    NBD: Best color ever?

    Been seeking one of these since Fender launched them in 2018 (if I’m not wrong). Never found one in Italy. Recently I found an ex-demo and decided to pull the trigger. I think is the best color ever, isn’t it? ;)

    Can you wire one HB in series and the other in parallel on a 2HB bass?

    Hey all. I have an Ibanez SR300EBL with custom made pickups (humbuckers) and with an EMG BQS System, and a coil split switch. I also have an old Stagg with PJ configuration. I love the PJs more metallic, agressive tone, but also love the humbucker more fuller tone. I do not like though the...

    Wiring a Precision Pickup in Parallel - Is there a diagram out there?

    Hello! I have a project precision bass that i'm dialing in and want to give it a try in parallel. I'm looking for a little crisper top end out of the pickup.
