I just shimmed the neck of my last project to obtain a really low action, and I got really surprized stuff I wouldn't be able to play that well before came out immediately as intended. As a beginner, I think it has to do with being able to relax my left hand by not pressing that hard. I now...

Hi guys! So I was working on a little project of mine based on a cort GB34A body lately (I fix/tweak cheap basses for fun; pic below), and was thinking of the preamp I'd put in it. All interesting options such as the aguilar OBP-3 semt a bit expensive to me, so I mined TB to try and find a...

Damn right... I'd say cortez either with a vox pickup or just the metal pickup cover removed... anyway I'll hopefully be 100 bucks lighter soon and miss zorzevic will kick my ass again (worth it)

Ok guys... I need your help on this one. Just saw this beautiful no-name and my wallet is prolly gonna get 100 bucks lighter. Any idea what it might be? the pup is super strange and I love it. The seller says it's an 80ies japanese model but that's it. Sounds like a lovely deal anyway

Thing is, as stated above I just rehearse alone and live in a flat. The ba110 is already way too powerful for my use (vol set on 2 pretty much all the time). On the plus side I might use the vt Bass for headphones. Also, budget... Ofc I'll probably consider buying a nice amp/cab at some point...

No xlr out with the vt bass v2 model nor xlr in in the ampeg ba110 v2... that's why I was thinking about messing up with the aux in...

Sure, plus I don't mean to get any real significant distortion, it's all about warmth and tone. I might be wrong about it, but it also has to do with the fact I have quite a lot of passive basses and want to be able to benefit from the perks of active from time to time (acknowledging it's not...

Damn you're on spot. Was just asking about that. Dunno what a FOH is tho, sry noob here...

Thanks for the advice. Any recommendations about the position in the chain? Got a spectracomp, a 7 band EQ and a cliff burton signature wah/fuzz (not that I use this one that much). I use mostly passive basses.

Sure, but having no loop nor direct access to power stage I figured out I'd try and see. Also, "budget" is a key here... any amp rig I could trade for my BA and a few bucks that would do it? Would gladly do. (I don't play in a band so home training so far)

What's a bintage japanese bass without the amp that fits? Just received it today (piggy PS200B) never seen this head+cab wood version before... and I LOVE it! Of course it doesn't get any close to an expensive vintage tube amp - i guess - but the wood or whatever it is makes it sound nice and...

Yeah, I meant the aux input; having no direct access to the power stage I figured I'd probably try both to figure out what's best.

Hi guys, I'm using mostly passive basses pn an ampeg ba110v2 and would like to get a decent preamp pedal on a budget to try and find my sweet spot tone. From what I heard on youtube tests, the tech21 vt bass v2 would probably fit the job, plus emulate a really nice SVT sound and allow for a way...

Also, would anybody have ideas about how this beauty could be sligtly upgraded? (eg. potting the PUs, adding some stuff or otherwise...) Don't get me wrong I'd rather not make any non-reversible changes. It's just that there might have been very common upgrades made with this kind of low budget...

You guys have a point... Also, as a noob in the fantastic world of basses and especially vintage japanese ones I'm really surprized they didn't just try and copy the classics (or what became a classic?) at the time but also tried hard to innovate when it comes to both the tech and the looks...
