Earlier at rehearsal I was playing my PJ bass with geezer butler pickups and I switched to my Schecter with active humbuckers. Everyone loved Schecter. Before I spend out on new active pickups for my Pj bass, can I make passive pickups sound active?

I think I’m done. HX STOMP XL + Darkglass B1K and MXR M87 in effects loops. Every time I see a YouTube video of a new pedal I reflect and realise that my setup does everything. Being honest I only keep the B1K in the effects loop because I’m maxing out my DPS. One day I’m sure I’ll but a HX...

I’m pretty happy with my bass tone here: AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long: Bass: Fender Jaguar Pickups: EMG GZR PJ Strings: Rotosound Ultramag Effects: HX Stomp XL, MXR M87 Preset: Alex Strabala’s SVT: Bass - Helix SVT + Noble v1 — Alex Strabala

I’m new to using a Sansamp bass driver so am interested how all of you use it for LIVE TONE. By this, I mean what the audience hears, I’m not worried about how you monitor yourself on stage, how do you get your Sansamp tone to the masses?

when playing live, what will come after my Sansamp bass driver if I go DI to FOH. mic preamp? EQ? Compressor?

At home, practicing, I nail every song. At rehearsal, I’m OK live, I make more mistakes than I can count Then I go to practice the songs at home and everything is perfect again Why is this and how can I overcome my curse?

this week i auditioned for a band and it went great. I played through my HX Stomp XL with an MXR M87 compressor in the effects loop. Then an error hit. Somehow none of my patches did anything. Clean sounded great, no problems there. But none of my gain snapshots did anything, not even fuzz. I...

Fall out boy: sugar we're going down

I’m happy if the answer is no, so here it goes. I from the offset fender world where the bridges work better with some neck angle, maybe a 1 degree shim at most. My fender Jaguar does not have a shim and the action is perfect despite being almost bottomed out at the bridge. There is no...

I’ve been a fan of Jack off Jill’s bass tone since my teenage years but have never discovered what bass Robin Moulder played. There’s nothing or nearly nothing online. From these photos, what bass is Robin Moulder playing live in Jack off Jill?

Last Night I realised why my tone was ‘bad’ to my ears all these years: I had followed the general advice of compressor first! I couldn't understand why my tone was subpar. It just didn't sound as good as others or the sound in my head. I ran Fender Jaguar bass with EMG PICKUPS into an HX Stomp...

What should I be looking for when creating an IEM setup for my band? Guitar, bass, laptop, keyboards, main vocals, backing vocals 7/8 inputs

Check out my cover of All The Small Things. Gear: - Jaguar Bass - EMG GZR pickups - MXR M87 compressor - HX Stomp XL

I’m thinking of upgrading from Fender Player PJ to some Bareknuckle pickups. Does anyone have experience with this brand?

I am running a biamp rig with my HX stomp, which eats DPS like crazy. I have a Darkglass B1K I am exploring as part of my signal chain, and wondered how people here would place it.

I’m giggling for the first time in a year or so and have my HX stomp as my main sound. I have no amp. So I need a backup like a Sansamp or other just in case the HX goes down before/ during the gig?

I finally bit the bullet and paid out for a set. Wow! They are maybe my favourite string ever. The feel is smooth, the tension even, and the tone is somewhere between nickel and stainless steel. For me it’s the best string!

In September I bought a Fender player Jaguar bass. New Hi-Mass Bridge, Black TUSQ nut, Hipshot detune, and GZR PJ Pickups, it sounds great. Seriously, zero complaints and a great thin neck. Now I’m in Tokyo, and found the Invalid Link Removed. JESUS CHRIST! I have no idea who Tomomi is, but it...

I’m visiting Tokyo and want some recommendations on where to go looking for basses in the city. Please help

I want to switch between my active and passive basses live with just the use of one pedal. The EHX Signal Pad comes to mind as the obvious choice, but is there another way? Should I still use a compressor with my active pickups as I do with my passive?

Thinking about round wound strings only as we know flat wound strings last forever

What’s the difference between the two? Is there any difference in the mix?

It is starting to become something I never expected..

I have a decent Fender short cable, maybe 3’, but should I be buying the high end Mogami et al. Cables for recording? Here is a DI of a track I recorded the other night using the Fender cable:

reevaluating my setup technique and I wonder what you do to measure and set your relief.

Is the keyboardist rebooting Cubase every song to load different VSTs normal or are they doing something really wrong?

With the flurry of trade tariffs kicking off, I’m pooling recommendations of non-USA pickup winders. Please add your own country’s winders. UK Bare Knuckle Gemini Fletcher

Any feedback is more than welcome!

I put a set of EMG GZR in my Player Jaguar bass l, and those Player PJ pickups in a project bass. The project bass has a constant low level buzz unless I touch the metal, when with the single coil J turned off, while the EMGs are dead silent. Project bass has a copper sheet shielding the...

Short story shorter: I built a P Bass and was very disappointed with the E string. It just sounded plummy compared to the rest (while using EMG GZR PJ pickups). As the saddle screws angled down when the height was set, i shimmed the neck with .5 degrees in desperation. Wow! The play and feel is...

I have a parts bass that never clicked with me even with EMG GZR pickups. So in frustration I swapped the EMGs into my player Jaguar bass (now they sound great) so have a set of player PJ spare. In desperation, I’m considering transitioning this bass into a flats P, but are the player II PJ set...

The Mexican necks gave larger holes than the American necks so the deluxe tubers don’t fit. Are there any conversion bushings available?

What pickups can you recommend to do in a PJ with flats. I’m considering going with just a p pickup, removing the J and leaving the slot empty, but we shall see. I have a player PJ set sitting in a box, but I’m unsure if they’re good for the job.

Does anyone have experience with an active bass into an empress compressor? Does the volume input control still work ok?

My P bass has a set of Geezer Butler PJ pickups and my Jaguar bass has a set of Player PJ pickups. While my Jaguar sounds incredible with my helix (Sansamp patch) the EMGs sound muddy and undefined. Am I setting something wrong on the helix ? I ok work out how I dislike God’s favourite pickups...

I ordered a Fender Jaguar bass, and the tone and playability is great. However the Pau Ferro looks VERY light/ orange. My other PF fingerboard guitar looks nearly identical to rosewood, and I’m not in the tonewood camp. It’s just cosmetic. Am I weird for thinking of returning the bass because I...

I have a HX stomp and EMG GZR PJ set, and the pickups seem too hot for the unit, even with input set to Line. I am just being an idiot or do I need an attenuator first in my signal chain?

My E sounds dead and muted compared to the other four strings. Kind of sound hollow and plummy compared to the others. In my years of playing I’ve never experienced this. My bass is a partscaster, but with a Fender Deluxe bridge, string through construction, Black TUSQ nut, going to Fender...

I’ve sold my Pod Go. It was great for the last four years, bought for guitar tones with it frankly nailed. But the past year I have been back deep into bass and have been frustrated the whole time. My frustration came to a head while on holiday, with my brain increasing in tension about how to...

Ok, why is the P pickup potted but the bridge pickup isn’t. It seems odd to me…
