Lots of relevant information here to put context to my questions at the end, so please bear with me.... I have a 2009 Squier Vintage Modified 70's Jazz Bass with the Duncan Designed pickups. After all these years of owning it, for some reason I decided to try out a new set of pickups even though...

Alright, so I will be playing some Tool songs at a small gig soon- I used to have a very complex setup that I could use to get a pretty good Tool bass tone. Alas, times became tough and I sold almost all of it... thankfully, I kept my Boss BF2 bass flanger. The only other pedals I have are a...

I just picked up one of these basses (the natural wood color with black pickguard, and pearl block inlays with maple neck) off craigslist for $140 in practically MINT condition. Apparently these basses go new for $300 and I love the feel of a jazz bass but have never owned one so I purchased it...

I just got one of these and I really like alot of things about it. It's built like a tank, easy to use, the regular wah is great for distortion and the funk wah is great for anything else. The only thing I don't like is the noticeable difference in tone after you finish "wah"-ing, there is a 2...

I've had this pedal for 3 months now (bought it new) and while I can get plenty of "useable" tones out of it, I just can't seem to get any tones that sound truly great. Does anyone else find this? I just ordered a used Deluxe BBM because I was told it is much more flexible so I'm hoping it's...

I've been playing for a long time but lately with work and all, I don't have as much time to practice and focus on my bass playing. So for the maybe 1 hour of time I get a day to practice, I find myself warming up with the same scales/riffs/songs I always do just to keep my skills up but I'm...

I had an old Jay Turser P-Bass sitting in my closet that I haven't played in years (since I was just a noob and knew nothing about bass) and I moved on to other basses without ever really understanding the potential this bass had. Well, I took it out of my closet, put some new ernie ball...

I've been a rock/jazz/metal bassist for my entire life. And for the longest time I've felt like a thoroughly well rounded bassist because I can play a healthy dose of jazzy, thumpy finger style walking bass lines and then kick in my distortion, use a pick and absolutely shred. But lately I've...

Hey guys, so I have an old P-bass copy thats been sitting in my closet for a few years with no strings on it, and one broken tuning peg. So I decided to fix it up and ordered a new set of tuning pegs and strings. My question is, since it hasn't had strings on it in a long time, what should I...

I am starting to think that my boss ODB-3 is my preferred dirt box over my EHX bass big muff pi. Many people I know, and people on the many bass forums I read through, don't like the ODB-3 as much. There seems to be a lot more love for the big muff out there. Now I am not by ANY means down...

I am the lucky owner of one of these basses and I love it. I used to have a jaguar bass, and thought that the Jaguar was the true jack-of-all-trades of the bass world. Well, I got this thunderbird used off of a friend of mine and haven't looked back. Not to discount the jaguar at all but I...

Ok guys I know this is something that has been debated many times over but I own both of these pedals and I just can't decide which one to keep/which one to sell. Keep in mind I am going for the Justin Chancellor of Tool type flange and I know he used a BF-2, but for some reason there is...

Hey guys, so I have been playing bass for quite a few years now but I have just recently started to get a good collection of effects pedals for the style of music I play. The pedals I have are: EHX bass big muff pi, Boss ODB-3 bass overdrive, Boss BF-2 and BF-3 flangers (had a BF-3 already and...

I know recently I'd been curious about Jay Turser basses so I went down and finally just got one. I figured I'd write about it because there's not much at all on here about these basses. Well to start it's a 401-C, it's a P-bass copy, one metal volume knob one metal tone knob. The tone knob does...

Is it worth it to pick up a boss ds-1? I play grunge and I want better, more variable distortion than my amps dist. channel delivers, but I don't wanna spend too much money. I know it probly cuts some bottom end, but I mean what distortion pedal doesn't lol. I dunno, for $40 it seems like it'd...

So my friend the other day who I hadn't seen in a while showed me one of his basses, a Jay Turser P bass which he had bought a while ago and put new pickups and new strings on, and I was amazed... it sounded good- really good. Has anyone else heard of these basses? If so what do you think of them?

What are your favorite strings for the different basses you own? It's almost time for me to buy some new ones and I'd like to hear what everyone likes. I own a P-bass bye the way.

I play in small gigs from time to time and I have a Behringer amp that is really fantastic. It really holds it's own with the guitar and drums and to be honest I am quite impressed with it for being just a combo amp. But what should I get as the next step? Any advice on where I should go from here?

Hey guys, I'm in a Nirvana tribute band and I'm looking for a good effects pedal for that Nirvana sound. I want something that can match their clean tone, and can match the distortion sound that Krist got on songs like Breed. I have a p-bass and a Behringer amp. My friend suggested I look at the...
