  1. [quote name='blablas' timestamp='1386189584' post='2297044'] Is Gibson 'inspired' allowed? I made this one myself, loosely based on the SG body shape. [/quote] Damn that's cool
  2. I also saw an amazing bass player who's name I don't remember play with Tajmahal.
  3. Paul Simonon of The Clash. Never heard him play a bad bass line.
  4. [quote name='Immo' timestamp='1390471178' post='2345684'] You want to have 4 pickups in one bass? You must be aware of some serious wiring issues, comb filtering effect (pickups dampening each other because of generating similar frequencies) and other problems. In general, to insure proper sound, you can run two PUs at once. Some time ago I was wondering about a 3+ PU configuration, but now I know about the problems it can deliver. Besides, each pickup = magnetic force at work with the metal in strings, which means a slight sustain reduction. It's better to have two tonally different basses than turning one into a 3+ pickup platform. I bought an Encore P-Bass copy and [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/223971-immo-custom-shopencore-twinsplit-p-bass/"]modded it by adding a second split coil PU[/url]. It added to versatility and tone. Adding another PU would only complicate things. For muddy tones I have my Tele bass with neck humbucker.

  5. And every one else feel free to talk about real or hypothetical mods on their own basses.
  6. I am a long time lover of the Fender Jazz Bass. I love the jazz tones, especially the bridge pickup Jaco tone, but want my bass to have more sonic flexibility and an expanded tonal range, as well as more power. So I had this crazy idea for my 2012 Fender Jazz: take the neck pickup, and move it to right behind the bridge pickup, put P bass pickups where the the neck pickup used to be, and then to top it all off, right up against the neck add a telecaster bass amoeba pickup. All the tone and volume controls would have the same look as the would for each bass (precision nobs for the P-bass pickups, telecaster nobs for the amoeba pickup etc.) I can't stop thinking about and I know it would cost a fortune but when I make some more money I will seriously consider going ahead with the mod. Just wanted to hear some thoughts about it.
  7. [quote name='squire' timestamp='1295904093' post='1101404'] [/quote] Did you take the horseshoe cover off? I didn't think that was possible.
  8. [quote name='4000' timestamp='1295299749' post='1093146'] My old '73 4000, 2nd 4001CS ('91), my '72 4001 (the only one still left and the love of my life) and my old '76 Azure. I have some scans of previous basses that I can't seem to post. My '71 21 fretter, recently sold.. ...and my '73 Paul Wilczynski restoration, sold to get the 21. [/quote] Does the toaster pickup sound better?
  9. [quote name='alanbass1' timestamp='1294997502' post='1088966'] My nice pair.... [/quote] Why do you have two? While I have zero?
  10. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1305715391' post='1235478'] And finally: Atlansia Solitaire [/quote] Can you use a slide on that or something? That's dope!
