recently I converted my MIM Fender Deluxe Jazz V to passive with a VVT control with a push/pull series/parallel switch in the neck pickup volume pot. Everything seems to be working correctly, other than the fact that i still get sound out of it even with all of the knobs turned off. What could...

I would like to make a homemade vvt control to replace the active controls on my deluxe jazz v, but I'm lost on what parts I will need. I know I will obviously need some pits and a control plate, but I don't know anything about bass electronics.

Moderators, please feel free to move this if it is in the wrong place. I currently ran into a situation where I can no longer play bass at my church. I am the only actual bassist there, but one of our guitar players is willing to give it a shot. The church wants to either rent one of my...

This is my first thread over here in the luthier's corner, but I've been a lurker here ever since joining TB. This build is really a conversion, but it centers around a custom neck and bridge, both drop-in replacements. Some background on the build - ever since joining here, I've had GAS...

I've been having trouble with getting a good sound out of the low B. When I got the bass, I was a novice player and didn't realize how bad the low B sounded. Now, with a more developed ear, I ha e turned away from the bass cause of it. I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to the strings since...

I'm trying to come up with a cab design for a 10" driver out of a combo amp I have sitting around. I've seen winISD mentioned several times, but here's the problem - there are no markings or labels on the actual driver, so I can't accurately plug it into the software. Is there a generic driver...

I want to separate my combo amp into a separate head and speaker. all that connects them is the actual speaker cable. Here's the question - is the speaker cable mono, stereo, or phono? I plan on putting connectors on the ends of the existing cable and possibly make a small speaker cable, but I...

I have an Acoustic B450 combo amp and any time I use one of my fivers (a fender jazz and schecter stiletto extreme) the amp distorting out on the low B when bringing it up to match an open and loud drum kit. It almost sounds like its busted, but only on the B string. All others sound wonderful...

I have a Fender Deluxe Jazz V (MIM) and Im thinking about trying out some LaBellla Tapewounds on it. Anyone have any experience with this kind of setup?

Just curious as to what the popular strings are for all the acoustic bass players here. I don't have a favorite yet, but I'm going to make my way around to each type someday...

Would this work? I've got an old peavey practice amp that I'm thinking about pulling apart so I can use the head as a preamp. Its a Peavey 110 Max combo amp.

I'm looking into making my own bass as a "fun" project. I'm a machining student and have been thinking about crafting the body, neck, and fret board out of aluminum. Other than the fact of this being a heavy bass, do you all think that this will have any ill effects? I mainly want it to be...

Can anyone recommend some good pickups? The originals just aren't cutting it anymore and looking to upgrade. I have my eye on the Basslines SJ5-3S right now. Anything else close to that price point...

I've never been really into country music, but I've had an opportunity come up to play in a country group. I was wandering if you all could help me determine which of my basses would be the best for the job. I don't have any money to put towards a new one, so this is what I'm stuck with. Here...
