Hey folks, I'm looking for a Jazz pickup to compliment the sound of fender's "original" 62 P-bass pickup for use in a PJ configuration. I know I can go either very different, like dimarzio model J, or I could go something more classic sounding. What would you guys suggest? Anybody have a...

Does anybody make non-floppy shortscales? The scale needs to be really short, like 28/29", and the silk at the ball end needs to be either gone or extend less than an inch maximum. Is there a type of string I should be looking for given the shortness of the scale and the silk requirements at...

First to last string would have to be around 1.75 inches. Anything like that out there? The original bridge, from an old small shortscale, uses two telecaster saddles in a miniaturized pbass style bridge plate. If there isn't an off-the-shelf solution I'm willing to make one that will work...

How would one go about doing this properly? When the neck itself is nice and straight, but the fingerboard has aged and shrunk to produce an uneven surface, what sorts of processes would be involved in the correction? I'm not asking the generic steps, but more of which sort of options are...

So these strings are highly ground/polished, really really smooth, but are coming apart. The inner windings are now visible, and there is white silk fiber on the inside along with a bronze inner wrap. Who would have made such a string?

Need some help figuring out what these are, they are old short scale flats with an E string of about .09. They have black silk on both ends, and seem shinier than labella. Any ideas?

I saw that pyramid has changed some of their strings, they now seem to have a round core flatwound available. Any thoughts would be appreciated, I'm always on the lookout for a new flatwound.

I've been playing finger style comfortably with one finger, I am able to keep the speed up and tone is consistent, but sometimes I run out of steam and the single finger can't keep up with what I want to play. Any tips or guides or other useful information in trying to make the move? I'm...

Anybody try these out? At 100 bucks they are ridiculously expensive but I have read that they are a reproduction of the original 60s/70s maxima sets originally supplied for rick basses. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, I've been really enjoying playing to a few youtube videos (eg: ) but are there any sources for just drum, and variety? Does somebody sell or offer this sort of thing? Would love anyone's insight. Thanks!

Greetings. Presently using TI Flats, considering a move to the trubass88 for bigger strings. How is the tension, is it still pretty low? Thanks.

Howdy, I currently have a set of JF344s and I am finding that the E string tonally doesn't quite work. I'm thinking that a smaller E string might fit the bill- is there a smaller one from TI, or is there another set with similar properties and a smaller E? Thanks.

edit - pictures posted below! Greetings folks, I finally figured out how to fix my dead E string on my rickenbacker, and anyone with a similar problem can try it out and please post here. The problem was the dead sounding funky E string with a lot of fundamental but bad nasty harmonics...

Howdy, Thinking about trying out a precision, and I had a few questions about the 62 reissue model. It seems to me that it is the best way to ensure a nice bass from fender at the moment- I have heard fantastic things about the 08 american standards though, so thats a good sign. My...

Listen to the open E, as compared to the others, and let me know what you hear or think you hear. Thank you!

Wondering what the effect on the sound is... Thanks.

Hey guys, I find myself torn between so many tones on this puppy I wish I had thumbscrews on the bridge pickup so I can adjust on the fly. Any such place to get them? They can't be too big or they may get in the way of playing... but they could be rubber or something soft and then they could be...

Hey guys, I have had this dead E string for a while now and while it may yet be a dead string, I have found something while resetting the bridge assembly. The Bridge part(As seen here:Link Removed) is cracked where the crew hole is.. essentially, whoever machined the hole made it far too close...

Howdy folks, I made the move from rotos to the lauded TI JF344 Jazz flats on my 4003 and I LOVE the tone on the ADG strings, but my E string is totally different. The ADGs are so bright and have great harmonic content as compared to the dull and undefined E string. I did not recall having...
