replacing

Hello! One of my old but very good basses needsa a new nut. The present one is a bit too worn out at the G-string slot vausing the open string to rasp the frets more than desired for. I have bought a new nut but how can I remover the old one best with risking damage to the bass? Any tips on...

Wondering if these will work in the cab? Plan on replacing all of them so I can put more power into the cab. Really good cab and sound with the stocks, but my band plays loud and I don't want to stress the speakers that much or use two cabs. Amp is a Peavey Headliner 1000 run at 8ohms...

My MB150S started farting when I play a low F. I opened it up and found that the speaker is supported on a post which is screwed to the back of the cabinet, on top of which is a rubber foot attached to the post with a screw, which had worked loose. I tightened it up and put it all back together...

Reposting this since the other got 0 replies.. How's it going my fellow bassists? So I'm currently using a vintage Kasino Concert Con-B amp and 212 cabinet that matches. 1 of my 12s is blown so my cab isn't running as great as I'd like it to. I'm planning on replacing both speakers with 2...

How's it going my fellow bassists? So I'm currently using a vintage Kasino Concert Con-B amp and 212 cabinet that matches. 1 of my 12s is blown so my cab isn't running as great as I'd like it to. I'm planning on replacing both speakers with 2 Eminence Legend BP122 speakers. My question is, will...

Hey everyone, I've been using a Cort A5 plus as my main bass for a few months now, I had it set up and it plays fantastically etc the only thing I'm finding is that I don't really like the pickups all that much, it has Bartolini MK-1 Pickups and a Bartolini MK-1 EQ all running form a 9v battery...

Hi, kind of a simple question but my bass is at the practice space an hour away so I can't measure for myself. I'm looking to replace the tuners on my Warwick Corvette Standard 5. I've had trouble with them breaking in the past and the bass has some neck dive so I'm looking at swapping them out...

Hi all, sorry if this question is in the wrong place. As the heading says, I need to change the Toroidal transformer in my amp, (it's a MAG 400, model 410T 400) replacing it will be the easy part, but finding one, now thats the hard part. had a look on the unit and there is no indication of...

I'm somewhat idly considering replacing the Gotoh GB7s in my Fender Stu Hamm Urge Bass with Hipshot HB6 3/8" Ultralite tuners but since the listed gear ratio is the same, am I likely to see the same performance after the change? I am not thrilled by the somewhat flimsy feel of the GB7s but...

So the question is in the title. I find it funny that musicians have such an issue with replacing an active member of a band. While I understand there is a more personal interaction with fellow members, it is still an opportunity. So you have a working band that doesn't need disruption in...

Does it effect tone, string height, tension, or anything like that?

Hi. Been checking out different threads, but can't find the answer to a specific question. I play a CS Fender 59 P, strung with TI's. I like the tone when I play fingerstyle. But I yearn a little more for some upper mids and highs when I play with a pick. Even with the tone knob all the way...

Hi everyone, I have an older Pfretzschner shop german bow (I believe from the 70s) that I used in my student days. It draws a rich sound from any bass I use it on, but there came a point where I realised how exhausted I was getting because it didn't react quickly enough, especially in repertoire...

My new-to-me 50th. Anniv. Jazz has Dimarzios in the cream covers. I like the p/u's but not the color. I believe they are epoxied in. True? Anybody tried to take them off? Will a regular J cover fit, if I do get them off, or should I order some from DiMarzio? Thanks.

I have an old SWR Bassic Black 120watt combo w 15". I just pulled the trigger for about $120 to replace the woofer/tweeter*. Used combos now sell for around $300. Did I do the right thing??? Electronics seem to work fine and I remember I liked the sound when it was working years back. I was...

Hey guys. Few weeks ago I bought a bass guitar. It was an almost unused Yamaha RBX 170. This is my first bass guitar that I wanted to play every now and then alongside my other guitars. While it was in almost pristine condition after first tuning and playing the bass for roughly 10 minutes the...

Hello! The Contour pot of my old Fender Bassman 250 is broken, could somebody tell me how can I find out the exact model that I need to order for replacement? I appreciate any help given, thank you!

a long long long long time ago before the ice, before the snow a teenaged iplaythatfunk wanted a more powerful sounding pickup for his Squier p-bass, (which had a duncan designed copy of the Seymour Duncan "vintage" p-pickup) and he decided on the active EMG p-bass pickup that EMG so eloquently...

So I've been considering buying the Ray34 for awhile, and I recently saw it used on Guitar Center's used listings for a great price, and I figured I'd be a fool not to buy it. It came the other day and it's great, but I'm curious about making some upgrades. Would it be worth upgrading the bridge...

I have a Schecter Diamond Studio which is the most comfortable playing guitar I have ever had. Unfortunately I do not like the EMG HZ pickups which came with it. I know that each individual pick up must be directly beneath the string. My problem is that I can find no replacement pickup which...

Hello people of talkbass, First time poster here, and I'm hyped to join the group. Sorry if this question has been asked before, I couldn't find anything in the forums. I have a MIM Fender Jazz Bass I have had for 14 years and love. I have been contemplating upgrading this bass piece by piece...
