    Current production medium scale basses?

    I swear I saw an ad for a very inexpensive medium scale bass but can't remember where. I just want the neck and the basses I saw were only $150 (I think). I have a long term project that would like a complete neck to attach to the body I have been messin with. Help?

    Artec vs GOTOH....?

    Need a new pickup for my EB-0. Which has better build quality? Thicker cover and other manufacturing/quality points. Don't care a whole lot about the price difference. I just want quality. I hate spending any amount on something that feels cheap Thanks

    Pickup pot wattage?

    I want to add a pickup and it's volume and tone controls. The routed out area will be a little snug so I am considering mini pots. But they seem to be of lower wattage rating than the regular size pots. The minis are 0.1 w. In a passive system will the lower wattage rating be a problem...

    Chrome Bridge Pickup ?

    Seems the market is tending away from chrome pickups and leaning towards stealthy black ones. Can anyone suggest a chrome (not plastic) 4 string bridge pickup? It is for an EB. I have seen the Gibson EB knock offs and looked into a Rio Grande Pitbull (which I can't really find anywhere).

    4 string Bass Neck Builders ?

    I've looked at Warmoth and USACG and am not finding exactly what I want. Can someone help with the names or links to other custom neck builders? One suggestion was Jimmy Wilson but I have not been able to find that place. All suggestions appreciated. :help:

    If anyone has their 200S amp apart I would really like to get some photos of the wiring of the chassis. Some nice closeups so I can figure out component placement. Thanks

    Simple Pream Suggestion Wanted

    I have a bunch of basic amps sitting around. These were made for stereo/hifi applications. What I need is a very simple preamp to drive one of them. The commercial ones I see out there are way over complicated. All I need is volume and a tone control or two and an On/Off switch. Is there such...

    Adjust Bias Voltage: Super Reverb ?

    I just finished putting in new pots, caps and tubes in the '66 Super and I am trying to figure where to measure the voltage (it says -52v on the schematic) for the bias. I don't want to just go poking around with the Fluke meter. Where is that measurement taken?

    Clean The Grill Cloth or Not ?

    Going through my '66 Super Reverb today. Replacing pots and recapping. Working on electronics today but will be working on the cabinet soon. Thought I would ask now so I could think about it. The grill cloth has thousands of years of tobacco smoke and beer on it from playing in bars and the...

    Best 15" BG speaker ?

    Ok I know this is the proverbial can of worms..... I have not played in decades. When I did, I used JBL D130s and 140s and Altec 421s. So what is out there now that rivals those speakers? (Probably won't play as loud as I used to either)

    Fender Mexican Bass Questions

    My first post. I started playing bass in 1964. Back then you could buy Jazz Basses at the local hock shop for $75-100. I had a lot of them and precisions as well. Never got to buy one new (too poor). At the time they were $399 new. Had a few EB0s and EB3s too. Played NW rock and roll at teen...
