BASS

Bass guitars are one of the best instruments to mod for many reasons- lots of mass provides plenty of signal to work with, there's a wide variety of high impedance and low impedance aftermarket pickups and practically all guitar mods work well on bass. Common bass upgrades include:

​

• Adding snappier pickups to thick basses to increase agility- Adding JBass pups to a PBass style

• Adding thicker pickups to a snappy bass to increase bottom end - Adding a humbucker to a Jbass style

• Adding active electronics that support active tone controls to increase sonic coverage

• Custom switching (a slap switch is a great example), to provide fast access to major tonal changes

​

As with guitars, low cost basses, including Squire, Epiphone, Ibanez and Yamaha, can morph into instruments that outshine the most expensive basses.

​

And even the best basses can be reconfigured to better fit your sytle- Lakland, Music Man, Rickenbacker, Warwicks all are easily modified and often benefit from custom controls.
