    Bassists few people talk about...

    I'd also like to nominate John Archer, bassplayer for Hunters & Collectors. He not only kept a solid bottom end with Doug Falconer's excellent drumming but he also designed and built the bands PA system since their formation in the early eighties.

    Peter Gifford from Midnight Oil, what a machine! Also, the bass line in this song (Stand In Line) was written by the original bassplayer, Andrew James, who was also an incredible musician. (Bonus Peter Garrett dance moves)

    If you could snap your fingers and play in any band at any period of time?

    I'd say INXS in 1982. Just about to hit it big and I have to say it's my favorite period in rock history (i.e. the Aussie pub rock scene).

    Fender '63 pickups - can't fit to l/h bass

    Thank you to everyone for the replies, I appreciate the help :) Wow, I wish I came here first instead of jumping the gun, I honestly thought it would be an easy job but I just didn't have good enough skills to do it. I didn't realise that the pickups would work without the plate (I've never...

    Fender '63 pickups - can't fit to l/h bass

    That could certainly work! I should have mentioned in the opening post that they are now 'ex pickups' due to my haste in attempting a solution. The upside is that I'm learning to solder properly and am getting a good idea of how electronics work :)

    Fender '63 pickups - can't fit to l/h bass

    I have contacted Fender and it's been passed on to their technical support (via email). The rep said it should fit. I must confess that I went ahead and desoldered the pickups from the plate to turn it around and resolder, unfortunately my skills weren't up to the job and I wrecked the...

    Fender '63 pickups - can't fit to l/h bass

    It's a bit hard to see, but the brass plate underneath has the ground wire soldered to it. I must confess I did desolder it and turn it around however my skills weren't up to the job, my bad. I'm just curious as to how else they are to fit.

    Fender '63 pickups - can't fit to l/h bass

    Hi everyone, I recently bought some replacement pickups for my lefty P-bass (player series). They are the genuine Fender '63 series. The only problem is that they don't fit the cavity for the pickups as the shape is around the wrong way. This is because they are soldered to a brass plate that...
