Ok, First, I don't want to get into a discussion on pickup brands. I think I'm going to go with either DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan... But the main question is: I have a 5 string Jazz with the lace sensors and kubicki preamp in it. I'm starting by ditching the pickups and replacing them with...

First, I have searched the forums and everyone suggests their favorites or recommendations, and I tried...them all! I went to GC today and played probably 6 small amps. They all distorted at low volumes. My price range was a couple hundred bucks... I played Ashdown Fender Ampeg Peavey...

Since I am really wanting to get a P bass, I figure I'll try delaying the purchase as much as possible and still hopefully have fun looking and be happy with the purchase when it happens. I was born in 1986, so I was thinking of beginning my search for my birth year bass. As I was looking on...

I bought this about a month ago from Gruhn Guitars here in Nashville thinking I wanted to play classical guitar. I took a few lessons, then started playing bass again. So my loss. Your gain. I will include several books with classical pieces in them along with a wooden foot stool and padded...

I've been working on my chops here lately and been listening very intently to some music I have previously learned, to find there are tons of "gems" buried within the song. I don't know how everyone else feels, but playing straight songs and roots is required, but the fills and passing lines...

First, I know all there is to know about this bass as far as what is posted here on TB. I have discovered there are several mixed opinions about these pickups or preamp or the bass in general. So here is mine: I LOVE the way this thing plays! It plays and feels just great...unplugged. I am...

Title may be a bit misleading, but it fits what I feel is the literal definition. I have sub'd for bands in the past, but I have always had a few weeks to learn the songs as well as a few rehearsals with the band to get things tight. Today is different. A cover band need a sub for this Friday...

Up for grabs is an Eden 2x10 (EX210N8) It's rated at 500 watts @ 8 ohm I love this cab. It's lightweight and LOUD! I need a 4x10 cab OR another 1x15 (must be an 8 OHM version). I currently have a 1x15 Kustom cab that I love. So I would just run two (1x15 cabs) OR Just use a 4x10 cab...

What exactly is an engineers job in the studio? Setting up the equipment and running the DAW? Should he/she make suggestions about your playing? Like either saying try it with flat wounds or rounds? Try it at a different octave? Try using more open strings? Try using a pick? Maybe even...

Since I read angelcrushers thread on P basses, I find myself wanting one pretty bad. My dilema(s) is/are Do I need one? I am convinced I do. Lol! Also, I feel I am a high enough caliber of a player that I need an American one. I'm feeling kind of snotty and spoiled by thinking this. My...

This isn't to judge tour buses and trailers with roadies or planes. I'm talking about the weekend warrior types or the people just starting to gig out that don't have a trailer and band ride. I've been in bands where we had that stuff and its F'n great! Roadies included! Lol! Now I'm hitting...

Basically a brand new set of EMG P-bass pickups. Installed and rarely played. Mostly just sitting in the body. The body is crap, so I will be throwing it away. I'll remove pickups shortly. Includes Pickups and controls. Its all solderless so, easy to install. Just clip them together. $65...

I'm working on modding a passive bass by adding a 9V preamp. I have routed the cavity larger so all the components will fit. The bass does NOT have a pick guard around the knobs originally but I am going to add one. Instead of the plastic ones I was thinking of adding a metal one. Is this...

Used Tech21 SansAmp RBI You know what it is. It is great at what it does. No issues with it at all, I just don't use it and am trying to clear out the stuff. $200 The other things in the rack are for sale also. T.C. Electronics G-Major $150 Korg DT100 tuner $50 If you buy the...

Here is a Epiphone Thunderbird 4 string bass that, unfortunately, has been heavily modified. The thing plays good, but when I was modding it an accident or two may have happened. I first replaced the pickups with active ones. The are ESP ones I think...but I can't be sure. So when I was...

I have a 90's era MIA Fender Jazz Plus 5 string. I have a thread on here from a couple years ago when I was repairing it, but I can't locate it now. When I got it the truss rod was broken in the original neck, so I put a Warmoth one on it. It plays AMAZING! I love the way this thing feels. I...

So, all the kustom cabs I cab find on here are the tuck and roll stuff... Mine isn't, I just traded for it. It sounds great in my living room. Haven't played a show yet... But I really would love some specs on this thing. The things I already know (or were told) are: It's 8ohm And it's has an...

So, I have a thread on this bass on here from when I got it. It had a new neck because the dude I bought it from broke the truss rod and sold it to me that way, so I fixed it. So, here I go with playing the crap out if it! I'm just not to happy with the sound I am getting from the pickups...

Ok, first things first. 1.) I understand there are people who do NOT agree with this speaker combination. Everyone had their beliefs and they also have the science to back them up. I am an engineer (day job) and I live music for the reason of creation and the fact that sometimes things don't...

Hey, so I put together a fender jazz plus V over the last week. I bought the bass off CL. It had all original everything except the truss rod was broken. So, instead of digging into that fix and since I got the stuff cheap enough, it was still in my budget to just buy a new neck. Which I got...

So, I am wanting to run two sans amps in a rack. One clean and one for dirty. What I am wondering is: Is there a pedal that I can use for an A/B switcher to switch between them, but control it through midi? So I don't have to run two instrument cables from the pedal board to the rack?

Ok, so I was given a single 15 cab. It's a Peavey classic 115e. I googled it and it seems it's strictly a guitar cabinet....can it be used for a bass cabinet? Modified for one? Or should I just move on and not worry about it? It had a tweed covering, which is why I liked it. I play in a blues...

Hey dudes. So, I picked this bass up on cl a week or so ago...it's a fender jazz bass (5 string) and is loaded with lace sensor pickups. I bought it knowing it had what the guy said was a broken truss rod (and yeah, I got it pretty cheap, Lol!). Well, a couple days ago, I grabbed up a warmoth...

Hey guys, I have searched this and found some similar threads but not what I am looking for, so here we go! What is in your rack (or pedal board) and why? The reason: I am working on building what will be my first "dream rig" (yes, I know it won't last, GAS will over come, Lol!). Anyway, I have...

Ok, I am a bit new at the bass playing thing. Only been playing bass for a couple of years. So I went out and got an Ampeg 410 Classic used. I have, or am having, a few issues with it. I have searced the web and these forums best I could to find some info, but posting a thread seems to be...
