Any luck yet?

I have taught a Rock School class in a public 9-12 high school. The course was offered as a Fine Arts credit, intended for kids who love music but never got started in choir, band, or orchestra. There were two major problems with Rock School: one of physical reality, and one of mental...

I came across this thread as I'm looking for ways to mount an additional TEB-101 pickup. This bass looks totally rad! 3 questions: - Are the additional pickups mounted directly to the body? - How deep were the spaces routed? - Any need for shielding?

THAT is a great look!

I found it on NStuff Music about 2 or 3 years ago. The Olympic White is what I'd really like to get my hands on!

Excellent choice! The Affinity Jazz V is a solid, reliable bass. Yours looks terrific. I put a tort guard on my blue Squier Affinity V and I really like it -

I say this one all the time... Jasper, as he emerges from Quik-E-Mart freezer: "What a time to be alive!"

My feet are narrow like Chuck Taylors, so I enjoy them. True, the original/standard ones don't have much padding, but it never bothered me. I bought a pair of the new ones, and they are great! They feel good, and I like the style. Shoes are like basses, music, food, etc. - to each their own.

Just seeing this thread as I search for the red. I have the black and the blue - would love the red and white!

I'm looking for the same info. I have a Squier Affinity Jazz V neck I'm going to try on the Vintage Modified V body.

Subbed. We'll see if they reply.

What were the machine heads lacking? I've owned 3 Squier Affinity basses and all have been dependable instruments. They intonated accurately, responded evenly, and will keep a tuning for several days. My opinion: a reliable instrument sold at an affordable price makes music-making appealing...

I just told you :) (I get paid to play. That makes me a pro.) Go play one and see if you like it. If you don't like it, play something else. You don't need approval "from pros".

From what I can tell, there aren't many Affinity Jazz V basses in Metallic Blue. This is my ideal bass. Intonation is right on, it holds tune, action is even, pickups are nice and clear. Band mates at the church always compliment the tone of this bass. It is sa-WEET!

This bass is totally worth the years of waiting for a REAL 5-string P from Squier. The maple neck is a sweet feature I was hoping for. It is a solid axe, very playable. I like to keep my tone all the way down, slightly high action, and really dig in when I play repeated notes. The tone is...

I owned (briefly) a beautiful blue Squier MB5. The neck was great and the body was light. The pickups, however, were noticeably weak. It made a good practice bass for the office but I never used because of the pickups. Good luck on a replacement set - potentially a very good instrument.

My CV '60s P is a consistent winner. It stays in tune for days and looks stunning. I changed the pick guard to mint green, swapped the small chrome knobs for a Jazz Bass volume and tone, and put on D'Addario Half Rounds. It was a restock online, so I got it for about $275 "new". Unbeatable!

I love Tele basses and custom builds - subbed!

I have a set on my Jazz V which I play exclusively finger-style. They provide the tone I was looking for that I couldn't get from rounds, flats, or signal processing. They are just right for me. Texture - Definitely an unusual (VERY subtle) roughness to the touch which disappeared after a...

SWEET! They look great in real photos. I have a Candy Apple Red P5 on order - can't wait for it to get here! If you need me, I'll be on the edge of my seat.

Y'all is a legitimate contraction: you all. What kills me is hearing people say "Her and I's" or "Him and I's". "We are driving to Austin this weekend. It's him and I's anniversary."

This is a cool technique. I like to use this in lighter music which allows for long, sustained bass. The octave pluck does give the fundamental more energy and really helps the bass ride the wave. The difference in tone allows a more subtle onset of the sound as well; not as much "clank" as...

I dreamt about mufflers all night and woke up exhausted.

There are probably several replies but I searched and couldn't find the reply I was looking for...maybe someone else will reply?

Rush - Leave That Thing Alone - YouTube and the live footage by which I discovered the song: Rush - Leave That Thing Alone ( Time Machine 2011 DVD ) - YouTube The bassline is super funky and Geddy's tone hits the spot for me!

ps: Learning how to set up your bass makes you understand it better which in turn makes you a better bassist. Really. True! I was afraid I'd damage my bass in the process of setting it up. I watched several videos on YouTube and read the setup threads here. I now feel confident about setting...

That color is brilliant! Sub'd and loving this thread.

Since day 1 (about 15 years ago) I'd played with 45-100. Within the past year, I began to feel the E string was too thin. I tried a set of 45-105 and felt satisfied to use those exclusively on my Precision and Precision Telebass. I like a relatively boomy/woofy tone and play above the 5th fret...
