    2014 Bass GAS syndrome plans?

    Going to a guitar show in two days and I can't wait! I'm looking for an MiA Fender Precision. Right now, I'm leaning towards the American Special to use as a modding platform as I already have the mods on my MiM P.

    Fender Blacktop Club

    That's awesome! I really envy you guys with the black ones. That's what I wanted, but couldn't turn down the deal on my silver one.

    Okay, guys, I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on the pup upgrade and going for the Seymour Duncans: SPB-3 for the neck and SPB-2 for the bridge as Malak advised above. Are the stock pups standard P pup size? I've been trying to measure them vs. the SPB-3 that I just put on my P and...

    The "A string rattle" syndrome, just to see if I could

    I was planning on getting a set of Hipshots anyway. So you're saying that I can order a set of tuners and they'll come with the strong-arm string retainer? Where is a good place to purchase a set with the retainer? I spoke with one place that sells Hipshots by the set but the retainer isn't...

    THANKS, MALAK!!! That's the info I was looking for. Again, I'm not sure if I'm reading the SD spec charts right, but it looked like the SPB-2 was hotter. I'm just finishing up by practicing modding on my MiM P so I'm thinking: Gotoh 201 in black SPB-2 bridge SPB-3 neck rewire with a blend...

    Awesome! Congrats! Those pickups are double jazz pickups, right?

    Sorry and thank you! :) So to clarify: the SPB-3 has a higher output than that SPB-2?

    Fender Blacktop Club

    Hey, guys, I'm still here and lovin' my Blacktop Jazz. I posted this on another thread but thought I'd ask here as well. I'm planning to replace the pickups with Seymour Duncans and figured it'd be good to have a hotter pickup in the bridge position. I was thinking of using the SPB-2 and...

    Startin' the (New Bass) Day by poundin' the Blacktop

    I was wondering about this (the pickup configuration in your subject line). I'm, practicing my modding on my MIM P, but my Blacktop Jazz is next. I was thinking of using Seymour Duncans and was thinking to make the bridge pickup hotter than the neck. So the SPB-2 is hotter than the SPB-3...

    Snakes on a Bass!

    Very cool. Before we converted our garage, two of the three bedrooms of our house were "snake rooms." I have a very supportive wife. :D

    Snakes on a Bass!

    Good thinking on that. You, sir, have a surprising amount of knowledge on snake locomotion. Good on you! Please let me know if you ever change your mind on the bigger guys. I guess I'd consider boas "medium sized" but realize that it's all relative. I'd be interested in trades for bass...

    Snakes on a Bass!

    Thank you! That's an albino boa constrictor. I bought him as a baby in 05 and have had him ever since. I can't believe he'll be 9 next year! *sigh* They grow up so fast! ;) The ones in the pumpkin are boas as well. They're combination of different color and pattern mutations. The names of...
