    NBD: Lawsuit era P Bass

    Just picked up this P bass for £100 ($130). Guy I bought it off said the pickups had been replaced with ones from an old hohner as the originals were dead, but sounds huge, and plays like buttah. The sticker seems to have dissolved into the finish, giving a cool effect, but it definitely looks...

    $25 DBZ Bass Overhaul

    Bought this bass for £20 ($25) from a friends music shop. We bought it with no idea at all about the instrument at all. No idea of the condition or even colour of the bass underneath. It doesn't even have strings and missing a tuning key so we don't even know how it'll sound. The guy got...

    String alignment question...

    I took apart my parts bass (no-name alder P body, Squier J rosewood/maple neck) for cleaning a couple of days ago, and threw it back together last night, but now my E string is very close to the edge of the fretboard (~1mm at the heel) and the g-string in quite far away (~8mm at the heel). The...

    Very simple question about pickups

    Say for instance there are two p bass pickups that exist. Both are wound to 10,000 turns with 42 awg poly coated wire at the same tension, both use the same size alnico V magnets, equally magnetised, potted in the same wax at the same time and are then wired to 2 (hypothetical) vt wiring...

    wiring for vtt in active bass

    The bass in question is my Squier Jaguar, where the original eq stage of the preamp has been removed. I wanted to add 2 tone controls (cut only rc circuits) one standard (250k, .047uf) and one to just filter out string noise (any ideas which values for this?). the remainder of the preamp is...

    Pedal that replaces fundamental?

    Has anybody made an effects pedal that replaces the fundamental of a note with a different kind of wave? Like keeping the rest of the harmonics, but swapping the fundamental, for a sort of semi-synth effect.

    Multi p pickup

    I was listening to some p bass recordings earlier, and thinking, could (hypothetically) a single coil p pickup (maybe a noiseless) and a standard split coil set be fit into a soapbar style casing? I know the positioning would be a bit off, but could the split coils bobbins be made shorter? I was...

    Additional control to fill space in control plate

    I'm looking at replacing the pre in my vm jaguar hb with a bassmods BEQ12-34PTAP, but i dont want/need the blend control (I use a pickup selector switch), so I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions as to what to put in it's place. I like additional functionality, so some kind of...

    Odd saddle positions

    I was setting up my friend's bass earlier and after setting the string length/intonation (using 12th fret harmonics and fretted notes) the position of the saddles ended up looking really strange. Is there any reason for this? Is this "right" or "normal"?
