    The $399 Joe Dart Bass by SBMM

    I've received mine as well. I am pleasantly surprised by the craftmanship, this being my first Sterling and only owning EBMM's. Bass sounds and feels killer!

    Fender 5 String - Precision or Jazz?

    Hello! Based on your comment above, it seems that a Fender American Professional II Precision Bass V may potentially not have ideal pickup placement? Do you have any specific technical detail to share around whether the VMOD II pickups for a 5 string would take away from or sound different...

    Joe Dart II - Question and community challenge

    The Caprice looks extremely nice. However, I have never liked the PJ Tones. I would however be interested in Cutlass Bass at some point. The two tones I am missing is a pure P and Pure J. Any reason why you did not mention that American Professional II as an interest? Pertaining to the Vintage...

    Thank you for this. I am definitely open to a Fender JB, and am curious about G&L's too. Do you mind sharing the type of JB you have and enjoy? Thanks for the relevant response around tone :)

    Joe Dart II - Question and community challenge

    That is exactly the connect for me here. I am aware the tone is not the typical JB tone. Although, the tone just calls to me. I am curious as to if the tone will not generally work? Is it so individual as to not fitting in with it's JB cousins? Lobster's review is excellent as well as one...

    Joe Dart II - Question and community challenge

    I prefer the tone of the Joe Dart II over the Fender Jazz Basses I have played and do not mind the lack of tone control. In store / in person, I have played a Player and and an American Professional II. I also prefer the way EBMM basses feel in comparison to the Fender basses I've played...

    JMJ Mustang Build Quality? Neck feel compared to Modern Ernie Ball's?

    Thank you! I would love to find a Cutlass! I actually have the DarkRay 5, same build as a Special with the DarkGlass Preamp and 2band EQ over 3 Band. The newer EBMM models have spoiled me! I have never felt anything like them. I have two things to solve in my Bass arsenal at this point in...

    JMJ Mustang Build Quality? Neck feel compared to Modern Ernie Ball's?

    Hi! There are no JMJ's available in my area. I have been playing a Stingray Special and an Old Smoothie, both are incredibly well built and the necks feel amazing. Can anyone compare the high quality feel of the StingRay's with a JMJ? Thanks!

    Update to this thread: Probably going to offload most of my gear and look into a G&L CLF Research L-2500 Series 750 :). Thank you to everyone who provided advice and feedback!

    Should I sell my Fender JP-90 to buy an American Professional II Precision?

    From my experience, I can absolutely tell the difference between a high quality instrument. I truly enjoy playing my StingRay's and am always taken back by the craftsmanship. However, I don't know P's. Someone here does :)

    Should I sell my Fender JP-90 to buy an American Professional II Precision?

    It's my first Bass and quite a nice first instrument. I also started playing with my old band around that time. The band lasted all throughout school and into college. My old instruments hold a bit more emotional weight to them due to the history. Now as an adult, I feel like a completely...

    Should I sell my Fender JP-90 to buy an American Professional II Precision?

    Hello, My goal is to consolidate my instruments to just a few useful Basses that all serve a purpose. The JP-90 looks to be fairly rare and the thought process of it being a rare instrument has always kept it in my possession as well as being sentimental. However, the goal of consolidating is...

    EBMM DarkRay - Compression question

    Hi all, So I read some comments around the DarkRay stating Compression is supposed to be first in the Signal Chain, while others have stated Distortion is Compression and in the case of the DarkRay, Compression in front of the Distortion is not necessary. I particularly really like what I...

    Fender Rumble Amp Modeling Question - Recording

    I got one, its a very nice amp. The Rumble v3 tone is not exactly the same and missing some warmth and sparkle. None the less I think this amp is legit and worth the money. I love jumping from tone to tone. I have the foot-pedal as well. The thing that is strange to me regarding the foot...

    Holding down fingers for note support

    Thanks everyone! I am now thinking of it like when your practicing Martial Arts. When you train, you train correct form to build strength, balance, pressure sensitivity, ingrain placement and positioning. When you spar, you loosen up and all of the hours put in training supports the fight :)...

    Fender Rumble Amp Modeling Question - Recording

    Hey all, My current basses are an Ernie Ball Sting Ray Old Smoothie which I love! And a 90's Sting Ray 5 which was my work horse. I was an Ampeg SVT guy until I decided to purchase a Mark Bass Little Mark 3 Tube a little while back. I never fell in love with the Mark Bass Tone. I just...

    Holding down fingers for note support

    Hi all, I have always been confused by the recommendation; If I am playing with my forth finger, fingers 1,2,3 should all be down on the fret to support the pinkie and related. I have always found that I keep my fingers close to the frets but don't always hold down to support the intended...

    Tacoma Olympia Ob3ce vs Breedlove Pursuit Concert CE?

    Decided to keep my Olympia. Played them side by side for a while. I loved the richer overtones and solid top of the Breedlove as well as the visual design. Comparative though, My Olympia just feels right. More thump, more percussive, great for a bass player who plays strictly with fingers...

    Hi all, I have a Fender JP-90 in Good condition. I am curious in regards to tone quality the difference between the quality of the JP-90 compared to having individual J and P Basses. It seems great that the JP-90 is a two in one, but as it is a cheaper instrument, what is it lacking? Thanks!
