So I finally got my jazz back with the new pickups and preamp installed. I know this will be a short post, but AMAZING. I'll post sound clips soon.

So I had a pair of what I thought were Nj5's, and my luthier was installing them on my fmtv jazz. My luthier called me to tell me that the pickups were very noisy and I should consider getting different ones. Not wanting to get away from Nordstrands I decided to email them, just in case. I...

I hope this is in the right section. Anyways, I bought my 75 Fender P and needed to have it worked on. I got a recommendation from a good friend to use Paul at Guitar Remedy in Tustin, Ca. I took it over, and had him replace the nut (as it had just broken) and just do a complete setup...

So I was and am a huge fender j fan (I had a 79, and now have the fmt V) and I never really cared for p's. I know, I know... but wait. I just never really got why everyone ever cared for these tones. I chalk that up now to a S**tty amp. Well a couple of months ago, I just started thinking...

This kills me, believe me it hurts so bad, but I need to part with my mtd 535. It has an ash body, ash neck, with a macassar ebony body cap, and matching headstock. I need to sell this bass. It is the right thing to do for this situation. Even typing this I am trying to go through other...

So I am just hours away from owning a 75 pbass (olympic white, with maple neck) and I know that this is probably going to make some people cringe, but it currently has a pickguard that I want to change. i want black, it is not black, kind of a reddish tortoiseshell thing. It's cool, and looks...

I am putting this up for sale again, at a much reduced price. I just cannot hold on to it. It gets no use, and deserves to be loved and played. The reason I am reducing this price is because of some of the issues I found, and for reasons of honesty, I am going to write what I know about it...

So I have something that I recorded with friends from college about I dunno, 8 years ago, and I am curious what people have to say about it. IT's just a fun thing, nothing serious, but I have always wondered what other bass players would think of my playing. I have to give the obligatory...

I started with an Aguilar db750, and it just didn't ring my bell. I moved to an Ampeg svt-4 pro, and the same thing... Any advice on what to move on next? I play a wide range of styles, from rock to jazz and everything in between... I just feel so lost... Thanks for the advice. lance

Just want to vent. I sold my aguilar db750, and my yamaha bb3000. Why? Well as for the db750: Everytime I used it I could never dial in my sound. Ever. I tried and tried, and it just wasn't me. I loved that amp, and wanted to make it work, but never could. The yamaha I sold...

So I took my first real bass lesson yesterday from a pro in the area, Vernon Porter. All I can say is wow. I have had three semesters of theory in college, and played bass for 15 years, and I left with the healthy attitude of "I know nothing". I know some people would be bothered by that, but...

Last Sunday I played for a dear friend of mine at a church where he leads worship. So I thought, eh... I'll play the MTD ;) (Like how nonchalant that was?) The 535 is a macassar ebony top, with an ash body, ash neck, and maple fingerboard. Well, at first I was struggling to get a tone I was...

Just got it, and then realized that it wasn't for me. I think it would fit someone else much better. It is a great bass. Seriously. I just don't need it right now. It comes with a gig bag and a hug... well not a hug, but the gig bag. Buyer pays for all shipping. I am selling it for 1200...

So, here is the thing. The amp sounds amazing, but when I dynamically get louder, it sounds distorted, really brown sounding... It has happened with all of my basses. For example I'll give you the settings I used last night with my Gibson Triumph bass... Passive mode, treble at 1 oclock...

I know that I should know this, but what are these? I really want to get to know these types of basses. Any thoughts on them? and I am assuming these are the same make, but if not, please enlighten me. Thanks all!

So last night I show up to my rehearsal and try out my new to me bb3000s that I purchased from Rowka (awesome doing business with this guy. He is super reliable and a great guy to work with) I also brought my 535 (see pictures of both below). Well my 535 got about 5 minutes of play time...

I missed my last chance due to personal reasons, and I do not want another day to go by without owning one of these basses. I am looking for a bb3000 fretted passive. Last time I put this out there I was graced with information that I was going to act on, but unfortunately it never panned out...

This will be my first instrument mod, and needless to say, I am a little nervous, yet excited. I am decent at soldering, so not worried there, but I am not so good at reading schematics. How hard is this going to be??? I kind of have the feeling I may have bitten off more than I can chew. I...

Well I ordered the db750, and the bergantino nv412 (well the aguilar will be ordered shortly, next day or so... Thanks Mark:) ). That should just about do it for me. This gas run is over. I am very excited to play this combo together. I am getting the nv412 site unseen, but I am confident...

Man I had bad GAS today... 1969 Gibson EB2

So here it is my macassar top, maple body, and ash neck 535. This is probably the best sounding bass I have ever heard. It is amazing. The pictures are taken by the store owner, and I am sure you have seen this bass if you were ever trolling for an mtd. But here it is (now I have to figure...

I guess here is my question. Always have wanted the aguilar, for 10+ years, and now that it is time, I wonder if anything else is as good for cheaper. I don't need 750 watts at this point, so I am wondering if the Epifani will be the head to go with. I have the Epifani 410, just wanna get...

So I took the plunge and wanted to know what you guys think about a macassar top bass? I love it, and I will be picking it up on Thursday. So no pics until tomorrow. But... Someone has to have heard a bass like this. I believe it is a macassar top, with maple body, and ash fingerboard. It...

I cannot for the life of me find one for sale!!! I want a yamaha bb3000 so badly. Does anyone know of a good place to look? I am about to resort to posting personal ads in newspapers. It seems no one wants to give them up. :bawl: I understand though... Once I get it, it won't leave me...
