    I don't think I'll go for extreme !

    @Baloney Balderdashwould the 51 p bass pickup be the incorrect spacing for a short scale though? Guitar pickup: should it be bridge , middle or neck or does it matter much in this case?

    Any tips for a Bronco bass (Squier) replacement pickup? Heaps of info out there I know, but a lot from the 00s. I will most likely get the wiring upgrade kit, but not sure if I would go 130 quid for the McNelly pickup. Anything cheaper but geared for bass? (HB or single coul even). Strat pickups work obvously. I do have a JB Junior neck p90 pickup for a strat, but no idea how that would sound on a bass...

    @Obrienp I think I will just look at a pickup and wiring upgrade then and won't fiddle around with the bridge. Not really worth pumping a lot of money into it. I do have a short bridge for a bass lying around, which I swear I bought for the Bronco way back, but not sure of the spacing.

    Hi folks. I picked up the same Squier Bronco bass I sold a year or so ago by chance. I had planned to upgrade the pickup and maybe the bridge, so asking again! I already have replacement tuners, and may stain the neck with linseed oil or similar. Would a 34" scale single coil pickup fit, or would there be a spacing issue so better to replace with a drop in pickup? Any cheap bridge that would be an upgrade on the stock one? Same with the nut. Anything here? Thanks!

    Any recommendations for lighter tuners for an Epiphone EB0 bass?

    I would guess the longscale bass would have some neck dive. Fat Mike of NOFX plays a long scale, which is a bass I wouldn't associate with punk music. Yeah, I have noticed prices have risen on Danos in the last few years.

    @msb I definitely prefer the 59 look v the Longhorn, but the LH sounds really nice. I have been tempted by the long scale 59 bass. The few demos out there, it sounds ok, and looks unique. I had a few of their guitars. Supposed to be "stinky poo", but great fun and great sounding. Hopeing to get a 59 guitar again.

    Thanks folks. It's the PJ config I would be looking at though.

    Hi guys. I am thinking of unleashing my inner Mike Inez (Alice in Chains). I've seen some good deals at the moment on the Performer 4 and the Legend 4. One is made in Indonesia, the other in Korea. The Indo one has a reverse P config, the Korean Legend one doesn't. I've seen some demos that suggest both models could do with a pickup and electronics upgrade. Apart from the finishes, any suggestions of one v the other?

    Might get another for roundwounds!

    I had the special I think it was called, a few years ago. Black with the thin finish. Sold it but am tempted to get the standard again. I have the EB0 Epiphone with flat wounds, an upgraded pickup and brass nut and its a brilliant little thing so maybe the SG would be a waste of a purchase!

    Any love these days for the Gibson SG bass? No issues with the floppy E?
  15. barrycreed
    Bought an SG bass off the Cranberries drummer a few years ago.

    Will soon be down to just a P bass from parts and an Epi SG slightly with flatwounds. Will have a Travis Bean style aluminium neck short scale bass in the new year, but will be selling it as soon as I get it for funds.

    Any idea what those two pickup lawsuit SG basses are like? Burny, Columbus etc?

    I believe these are passive? https://lacemusic.com/products/nate-newton-signature-riffblaster-bass-pickup

    Hi all, I hope this is the right section. Long time no post. Looking around at some modern P bass pickups. Kicking around the Lace Sensor, DiMarzios or Kent Armstrong Hot P bass pickups. Anyone got any experience of the Lace ones? In the demo video, they sound really punchy, but I won't post the video link, as I have to take into account the guitar and amps used. Big old Oranges and big old cabs! They might be way too hot though....

    Those Reverend Sentinels. You don't see many videos etc. Anyone ever snag one?
  21. barrycreed
    It's from Trent Guitars.

    "Homer Simpson style scream!". Abandon idea, abandon idea!
  23. barrycreed
    I might just go 34”, it doesn’t **have** to be a short scale.
  24. barrycreed
    EXTREMELY long time no post. Anyone here tune their short scale bass to standard D (often to dropped C). I am toying with the idea of picking up another short scale in standard D, but feel a 34" might be less hassle with floppy strings.

    Might have been posted already but anyone see the new Aria Pro II DMB 206? Looks cool anyway.
