    Squier Pbass special edition x Fender MIM

    JaySeeDoubleYou Thanks a lot for your opinion. Do you think that the squier pickups are worse than fender pickups? In any case, to do a pickup upgrade is very simple, even I can do this, and the final price will remain lower than the price of MIM fender.

    How big is the difference between 34" and 35" scale basses

    The neck is a litle bigger but with the time you can adapt with them. It isn't hard to play - IMO the only disadvantage are the more tense strings.

    Is There Something Special About Old Stingray 5s?

    You're right - not all available information is reliable, but I know how to filter these information. I'm asking this because according EB website the sr and sterling models is made of "Selected Hardwoods" but they don't tell what wood is hardwood.

    They're using cheaper wood in sr models too? I know that sub is made of polpar and bongo have a basswood body, but i don't know too much about the SR woods. Some of them seem to be made of alder, other of ash.

    Good cheap *low latency!* Usb interface for Ampeg SVX?

    Good cheap *low latency!* Usb interface for Ampeg SVX?

    Ampeg svx is a great software, you can get a lot of tones with it - I'm use and loving it. I like the line 6 guitar port but there's a cheaper interface made by behringer... actually a copy of guitar port. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    question about frets

    Yes, you can, but it isn't easy to do this. Maybe you will need to remove all frets, then incrust the mother of pearl or abalone. Some woods like wenge are too hard and difficuld to work.
