Re: Category #10 Submissions: Best NON-Fender Bass My Warmoth Jazz:

Pickups come in cardboard boxes or plastic cases, right? and the magnetic fields of the pickups aren't limited to the containers, right? So does stacking/moving/storing pickups in their boxes have any effect on the long term life & health of the pickups? Could they sit side-by-side or one on...

Re: What Bridge Can I Use To Replace This One? You might consider this. It's not really anything like a badass (omega) bridge, but it is a high-mass bridge with what appears to be the same bolt pattern. It's a Gotoh J510SJ, if you're interested.

Re: busted nut (on my Jazz) No offense, but isn't that exactly the opposite of what you said in your opening post? You can get a Fender high(er) mass bridge that will still fit the look of your bass (in my opinion, it will vastly improve the look of your bass, because I really don't like the...

Re: Speaking of Gotoh 201 bridges... You are more than welcome. I believe people are entitled to like what they like, I don't begrudge anybody that. I am also a believer in making an informed decision, hence the suggestions. If you're going to be fiercely loyal to a brand, you could do a...

Re: Speaking of Gotoh 201 bridges... Some suggestions: (All of these bridges are direct replacements, and require no drilling.) Babicz Hipshot A Hipshot B Gotoh Fender

Re: Extra-long-scale conversion necks?? If you want a really long scale, Skip Fantry at Knuckle Guitar Works makes the Knuckle Quake, a bass with a 39.5" scale. (39.5" is not a typo.) He makes a 4-string version. Of course, you need a spare 3 grand, and you might not like the headstock.

Re: Extra-long-scale conversion necks?? I have a Peavey Grind 4-string bass in a 35" scale. Their 5-string version is also 35". The basses in the picture are older models. You can get the newer ones, still 35", for about $400.

Re: New to Bass. Need Amp Advice.. In that case, I'd second ehdwuld's suggestion of Carvin. In the link he provided, there are two nice combo amps for $349 and one for $299. If I was looking for a practice amp and that was my budget, that's probably what I would do. For what it's worth...

Re: How Would You Wire This? Nice looking body! I would wire it the same way I wired my three-pickup Warmoth Jazz. One stacked V/T control for each pickup, a Turnstyle rotary switch that has one position for full manual control and five tone presets, and a master stacked V/T control. (I...

Re: First bass? $220 for a new Squier Vintage Modified Tele bass. Not a bad starting point. I would actually get this for myself, but I'd still plan on replacing the J pickup. And the bridge. And eventually, most likely, the neck.
