I've tried the Pyramids on a few different P-bass builds and they always drove me a little nuts. Had to really fight to get any snap or sizzle when I wanted it.
I think the J bass might be the ticket. Something about those single coils - with a bridge pickup on demand.
But also: loads of thump...

Hey TB'ers!
Imported this from Japan somewhere around 15 years ago. Faithfully served me as my primary gig bass for a long time. If you haven't heard, these early Japanese Fenders were considered 'sleeper' instruments for their level of craftsmanship long before the market caught wind of it...

Seriously killer J-bass tone. Those pickups sound like they're about to spontaneously combust. I miss seeing Brothers Groove shows back in the early aughts...
This Bacchus HJB5-STD/M STB 5-String bass guitar is Used but in Excellent Condition: the only sign of wear is a finish discoloration on the back of the neck where the rubber on a guitar stand reacted with the finish (see photo). Aside from that, this bass is Mint: no nicks, dings, dents, cracks...

Hi all,
So I have an MTD Beast that I still love (wenge fretboard, maple neck, basswood body). But I finally bought a new MTD (Z4, dual soap bar, active), because the Beast electronics seemed to be crapping out (original Bartolinis in there).
I’d like to swap the pick-ups now (and having a...
The challenge: Last Sunday, Mrs. Thumpenstein says, “Get something from Santa to put under the tree.” She knew I was gassing for an active J and said go for it. I was swamped for the rest of the week, so I only had 2 hours.
I went to a local music store and they had 2 identical Fender Player...
Hi,
Hope I am allowed to post it in this catagory.
I own 2 basses but looking to buy a 3rd one, but...I'm having a hard time finding what I want on Google.
These are the specs I am looking for:
J-bass, dark brown wood body (no burst, Walnut color), rosewood fingerboard with white block inlay...

Since I’ve joined TB I’ve noticed a strong disdain for active electronics whether or not the pups are active or passive. This especially seems true with the traditional P bass and J bass crowd. However, I have noticed that these same two groups are big fans of mm/ebmm and G & L basses which...
Is anyone familiar with early '70s fretless jazz necks? I have a J-bass that dates by serial number to 1974, but I can't find any pictures of fretless basses from that era to compare to, so I'm not sure the neck is original. The headstock logo is correct for 1974. The stamp on the heal is...
Selling a set of Bartolini B-axis hum cancelling jazz pickups. Hardly used—I originally bought them because my G&L JB had a bad hum issue but it seems to be caused by crappy wiring in my house vs the pickups. These sound really great but I decided to go back to the stock pickups. They were...

Which Wiring diagram to use?
Facts:
1. I have been soldering like a champ for over 20 years.
2. I do not actually understand what components will work with what but I can successfully execute a wiring diagram and make it look sexy.

I've got an old Fender P that I added a Jazz pickup to in the bridge position. It has the original split coil in the neck position. I've also turned it into a fretless, not that it matters.
I want to send each pickup to its own volume and tone pot and then to a stereo (TRS) output jack so each...
Hi, everyone. I'm having an issue with the neck pickup in my passive J-bass. The volume output has reduced to a barely noticeable distortion with some scratchiness. I have had some issues with the pots needing frequent deoxidizing so I'm hoping that it's something that's as simple as a soldering...
Help please with these Bart J-Bass Pups. I cannot find anything about them. I recently purchased the pups on Reverb. The etched model is difficult for me to read. I’m guessing they are either ‘9P’ or ‘9D’. Although it could be ‘9O’. They are labeled ‘L’ & ‘S’ even though they appear to be the...
Hi!
I’m looking for a pair of (preferably black) DiMarzio DP123s. I live in Montreal, Canada, where those pups, new in store, cost 127$ (USD), taxes included.
Thanks!
I get why someone would want an inexpensive version of a P or a J, that's why I own a Blazer. But why would someone pay $2k+ for a high-end maker's version of it? I'm genuinely curious, because if I had $2-5k to drop down on a P bass, I'd by a pre-CBS Fender, but that's just me...
Good morning! I have an SSBM Stingray SUB4 that I happen to like a lot, but I've really gotten into the sound of the Jazz bass recently.
I've been thinking about adding a second pickup/switching system like the factory HH in the hope that the outer half-coil neck/bridge tone might be close to...
I'd like to have a classic bass with flats on it to add to my arsenel. I know that Fender went through a rather bad period. I have the opportunity to pick up a J-bass for about $300. It's Mexican made from the early '90's. It gives me pause.
