ultimatly meeting at the same location the pickups are grounded...

    Issues after shielding

    Good evening, just today I finished shielding my Fender Aerodyne and put everything back together (soldering and all that jazz.) WHen I plugged in I noticed 2 things: 1: I had to turn my amp volume to max and all my knobs up just to hear anything. Even when tone was coming out of...

    Can I ground to shielding tape over shielding paint?

    that is true although it is too late at this point. I already did it and it works fine. I don;t gig at all since I just started playing only a few months ago. If my bass was going in and out and all over then yea I would think of a safer, more permanent solution. Although I did get great...
