I can't disagree with the other posters so far, an acoustic bass guitar will always be the least useful bass you own if you have one, I love mine though - even in the light of its lack of practical application. They are however, useful to have around the house as a practice instrument you can quickly pick up and work through things on. My acoustic bass has the chunkiest neck I think I've ever played so it's a bit like bass gym for my hands and wrists (and I'm a dude with large hands). These are still being made and sold in large quantities by many bass companies despite the fact they're kind of useless, I've always wondered why. Probably because of mugs like me who buy them...😁

Putting passive pickups into a bass with an active preamp??
EdLib-3 replied to EdLib-3's topic in Repairs and Technical
Allow me to resurrect this topic with a final update, here's the bass with all the mods completed: The DiMarzio passive pickups went in fine with the bass's active preamp and sound excellent, many thanks for the advice!! I also had some Gotoh tuners fitted to replace the stock ones after the Schallers I bought were too wide in the backplate to fit the headstock. Lastly, strap locks fitted and I did a u-turn and decided to change the stock bridge to a beefy Kluson high mass bridge after all . Plays and sounds way, way better. No longer such an inexpensive bass now... 😬 -

Nice set of PJ pickups recently removed from a 1997 Ibanez TR200 bass. There is a bit of scratching to the plastic of the side casings (especially on the jazz pickup) but overall in pretty good condition and perfect working order. Need a set of inexpensive PJs for a bass build? These could be the ones... Here's my feedback thread: Price includes postage in the UK only, payment by PayPal gift or bank transfer please.

Set of new 4 in-line Fender style tuners in a nickel finish, for a right handed bass: I bought these lovely machine heads new two weeks ago but much to my dismay they are very slightly too wide in the back plate to fit onto the slimmer headstock of my Ibanez bass; they slightly overlap. Unfortunately due to my questionable measurement calculations they are now up for sale whilst I make other arrangements to replace the tuners on my Ibanez TR200 that offend me so deeply on a visual level. Absolutely gutted. Details, specs and dimensions can be found on the Schaller website: https://schaller.info/en/machine-heads/288/original-f-series-bmf They come boxed and with original packaging, unused as they were never fitted to my bass, and with the bushings and mounting screws.

EdLib-3 replied to EdLib-3's topic in Repairs and Technical
Update: here's the bass in question; it turned up in very good condition and plays very nicely. It's currently having the work done for the mods so this is a 'before' pic. I'll post a better picture (backlit..never good) when the new DiMarzio pickups, Schaller machine heads and strap locks have been fitted. I decided against replacing the stock bridge as it's a pretty decent high mass bridge, I'm really looking forward to ditching those tuners though, they're totally wrong for that headstock and in general an absolute travesty! -
I sold a Badass Bridge to Paul - quick payment, easy transaction and a nice guy. Cheers Paul!
