    Marcus Miller pickup replacement?

    I love the sound of my marcus miller Jazz bass, but, the 60hz hum is killing me... I typically don't play with both pickups at equal volumes, so there's a lot of buzz coming in. I'm considering the fender noiseless, but is there anything I should be looking at that's a better choice...

    With more use, my SVT3pro has started popping on startup... it seems to be a dc pop of some sort as it causes the speakers in my cabinet to extend pretty far before balancing out... after the initial startup pop, everything is perfect, amp sounds like it always has, etc... Can somebody...

    which cabinet for Svt3pro .. i'd like a 2x10

    My current gig-rig is a Ampeg PR410 + SVT6pro, this rig is too big for some of the places we play, so I'm looking to set up a smaller rig with my Svt3pro...

    Fender Geddy Lee in BEAD?

    I'm a BEAD player and I'm looking for a new bass... I love how the Geddy Lee's sound and play in standard tuning, and really love the looks. For most of the material I play, I use the B string a lot, so not restringing would not be an option. Has anybody restrung one of these in BEAD...

    sx string spacing question...

    I'm currently playing a Ibanez BTB400 with what I believe to be 19mm string spacing (if I'm incorrect, please let me know so I don't ask that question again!). I'm looking for a cheap 4-string bass to get to string up in BEAD. Since the SX's are cheap, it would be a perfect bass to get to...
