Bump

I am replacing the pups on my Matt Freeman bass with Seymour Duncan SPB-4 pups . I`ve been looking at CTS pots on Thomanm site for better quality pots. There are three different CTS 250 k pots. Confused which one to get. Can anyone please assist?

This bass feels and sounds like a beast. Most people say it's heavy with chunky neck. I went to a music store and tested one today,played IM riffs with ease. My fingers aren't long and had no issues. The only disadvantage is that I was unable to buy it as we are expecting a baby, and already own four guitars and two amps. The bass looks, feels and sounds great. Not a WH fan but the FC crest would not bother me at all.

I am thinking buying SPB-4 pups to replace tge manufacturers pups on my Matt Freeman squier bass. Purely as I want to be able to get closer to Steve Harris sound. I am aware that there are other aspects to sound like him. My question is, would I need to rewire tge electronics ir add anything as SPB-4 are different frequency. Many Thanks

Seymour Duncan SPB-4 pick ups

[quote name='Lord Sausage' timestamp='1440749331' post='2853442'] There are a few isolated bass tracks on YouTube. If you listen, you will here how sloppy he is! Poor. If they are him? Which I think they are! http://youtu.be/23YO8ijT4Ao http://youtu.be/qSYuse9o8KI [/quote] You might think he is sloppy, but neither you or any other bassist out there have as much as passion, drive and determination to achieve what Steve Harris has . I've listened to different bass isolated tracks by other artists but I love Steve's style. He is unique and his isolated tracks, if it's him, sound raw and powerful.

I've had this bass for nearly three months and I am blown away with the sound especially when playing IM songs. It still has the strings it came with,but may change tgem and put Rotos on.

I have a jazz more versatile, but use only my PB. The sound is just what I like.

What's your band called?

At the moment?! The moment has been two year long now. Steve Harris P bass in Royal blue. Unfortunately I bought Squier p bass Matt Freeman two weeks ago so I wouldn't be able to justify buying it if one came up. Or would I?

This bass sounds awesome when playing Iron Maiden songs.The tone button responds well when playing other stuff which I am not good at.

I am thinking Steve Harris sig pick ups!

Finally my new Squier PB arrived. It's the Matt Freeman signature, but who cares. I simply like the lacquered maple neck and vintage white. It sounds awesome with the strings it came. Once i were them out I'll put rotos on.

Glad thete is lots of good reviews on this bass. I own Squier vibe jazz bass and is awesome. Although i changed the pups to Seymour Duncan and nevet gave original ones a proper chance. Could be psychological.

Thanks mate. I probably won't have time to recycle the bass bix when it arrives

Most players set the saddle, trust rod etc. I noticed there's a slight curve on my jazz bass neck due to chunky roto strings i use. Of course it plays out the box, but everyone talks about setting up. I personally lower the action.

.

I have ordered one too. I ordered a white one, they delivered a black one yesterday. The box even said vintage white. I called the shop and they should deliver one tomorrow. Another day wasted waiting, hopefully itll e worth it. How do I set up the bass. Never set one up.

I want to keep the sound of the bass the same as jt comes out my bass amp, especially through head phones the sound is amazing.

Thanks guys.It appears that Focusrite is more suitable than Line 6.

I started experimenting with recording. So far I got as far as recording bass and guitar on Audacity via laptop mic in front of amp. Reminds me garage recording when In was 17 on a double cassette stereo tape player/ recorder with slightly better quality. Obviously this comes with lots of unwanted sounds as the work is done in the living room. I read lot of good info about Focusrite scarler currently comes with free mic and headphones retails around £149. I went to my local store and I was recommended the line 6 pod studio ux2, comes with lots of extra such a s pre amps, stomp boxes. I am after something I can play music through and play to it for example You tube recording or simple composing. Any advice from those who record would be appreciated.
