    How does a bass sound better "acoustically"? [Long post warning]

    Ok here's the deal. I have a vintage MIJ P-bass, and the PUPs on it ROAR. But I had this problem, that the sound was generally really imbalanced. E.G. First of all, I usually like to set the EQ flat for P-bass. If I set the volume good enough for fingers, it'll be too loud when I slap. When I...

    What would happen...

    What would happen if I added a preamp to a P-bass? Maybe something like this... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/3-Band-Active-Passive-Bass-Preamp-4-Knobs-Good-Quality-/290453095769?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item43a05a8559

    Time for a new neck?

    I have an old Fender-copy P-bass, which really rocks, I love it! Anyway, when I first got it, the A string socket on the nut was shaved across, so if you plucked the A string a bit too hard, then the string will pop out. I have had the nut filled and the string stays in place, but when I play...

    I drive a Datsun '79 Sunny...

    And I installed a new Sony CD player/stereo head today! :hyper: Cost $139AUD, so just a simple and affordable one. Unfortunately I only have enough money to upgrade the head, so the car still has its stock speakers, which, at first, sounded shocking. Everything had a really piercing...

    Stingray H/HH/HS: What's the difference?

    Hey guys, this has been bugging me for a while, I can't discern myself from listening to clips, like from Youtube, cos I don't know what EQs people are using. From what I've heard, the HH can get a thicker darker tone, closer to a P-bass, than a H. And other stuff like, HH sounds like a...

    Damn, one of the prettiest 'rays I've seen in a while! [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] You could play 'Killing in the Name Of' or something at church and everyone will still like you with such a holy-looking bass :hyper:

    I re-watched Back to the Future 2...

    I randomly heard Flea acted in this movie, so I watched it just so I could be like "Hey, it's Flea!" But he's only on-screen for like...10 seconds! :rollno:

    I'm thinking of a Wah pedal!

    I need a Wah pedal, ideally I'd like one thats reasonably priced (like, CHEAP if possible :bassist:) but still give me a good quality effect. Probably like, around $100 AUD, possibly lower? The only one I could find from Ebay AUS was this one...

    Advice for P BASS please!

    I need to re-string my P-bass, it's a Fender copy, it's got a very authentic growl to it. Anyway, I'm looking for a nice, crisp funk-tone all around, especially around the mid/highs, but still be able to get through a solid low-end punch. I've been using elixers on for a while and after the...

    I tried a Squier classic vibe 60s P bass today...

    And it was awesome! The tone was overall really crisp and sharp, but when it got down to the low end, it could really boom. I was wondering whether a bass's overall tone was from the pickups? I have a P bass that I would be interested in exchanging the pickups.. And also, I'm having a hard...

    Help with super glue stain!

    Ok, one of my tuner machine heads was a bit loose, and a used a bit of superglue to secure it back, but i managed to get a bit of a superglue stain happening on the surface of the tuner head. So it's made of metal, and I know nail-polish remover with acetone can be used to sorta loosen up...

    Home-fix for deep-ish scratches?? can anyone recommend me?

    I've got a Les Paul guitar, its a nice shiny Black Enamel sorta finish, and I accidentally made some short scratches along the side surface. One of the scratches wasn't too deep, the scratch still appears black, but its still a scratch. And the other scratch is a little deeper, and you can see...

    I split my finger open!!

    Ok, really annoying, but it happens. I took a shower, a nice HOT one, and I finished and came out, I saw I had a few dishes in the sink needing to be cleaning. So I grab a pot to start scrubbing it, and I manage to swipe my finger across the underside of the pot's handle which happened to be...

    How would you EQ.....

    Wondering how you would EQ a Jazz bass to cut through relatively heavy music? I'm thinking heavy rock and the like. I know heaps of other basses that might suit better, but I'm wondering if people out there do it and know how to :D

    dammit, Monster Rock vs Bass?

    A few months ago I bought a Monster cable for myself, and not knowing much about Monsters, I managed to get myself the Rock version, without even realizing that there existed a Bass version as well! Well they only had the Rocks up on display, and my friend had told me that "Monster cables are...

    How do the sounds on these two basses compare? From what I hear, they both have a low end growl, but anything else specific?

    TRIED to restore an old P bass XD..

    Actually, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out :bassist: It used to look something like this... I dunno about you guys, but IMO, the red sparkle finish kinda felt too 'modern' to have all those vintage looking rusty parts, so I gave it a bit of a make-over...still sounds...

    Jazz or Stingray?? Need some help!

    Hey everyone At the moment, I have just one bass, its a Fender-copy precision bass, and I love it a lot, sounds just like a Fender, and I can get a range of tones from it, from a really growling low/mid to a rounded melodic tone, and slapping on it isn't TOO bad ;) I was thinking of getting a...

    The best Thunderbird??

    I'm recently considering buying a new Thunderbird bass, and I know there are a few out there, but I only know about the Thunderbird IV with the mahogany finish, and the Thunderbird Goth, and of course the Nikki Sixx one. At the moment, I was probably gonna go for the Goth, just because I like...

I got this bass from a friend a while ago, and I'm not exactly sure what model or brand it is, I tried googling it but I can't seem to find it...I guess it kinda looks like a Fender...:hmm: sorry a bit unfamiliar with this!
