    Stingray Classic Body Question

    Hi Guys, I own a 4 string Stingray Classic in Inca Silver. I have been contemplating the idea of stripping the paint off and leave it in natural finish but have no idea how many wood pieces a Stingray classic has. I talked to my luthier and he come up with the question since it would affect...

    Pickup technology, pole pieces, ramps, rants and other things ...

    So I own an Ibanez ATK, I dislike it aesthetically, everything else I own and actually play is P/J, I don't think its a good looking bass. That aside, there was always something about it that made me want to play it. I'm lazy and seek effortlessness. left hand?, give me a Jazz neck with an...

    Are Mexico Fenders Still 5+ Pieces of Wood?

    I have a Mexico Jazz bass neck that I love the feel of but the Jazz body was way too heavy. I stripped it to do a refinish and found the body was 7 pieces of wood glued together (With a laminate top and back) This was a 2006 model. Does anyone know if the newer ones have ditched the...

    School me on passive Precision pups without pole pieces

    So I've got a nice 2013 USA Precision with a stock "Custom Shop 60's split" pickup that I'm thinking of replacing with a low profile, flat, black pup. It used to be easy ... Bartolini or EMGs?! Searching around, I'm just learning about the Delano PC4 HE/M2, Keisel SPC, Dimarzio Will Power...

    Using magnets to effectively raise pole pieces?

    My Sire V7 five string has noticeably diminished output on the middle A string due to the bass's setup. I don't believe that I can "push" the pole pieces up without damaging the pickup, and I've heard of folks effectively extending the pole pieces by adding small neodymium disk magnets to their...

    Double Bass Committing etudes and other pieces to memory

    Hi all not sure if a thread exists already but I had one of those light bulb moments where it occurred to me how important it becomes to free one self from the manuscript and having committed to memory, how much better the interpretation becomes. A given for most, granted, but not for some of...

    Rickenbacker 4003 pick-up pole pieces?

    How many of you that have a post 2006 Rickenbacker 4003, adjust the pole pieces to the radius of the fretboard? I adjusted the poles of the front pickup to 10/64" & the poles of the bridge pickup to 13/64" respectively.

    Grounding pole pieces; Better conducting adhesive shielding?

    While I've grounded pole pieces successfully on other pickups before with no problem, for whatever reason the conductive adhesive on the roll of StewMac tape I currently have won't work with either my Lollar J's or P pole pieces. I've cleaned the surface of the magnets with alcohol & naptha...

    Small double pole pieces versus large MM pole pieces (Delano)

    What is the general difference in sound between these? I'm trying to decide between purchasing an off the shelf Delano MM (MCAL5 or perhaps the Jay Ray) humbucker versus getting a humbucker from their custom shop loaded with two JC AL 5s. I love the way JC AL5s sound both at the bridge and neck...

    My strings and pole pieces don't line up

    So, I put an Artec Alnico MM in my modofied OLP and the pole pieces don't line up 100% in the middle except for the G string. Do you think it impacts the sound? It does not seem to. But it does bother me visually. I know, I'm being anal. :D Comments, thoughts and opinions welcome. Thanks.

    Covering pole pieces on your pickups. Where to buy covers without holes? Can this affect tone?

    Hey all. Say I have a bass with typical exposed pole pieces. Now say I want to go with the all black covered pickup look for a while. Is there anyone who makes these? Whenever I search pickup covers, I find covers with holes for pole pieces. Lastly, is there anything to consider in terms on...
