Im using a MIM 50s precision bass and it does not have the through the body stringing...

I've had a set of flatwound La Bellas on my precision bass for a few months now and today I was playing bass and my G string just broke right at the bridge. What I'm wondering is if anyone out there has any had trouble with La Bellas or if I did something wrong while replacing my strings. Help...

I just got my ampeg svp-pro preamp in the mail today that I bought off ebay. When I went to plug it into my brothers power amp to try it out there was no sweet tubey tone just hummmmmmm. I then opened it up to find the ribbon connector was disconnected. After plugging it back in the preamp...

hmm how would a pedal or the tube pac compare to a designated tube bass preamp, such as the ampeg svp-cl?? My brother has a svp-cl that i've played through a million times and it sounds superb.

Im currently looking for a tube preamp to go along with my dull sounding ampeg b2r. Im looking for a nice warm tube sound. The eden navigator looks interesting and is not too expensive. Has anyone had any experience with this? I would appreciate some other recommendations as well...

Thanks a lot. Im right there with you on avoiding the VT. Im afraid to try another Sansamp pedal after using the Bass Driver......ew

???

Do you think the Valve Drive or the Barber Linden adds more warm tubey goodness? Im more interested in Valve Drive as a preamp than an overdrive but the drive would be a nice extra.

I wouldnt think twice about buying one for $175 but im a little iffy on dropping $300 for a pedal but im giving it serious consideration

I used to have a Sansamp Bassdriver and I was not to fond of it. It didnt have enough mids to it and I thought it always had too much treble or too much bass. But a lot of people seem to love it so to each his own I guess....

around $500 at the most

Hey guys im currently looking for some sort of tube preamp pedal to warm up my Ampeg B2r. I'm looking for a nice round tubey sound without spending a ton of money on a new head at the moment. I've been looking at the EBS Valve Drive, has anyone ever tried this? Any other suggestions would be...

Thats why I went with the Rio Grandes. They have those strong P bass mids that I love but they have a much fuller sound compared to the stock 50s pups in my opinion.

Thanks for all the suggestions but I ended up going with some Rio Grande vintage pickups. They sound killer, lots of bass and very punchy with some sweet highs. I'm really happy with them. I dont understand why more people dont use them......

You should check out Tame Impala. They're not that bluesy at all compared to the the Black Keys and Stevie but they got some blues influences to them. They're kinda like a psychedelic groove rock band. They are SOOO GOOD

Thanks for all the suggestions. My head is spinning now with all these options :eek:

Am I the only one that liked that classic neck more than the RW? :atoz:

They all come with alder bodies, wanna tussle about it?

I would definitely go with the classic over the Road Worn or the 57 Reissue. The road worns are nice but they pretty much sound identical to the classic execpt they're beat up and what not. The 57 reissue is a killer bass for sure but its pretty overpriced if you ask me. Now the classic is...

I just purchased a MIM 50s Precision bass and im looking to upgrade the pickups. I want something warm and punchy with plenty of bass. I've read a bunch of reviews and disscussions about replacement precision pickups and im thinking about the Fender 62 pickups or the Basslines SPB-2s. If anyone...

I went with the LaBella 760s. They have a real nice smooth feel to them and I can imagine they will only get better once they're broken in. Now I just need to decide on what precision pickups to buy as well hmmmmmm......

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I'm thinking I might go with the La Bellas or the chromes. I have some GHS flats on the fretless jazz now so I might just change those as well and try both

I've recently purchased a MIM 50s reissue precision bass and I'm having a hard time deciding on what brand of flatwounds to buy. Im currently using some old GHS half rounds on it but I'm looking for a warmer tone still. Any recommendations for a fellow bass player???:hyper:
