I have a little project looming and going to try these but I cannot really see the difference between the PBX and the PBXN pickups as they are both rated at 8.4k out put do any of you guys know what the difference is? cos the only one I can seem to find is the price EDIT I have just emailed the man himself I will post a reply when I get it so any one else who is interested in these can compare the 2

I have been thinking about a cheap P bass too I was thinking of buying a cheapo Westfield bass or something like that off ebay for 30 or 40 quid then modding it up with new tuners and pick ups something like Wilkinsons and I reckon I can stick together a pretty good bass for well under a ton

I think this is worth a peek at and it is here on basschat too http://basschat.co.uk/topic/231222-mim-fender-precision-l360-incuk-postage/

Ok so I have bought and sold loads of basses before and it has never bothered me but I have just sold my Fender P it is not the best or most expensive bass I have owned and I don't regret selling her as I needed the money but I am a tad sad she has gone Think we have all been a bit sad to see a bass go though haven't we?

They all look the same to me apart from the last one lol

I have owned both and if I was to own another I may buy a Squier and swap the pick ups and tuners and it would still be a shed load cheaper than a proper Fender but saying that the neck on my Fender was awesome best neck I have ever played but why not check out the Vintage Icon series bass they are a lot of bass for your money but but a touch on the heavy side for me but the quality and sound cannot be faulted

If it was me I would go for any of the Ampeg BA series no tuner but cracking amps or a TC BH combo series they have a built in tuner but are about 250W but I would not worry about a built in tuner I don't think they are all that great but that is just my personal view

I dont really understand your reasons it is only music its not like you are doing anything wrong how about playing in a Christian church band? then you can still enjoy your music and commit to your religious beliefs at the same time. But whatever you do I wish you happiness and good luck

The new AX7 album it is bloody great

[quote name='BassBus' timestamp='1402327819' post='2472226'] I've always liked DSL straps. Available from guitar guitar and strings direct. Come in different widths and slightly padded. Schaller strap locks on the straps for my custom basses. They use the same screws as standard strap buttons. [/quote] Schallers are good but the screws that came with them were to big for my G+L bass and my Fenders so I now use Fenders own straplocks and really like them but Schallers are equally as good I just did not want to drill my bass out to fit them

Here you go http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksid=p3984.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xernie+ball+straplock&_nkw=ernie+ball+straplock&_sacat=0&_from=R40

Why not try Ernie Ball's own brand of straplocks? I would think they are a direct fit for the strap pins you remove
