    Fender Blacktop Precision pickups.

    Most threads on the this are pretty old. Just picked up a blacktop Pbass and thinking of replacing the pickups. They sound fine but would rather have something will more warmth and less attack. Any suggestions? What all out there will even fit? Thanks.

    Pbass pickup recs for the sound I'm going for.

    Have a Dunable yeti with their stock D-split pickup. They’re described as “Slightly underwound from the contemporary P style pickup, for a bit more attack and grind, as well as bottom end to push a little extra air.” I find them to have a bit too much attack and twang when playing with a...

    Need help keeping my necks straight.

    Live in CO which had low humidity. I think it’s contributing to my necks warping (both twisting and bowing). My guitar tech thinks it’s a combo of the low humidity and string tension. My two 4 string basses that are having issues are set up in drop B with string gauge 65-130. Could I be...

    That Amenra bass tone

    Looking to recreate this sound, specifically the song Plus Pres De Toi on Mass VI. Sounds maybe like good old fashioned distortion through a pbass? Currently have a DG alpha omega 900 head and a dunable with pbass style pickups but can’t quite seem to dial that exact sound in with the EQ...

    Darkglass NSG

    Anyone try the noise gate from Darkglass? Reviews are hard to come by seeing as it’s still a relatively new pedal. I get a ton of hiss from my board (mainly from my B3K) and am looking to squash it. This seems like it might do the trick.

    Mesa Subway 800D help.

    Having an issue with my head that I can’t pinpoint. On occasion, after playing for a 15 minutes or so, the amp will start producing a lot of distortion when I play it. I was able to isolate the issue to the amp so I know it’s not from a cab, pedals, bass. After keeping the amp off for 30 min or...

    Best wait to pair up two cabs.

    Just took delivery of a second darkglass 212 cab. Going to run my mesa subway 800 through both. The head has two outputs, the cabs have one input and one output. What’s the best way to pair them? Use both the outputs from the head (one into each cab) or one speaker cable from the head into one...

    Thin C necks.

    Which companies make thin c (or subsequent other letters) necks? I know schecter, esp, Ibanez, occasional fenders do. Any other ones? I’ve been spoiled by these types of necks and everything else feels chunky and fat in my hands now.

    Possible blown speaker?

    Noticing a slight amount of distortion coming from my cab (Darkglass 212) when playing only low notes (around D to B). The distortion is more noticeable if I increase low frequencies. I’ve never blown a speaker before so not entirely sure what it sounds like. Any other issues it could...

    Any guess what disortion pedal is used here?

    Not a huge fan of the song but kinda diggin the tone. I have the same bass and wouldn't mind recreating a similar sound. Any guess on what pedals are being used?

    Pairing two cabs together

    Curious how the watts are split. Lets say I have an 800 watt head going into a cab that can handle 1000 watts, if I connect the head to a second cab, does the second cab also need to be able to handle at least 800 watts? Do both cabs get 400 watts? Ohms shouldn't be an issue. Thanks

    Overdrive not cutting through the mix

    Should I do this trade??

    Ive been trying to sell my Dietz 3x15 off and on for about 8 months. Havent had any interest until I got an offer to trade my 3x15 for an ampeg 6x10 and a peavey 2x15. I dont have a need for these cabs but I figure they would be easy to sell them off.
