I had two custom gold foil humbuckers made for my short scale. This bass has VVT controls. The humbuckers have four wires. The new Volume pots (provided by the pickup builder) are 500k and are push/pull, with two sets of contacts; there are the three typical lugs as on every pot, which I assume...

HELP! I have an Epi Allen Woody bass with two custom humbuckers with the stock wiring (VVT like a jazz bass). I want to replace the V pots with push/pull types in order to have the option of either single or double coil operation. Can anyone advise me on this? Many Thanks, =JR=

Where can I get some of those feet? All four are loose and two are cracked / chipped. I looked at the Aguilar site and didn't find a support link. Many thanks! =JR=

I have found wiring diagrams for dual HB's & coil splitting, but non using VVT, Has anyone here done it? Many Thanks.

I am down the rabbit hole searching for a pedal that will not just add a layer of fizz on top of the fundamental. I have these on hand. Have also tried out the EHX Soul Food and a Blues Driver. Thing is, I like one over another on different days, right here at home. So its hard to predict which...

I've been working on a new band project and thought a 5 string would make sense for some of the tunes. I was focused on the Sadowski MetroExpress and then saw this beauty on Bass Central and just like that I had an invoice in my inbox. It weighs 10.5 lbs but with a 3" strap it is well balanced...

I've been keeping paper notebooks for the various sub gigs I get, but the client list is growing, so I should update my tech on the gigs. I am an Android and Windows PC user fwiw. What is a suitable tablet for gigging? What is a good web source for importing chord charts and/or bass tabs for...

I got my new AMProII PBass this week. I also have a benchmark bass, my '64 PBass "voice of god" which is awesome for balance, feel & tone. So the bar is set high. The American Pro II is an excellent bass with good build quality. The balance is very good and the neck feels GREAT in the hand. On...

1988 PBass 57 reissue, made in USA. All original with the raised "A" pole pickup. The tone is full of character, open and growly with that girthy Pbass punch. Sounds P-bassy-licious with fingerstyle, flat pick, thumb mute, or slap. The neck is rock solid and it plays wonderfully. I bought this...

Are sealed cabs the choice for a classic tubes head? I am thinking classic SVT, V4, Showman heads. The original cabs for these heads were all sealed, given the available tech in those days... IDK the tech details, but something to do with damping factor, cone control etc. SO... Do tube heads...

What strings do you Starfire owners use??? I have ordered a Guild Starfire II and while waiting for it to ship...what is a good set of flats for it?

Beautiful stack pot jazz bass in the journeyman light relic finish. Back of the neck finish is worn down nicely. Body finish has light checking. Has Lindy Fralin pickups with a 3% overwind. Original pickups are also included. This bass really brings that powerful JBass tone all up and down the...

Virtually brand new. On my bass for about an hour. Just not my thing.

Here is a four ohm vertical 2 x 10 that weighs 30 lbs. How great is that? RevSound RS210, no tweeter. Heavy duty padded cover with velcro closure for 100% protection. This cab has brilliantly covered my small to medium sized gigs with only an Aguilar TH350, both electric and upright. Two years...

Great amp from the home of tone! Powerful and portable with all the features one could need and a great sounding DI. Continental US Sale only. No trades, please. FEATURES Made in Petaluma, CA USA with the World's Finest Materials Class D Power with 8/4 or 2 Ohm Impedance Switch for optimum...

Quilter Bass Block 800 amp with carry bag. Very toneful, very powerful and very lightweight! Sound huge, clear and tight. Some special sauce in the power amp section comes into play when you drive it a bit. This amp has some "feel" to it. Have used this in my home studio and some local gigs, not...

These three amps with a Barefaced Super Compact and/or RevSound RS210. Will be doing some a/b/c comparison and share my thoughts here. Unfortunately I do not have a way to capture audio of worthy quality, so written words will have to suffice. All GREAT tone machines, so there will be no real...

Rick 4003 Limited Edition Noir for sale. One of 75 built. Beautiful axe. Tone is beastly, this thing really rocks. Neck is thin front to back, is quite stable and the matte finish is very fast, not sticky like gloss. There are a couple scuffs on the back of the body. She is wearing Cobalt flats...

Assuming two bass bodies cut from Alder are as close to identical (density, moisture, grain etc) as possible... Will a two-piece body sound "better" if the seam is not down the middle, between the bridge and neck? Or in other words ALL ELSE being equal in the path between the nut and...

I think to install a preamp on a passive, 3 knob bass. Volume, blend and stacked bass/treble. Likely an Aguilar OBP2. Does anyone have a diagram for adding a push/pull volume knob to bypass the preamp so the vol pot goes straight to the output?

Never owned a Gibson product before. First played one of these at the Memphis factory store (2011?) during a weekend meander with my wife. Really didn't feel small and the tone sounded huge. Seemed like a nice addition. Was going to buy it when the wife gives me a big-eyed look and mentions that...

Never saw this before. But his fretless Jazz through a GK1000 sounded deep and fat in a large outdoor tent during the local Octoberfest. No PA support. Homemade (duh) from some type of sewer component using a freeware speaker software. Unmanipulated waveguide run amok. Certainly not for the...

This little pile of tone just getting it done. Outdoors on a large raised stage. The little TH350 and RevSound 210 just wailed away with breaking a sweat, unlike me. First set I wore ear plugs, so only heard with my feet. Second set, no plugs, small boost in the mids. Sweet powerful P-Bass...

A lovely gentleman. Turning 80 and still enjoys performing, and still getting it done.

I touched royalty last night! Heard him live once before in '77 at Paul's Mall. Solo. This time he had an excellent trio. Really fun and also intense set.

The title should get some fun comments all by itself....But I just noticed: I have gut D and G, installed conventionally with the washer underneath and the string running over the top of the tailpiece. Velvet Anima A and E are installed with the loops over the top and the string running from the...

Where are the good gigs, best hangs, open jams? Anyone coming to Boston, I'll be please to offer some tips. =JR=

One owner, Korean made JC bass. A very nice axe. NO neck dive on this one. Has Hipshot Ultralight tuners and added a ModBar at the bridge. Balances very well, very comfortable, feels light. No idea what it actually weighs, but is lighter than both of my old Fenders. Wearing TI Jazz Flats and...

Listen to America's "Tin Man". What bass/pickup makes that tone?. Very well conceived part and well performed too. Even considering signal chain may have DI, or tubes or compression etc, it sounds nothing like a Fender to my ears. Deeper & warmer with a nice bit of "bounce". Is that the sound of...

My Upton STD ply is 6 or 7 years old now and has never had any periodic setups or needed any type of repair. I have begun to cycle down the rabbit hole of string changes. With every set I have tried, the E and A play & sound well, the D is more powerful and open sounding and the G is thin and...

...in convenient, easy to carry, bars and bags...and a price reduction.

Seems to be Tennis Elbow. Pain on the outer side of the forearm, from squeezing the neck too hard. I have learned much from Chris Fitzgerald's videos, but it may be too little too late. Am taking tylenol, applying ice and wearing a strap to practice, but can only get about 15 minutes in before...

Hi Lee, Friend & cohort of Mr. Butcher here. So was that you bowing an upright on JT's "Fire & Rain"? =JR=

I have a P-Bass with a lightweight ash body, Fender Japan RI 62 Pbass neck, Hipshot Ultrlights and a Gotoh (201?) bridge. Bass is VERY comfortable and well balanced. However it has always had quite a bright, almost lightweight, tone. Have settled on Fender 9050 50-100 flats (used Chromes and...

I am grateful to be able to sub with very talented bands. Last night with the Bruce Marshall Group was a blast. With different groups and styles calling, I need to be versatile and flexible...and at my age my rig must be very lightweight. The Revsound RS210 is a vertical 210, no tweeter, 4 ohm...

Yessir, she is one sweet ride! Finally got my dream ax. Shopped a couple of dozen examples, from 63-68, even tried some 72-73's, but a guy I know showed me this one... Always GAS'd for a 64 L series. No tangible reason why that year, and L Series means nothing AFAIK. This baby has all the...

Hmmmm....

FS - New condition. Kept mostly at home, maybe 6 gigs in the year I've owned them. Micro 500 Head -$500 $400 Please PM me with offers or email to [email protected]

I found a cool app for my iPod Touch; iRealBook on the Apple App store. They do not include the melody lines for copyright evasion purposes. BUT you get hundreds of standards right on your device, transposable with two taps, editable cause they're never right.....very cool, check it out. I am...

Anyone here tried these? www.wattgrinder.com They are actually solid state devices which plug into existing tube sockets and replace the function (and the tone??) of the original tubes. Sounds interesting to me as I love tubes for bass, but always worry about their condition and maintenance.
