Hands-down, Digital Man off of 1982’s signals. Now I know a lot of you are going to be scratching your heads at this, but throw on some headphones and put this track on - it has everything - amazing improv, snarl, attitude, melody.. and that tone! oh my God! I’m pretty sure that’s his jazz...
I have recently gone down a deep dive with the Fender Mustang bass.
I started by ordering a JMJ and spending a bit of time with it. After a week or so I was able to play a Vintera ll at the local Guitar center. And after another week or so, I was actually able to play one of the new American...
My new JMJ model. I am a tinkerer. Cant help it. Witch hat knobs. Pick up covers removed for a little more crispy top end. If I end up keeping the covers off, I will wrap the copper wiring with some pick up tape to protect the coil… Just testing things now. Vintage threaded barrels for wider...
Well, I keep doing this. My latest alteration is a fender, gold foil, jazz in two color sunburst. I’ve been interested in this bass since they came out and have played a few of them, but they all just sound pretty bad in my opinion. Also every single one I picked up in the various guitar...
I had a couple of old G&L bases hanging around just not getting much action and I decided to have some fun. The body on this is from a 1983 SB-2, it was black I stripped it and White washed it with a couple of coats of true oil to protect. So it’s kind of a matte white trans finish. The neck is...
I'm enjoying this new creation of mine so much, I thought I'd share it with the group. What you're seeing here is a 1988 G&L L1000 ash body that was originally Clear Blue. I had a body finishing guy on the east coast finish it in black/red or "Blackberry". The neck is from a 1983 G&L SB-2.. 1...
Helloooo! Being too rambunctious, I inadvertently busted the lead off of my Lollar P Pickup. You know the small single copper wire that attaches to the pickup. Can I just simply solder that tiny lead back on the little solder area where it broke off? Or do I need to have it professionally...
I recently put a 51P bass Replacement neck on a jazz body and didn’t stop there. Don’t love the old Tele Style headstock so I grabbed a drill and a half round file and went to work. Took about an hour. Fairly close to a Sadowsky headstock. What do you think?

Hello! Like many other musicians, I've basically played Legos with Fender instruments for decades.. quite by accident I've put together a really fantastic Frankenstein P bass that has taken the place of my beloved '71 P for gigging.
Neck is the Made in Mexico '51 (baseball bat) replacement...

What is your desert island amplifier??Your all-time favorite? There can only be one…
OK I’m posting this because I want to shout from the hilltops about my all-time favorite amp…The mighty Carvin B1500. I don’t care that it’s big I don’t care that it’s bulky. I don’t care that it weighs 35...
The very 1st bass I purchased with my own hard earned money while still in high school was just like this Kramer Stagemaster Standard, but mine was trans blue. It's basically a P bass. Vol/Tone, Split P pickup. I'd love to see some of your favorite non Fender Precision basses. Let's say the...

Ok. I admit I did try a TH500 like 10 years ago briefly and made a quick judgement ruling it out as an amp that just wouldn't work for me as it didn't have enough top end and was too colored tonally. Times change, tastes change etc.. I've been on the hunt for a super transparent amp that is...
Hello!
I'm building a Fender Parts PJ. I have everything done but the bridge Jazz pickup. My P pickup is the standard Lollar P pickup. It has an output of 11.0k. What level of output should I look for with the bridge Jazz pickup in order to have similar volume level to the P when soloed - at...

Up for sale, one stock Lakland 4 string bridge. These are pretty rare as they're not available as parts from Lakland. I've had it sitting around for a couple years and may as well let someone else have some fun with it. It does have the string through capability as well as normal string holes...
Hello! I'm setting up a PJ and want to wire it V/T/3-way. I'd like to use a 3-way toggle instead of the Blade switch. Can any 3 way toggle do the same thing as a 3 way blade? Or do I need a specific 3-way toggle to do what the the 3 way blade does?
Thanks folks!

Hello!
I have a project precision bass that i'm dialing in and want to give it a try in parallel. I'm looking for a little crisper top end out of the pickup. I've already done the 500k pots trick and still looking for a little brighter output. I know this will reduce the vol and tonal quality...
This Epic 59 pickup sounds amazing and was a drastic improvement over the stock pickup in my precision but not quite the tone profile I was looking for for this project. My loss is your gain as they say :) I bought this directly from Klein pickups for $150 - it was gently installed in my bass...
My main gigging and recording bass is an old Frankenstein, Fender P with a 1971 body, a 1968 telecaster neck and an actual 1959 precision pick up. It is the best sounding precision bass I’ve ever played and I’ve never found anything that comes close to it in any music store sonically. I’ve been...

I recently installed a couple of new MFD G&L Humbuckers in a project bass. While they sound really good, they are HIGHLY sensitive to touch when in parallel or series modes. Meaning if you touch the pickups while playing, you can hear it. If you use the pickup as a thumb rest you can hear your...
