They look like the p pickup that was in a Vintera p bass that I used to own, pretty sure they are the same pickup as in the American standard p basses, decent pickups

Just got a Nordstrand NJ4SE bridge pickup for my pj Mustang bass, have wired it up to my Mustang bass and connected the white hot wire and the black ground wire (I have had to reverse this and treat black as hot and white as ground in order to be in phase with the p pickup in this bass) however I noticed that the gray wire which is also supposed to be a ground wire for the pickup poles when I wire this the same way as the black wire (which is supposed to be ground but I have had to treat it as hot in order for the pickup to be in phase with the p pickup) there is a slight roll of of high frequencies compared to with just the black and white wires connected, is this meant to happen? I am wondering if I should be treating the gray as a ground even though I have had to reverse the wires on the white and black wires in order for the pickup to be in phase with the p pickup, any ideas? Thank you

It depends on exactly what your gigging circumstances are, I have a Mark bass amp that is 300 watts and the band I am in uses a pa and the bass goes through that as well as through the speaker on the combo amp and I am considering downgrading as this amp is absolute overkill for our gigs, I think the loudest I have had it is 9 o clock on the volume, even if we were not using a pa I think the amp produces more volume than I would ever need for our pub gigs.

Has anyone in UK bought a bass from Fender 'Mod Shop'?

Nice idea but only a choice of a P or J bass (no Mustang option available) means that even if I had a couple grand burning a hole in my pocket I wouldn't go for it. -
Hoping someone can help, what can I use to pad this case out so my Mustang fits it snuggly (and if you can advise where I can purchase from that would really be appreciated), I appreciate any help with this, thank you

Wow that's gorgeous, I've had gas for this bass in pink ever since these were released.

Pedals for sale, these do not have the original boxes (apart from the Eden glow plug) and you will need a 9v power supply for these (not supplied) except for the Spark booster which also takes a 9v battery and the Eden glow plug which takes a 15v power supply which I can provide, please note that the bass tube screamer features a blend knob but you never get a fully clean tone from the pedal, I looked this up and this is normal for this pedal, the clean blend on fully clean just gives you a cleaner tone but not fully clean individual prices as below but if anyone feels like buying the whole lot then we can work out a discounted price Ibanez parametric eq pedal - £65 shipped - sold Ibanez bass tube screamer £65 shipped Joyo Scylla compressor - £30 shipped Tc Electronics Spark booster - £25 shipped - sold Tc Electronics Thunderstorm flanger £20 shipped - sold Eden glow plug tube warmer overdrive now £35 shipped Joyo double thruster overdrive now £20 shipped - sold -

I had a black one of these many years ago, I remember mine being a very dark sounding bass, as I was very young with very little electronics knowledge it frustrated me no end, nowadays I would get a solderless harness fitted. I do wish I still had that bass, it wasn't a particularly good bass, it weighed about 15 ibs, the pickguard cracked in 2 places and had a tone that have been right at home only in a dub reggae band but but there is something very cool and quirky about these basses. -

The original song is much better, you are right though great bassline -
As per the thread title has anyone here played both? I have a player Mustang but for around £200 these have a lot of cool features not on the Fender (caramelised maple neck, neck binding, body contours, 12" neck radius) on paper I'm preferring the HB but wondering how they actually stack up, thanks

Mine is slightly overdriven and on my parametric equaliser a slight boost at 80hz, slight cut at 250hz, big boost at 780hz, big boost at 620hz, slight boost at 1.5khz, these frequencies may vary very slightly but generally this is what works with my current band and I go for an overdriven mud heavy tone.

I think you made the right call going with the Vintera, I had a Vintera P bass a while ago and I moved it on as I only really play short scales but it was a fantastic bass, way better than any Squier I have they played, you do get what you pay for.

Definitely noticeably stiffer, the exception being TI Jazz flats
