Hello all, Can anyone refer me to some decent instructional material on double plucking?

Oh mercy, what a show! He hit the stage with Anthony Wellington and Steve Bailey, 4 other multi-instrumentalists and and incredible singer. First time I ever saw Vic play the guitar. Steve did an absolutely sick solo on his 6 string fretless. And of course, Vic Was amazing in his solo spot too...

Hello all, Looking for a decent bass with alder body, 24 frets and a P-J config. Any suggestions?

I'm thinking of ordering a G4 (gecko) body, neck, parts and having a tech build a bass for me. In all, I think the bass will run about 1600-1800 including tech fees. I guess this is my version of a Fodera on a budget. How would you rate your Warmoth bass in contrast to some of the higher...

Hello all. A quick question for all the amp gurus out there. I have a Hartke LH500 driving a Fender rumble 4x10. The lh500 pumps out 500 w at 4 ohms. the rumble cab is wired at 4 ohms with a 1000w capacity, So I'm getting a full 500w out of my rig. My question is this: I'd like to get a...

Hello all, I've got an opportunity to pick up an Am Special jazz bass. Presently, I own 2 MIM jazzes that are very different from each other, but both are outstanding basses. One is the special run deluxe active with ash body and maple fretboard (Marcus Jr.), the other is an MIM standard with...

Just wanted to make sure this would not hurt my amp head. The passive input jack on my LH500 conked out on me today, although the active jack still works fine. Did a search on this but all I found was the other way around i.e. can you play an active bass thru a passive input jack.

Hello all, Guess I'm gonna be the latest guy to throw Bartolini under the bus, here. Just picked up an Ibanez SR500, and to be honest, I just gotta get those pickups outta there.. Since I'm such a fan of how the Nordstrand J pups sound in one of my jazzes, I'm looking at replacing with...

Hello all, I've got an MIM passive Jazz bass where I recently put in a pair of nordstrand NJ4SEs and a Leo Quan BAII bridge. Sounds incredible. I know making it active would allow for more tonal options, but does anyone think it would improve the overall tone? Thanks.

Hello all, My bass collection consists of 2 Fender MIM jazzes and that's it. One is the special run deluxe active, which I call Marcus Jr and is a total funk machine. The other is an MIM standard with new nordstrands and a BAII bridge. Great all-around bass. I have no intentions of getting...

Hello all, I presently have a set of DR nickel lo-riders on one of my jazz basses, and it has a pair of nordstrand NJ4SE pickups and a Leo Quan BAII bridge. I very much enjoy the tonal character and multi-dimensional sound of the lo-riders, but they have alot of "klank" in the attack, and just...

Hello all, For any who have a bass with a PJ pickup format on their bass, I was wondering how different the sound is from a bass with 2 jazz pickups. Thanks.

Hello All, I'm planning to order some Nordstrand NJ4SEs for an MIM standard jazz bass. Will these fit properly without routing or should I order something else. Thank you.

Hello All, Forgive me if this has been talked about to death. I did a search and didn't find anything. I'd like to replace the current bridge on my MIM standard jazz bass with a Badass II. Will this be a direct replacement or do additional holes need to be drilled? Thank you.

Hello All, I've decided to trade in my Fender Rumble 350 combo for a 500w half stack. I enjoy the sound and options from the rumble very much, but would like to go 500w for gigging. So here are some options that have been presented (long story short): 1) a used gallien krueger goldline 500...

Was wondering based on most people's experience with replacement pickups for a Jazz bass, what pickups were the most responsive to Jaco style harmonics. I'm thinking of putting in some Antiquity II's in a MIM standard jazz bass I have, and DiMarzio ultra jazzes in an all-maple Squier I have...

Hello all, Before I get a cab for a Hartke LH500, I thought I'd try to get some suggestions of an alternate 4x10 cab other than the Hydrive. They're great sounding cabs, but are a bit pricey for me. Plus I've been hearing more and more about "paper flutter" issues with the speakers. In fact...

Hello all, I know in the guitar world, many tend to place more importance on the amp than the guitar, since the amp is the centerpiece of your overall tone. In other words, if you play a decent guitar through a really good amplifier, you should be ok. But if you play a Paul Reed Smith through...
