I Have I shortscale ibanez EHB1000s. I wonder if I can use long scale strings on it since you cut the string short and don't wind the string.
The ball end attaches at the bridge.
I bought a used bass and have a hard time finding info about it. It seems as the manufacurer changed names from Clive to Dame. It's a Korean brand that has a different name in USA and Europe. It's called Sire there.
My bass has an 18 volt 2 band preamp with two switches. The first one is for...
I recently modded my Sire P7 second gen. with a Fender roasted neck and Schaller tuners. I think it looks Great! Sounds Great too. I needed to lightly sand the neck pocket to fit the neck.
I recently got a Ray34. I have a Duncan STC-3M3 left from another project.
Is it worth it to switch preamps? There is nothing wrong with the stock preamp.
Should I just sell the duncan preamp?
I have a Seymour Duncan preamp laying around and a Sterling Ray35 bass.
I'm not playing much right now, since I became weak in my left arm after stroke last september. I'm on sick leave looking for projects and things to do. Any reason to swap out the preamp in the Sterling Ray35 to the Duncan...
I just got a used non graphite Status Energy 5. It's been modded with an Aguilar OBP-3 preamp.
Should I do anything to protect the finish where the clear coat has been worn off? It's a thin satin poly finish.
The bass is really easy to play. A bit on the heavy side though
I did some straight recordings trying out all the cab sims on the combo using an active jazz bass. No eq. Both pickups full on. Tone up!
The cabs are: Fliptop, bassman,810,session, bass360, superflats in that order.
I'll post some pictures of my J-tone installation into my Swedish handmade Lighthouse jazz.
It was stock passive with a tone styler.
Nice box from east
Off goes the wires
Screw into the terminals - separete terminal for the bridge ground wire.
Battery goes under the preamp.

I just bought a Swedish handmade jazz clone. The Brand is called Lighthouse. They tried producing highend basses a couple of years ago. The only popular basses i Sweden at the time were relict Fenders, so they stopped producing. I have two of their basses. Hipshot bridge and tuners...
I just got this Fender HM5. Bought it online on the swedish version of Craigs list.
Can anyone tell me more about it?
I think it was made during 1988 to 1991 in Japan for the US market.
It has 3 jazz bass pickups, 5 way switch and a TBX tone control.
I just bought this at an online auction. I got a good price. I can't find any reviews or opinions on the bass online. Any mim passive Dimension owners here?
I think it plays great.
It seems to be out of stock everywhere in Europe. Seems to discontinued at the Fender website.
Here are the...
Peavey gigbag for two basses. I found one on sale at a local peavey supplier in Sweden. No picture in the ad.
I can't find any info on the internet about it. Has anyone seen/ used one?
Thanks!
I'm building a Stingray 5 clone. I'ts going to get an alder body, Status Graphite neck, Seymour Duncan mm-pickup and a Hipshot bridge.
Instead of an onboard preamp I'm going to get a pedal preamp to use between the bass and the amp.
Do you have any opinions on what pedal pre will sound closest...

Great bass! Do you think I should use it with or without the pickguard?

I can't find any info on the preamp. It's a KH-1 2-band 9 volt preamp. Anyone know if it's Seymour Duncan or an ESP made?
Hello!
I bought a used Korean made Star bass 5. I love the bass, but I cannot find the factory specs for string height.
I guess I can set the bass up by trial and error, but I prefer to setup my basses to factory specs and tweak them after.
Any one know what string height Warwick suggests?
Hello!
I have a Peavey Millennium plus US made bass.
It has a broken mid concentric potentiometer. I have removed it from the preamp and it's broken beyond repair. I have mailed and phoned the local Swedish Peavey dealer and contacted peavey directly. I yet to recive a new pot yet and It's been...
Hello!

Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement? What kind of pot to buy?
I emailed peavey 2 weeks ago, but havn't got a reply.
thanks!

Did some shielding to get rid of the enormous hum! I tried with conductive paint first, but I wasn't happy with the results, so I shielded every cavity with copperfoil.
Now the bass is dead silent! :)
I just bought a Status Stingray 5 graphite neck. I want to make a Stingray 5 style bass. I wish to know if there is somewere I can buy a Stingray 5 clone body? Preferably a 6 bolt neck pocket. I figure I'll get a hipshot bridge. I can't stand the Musicman bride copies available!
Anyone?
Thanks :)
I have a nice Hamer Cruise with delano pickups that I want to upgrade with a preamp.
Does anyone have any advice on a preamp I can install without drilling into the bass?
I would prefer 3 stacked pots.

I would like some opinions on what stringtree to install.
I figure since no holes are drilled in the new neck I get to choose the best alternative.
I'm going with nickel schaller BML tuners and an all black stingray 5 body. The bride is original nickel/chrome.
Thanks for you input!

I have a dark red Stingray 5 from the late 80ties and a semi-new black Sterling ray35. I really like the black on black look with a graphite neck on a black bass. My question if you think the Indonisian bass deserves the fancy status neck? Is the eq and body materials as good as the real...
I want a stingray with a status graphite neck.
Is there any point buying a US stingray when I'm discarding the neck?
Is the wood or electronics better than an asian built stingray?
I can't find any threads about Steinberger brand strings.
Anyone tried them?

I recently bought a Clover slapper bass and want to explore the world of double ball end strings.
I just bought a Clover Slapper from the late 80ties.
It's a german made bass with carbon fiber neck and a 18 volt german Noll preamp with bartolini pickups. Great soundning bass. It plays like a dream. Really great quality all through!
I recently bought a used Yamaha TRB1005j, and wish to set it up to standard specs.
Does anyone know what string height, neck relief and pickup height is recommended by Yamaha?
Thanks!
I have a JV squier Jazz from 1983 made in Japan missing a pickguard. Does anyone know where I can get a black pickguard the right size ?
best wishes!

I recently got a used Squire JV made in Japan.
The previous owner put EMG's in it and removed the ground strip that connects the bridge with the bridge pickup.
The thing hummed like crazy with singlecoils!
What to do? I wanted to fix the bass right away, but it was evening and no stores...
I have a Squire JV MIJ 1983 with a missing pickguard.
I have two different pickguards from my other jazzes, one mij and one mim. The screw holes doesn't align right.
Does anyone know what pickguard model to order?
Any suggestions where I'd order it from?
Thanks! :hyper:
