Howdy everyone! I'm in the market for a new amp head for playing at home, and I'd love y'all's input! My ideal head would: 1. Fit on top of my Revsound 2x8 cab (so no more than about 12"x12") 2. Sound like a Fender Rumble (specifically I mean have a warm tone that's significantly colored by the...

Hello all! I've got a heavily-modified Talman bass with dual reverse P pickups in it. I'd like to try swapping them out for G&L SB-1 pickups but I'm not sure how to do the wiring. I'd like to have a volume/blend/tone setup as well as a switch (possibly a push/pull volume?) that would switch the...

Hello everyone! I'm on a quest to find my ideal bass. I'm looking for a 30" scale with a P-bass nut width (1.625ish, not 1.75), and a profile like the old Geddy Lee basses (the super-thin version). I know the Ibanez SR500 series also has about the same thickness (~18-19mm at the nut, and...

There's a picture of a bass (which I think was a Jazz, but I'm not sure) that was a beautiful black but with very visible grain. I can't find it anywhere. Have any of you seen it?

So how much money have you dropped into your cheap bass? I just spent about $550 to put into my new Ibanez Mikro that cost me $175 with a nice hard case. (I'll do an NBD post once all the parts come in and I've finished modding it).

Hey guys (and gals), I've had an idea and wanna see what y'all think. I just got an Ibanez Mikro which I plan on modifying extensively. I'd really like to play with LA Bella Copper Whites, but they only make them in 34" scale (the Mikro has a 28" scale). My idea is to drill for a through...

I found a luthier about an hour away from me who will crown and level the frets, install a new nut (I'm providing the blank), and setup my bass for $150. Does that sound pretty reasonable? Thanks!

Hello! I'd like to wire up my PJ with a single volume, two tones, a 4 way radial selector (that would go P pickup, P-J in series, P-J in parallel, J pickup), and a 2-way switch to make the P pickups in parallel or series. I'd like to use all 500k pots. What value cap(s) should I use? Does...

Could someone who owns one of these measure the thickness of the neck (from the fretboard to the back of the neck, not the nut width) please? I'm possibly in the market for one, but I'd like to know how thick it is first :) If you have other short scale SXs feel free to post their neck...

Hey peoples! I'm trying to find a bass with the following wishlist: Short (or medium) scale P/J pickups A 62 neck (I have a foto flame, and I love the neck. I've heard it's the same as a 62. It's 1.75" at the nut, but much thinner [fingerboard to thumb] than most P-bass necks) 19mm bridge...

Hey everyone! I'm on the search for some pickups, and I play nylon tapewounds exclusively. Sadly, there's really not a whole lot of sound samples with tapewounds. I was wondering if those of you who have tapewounds could record some samples and post them with what pickups you're using so I can...

Hello everyone! I'm looking to get a custom P/J in the next year and I'm wondering what luthiers y'all would recommend for that? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a place where a professional can look over my bass and just make sure it's all good. I've done my own setup and like how it feels, but I have a slight string buzz, and I'd like someone who knows what they're doing to check the frets and such. Any suggestions for...

Hey peoples! I have a Squier Pro Tone V (Which I believe has Mighty Mites in it?), that I'd like to upgrade the pickups in. I posted in another thread that my plan is to wire it up with concentric Vol/Vol, a high pass and a low pass. I'm currently trying to decide on which pickups I want...

Hey everyone! I'm brand new here, and also brand new to bass electronics, but I've been doing some research (A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing ;) ) and I have an idea I'd like to run past y'all. I just bought a Pro-Tone V which as far as feel goes, is my dream bass. The problem...

Hello everyone! I'm new here, but I've been playing bass for several years now and enjoy it immensely! I learned to play on a P-bass that had the most unusual neck I've ever felt. It was obviously fairly wide (since it's a P-bass) but had an extremely thin C-shape. A professional bassist...
