    Why is my bass making a fizzy sound when notes are played?

    Never mind, got it sorted!

    Alternative P Pickup orientation

    I've been messing around with a Squier P recently, doing a few experiments. Added a bridge pickup, changed the wiring to that of a stack knob jazz bass, tried a few different tone caps, so far so good. I had an idea though, and it's something I've never seen done but i think it might be...

    Ashdown VS412-600 cabinet?

    Does anyone know anything about this cabinet? I'm in the market for a new cabinet and at first glance this looks rather tasty. I can't find any reviews at all online however. Does anyone have any experience with this cab?

    How will another 1x15" effect my volume?

    Normally, I'd know the answer to this question. I already use a 1x15", so doubling that area should add around 3dB, right? However, due to some regrettable short sightedness on my part about a year ago, I bought a 4 ohm speaker. If I were to add another identical one, that would leave me with an...

    'Vintage Icon' Fretless Jazz pickguard

    I recently bought one of these basses, and it's all Jaco style without the pickguard. I like that look, but I want to try a pickguard on it I think. Does the standard Fender version fit on these?

    De-Fretting Sterling Sub Ray4

    Has anyone done this? Encountered any specific problems? I've been going crazy recently over the fretless musicman sound, but I'm on a bit of a budget. There's absolutely no way I can afford a fretless stingray any time in the foreseeable future, and the only way I can get this is either to...

    How much will another 1x15" increase my volume by?

    I'm currently running a single 1x15 cabinet with a Bugera 1960 tube amp, which is rated to around 100w/150w. This is really really loud when it's run into heavy breakup, but at a volume where the bass is still reasonably clean, it just isn't loud enough for what I'm trying to do. My...

    Powerballs

    Hi, I just wanted to share something with you guys, I hope you find it useful. Earlier on today, I was going through some old stuff I had and I found one of these; Link Removed I hadn't used one in years and years, but I picked it up and started using it, and it felt brilliant. I had...

    Do I need to worry about ruining my cab with a Bugera 1960?

    Hi, I'm thinking of picking up a 1960 by Bugera, which is a reasonably powerful tube amp. I'll be playing it through a 1x15 cab that I built myself, with an Eminence Legend 15" bass speaker. The cab is tuned to around 40hz, and is ported. Now, I intend to play this loud, mostly rock and...

    Squier CV Jazz vs VM Jag Special Humbucker

    Basically, I've been saving up money recently, and I'd like to get a new bass. I already have a Squier Affinity Pbass, and short scale Gretsch Electromatic, both with flatwounds. However, I've been looking for something with a little bit more variation and ability to cut through the mix in a...

    Different tone on E/A than D/G with PJ

    Hi, a while ago I added a jazz pickup to my Pbass. I spent quite a while getting the placement right, so as to get the tone I wanted. Now, after getting used to it, something is bothering me. The tone on the E and A strings is fantastic, like exactly what I'm looking for. However, the tone on...

    Adding a passive Hi-Pass filter to a cabinet

    Recently, I built my own 1x15 cabinet, and after getting it to sound as good as I can with stuffing etc, I'm still suffering from some infrasonic mud, with the speaker experiencing a pretty large amount of excursion. I'd like to buy a HPF in the form of a pedal, but I've been looking around for...

    Bass cabinet midrange distortion?

    Having recently custom built a 1x15 bass cabinet, I was surprised to find that it seems to distort in a way that I'm not familiar with. Basically, It seems to create an odd, honky distortion in the midrange, when the midrange is boosted heavily. It's also most pronounced when playing a J bass...

    Gretsch G2202 vs G2210

    I recently got my hands on one of the new G2210 basses from Gretsch, and if you're into shortscale I'd say it's one of the best new basses available in it's price range (I got mine for £190). However, I've heard great things about the earlier version, the G2202, specifically about the TV Jones...

    Building a ported 1x15 cabinet

    Hi, this is my first post here, although I've been looking around for a good while now. Anyway, what I'm trying to do is build a cabinet for an Eminence Legend CA154 that I happen to have, and I've run into a few problems at the design stage. Mostly, I find WinISD to be somewhat confusing, and...
