thanks

hey bassist !

whut is the best noob bass i can grab for starter ?
and price..

thx in advance
cheers!

here's pickups' section keke
i like squeir though many wud tel u bout SX

owhh.. sorry keke

k here's the choices:

which pair would u guys choose?
1. jb/59
2. custom5/59

gonna put them into my epi.

thnx.

i have a JB/59 combo
i'd to say that the 59 is not the most spectacular neck pickup around, tho it hits the oldie PAF tones pretty well =) perfect for blues but not much of other stuff i'd say, not so suitable IMO.
JB wise in the bridge, sounds very good. The strong mids on the lp mixes very well with the slightly scooped low-mid freq of the JB.

custom5, i haven't tried that b4, so i can't say.

all i can add is if you play classic rock or blues, the 59 is really really nice, but if you want an all rounder i think the jazz would do a better job.
but then again, i only tried the jazz in alder bodied guitar, so i might change my mind if i hear a jazz in a paul.

hope that info from a not so experienced person can help cheers

hey thnx. neck pups ar..... jazz nicer for slash's-like tone than 59? other than alnico2.

any other comments?

lai rossie, u noe i listen to ur advise a lot. lol.

JB/59 cuz i've tried it on an LP and it is oh so sweet, the output matches well and dunnolah, just nice lol

yeah, note that JB isn't the hottest around.
but its just nice for me =D

you don't need hot pickups for good tone bro
haha

Yeah man, I like how the JB sounds. But itching to get a new ax to have sonic variations. Looking for some alder bodied guitar. YUM
Anyway, have you tried Dimarzio Super Distortion in an alder bodied guitar? How does it sound?

I have a Super D but its on my RG Prestige which is made of basswood.
Smoking...

And the Paf Fred and Paf Pro on my JS1000 which is also made of basswood.
I like this even better, Satch really knows what he wants.

I WANT an SZ4020!

thing is im no big fan of basswood, its a neutral sounding wood to me =/
i want something brighter like alder.

my bass is basswood

but basswood are famous more mids
tats y satriani, vai, petrucci use basswood for their axe

hey wanna ask...the middle position for this 3 way switch pickup is two single coil
used together is it?..does it retain the single coil sound...or is it still humbucker?

should be humbucker
easy way to test, just push the gain higher and see if its quiet like a humbucker or not

i tink its a humbucker in series mode
im nt tat gud in electronics haha

I just swapped a Fred/Pafpro too in my RG, good balanced tone with lots of harmonics and versatile enough for a wide range of styles. Sounds pretty good splitted also.

I think they are wired out of phase, (not in series) to give you that Strat in-between (positions 2/4) twangy sound.
