    Has anyone used the Fender Custom Shop 60's J-Bass Pickups?

    I just put a set of these in my Road Worn Jazz. The set that came with it (bought it on Craigslist) was a mis-matched set. The bass did sound good. After the CS upgrade I noticed it was much fatter and punchier. The fellows in my band really noticed a difference too. I have a set of these that...

    I love this bass. I just put some Rotosound 66's on it (never tried them-paying homage to the greats who used them). I was really surprised how much my bandmates like this bass, especially the drummer. Not sure how but Fender gave these Road Worn's that vintage mojo that all of the other Fender...

    I recently got a RWJ in the same color. I have to say that this is one of the finest Jazz Basses I have ever played. These are super light and very punchy. You will be very happy with this bass. Did you notice a significant difference with the new Fralins and the original stock fenders? Good luck.

    Double Bass Newbie BD seeks Advice on a Pickup

    After research I have decided to get the Shadow. It should be here today. I took the time to properly set the bridge and am happily waiting for UPS. I am enjoying the process of learning about my new instrument. I appreciate all of the comments.

    Double Bass Newbie BD seeks Advice on a Pickup

I will be playing it through a Genz-Benz Shuttle 9.0 and Epifani cabs (UL-210 and a UL-115). I would...

    24 Fret Fenders

    I just noticed he wanted $625. The ones I have seen here are $400 to $500. The preamp is not the greatest, as the previous poster stated, but it can be upgraded. I will put mine up against any Fender for quality of build, however.

    24 Fret Fenders

    Yes, that is a FenderJ24. I have the 4 string version. Mine does not have the active /passive switch. They are very well built basses and for many years it was my main axe. They come with Bassline pickups, a high mass bridge and a very usable EQ. The fit and finish is as nice as any Fender I...

    What bass is Felix Pastorius playing..

    Every time I have seen him at Saxquest in St. Louis with The Mu'tet he has sat down. In videos of him with the Yellowjackets he was standing. He is very tall (makes me look like a fat midget) and his hands are huge.

    FedEx shipping woes - is my bass OK in the cold?

    Relax, trees grow in the cold. When you get it allow it to slowly acclimate to indoor temps. Open the packaging and let her breath. You should be OK. Best of luck, my friend!

    Fender MIK jazz 24 5er thought and info needed.

    From the top they are: Volume (some had a push-pull for active passive), Pickup Blend, Stack (treble top/bass lower), midrange and a Mid-Scoop Switch. I have a 4 banger and love it.

    Shielding a SCPB=How much Noise Reduction?

    I love my new Sting Bass Reissue but it has some inherent noise due to the single coil pickups. If I shield it with copper tape just how much reduction in hum can I expect? I know I could go with a noiseless pickup but I like the tone now. Just want it a bit quieter. Thanks!

    NBD Fender Sting Reissue-My First P Bass!

    Just picked up a Fender Japanese Reissue Sting bass. My first impressions are very good. It's very punchy, has a really fat thump and does what my Lakland 44-02 can't do (as well). Very nice fret work, neck has a beautiful feel and thinner than I expected. The only bugaboo is the noise when it's...

    Thoughts on Fender's Sting Reissue

    Thanks! That is a great explanation of the differences. I have been listening to a lot of Pino and am digging his big P sound. My main bass is a Lakland 44-02 and it just can't provide that classic P tone...it comes close but no cigar. It's a lot of fun looking and learning.

    Thoughts on Fender's Sting Reissue

    What is the single vs. split coil sound difference? Also looking at an 80's MIJ with Basslines and a Leo Quann Badass II bridge. How much different will these sound? Both have maple necks.

    Best P-Bass for $400

    Yeah, it's a 2005-2006 from Japan. Also found a Sting model at $550 but trying to talk him down. I saw that the 51 Japanese are +$700 at GC. Are they that good?

    Best P-Bass for $400

    Hey TBer's, what's the best P-bass for $400? Been watching my local CL and our classifieds but would love some opinions. I did find a nice 51 Reissue but without the ash trays and pickguard for $475 but would like to stay at $400.

    Favorite 44-02 Settings and Why?

    Just checking in with other Lakland 44-02 owners to see what your favorite setting of the tone controls are. I have been experimenting quite a bit lately and finding some nice tones. Thanks for your input.
