Another happy customer here. Bought my second loom from John in 2 weeks. Really helpful and great to deal with. Top quality components and easy to fit. Thanks again John, much appreciated.

Hello, I was checking out a few p bass pickup reviews today and came across this guy. I've never seen a muting technique like this before - I wondered if any of you utilise this "thumb under the strings" technique? It looks odd but I would imagine it is pretty effective at killing unwanted noise. Where's my bass - I'm going to give it a go!

Just transplanted my first @KiOgon Loom - I have no doubt it won't be my last. Great to deal with and top quality. Arrived really quickly too. Love the solderless connections- dropped in really easily. Many thanks John.

Thanks Paul - I knew it would be straightforward. It's been a long hot week! Yes I had to widen the holes on my pickguard to get the new pots in but it was no bother and well worth it.

Woof! I covet that bass! 66 is my birth year and a 66P is right at the top of my Bucket list. It is a thing of beauty. I can only imagine how it sounds. Pass me a swatch of kitchen roll - I'm drooling. 😬

I've now installed a KiOgon loom - went in nice and easy and I really liked the solderless option. I guess I am now one of those "Happy Basschatters" that are enjoying KiOgon's handiwork. I would join you in recommending him. Great to deal with and really quick response. I would copy him in if I could work out how todo the "@" function! Happy days! my crackly pots and dodgy jack are a thing of the past! Thanks to everyone for their sage advice. ☺️

Thanks for this Bassassin - I'll take a look. Much appreciated. 👍

Thanks BOTB - I'll check them out.

Thanks - that's helpful. Could be worth a shot.

Thanks RB 😊 Yes it looks and feels great - Just need to fix the sound!

Thanks Paul- much appreciated.👍

Hello I picked up this Antoria P Bass a while ago. Having tinkered around a bit it is now set up nicely. Great slim neck that plays really well. For a budget P Bass clone I'm impressed. I'll probably upgrade the tuners at some point but my main issue is the pickup. I'm assuming its a Maxon pickup (?) but it's not sounding great. Age may have got the better of it. I thought I would tap in to the formidable Hive brain of Basschat for some advice. Would it be worth getting a rewind / repot of the pickup, or could anyone suggest a quality replacement that wouldn't entail routing out the pickup cavity? If I did go down the replacement route, I would need something the same size as the original (approx 7cms X 3cms). I will be upgrading the wiring harness too. Basically any advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance 😊

I feel slightly nauseous 🤢

Thanks for the welcome GB. Another Leicestershire Bass Player - must be something in the water - or maybe something about the relaxed, non showy culture over here! 🤣

😂 Lovely turn of phrase GB and spot on!

Nice part of the world, and not too far from me at all. Thanks for the welcome 😀

Thanks for the welcome BB - Glad I'm not the only Bass Player in the village!

I have to agree. The VS4 is really well made and plays really well - but I can't get on with the pickups - too harsh and metallic. I've tried several string sets, lowered the pups a bit, but I'm now considering a pickup and pots swap - the Aguilar is a good shout.

Erm, let me have a think about that thanks but no! 😜

Maybe a long lost one three times removed! I probably would have chosen a different screen name if I had known. He must be the James Jamerson version.

No relation! 😂

Now that looks like a bass you would want to grab and play to bits. Nice work!

For me, yes absolutely . I have an Electra VS4 - the Sandberg basic P bass. It is super bright. Apparently they have 500 pots as opposed the the P's 250s - it's a job taming the brightness when all you really want is good old vintage P thump. They are fantastic instruments - really well made and for the price range they do punch above their weight - but a P bass it ain't!

Thanks ReggaeBass I appreciate the herb you brought for me, Natty Dreadlocks! You have fine taste sir
