Hey all, Found a beautiful 2006 Am Standard body in butterscotch blonde , unfortunately, someone decided to spray paint it black. I managed to sand off all of the black paint, however, I also sanded off the sealant in the process. How would I go about sealing this bass? Ill put up picture later...

So I recently acquired a Dark Star-ed P Bass here on the Classifieds. It sounds amazing, but seems to lack a little punch (in comparison to my Highway 1 P). What ever it lacks in punch it makes up for with many beautiful qualities, but I was wondering if the lack of punch is due to the...

Hey all, Ran into an awesome deal for a vintage EB-0 project ('72 with a single mudbucker in the sweet spot) that needs the mudbucker and some hardware replaced. Does anyone make a legitimate "vintage sounding" mudbucker that I could use as a replacement? The DiMarzio is out, I want something...

Hey everyone, I will be in the studio next week and am getting a bit of overdrive from my all tube SVT. I only notice it on the songs where I dig into the strings harder, but I don't really remember it driving as much as it is now. The Mid and Treble EQs are boosted like hell, so the volume...

Anybody happen to know what wood was used in the old Gibson eb-3. Also any info on recreation of pickups would be much appreciated

Alright guys, So I'm pretty new to the jazz bass thing. Having always playing P bass, I just played stainless rounds to help get more top end. With my j bass however, the "fullness" is more lacking, and there are alot of finger noises due to the extended middle- top end on the j p/us. What...

So I just got myself a Fender 70s Jazz reissue and it has a beautiful midrange. The lower mid register, however, is a little weak, and the guitar itself sounds a bit thin because of it. Would switching to Dark Stars help this out? What do these things sound like in a J bass (Ive checked out the...

Anyone know of a trusted luthier for electric neck/fret work?

*This is a re-posted thread (Hanson J Bass Pickups) as I dont think anyone knows that Lakland uses Hanson P/Us Hey all, Just picked myself up a Fender MIM 70s reissue J bass and it looks f-in amazing. Nice and vintage-y- however, its MIM. And I am looking for the right pickups to swap in there...

Hey all, Just picked myself up a Fender MIM 70s reissue J bass and it looks f-in amazing. Nice and vintage-y- however, its MIM. And I am looking for the right pickups to swap in there. Being heard in the mix is big for me, so I would like something with a good mid presence and plenty of punch...

Alright TBers, I am looking to swap a pickup out of a MIM Fender P bass Deluxe (active 3 band P/J pickups) in order to increase sound quality/clarity. I really like the sound of the bass, but notice a lot of differences in clarity between that guitar's pickup and my Passive American P. I don't...

Whats up TB!! So I gots my self one of these, Invalid Link Removed and like it, but kinda don't like the active sound. Should I go about de-active-ising / passive-fising it? I have an American P that I love the sound of, but doesnt have that j pickup in the treble. Does this guitar get...

So scored a vintage phase 100 for $75 on ebay, however, it was delivered early one sub zero colorado morning and was frozen solid by the time I got to it. Plugged it in, doesn't work- Is this thing fried or can I get it fixed? Im not sure how subzero weather affects electronics... Im sure its...

Alright, so as me and my band mates were recording a demo the other day, and I thought to my self "damn, it would be waaay cool to get a 'dummy' speaker and crank the SVT"... but then I thought "Whoa there, if I did that we may not have to spend cash to go to a studio (to properly isolate the...

I have been doing a lot of recording (dubbing in and recording over drum tracks) for a project I have been working on and recently started wondering if there is anything I can use between my bass and my mixing board to boost the signal I am recording. I am looking to achieve an overall stronger...

Whats going on TB? So me and my guitarist have been doing some recording and writing while my drummer is in France, and we have been recently experiencing a lot of excess noise, amps working poorly etc that we are pretty sure is arising from the lack of "clean" power in our space (Crackling...

Alright, Im in the market for a cabinet that can handle my SVT silverface reissue... I have been trying to figure this out for far too long, so I have come to TB for assistance (hooray:hyper:)- I would like nothing more than to get this rig up and running. I am looking into the Schroeder...

Hey everyone, I have been using a Voodoo Labs pedal power 2 plus to provide power for my pedal board but have recently lost the cord to plug it in while gigging. What kind of cord should I be replacing it with (does it matter)?

Alright, I play an SVT VR and its starting to sound pretty dead (almost muddy)... I am anticipating that its probably time for re-tubing and had a few questions. I have been told that if I want my amp to sound its best, I should think about getting warranted tubes by a company/dude who...

In particular, I am looking for a short scale bass with a wide mid-range distribution for a rock-ish sound. But that's just me... Let me know which ones everyone thinks is best!

Hey hey hey, I am wondering if anyone has played one of Ashdown's "little bastard" 30 watt all tube amplifiers- They look great for recording. Tone is my ultimate question and whether it can do anything but thump! I like my tone to have a clear mid and upper mid section, and a well rounded low...

Alright everyone, thanks for checking this out. So I have been thinking about a p bass special lately as I need to bring out the top midrange a bit to get that P bass tone (which I love very much) to cut through/sit where I want it in the mix. I have used a P in the past with this project...

Hey everyone, I am having a little bit of cabinet trouble... I am currently playing a American Standard P bass through a SVT VR Ampeg reissue along with one of there "famed" 4x10 and a SWR Triad cabinet. I am having some issues with the basses ability to cut through the mix, in that I...
