I was planning on replacing the 500k pots on my Jazz bass, but I was absent minded when I bought some from the guitar store and didn't realize that I actually bought 250k-500k blend pots. So now I'm conflating just trying to make those work instead of having to drive all the way back to the...

Just saw this on SSO and had to share: I wonder how it sounds.

Actually got this a month ago, still getting used to playing it. Wonderful guitar, and one I honestly never thought I'd ever get to own. When I was a kid my next door neighbor's older brother had some old Gibson catalogs (this is the 60's, remember) and we drooled over those pages like we would...

"...you should checkout Mary Halvorson" said a friend of mine who I no longer take music recommendations from :lol: FF to 2:00

I've had both these pickups about, oh I dunno, 20 times? At least. But because I generally pay such little attention to neck pickup tone (I tend to go by feel and/or output) I've never actually compared the two side by side, like I have done with countless bridge pickups. From memory, here's...

Newly Repaired Bass Day Recently completed project for a family friend. He bought it brand new in 1966/67 and gigged with it heavily. Some years back, it sat in a friend's basement that was repeatedly flooded over time and when he finally recovered it, the neck was twisted. He brought it to a...

Decided to go with the Seymour Duncan Hot rod set with the JB and Jazz to replace the stock Jacksons all I can say is WOW :hbang: I know many dont like the JBs but they gave me that mid range growl I was looking for. I run standard tuning and they were just what the doctor ordered. any...

Are these any good? Fender Japan Exclusive Aerodyne Jazz Bass Medium Scale VWH Electric Bass | eBay Also what about the Squires? Were some years better than others? I'm just looking for something that's good with the low end for thrash-power-grove style metal while trying to come in under...

I've been using Jazz III XLs as my regulars for who knows how many years, I've often found other picks to sound better, but the playability on those was always tops for me by a wide margin. I was recently getting a lot of problems with them slipping (not grippy enough) and tried out a bunch of...

Hey guys! I bought a new bass, whoo! I liked my Jazz bass for what it was, but I found myself limited big time by having it tuned to BEAD. I really needed a 5 string for what I've been doing lately. That, coupled with my desire for humbuckers and an active preamp led my bass quest to an Ibanez...

This is pretty solid. :yesway:

I had a new bass day the other day, shoved some Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounds up in that son'bitch. My covers band has started moving into doing originals. Here's a clip from a song I'm writing for us, aiming for modern melodic thrash \,,/...

Preferably EMG, but will consider Duncans.

So my bass player got one of the SX 6 string basses from Rondo. Believe it or not, it's actually a pretty nice bass for the little he played. The electronics are the weakest link as one would expect so i'm trying to help him out and find some choices for pickups. Unless there are some brands...

I've tried a lot of 7 string bridge pickups and I've been super happy with a dimarzio dactivator in the bridge. I'm not a excessive user of the neck pickup but, the seymour duncan jazz in the strandberg I tried was seriously good. I was wondering what alternatives are there to the SD Jazz? I...

Hi ladz, I'm considering grabbing an Engl Modern Rock preamp because it seems a whole load more convenient to me. That way I could practice without needing the cab (which is in a room that gets cold as balls during the winter) and then have the power for when I need it. Eg: Gigs and recording...

Curious to give one a try. Strong preference for black, but I'd take zebra in a pinch, I suppose. Anyone got one?

These are pickups. They pick up sound in the same way the older brother I never had but wished I did named Lorenzo picks up chicks. With the reckless abandon of a man who has nothing to live for but the thrill of the chase. Kind of like that guy in the beginning of the first Hellraiser who is...
