I picked up a modified mid 80s Fender P bass with an added J. It has a rosewood fingerboard, and came with bartolinis installed. I am not a huge fan on the subdued sound of them. I am planning on changing the V/V/T to s 3 way switch and V/T. I want to get a noiseless J pickup. Wilde...

Hi all, found a bass at a local guitar center that raises a few questions. The GC employee and I pulled the J pickup out and saw machine drilled screws, but the pickup hole was widened to fit a bartolini pickup. I am not sure if fender ever made a PJ in those production years, and the GC...

I have had my MTD for about a month now, and I am on the fence about the standard stingray style humbucker in it, The electronics seem to have a wide response to them, but something just feels lacking with the sound, It seems to be lacking the warmth my old musicman had. Has anybody ever...

I am looking at purchasing a SQ serial number Squier P-bass. I was hoping some one might have a bass from this serial number batch and maybe be able to help me decide if I should purchase it. I am unable to play the bass as it is in a pawn shop over 700 miles away. The Bass has the skunk...

Been a lurker for a bit, first time posting. I have been amazed by the amount of help all of you provide to each other and was hoping you could aid me as well. I have an old Ampeg B-50R amp I love, but it is not loud enough. Last time I used it when playing with some Jazz musicians I was...
