Here is my latest mods to my SX P short scale. The body is the original color. I had the pickguard painted blue but changed it to black. I used Krylon Fusion paint which works great. The neck was stripped with Citristrip. I would not recommend the spray on version of the stripper. It tends...

I put some GHS bright flats on my SX short scale PJ. Made it sound like a dud. Very bad dead sound. Not recommeded. Went back to rounds.

Hello, Anyone ever put a Ric pickup as a 3d pickup on a PJ near the neck? How did sound and what problems did you encounter installing it?

I can understand why someone may choose to start a thread that many of us think is duplicated. Matter of fact this subject may be a duplicate. Often when I do a search and go to a particular thread, there are pages and pages of post. Many of the posts have nothing to do with the subject and I...

Why not there is a club for everything else and I couldn't find one using search. For some reason I can no longer attach images so here is a link to mine with obvious mods. Clicking on the B's Gallery tab will take you to other information about the mods. EMG Select Passive pickups Refinished...

Sorry for this repeat of a question but I didn't receive an answer so I'll try it this way. On the SX P/J is the black wire coming from the "P" pickup the ground wire? I think it is but just want to be sure. Many thanks!

I've got a neck that I cant get all the bow out of. Not sure if you call it back or forward bow but the middle of the neck has too much space between the strings. The truss rod will not tighten anymore. The problem is that I can't get the action as low as I want because the higher frets...

Hello, Just finished a few mods on my SX short scale. I swapped the pickups to EMG Selects which sound great on this little bass. Additionally, I added a new pick guard. The pick guard was originally white but I painted it with Krylon Fusion which is made just for painting plastic. The...

Haven't seen this thread but over the past few months I've seen and probably posted myself some strange and whacky bass questions. So far the one that tops my list is: Is this a fake SX? Yours?

My Ibanez SR505 is one of my favorite basses. I'm still trying to get the tone smoother for times when I want a 'P' type sound. I use a GK210 amp, no effects pedals. Suggestions? Thanks

I've never used flats but may try them on my SX short scale with "P" configured pickups. Suggestions? Thanks

I recently added a short scale SX to my bass family. I am curious as to whether my fellow TBers believe that an audience can tell the difference in sound if someone is playing a short scale versus a long scale. Scenario: Your are playing at a gig and you have a regular scale Fender P. You...

I played my newest bass addition, an SX short scale SBP-57, at a church gig this morning. I was able to get a well rounded sound with a good blend. This particular gig also had an acoustic guitar and a piano (grand). The bass played great and the tone was excellent. Backing off the short...

Just received and installed a new white pearl pick guard on my MIA Jazz. Purchased from Terrapin. It replaced a black pick guard. Fairly tight fit with only a few adjustments needed. Here is the picture.

Hello, I'm doing some setup on a few of my basses and have a question. With a generally flat neck (not much bow) on the bass below here are my sting heights at the 12 fret for the E string. Fender Jazz = .100 Ibanez SR505 = .110 SX PJ = 120 SX Short Scale = .090 Opinions vary but are these...

Hello, While removing the pickguard the bridge ground (yellow wire) became unattached. Bassed on the picture below, where should I reattach it? Thanks for the help

Hello, I have a SX "P" short scale and notice the G string is about half the volume of the others. I've adjusted the pickup height but with little noticeable change. To acheive proper balance should I lower the pickups on the other strings? Any suggestions? Thanks for the help

Sorry if I missed a thread on this. Anyone have a recommendation for a gig bag that is a good fit for a SX short scale? Thanks

Received my SX SPB-57 3/4 LPB Short Scale. This is my second SX the other being a SPJ-62 2TSB. The short scale came with no dings or blemishes on the finish. The neck was not bowed and did not require no truss rod adjustments. I replaced the strings with some Ernie Ball Regular Slinkys...

Hello, I'm considering putting the pick guard from Terrapin: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] color: white pearl / w / b / w .090" thick on the attached MIA Fender Jazz. I would appreciate anyone photoshopping that and replacing the black with the white pearl. Many thanks fellow TBers. By...

Need some help here from you experts but not sure if this is the correct space. For a church event I need to set up a monitor speaker so the pianist can hear recorded music as she plays. The mixing board is located in the balcony at back of church but there is a mic 3 prong jack panel near the...

In the beginning God created the Fender P-Bass and a plain ole tube amp. Anyone know what and when the first bass effects came into the world? I don't know the answer but I'm just curious and we have some real smart TBers.

I saw a picture of Bill Wyman (Rolling Stones bassist) playing his Mustang bass. He had the strap peg mounted on the lower horn. He liked playing the bass with the head up more. The picture I saw was in a book but I haven't located one on the Internet, yet.

I was reading one of my bass books and came across the tic tac bass reference. I understand it is bass doubling such as when a 6 string Danoelectric bass doubles an upright. Would one of the songs representing that style be I Walk the Line by Johnny Cash? Is there another example that...

I have done several modifications to my SX SPJ 3TBS. After refinishing the neck, reducing the headstock and changing the pick ups, I decided to go for broke and paint the headstock black. The outer edge of the body paint is almost black so I figured I'd paint the headstock to match. I painted...

Anyone seen or have a double PJ? By this I mean a normal PJ with and extra set of P pickups near the neck. Please post a picture if such a hybrid exists also how does it sound?

Talk about useless trivia.....Does anyone know what the first commercially produced bass was with a tort pick guard? I don't know the answer but I was reading one of my bass books and the question popped in my ole brain. A picture would be nice also. It was probably a Fender bass, don't you...

Just curious....I've read a few threads of how people set the knobs on amps and basses. Whats your definition of setting something flat? To me it means on my Ibanez SR505 that the knob is set to 6 (midpoint setting) o'clock. You feel a slight bump at this setting sorta a neutral setting. On...

A few questions for you Fender experts. Has the Fender Jazz body always been in its current shape with the offset body? I thought I saw some early Fender Jazz basses where the body didn't have the large offset body where the controls are located. Also, are the Jazz body variations...

Anyone have a Fender Jazz and use an external Sadowsky Preamp? At $249 I'm interested in other opinions before I purchase this. Thanks [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Whats the best way to eliminate or minimize a dead spot on my bass neck. Bass is SX SPJ. Dead spot is on low E string at the 9th and 10th fret. Its not horrible just has a small thud sound.

Not sure its relevant to anything but I saw a repeat of the Eagle's Hell Freezes Over concert last night. I notice 99% of the time Timothy S. played his white signature Carvin. The bass sounded great and cut through the mix very well. He picked up his trusty Jazz and was almost lost in mix...

I currently have a red chrome metallic MIA Fender Jazz with black pick guard. I am considering changing the pick guard. I would like to see pictures of some of your red basses to get an idea of whats out there in the pick guard world. Here is mine [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Many...

'm considering getting a tort pick guard for my MIA Fender Jazz. The pictures of pick guards such as with the Warmoth site below are confusing. Invalid Link Removed Looking at the the top part of the pick guard below the long horn next to the low E string does not match what I know to be a...

*&^ml,

I thought if there were 4 threads dealing with string spacing we needed one club for this. Naked = no clothes on Nekkid = no clothes on and up to no good

Hello, The nut on my SX PJ broke and needs to be replaced. From what I can tell here are the dimensions which seem to be standard P Bass. What are your suggested replacements that are already slotted? Thanks Measures Inches Lenght 1.650 Width 0.125 Height 0.187 E to E 1.250

Anyone have recommendations for replacement nut for an SX SPJ? Thanks
