  1. a buddy of mine had bought some saga pickups that someone had sold to him because they wanted texmex pus in thier saga kit, he bought them because he had a mexi strat that had everything but the pickups and i thought they sounded pretty good, my lazy ears have never really been able to tell the differences in pickups anyhow, my amp settings pretty much stay right where they are and im just like oh well, but anyhow, i would think for cost of a squier, plus i have never once in my life played a squier off the shelf that IMHO was setup perfect in that by the time you either setup yourself or paid the shop to do it you would be better off bolting together your own kit and learning how to setup your own instrument to your tastes, i finally a few years ago started to attempt setting up my own gear and have found that i enjoy it very much, i have a light touch and love to play with eights so my setups are not quite the norm but fenders are buzzy anyhow to me at least and in building your own kit you can experiment with different string sets and sizes etc... and find your own combo that works well for you, thats what i would suggest
  2. you got that decal off ebay??? is that legaL??? I mean for someone to sell something like that??? i was just wondering thats all
  3. why is the headstock stamped used hmmm sounds like a refurb to me
  4. gotta love this place thanks, you have pm
  5. on that red olp, what is exactly required to make it a playable bass, i mean what other than a bridge would be needed??? and do you have a better pic of these so called cheesy decals??? i would be interested in the instrument if you still have it off hand, 150 bucks give or take, if still available lemme know
  6. on my new fretless jazz that i just bought im having trouble with the vloume and popping/crackling of the electronics, im not too sure if its the pots themselves or if its the plug jack, i have tried several combos of cords and amps and verified its the same symptoms no matter what so it must be in the bass instead of the cord or amps, i even bought another brand new cord just to be sure, so with that being eliminated i need to now look at the bass, any suggestions of what i should be looking for behind the chrome plate, anyone point me to potential trouble points? previous owner had put lace sensor pickups in it so i have no idea if the control part of the wiring is original or if theres anything different now thanks jeremy oh yea i get change of volume by messing with the tone pot and sometimes just bumping or jiggling the chord plug, also it gets louder then quieter with the vols too, so im thinking its something else loose and not just the pots, anyhow, i thought i should add that
  7. I agree with him, the MM style of the high E on the bottom would be cool, but if you have to choose from the other I would suggest the key being at the tip instead of at the bottom, I would suggest if you chose the MM idea, I would also bring the B as well so its more like an axis or something, but again, you may not want to cut on the head anymore so its your call, good luck
  8. i would think at some point you can only come up with so many shapes and theres going to be some sort of similarities with all of them, come on, a guitar is basically a guitar, the whole thing just sort of irritates me really
  9. just read all the 20 pages etc.... i would like to help you out man, (Jehle) that is, I cant afford much but PM me and Address and Ill mail you a check for a small amount of money to help you some. It wont be much but maybe it will buy you and your wife a nice dinner or something. To take your mind off your troubles for an evening, or could cover the cost of a book of stamps or 2 as Im sure you went through quite a few so far. Anyhow, just PM me with an address and Ill send you a little something. I want too. I know court costs just plain suck and it blows because you shouldnt have even had to screw with it in the first place. peace Jeremy
  10. i remember when kramer did some strat copies too, with the strat peghead and were sued for it, hell they all are copy catting each other, its kinda funny, because no one here has mentioned one name im sure you wall know, yea thats right boys and girls, its SAMICK, hell its ironic, those korean guys at samick have been producing all these guitars for years, under licensces for gibson, fender, etc..... if it says made in korea, its probably made by samick, in fact its funny a friend of mine once showed me an article with a photo showing epis and squiers being made in the same factory side by side, i thought it to be funny, anyhow just my 2 and half cents to this thread
  11. hey thanks for the explanation and thanks for the place to place online pics, cheers jeremy
  12. hey all, i just got my new fretless jazz bass, my question is theres a little copper strip of metal that runs between the fender lace sensor pickup and the bridge of the bass, i have never seen that strip before on any of the other jazz basses that i have owned and or had access too before, also never had lace sensors before, whats the benefit of those pickups? i just bought the bass because i wanted the fretless neck, wondering if i should just leave those pickups in there or not, was thinking of upgrading but apparently someone had already done so thanks Jeremy ps is someone can gimme a place to host a pic or 2 ill post them if needbe
  13. if you can you might want to find out about the internal wiring etc... i actually thought of something, finding a mark hoppus pickguard might be kinda hard, you will most likely have to custom make one and or buy a mexican made squier series for the pickguard, they used a similar pickguard to the hoppus one which used no chrome control plate, however there would be two additional tone control holes in it, just and idea, you could always put those two holes to good use and add something else to the electronics, who knows, personally i would go for the single pickup and vol control rear routed and elimante the pickguard all together, so many possibilities, have fun with it
  14. i was just debating refretting a bass i was considering on ebay, but i didnt go through with it, someone on here suggested a refret kit from a company called stewart mc donald that seemed pretty nice, you might want to check into that, im sure someone around here could give you more info on it best of luck to ya
  15. oh yea, i definately agree, i love the J bass neck, much easier on the hand after a few hours, much more comfortable, that mark bass is nice though, i like the simplicty of one pickup and one volume, very nice and that pickup is a meaty one too, the jazz body IMHO is also much more comfortable with the off set waist, so again, its all about personal preferences, good luck with the descion, have fun with it
