The Preamble:
I want to make a Tractor bass. I gave it a lot of thought, and almost went the route of buying a VM Jazz Bass and modifying it, but I really want to just make it all from scratch *(the fingerboard is pre-slotted). This will be my 2nd full build, and I know this will be a...
Recently I’ve started flirting with the idea of moving my Serek Armitage along. I bought it here about a year ago after wanting a Darkstar/BiSonic bass for a long time. This one has two! I have no doubt that this is someone’s dream bass, but it hasn’t quite asserted itself into my rotation so I...
Hey all, long time modder first time poster. Looking to swap the pickups in my MIM PJ mustang bass to do this mod:
Only trouble is that the pickguard route for the original pickups seems like it’s gonna be too wide for the BS-DS and so I’ll need a new one bc I’m a freak and really don’t...
So I'm doing a P-Bass mod project at the moment but I'm not sure what pickup to put into the bass.
It's going to be a P-style bass since the parts are readily available and the ergonomics of a P-bass just work for me. Since I got my regular P-Bass covered and I've always played P-basses I...
Hey y'all I was hoping that some Preamp experts/ Phil Lesh obsessives could share some info/experiences.
I have a custom bass being made for me and its going to have Novak Bs/Ds' installed with the coil tap on each pickup and a pickup pan control. I was initially set on having it completely...
I can use my bass as a receiver of sorts and play music through my amp. Sounds surprisingly not too terrible.
Always been able to do this, which comes in handy if I want to show a recorded riff or a section of a song to my band mates.
But lately I have been reading about microphonic pickups...
This is a bit of a feeler...
I recently bought this Serek Midwestern - SOLD - Serek Midwestern - Novak Bisonic
It sounds *amazing* - this is the first time I've had a bass with a Novak Bisonic/Darkstar and it's a game changer for me. The only thing I don't love about this bass is the short...

Going to be my first time doing some larger routing to a bass (especially for the B-90 at bridge). That’s why I grabbed the Harley Benton Tele Bass. Originally wanted to do it to my 80’s tokai jazz, but it sounds too good stock to mess around with:whistle:. Butchering it would be no fun, so...
