Buy a Bacchus Universe series p-bass if you can get those where you live.

I don't have the instrument yet but most likely I will have to make some more room with dremel and router or something.

As a side note off topic I have total polar opposite interests as I would like to have an esquire and single coil precision bass with only volume pot too.

I have been also contemplating on adding and routing Jaguar bass style control plates on the instrument for more room and weirdo looks. This way I maybe could wire sepatate tone and volume controls on the upper plate, 3/4 way switch on the lower control plate and input jack, master volume and...

Because I'm planning on buying Bacchus universe series jazz bass as it has cool color options, roasted maple neck and contoured heel. I have not found a stingray copy with the same options especially the contoured heel seems to be rare on cheaper instruments and on top off that I want single...

I thought that it's faster way to change pickup configurations than messing with pots. I could dial the desired tone to each pickup separately and on the middle setting find the balance between pickups and after that I don't have to change the settings again and don't accidentally alter them. I...

So I think that trying 500k pot & 0,05 mfd cap for neck and 250k pot & 0,02 mfd cap to bridge would be the way to go. Or is 250k too harsh for bridge?

I'm buying my first jazz bass soon and I would like to modify the electronics to have a 3-way switch (neck, both, bridge), mini switch for series-parallel and a stacked vol-tone pot for each pickup. Maybe darker capacitor for the neck pickup and brighter for bridge. How would I wire this and are...

I've decided to get a Bass VI to experiment on my noise rock project and I was wondering if there's any idea in splitting my signal on the pedalboard. The idea I had is to place a tuner and an overdrive pedal before the split box and run the other signal straight to the amplifier and on the...

Has anyone experimented with bi-amping and bass vi? Is there any problems in running the bass vi to a guitar amp? What I'm looking to achieve is a overdriven bass sound to bass amp and heavily distorted & modulated sound to a guitar amp. Or could you achieve the same by splitting the signal on...

SRC6 30" ! I still don't like the way it looks but for that price it could be worth checking out and maybe it would look better with Lace alumitone humbuckers etc. I think that the squier VI costs something around 575 USD new.

Is $575 a good price for made in Indonesia Ibanez SRC6? And I does anyone else than Eastwood make a 30-105 string set?

Basically I want an instrument that's enough of a bass for a noise rock trio and can be downtuned to D atleast. The idea is that I could play the bass parts with the top 4 strings (with power chords if the single notes sound too thin) and fill the sonic space by adding chords with the thinner...

What do you think that is the best option out of the box? I don't mind updating my instrument but it would be nice to not have to do it straight away. I've understood that the Squier Bass VI needs pretty heavy updates straight away and that Eastwoods quality control lefts a lot to be desired. My...

Like this. Yamaha has somewhat contoured heel on BB series but not to this extent. Who else makes instruments like this? This one's a Bacchus.
