These are in an instrument that I am looking at buying. I've never seen any quite like this. Any idea just by the physical look of them what they are? Notice the rounded off edges. That's unusual to say the least. Thanks!

I call this the Squier P Special CV. I robbed the neck off of this bass to put on a much better bass. The Squier Special is, if you don't know, a full width 5 string with 19mm spacing like the Pro Tone V and the Modified Active J V. The Special was born with the absolute worst electronics. 4...

Ok guys. I have a bass I am wanting to do an unusual wiring job to. It's a Squier neck with a homemade body. Originally had a Pro Tone neck on it that was broken somehow (story I got anyway) and I decided to slap the special neck on it since they are the same dimensionally and the Special...

Good deal with xabicho! We swapped my Pedulla Rapture V for this sweet Fender Elite Jazz! I really dig the electronics in this bass. It sounds great, looks great and plays great! The Rapture I traded had about the best playing neck on earth and of course Pedulla tone. So I think we both...

Built this ugly thing this week. It’s a homemade body with a Squier Precision Special V neck. Single concentric pot. Passive. (waiting on knobs) music Man pickup. Problem.... These necks are generally for the wider variety like Pro Tones and Active J 5 Squires. It was cut for a Music Man...

Just wondering what basses that you owned that were the most comfortable and which ones were the worst. And why. Sound here isn’t a consideration. Just ergonomics. For me the most comfortable had to be the Japanese Custom Shop ESP j-five. Perfectly balanced. Zero neck dive and easy playing...

Never really noticed how different bass necks taper from bass to bass. All mine are 5s in this example. Alvarez custom. Narrow at nut, not much taper at the last fret compared to the nut. Very blocky, but narrow. DeArmond v. 2” nut. Full inch wider at the last fret (3”) but looks much...

Hey guys...I picked up a Brice Defiant bloodburst 6 a few days ago for $250. I must say....I'm really impressed. I am typical of playing things first before buying them, so I never guessed on a Rondo music "cheapie". Figured these things gotta be boat paddles. Wow...was I wrong! Neck...

Hey guys. Here's one for you. I have a Audio Technica wireless stompbox series 10 that I have been using for some time. It works great and I've never had an issue till now. I used to play it with mostly passive basses, but I did have a Yamaha BB605 that was active that was a regular player...

Hey guys. Installed a Tone Monster Preamp into a TMB 105 Ibanez Talman. The body is already routed for expansion and had little modding to make this work. The bass sounds terrific too. At the same time I replaced the neck P pickup with my favorite "Bitterroot" eBay branded pickups as I...

hey guys. I have a DeArmond Pilot V that I got for a great price recently. It's a terrific base and I really enjoy playing it, but the pickups in it kind of suck. It has the two jazz pickups and I believe I read somewhere that they are really just four string pick ups in a five string housing...

Hey guys...Looking at some passive Mighty Mites for a project bass. I've always been pretty impressed with the value of their stuff. Do any of you guys have any feedback on these?

Picked up this DeArmond Pilot V yesterday from Guitar Center WITH the original hard case for $119. Condition was listed as "fair". Bass has some weird strings on it but condition wise? It's a solid 9 out of 10. Case is great too. I don't get it! I don't care though. It goes great with...

So I strolled into guitar center in Mobile Alabama yesterday and came across this blue rat-fur covered Yorkville amplifier. Supposedly it had a blown speaker. At that price of $25 I can hardly say no. I brought it home and found it to be fully functional although it does have a rattle on lower...

okay I'm a big fan of the Squier Pro Tone V Precision. The 5s only came in red with humbuckers. Well I like that neck so much I bought one on eBay (the body is still in there by the way). I'm debating on what to do with it. I just knew I had to have this neck profile as it seems most basses...

hey guys. I have recently decided that I like the wider spacing (19mm) on my axes. As a result I am selling quite a number of my closer ones as I feel they hold me back significantly. My #1 is now (unbelievably) a Squier Pro Tone V. They came in any color you wanted as long as you liked...

Looking for some alternative tuners for a Dixon P bass copy I have . I don't like clover tuners. These appear to be one of the few drop in replacements that aren't clovers. Anyone have any experience with them? Grovers are usually pretty solid in my book. Obviously the screw holes don't...

Hey guys, I have a Fusion 550 that didn't come with the footswitch. GK wants $80 for the RFC-II which is astronomical for a damn footswitch. I can find a used one cheaper than that but cost isn't really the thing I am that worried about. I don't need or want the mute function. What I'd...

Traded my Ibanez Talman bass 4 string for this Warwick 5 Corvette Rock Bass. I think I got the better end of that deal! For one the cheapest Warwick is almost 3x the price of that Talman...another is that this is a far superior bass in every respect! I've never owned a Warwick before. Man...

hey guys. Currently I have a Boss GT-6b and recently started playing with it and getting to know the menus and I'm really getting good sounds out of it. It was a beast to learn all the menus but once you get the hang of it, it really isn't that bad. However, I got an avenue to a line 6 pod xt...

I bought this Alvarez bass' neck to put on a 4 string Talman bass I intended to modify to fit the 5 string neck. They don't make a 5er. Well I decided the Talman bass was too good to hack on so I bought the body from the same eBay seller. Bought new pickups, tuners, bridge and pots since all...

Finally broke down and bought a pro bass! I didn't want to spend $2k for a Music Man and I wanted something different. Here is an ESP j-five I just got today. Real ESP. This is not a LTD. Made in Japan. Custom bass. Killer low action, no neck dive, EMG factory pickups (active). See through...

Believe it or not, I bought this rig for a total of $650. With the tuner, the light rig and the new case I have $865 in it! I was torn for some time on whether I wanted to go with the matching GK 4x12, a 2x12 or something all together. I settled on this. Mostly cause I like the SWR stuff...

I'm making a custom build out of an old Alvarez five string bass. My question is on the pick ups. Is there any difference between active and nonactive pick ups? And what I mean is can you use any kind of pick ups with the preamp? If I decide to go passive does it make any difference? I'm...

I bought this last Night for $40. It belonged to a friend of mine. I wanted something to use as a backup. I thought it was odd that A head would be called a combo. So I searched on the web for it. It doesn't appear to exist. So I'm guessing this is an old combo head shoved in a head case...
