    Boomy Pick ups

    Hi All, Years ago I picked up a Guild JS II from about 73. The previous owner had moded things a bit and replaced the stock pick-ups with two huge Fender wide range bass humbuckers. Similar to this (https://www.nationwideguitars.com/1973guildjsIIbass.html) It makes a big vintage sound! But...

    Precision Bass Pickups Lost Low End After Replacing the Covers

    I'm perplexed. I just replaced the plastic covers on my Squire Affinity P-Bass (project bass) PUPs and now the bass has lost most of its low end. The PUPs sound very clear and sparkly, but no low end. I checked all the connections and all wiring seems to be in place w/o apparent damage. I...

    Anyone tried Lawing PUP's on a J bass?

    Has anyone tried these? Bass replacement pickups utilize two coils per string for hum-cancelling and output balance and the flexible voicing. I have a passive JB that I'm exploring my options. I played today with a guitar player that uses them on a tele. He showed me the bass pups on their...

    I love this short scale bass but I do wish more manufacturers made mid tier short scale basses. I was looking to upgrade to a higher end bass but I couldn't find what I wanted in a short scale bass so I figured why not upgrade the electronics. I searched a ton of forums and have never seen any...

    Issues with my Squier Affinity PJ (volume problems)

    On my Squier Affinity PJ I have several issues with the pickups & electronics. For one, the bridge J pickup has very low level compared to the P neck pickup. I already brought it as close to the strings as possible, yet there is still quite a discrepancy. Secondly, when I turn the tone knob...

    Warning: overly poetic, non-technical adjectives ahead. I've got a '78 P Bass with nice, clean, mid-heavy stock PU's.
