    Carvin Discontinues SB line of basses and replaces with Jazz Bass Clone?

    I'm probably not saying anything that hasn't been said in this thread before, but things to note: * With the discontinuation of the SB series in the face of its popularity, it's pretty obvious that they needed a Jazz clone to replace it * More people are likely to buy the JB than the SB because...

    If Fender asked you to design your OWN bass...

    * Jazz Bass * Alder body * Candy Apple Red and Burgundy Mist with matching headstock * Black/white/black pickguard, parchment pickguard respectively * Underwound single coils (maybe even EMGs?) in '60s position * ACG/Wal/Alembic-esque filter preamp (Vol/Blend stack, Low pass filter...

    Anyone have a favorite Sweetwater bass rep?

    Oh man, hearing about so many good guys there is making me feel pretty warm and fuzzy about applying there.

    Most Wal-like tone on a Fender?

    I don't know what pickups you'd put in unless routing the body is an option, but you could definitely drop in an ACG-01 filter preamp; basically an intersection of the Wal and Alembic filter preamps, with an additional high-pass filter that neither possess. A Jazz Bass would definitely be the...

    Ambient/Post-Rock/Textural bass playing thread

    Okay so my ambient stuff until this point has been done completely with Audacity plugins, but I recently grabbed a TC Electronics Flashback X4, and have a Hall of Fame on the way, since I'd like to move away from the "Record something, then layer up on the reverb and delay plugins" process I've...

    Ambient/noise/looping/effects driven venues?

    Some friends of mine had an art space in a loft for noise for a while . Basically just try to scope out as many basement shows as possible, you're almost guaranteed to not find the scene you're looking for at normal venues. It's definitely a younger crowd (20-30), but hey that's my crowd so...

    2014 Bass GAS syndrome plans?

    Probably a Carvin SB5000. That new sparkly black finish, pearloid pickguard, swap the preamp out for an ACG filter preamp, ohhhh yes.

    03 Warwick Streamer Jazzman "hum"

    Odds are that the jazz pickup in the neck position is a single coil. While two RWRP single coils will buck hum when evenly balanced, a single coil cannot cancel noise when mixed with a humbucker. You could replace the neck pickup with a split or stacked jazz pickup. There was probably...

    Thinking of going filter

    The 02 has a shared LPF; that's the difference between the 02 and 01.
