    Aguilar AG4M Pickup sounds "nasally" or "honk-y"

    Did I use the wrong MM pickup? Have a medium scale Warmoth P with an Aguilar "Hot" split P in the neck & an Aguilar AG4M at the bridge. Have an Audere 3 band pre in it as well. The MM always has a noticeably nasally sound no matter what I do with the pre or main amp. Have resorted to just mostly...

    Finding old, forgotten effect pedals...

    so I was having a clear out the other day and found my old Boss SYB3, plugged it in and made some fairly pleasing sounds. I decided to track some of those ideas and made a little song/rave out of it. Out of curiosity, what effects do you guys have that you've forgotten about, only to...

I did a setup and everything seems to...

    My bass sounds better through a guitar amp

    Let me start off by saying that I played the bass for almost 6 months with no amp at home (Some old Ibanez) so I had nothing to compare how the amp I bought sounded. So about a month ago I bought a new Squier jazz bass along with a Fender Rumble 15W amp. Since I had no experience in playing...

    J-Style Pickup That Sounds Like M-Series MFD Pickup?

    I realize they're very different beasts, but what j-shaped pickup would get closest to the sound of the (G&L) M-series pickups? I'm fine with something that's even down the street from the ballpark. I've got a feeling it would be something like a Dimarzio Model J or Warm & Wooly Nordstrand Big J...

    I have too much gear, haven't gigged for a few years and need to trim down further. What I have left are my all-time faves, but I still have 6 basses and 1 or 2 more need to escape for space/storage reasons. This Basslab Soul V was a custom build for me, about 10 years ago. 34" scale, 19mm...

    What new off the rack bass sounds most like an old Kay or Harmony?

    As the title states: What new off the rack bass sounds most like an old Kay or Harmony? I've never owned a Fender bass. I had a Rickenbacker 4001 when I was in a cover band in the 1970s. Right now I have two Raven electric basses, a fretless and a fretted, an upright bass and a Danelectro...

    P Pickup that sounds like a J pickup?

    My main bass for the last few years has been a parts Jazz bass that fits the band I am in very well. I also have a very nice parts P that occasionally bring out, but its tonal character is much more aggressive and occupies much more sonic space leading to almost overpower the two guitars in the...

    Flatwounds that SOUNDS like my 18 year old Groundwounds

    My first bass was a precision bass with a fretless neck, I believe it originally came with flatwounds but I had them changed to grounds on the advice of a friend. I never really thought about the strings much after that and played the bass on and off for almost two decades. More recently I...

    New head recommendations - What sounds like a Rumble on steroids

    I currently play through a Little Mark III going into a Bag End 1x15. Technically I have two, but one needs to be repaired. The Little Mark is not really doing it for me. Its a fine amp, but I just don't care for the tone I get out of it flat. I use a Rumble 15 as my practice amp and I really...

    6 String J-Ferro Bass Sounds Fantastic.....

    I heard there was a lot of buzz at the 2017 NAMM show about the J-Ferro basses. I'm not easily impressed, but I am impressed by the tone of the 6 string J-Ferro! Lengthy video, so look for the parts where Janek is playing his new six string J-Ferro. The 09:30 mark has playing.

    Low C sounds horrible in a Drop C tuning

    Hey everyone~ I hardly ever ask for advice on forums, but this is an exceptional situation, as I'm completely clueless about what to do next. Here's the deal. I'm a studio musician and I've been recording stuff for years and years, but one problem has always persisted. The low C string on my...

    Point me at a 6-string that sounds like a Fender Jazz

    LOVE the sound of my Geddy Lee model Jazz bass, all it needs to sound great is a cable. But in this day and age I need an extended range instrument. What 6s out there sound like Fender jazz basses?

    Seeking Tips and Tricks on creating cool sounds without using pedals?

    I am talking about the sort of sound effect thing that Will Lee would do on a bass to render an "uh oh" sound to make fun of someone on Letterman? Also - last night I watched a PBS broadcast of a Zydeco band (Tom Rigney and Flambeau) and the bassist was able to render a clear rendition of...

    Bass Sounds Terminology?

    Not sure where to post this but here goes... I am interested in learning more about the different "categories" of bass sounds (or maybe genres?) that I keep reading about. There doesn't seem to be one particular place to go to experience and compare the different styles of just the bass...

    First: Sorry for my english^^ I've purchased an LS2 to use in A+Bmix mode, for blending clean signal with a Carl Martin Plexitone and a DBBM. For now I can play only using headphone with my zoom b2.1u, so I connected my pedals this way: Bass into the input of the LS2 and from the output into...
