My main bass tone with my band is a Bad Monkey into my Ampeg because it’s aggressive, cheap, and keeps the low end without using one of those crappy dry signal mix controls. New arrangements mean I leave most of my rig at the practice space and decided to look for a backup for home noodling and...

The mix is our best so far. If I never mentioned it before, I’m vox and bass. Mudbuckers into a Digitech Bad Monkey into my Ampeg is thick as fukk, boy. https://priyashammer.bandcamp.com/track/wicked-sorcerer-demo

I also have a CV with a QP but it’s a 60s. I am VERY fond of it.

The QP Jazz is still weak compared to the QP P, sadly.

https://priyashammer.bandcamp.com/track/lights-from-the-sky-demo I’m not super hot on my bassline and I think the main vocals could be a bit less dry if doubled, but overall, I think we’re getting our shit together pretty well.

Lightest is a 1980 Burny. Faber Tone Lok bridge and Rio Grande BBQ. It’s around 7 lbs, nothing special. Heaviest is this 75 Ventura Ripper copy at 13.2lbs.

1/4” steel bar the full width of the inside of the cover eliminates the need for string alignment. The side plates further open up the magnetic window but be sure to cut slots in the center to allow full contact with the magnets.

There are a couple mudbucker mods I did to mine to ensure it was as loud as I wanted it to be. 1. The wiring colors for the Artec muddies are all over the place. Don’t just assume they’re in series. Mine actually came wired wrong. 2. The mags might also be in the wrong orientation. Ensure...

I’ve only got one short scale and it’s the TMB-30. I modded the bejesus out of it but that’s only because I was shocked at the playability and feel and for $189, it was worth some upgrades.

Gruhn nails it. I’m only in my 40s but I remember some of those Kays, Danos, and Tiescos that were still floating around in the late 80s. They’re the reason I still have to get past my snobbery, now and then. There are plenty of guys out there sounding great at gigs with cheap guitars, nowadays.

It doesn’t really matter.

Just these two dirty birds: History (Fujigen) ZJS-CFS converted to passive W/QPs (hardware is bulletproof) and an Ibanez TMB-30 with just about everything changed out (all hardware, pots, jack, QP/Tbird pup) and an enormous chunk of clear ripped off, set up for C tuning. I really wanted a short...

A pair of Czech Dean Korina Zs. They have different pickups, now but this was a few years back.

For fixing my dead QP coil. You are a gentleman and a scholar. I shall never show my ass in your house, again. Best behavior from here on out.
