    Dark Eko 995

    Hey Justin, I picked up an EKO 995 for dirt cheap, and after reading so many great things about it here over the years, I just couldn’t resist pulling the trigger. I sent it straight to my luthier for a setup, and he found a capacitor in the neck pickup circuit that cuts a lot of high...

    Strings for Hofner

    Hey Justin, I have two Hofner 182s (I think they’re more or less the same model as your 185, with staple pickups). Since I have two—well, the second one is arriving next week—I was thinking about changing the strings to get two different tonal flavors. I currently have La Bella flats on my old...

    Fender Musicmaster

    Hi Justin, Have you ever played an early-’70s Musicmaster? I’m wondering how similar it is to a Mustang from the same era. I’ve seen Nigel Godrich rocking one live with Ultraista, and it sounded pretty cool. Thanks!

    P Bass Pickups

    Hey Justin, I have a question about P-Bass pickups. I own a great-sounding ’74 P-Bass loaded with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pound pickups. I still have the original pickups, and lately I’ve been wondering if it’d be worth reinstalling them — I’m kind of tempted by the idea of bringing the bass...

    60s retro bass sound. Hofner, Eko, Vox...

    Hi Justin, I’d love to ask you about retro bass sounds in general, and more specifically about ‘60s short-scale hollow-body basses. You have a Hofner Club and an EKO 995. I assume you’ve compared them to the classic Hofner 500/1 Violin Bass, right? Could you share the differences you’ve...

    Chorus

    Hey Justin, Given your Post Punk vibes and synth expertise, I'm curious about your go-to chorus gear, especially for synths. I figure you're all about mono pedals for bass, but what's your setup like for synths, vocals, and guitars? Are you rocking the classics like the Roland Dimension D or...

    Peavey T40

    Hi Justin Did you have the chance to listen to the differences between the two pickup models used on the Peavey T40? Blades and Toasters. I saw your black one in Instagram and she has toasters, so probably is an earlier model. I think they changed the wood at some point, as well. Anything else...

    66 P Bass Vs 67 Mustang

    Hi Justin, I think it's time for me to invest in a 60s Fender bass for studio purposes (I'm a producer/guitar&bass player) I'm already a happy owner of a 74 P Bass, 77 Jazz Bass, Hofner 185 and EKO 995. Just to put things in context. I've found a couple of great pieces online. One is a 67...
