    Hum from Seymour Duncan Vintage P-Bass pickup

    I've put a Seymour Duncan Vintage P-bass pickup in the neck position of my Fender Aerodyne bass, paired with a Classic Stack Jazz Bass pickup at the bridge. In some environments, I get significant hum from the P pickup. Is this normal? I'm pretty sure I wired it correctly. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    Odd resonance on my Aerodyne bass -- anyone seen this?

    I recently bought a Fender Aerodyne, and I replaced the original Fender strings with a set of GHS Pressure Wounds to reduce the string noise. The issue I'm having is that I notice an odd resonance when I play up the neck, especially on the E and A strings. It sounds like an additional tone...

    SOLD SansAmp Bass Driver DI, Tech 21

    This is a SansAmp Bass Driver DI pedal in like new condition. It comes with the original tin box and manual. I have never gigged with it, it has never left the house. I wanted to try this, but I've decided I prefer using just a compressor and no other effects to keep things simple. I'm not...

    This is an FEA Dual Band SMX Optical Compressor. This is the one with 3 knobs per band (threshold, ratio and gain). It's in excellent condition functionally and cosmetically. I replaced the knobs because the original knobs have faint indicator lines that were hard to see. (I'll include the...

    Long scale strings on medium scale bass, tension calculations

    I have a medium scale bass (Fender Urge) that will accommodate long scale strings, but I wanted to know what the string tension would be with any given long set on my medium bass, and I found a way. GHS has a Bass String Tension Guide on their website...

    Low output from bass -- what's going on?

    I shared a gig with another bassist, and when he plugged his bass into my amp, he had to turn his volume pot way down to match my volume, even though my volume was all the way up. I have a Fender Urge bass that I rewired, with DiMarzio Ultra Jazz (neck) and DiMarzio Area J (bridge) pickups. For...

    What did the Yamaha RBX270 (or RBX270F) sell for when new?

    I'm looking for a fretless bass, and I've found a used Yamaha RBX270F on Craig's list. The guy is asking $250. That seems a little high based on what little I've been able to find online about them. Does anyone know what these basses went for when new (either the fretted or fretless version)...

    Why don't manufacturers publish what their basses weigh?

    I think bass manufacturers should publish the weight of their products. I know that there are optional configurations that will affect the weight, and there will be some difference from unit to unit because of variations in wood density. Still, I don't see any reason why they can't publish the...

    Genz-Benz Neox 112T vs. GK 112-II

    I'm looking for a light 12" cabinet, and I wonder if anyone has experience with these two and can compare them? I want something with a solid bottom end and good clarity in the midrange, not muddy or boomy sounding. I have the Genz-Benz Shuttle 3.0-10T combo, and it's great for what it is...
