    Need a recommendation for vintage-y P-Bass pickups that will actually fit in my bass!

    I am building a Warmoth Jazzmaster bass with P-bass pickups. I bought a Seymour Duncan Antiquity II pickup, but the weird metal plate makes it so it won't fit in the pickup hole! I'm pretty bummed because I was looking forward to that sound. I am going back to the drawing board, but I am not...

    What are the noticeable differences between single-coil and standard P-bass pickups?

    I am building a Warmoth bass and I am wondering what are the big differences (if any) between a single-coil 51/54 style P-Bass pickup, like the style of pickup in the Sting bass vs a standard P-Bass pickup. I play more rock stuff with a little bit of distortion. I just kinda like how the single...

    Does my dream bass exist - a P bass with Jazz neck?

    I'm thinking about doing a Warmoth build, but I want to check if something like this exists already. I'm a die-hard Fender Jazz bass fan, but I want a second bass with that vintage Fender P-Bass sound. I hate P bass necks and don't love how they look, so I was going to make a Jazzmaster bass...

    SansAmp Bass Driver DI vs V2 vs Programmable vs Deluxe?

    Hello, I'm not super knowledgeable about these pedals. Our old drummer had a Sansamp Bass Driver DI v1 that I used, and loved, but he moved and I'm looking to buy one. As far as I can tell though, there are maybe 4 models (not including the Geddy Lee one): - the Bass Driver v1, which I'm...

    Can I record direct bass tone from Ampeg head XLR out?

    I ordered an Ampeg micro VR SVT head recently. I love it, it sounds great. One issue though: there's an XLR direct out coming from the head.

    Building a custom Warmoth Jazzmaster bass, and need recs for vintage sounding pickups to look into

    Hi all, I am building a custom Warmoth jazzmaster bass with a fender jazz neck. I already have an American Jazz bass that I love, so I was hoping to have this fill the role of a vintage sounding P-Bass, with the different shape since I really dislike P-bass bodies and necks.

    [Advice] Confused about differences between Fender Rumble Cabs

    Hello, I am a little confused on the options for Fender Rumble cabs. I have a Fender Rumble combo that I really love, and recently picked up a David Eden 800T head. My head can run 440 Watts in each channel at 4ohms, so I can run two cabs at 440W each - or it can do a bi-amp mono mode that runs...

    My bud bought a used Ampeg cab and on the back it says "imputs" instead of "inputs" I just watched a documentary about fake products in the US marketplace and they said this is the #1 tell something is a forgery. What do y'all think?

    Recommendations on J-Bass pickups that handle a little bit of distortion, but keep their punch.

    I am considering replacing my stock Fender Highway-1 jazz pickups and have listened to a ton of reviews on YouTube, but I know nothing about electronics and pickups. My band plays a weird mix of alt, punk, surf, and new wave. You can hear a more indie/alt song here that features the bass...

    My wife and I are selling our house, and luckily I will have a little bit of fun money. I have been really going back and forth on what I should do with it.

    Rebuilding a combo bass housing (not a detached cab)

    I have a biggish Fender Rumble combo amp. It's a pretty cheap amp, but I really love how it sounds and use it as my main gigging amp. Invalid Link Removed I let a friend borrow it for a while, and they put it in a leaky basement. It still works and sounds fine, but there is mold all over...
