Ripping the frets off my £50 ebay bass and filling the holes with Polyfill.

Link Removed Link Removed

I do the same. The majority of the bass is on my chest when I play.

You can fit another one or two jazz pickups in easy. :p

Link Removed Right = £50 eBay P-Bass (32" scale) which I defretted. Left = Aslin Dane P-Copy with DiMarzio Split P's + Series/Parallel switch.

I've heard several reasons for Sound techies not using the D.I. of amps for the D.I. feed whilst searching about and the main one is Phantom Power (it seems). Today I heard about one whilst at college about the bass amp leaving "sub bass frequencies" in the signal which can cause the P.A. Subs...

http://www.guitarnuts.com/technical/cords/index.php Just read that and all will be made clear. If someone recommends you buy some stupidly expensive Oxygen Free mega-low resistance instrument cable, ignore them. :p

Ordered my AH500-7 today! It'll be here with in the week I hope. :D

My Rumble 25 exploded. The amp just frazzled and started giving off a bad smell and a fuzzy noise...So I stripped the speaker for a friends car stereo. :>

If you've got a Volume/Volume/Tone setup, you could replace one volume with a blend. Just incase you want to change pickups. :>

The Quater Pounder doesn't really have "vintage vibe".

The College I study at can't exactly afford great things (it's state!), so we're stuck with practically 100% Behringer gear and it annoys me to death. They've got a Behringer BXL 1800A for their studio and a few things I can mention about it: 1) It's heavy. REALLY heavy. 21kgs. My 2x12"/Piezo...

Bump!

People have compared the Squier Modified Jazz to the MIM Jazz. Some say it's actually better quality. I see you're in the West-Midlands, so you could possibly go to Birmingham and check both out at Bass Center. ;) Edit: Direct currency rate conversion doesn't work...

Probably a silly few questions but: 1) How do EMG active pickups have to be wired? 2) What's the tonal difference between Active/Passive EMGs? 3) Is it possible to still install custom electronics if you're using Active EMGs? Like for instance, the passive setup I suggest in my opening post...

I'm considered replacing the Pups in my AXL TIGER PRO!!! and I'm having a hard time deciding what to stick in it. It uses a J neck and MM at the bridge. Was planning to do a passive setup with Blend, Volume, Stacked Tone (pre-volume?) and Parallel/Series, but I was recently looking at EMG's...

I'm a bit of a novice at this, but surely if he's building a 4x12 which will be rated at 4ohm and 500watt, he needs to have higher impedance in the 4 speakers to make sure than the final resultant cabinet is 4ohm...Right?

My Harper 6 String Fretless. It just sits and gathers dust because it physically hurts to play.

Single Coils will Hum unless you have two which are humbucking. Standard P's are Humbucking. So basically a P/J will do this: P Only = No Hum / J Only = Hum / P + J = Hum. Atleast I think that's right. ;) On the note of sending each Pickup to it's own output on a Jazz, it'll hum...

Hold the phone a second. Just because Squiers are cheap doesn't make them "bad". I personally use a selection of second hand pulled from the dumpster kind of basses and to me, they sound wicked. You should try and not let your self be blinded by brand names as not everything ever made by a...

Squier are to Fender what Epiphone is to Gibson. I.e. The cheap cut down version for people who need a starter bass. That being said, the Squier Vintage Modified series are capable of toughing it out with cheaper Fenders. ;) REAL Fenders are far nicer to play than Squiers... Edit: Also...

It's too late now, all I see in that bass is sadness. :bawl:

You really need to put it up so it's on it's side, rather than upright. If it's upright it always looks sad, which makes me sad. :crying:

You should've tried playing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory on Windows XP 64 with an ATI Graphics card a few years back. You were better off shooting your self in the face. :D Having talked to a programmer friend, he's explained the full advantages of x86-64 over 32. Apparently XP64 has a better...

Trace Elliot AH500-7 :hiding:

64bit Operating Systems, when I last looked at them, were terrible even for basic things like Word Processing! Never mind handing applications like Cubase, even Quake 3 ran badly on top range 64bit machines! This was originally due to poor drivers on the vendors part (which has improved greatly...

Will I be shot for suggesting the DiMarzio Split-P? It sounds pretty "nasty" to me. :D

Except not. 32bit Operating Systems can only hold around 3GB Maximum memory before they physically CANNOT use anymore. If you put 4GB into a 32bit OS machine, it'd register only 3GB. On a side note, Is 64bit really a smart idea for Audio Editing?

X35 isn't out yet. X38 and X48 are. They apparently rock socks. I recommend the X38 + DDR2. DDR3 is just a waste of money. The Intel E6550 looks like the best value for money CPU from where I'm sitting too.

Link Removed I've got a little sound sample Link Removed It's in OGG so it wont play by default in Windows Media Player. It will play in Winamp, Foobar or VLC though. Either my ears are failing or the SplitP when picked right over it on lighties sounds close to what he's got there... P.S. It's...

Their problem, not mine.:p

I'm really undecided which I like more, Rosewood with Light blocks, or Maple with Dark blocks...Squier VM looks very fancy with it's natural and blockyness...But that P looks good as well. So hard to choose. :<

NT feels nicer to play than a BO...Mainly because I can reach the tiny frets.

Unless you're on incapacity benefits and don't have to pay taxes for the NHS?

Unless you have a national health service in your country. ;)

That's a lot of picks. O_O When I found my favourite, I did order it in a batch of 20, but I just played with one all the time and grew to like how it had worn in. When I lost it the others just weren't the same. :(

I've got a pair of Sennheiser HD650's and god do they sound different to a bass cab. I imagine it's mainly to do with the "flavour" of the cab and various other factors. I've tried listening to my bass through the apparent "industry standard" studio headphones (according to my music tutor) the...

I can sort of see where he's coming from. I can play much better with my fingers than with a pick, so a simulator allows me to keep my finger skill and means I wouldn't have to learn to pick properly...But I also started playing guitar recently. So the picking is carrying over from that...

If we're talking Standard ATX then the CLEAR choice for CPU is an Intel Core2Duo. The entier range has recently (last yearish) been slashed greatly in price. I think it's actually gone through a second cut...That combined with the quality and power of the CPUs Intel provide makes them the best...

Says those are Blade based, not pole pieces. Try getting the pick up closer to the strings.
