Hi all, I just joined the community.
I am learning to play bass and I am also studying to become a luthier.
I already do bass setups and shortly I'm going to learn fret crowning.
As per my gear, I found a decent Shine SB14 which I already vastly improved with a simple set up. Also, I rewired and replaced the creaky pots.
And shortly it's going to be crowning time!
Then most likely I'll install a couple of good J-pickups (passive). Any suggestion on preferred brands? Aguilar, Bartolini...
Amps, nothing special, just a small Peavey 15 to study.
In the future I'm going to build a decent cabinet with a valve head.
Yes, you guessed it, I'm a lifelong maker with experience of woodworking, audio electronics and fine mechanics.
Looking to get to know you all!
Best
