Cheers for the warm welcome guys I'm gonna do some digging around on the forum to see what tips people have suggested for projects similar to mine (defretting for example). Also just went and joined North East Bass Bin at your suggestion Matt A meet-up would be awesome too!

Hello Basschat! Got directed here by a fellow bassist when I mentioned some projects I'm wanting to do.

First off:[list]
[*]23 year-old multi-instrumentalist, but chiefly a bassist.
[*]Own 3 three basses: Ibanez SR505; Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Bass HB; Epiphone Viola Bass
[*]Two rigs: TC Electronic BH250 head with RS112 cab (current); Behringer Ultrabass head with Peavey 2x10 cab (old busted).

I have two planned projects involving two of my basses.

#1. Fairly simple - add a second pickup to my Jaguar. The current pickup is cool for what it does (kind of trebley snarl), but I also want something closer to a Jazz Bass pickup closer to the neck, but also an active like the current one.

#2. Probably ridiculous and not worth it, but I want to turn my Viola Bass into something of a tiny upright bass. I intend to make it fretless, and use a piezo pickup (or similar) to hopefully take advantage of the hollow body.


Plus, it's always good to network with other bassists
