    Upgrading my P-Bass

    in Bass Guitars

    Posted

    thanks for the advice chaps.

    Dont think i will upgrade the bridge.

    Still considering a new pickup maybe as i do love this bass. But like it has been said, it is a cheap bass so maybe buying the most expensive stuff isnt a great idea! Afterall, you can't polish a turd!

    The time and money you're going to spend on, as Machines says "is likely an expensive and fruitless task", why not think about selling what you've got and putting that and the money you would have spent on a new bass??? New gear always inspires me and gives me a kick up the RRRRs to play...

    I appreciate that, Im not tired of playing that particular bass, i love it! I have a MM stingray which i have had for years but i aquired this one last year and it feels great plays really nicely! Infact im using it as my main bass!

    I just sometimes find it could use a little more low end and mid range.

    Ok i am quite new to modifying upgrading basses etc...

    Im looking to give my MIM 50's fiesta red p-Bass a bit of an upgrade.

    I am thinking about installing a badass bridge as i hear it will give you a bit more sustain? (thoughts?)

    I also would quite like to stick some new pickups in it.

    I have been looking at some of the seymour duncan and bare knuckle pickups.

    Im looking for something thats punchy with nice mids and fat low end (but not too expensive!)

    is there anything that i should be looking at or has anyone had experience with the other brands i have mentioned?

    Cheers!

    A new (or old) amp

    Hello BC

    At the moment I have an Orange AD200mk3 which I love!

    When gigging its great sounds amazing at loud volumes.

    Problem comes when i am at a rehearsal or at a quieter venue. When i turn it down it just looses everything and sounds naff! it seems to lose all the warmth and low - mid range.

    I am running it through a orange 4x10.

    Is the problem that the cab needs more of a kick to get it going or is the amp just not great at low volumes? or a mixture of both?

    I would like for my amp to sound great at low and high volumes.

    Any suggestions?

    I cant really afford to buy a new amp just for rehearsals so if i have to i will be looking to swap/sell what I need to to get it right.

    I have had a SS ampeg in the past and that was nice but I love the tube warmth!

    I need help! What can i do?

    Um... yea I suppose, if I can think of a good use for something. What you got?

    I have a line 6 Echo Park Delay, a Bass Big Muff and a visual sound Jekyll and hide distortion pedal. Let me know if any of that interests you and we could maybe strike up a deal?

    Hi guys,

    just looking for some ideas,

    im running a workshop for a load of bass players and drummers to help them play tighter/better together in bands.

    anyone got any advice that could help out?

    any tips that work for you to keep it tight and compliment all the other instruments?

    thanks!
