My name is Dave Tenney, as you probably inferred from my channel name. This channel is a place where I post videos about some of the miscellaneous things I know enough about to be dangerous.
I also have another channel with my buddy John where we talk about the bible.

She is an absolute beauty!! IMO Basses are not investments. There are many better places to invest your money. Basses are to be played and enjoyed! ✊
Thanks for the awesome video man!!
Awesome video
Dude, sounds awful!
Great video!
I am going to try this for a custom 257ackley i built 2 years ago with a Brux MTU contour 1:8twist i finished at 31" I chsmbered with a reamer i designed to give 0.130" free bore and slightly tight necked just to do a good clean up neck turn on brass. I designed the reamer specifically for using Berger 133gr and 135gr lomg range match bullets and its an absolute hammer. Problem is hardly anyone makes 257rbt +P brass anymore, cant even hardly get 7x57mauser. So i think i will buy Lapua 30-06sprg brass and do this since i use that rifle for unlimited class 1000yd benchrest at Williamsport, PA. My only concern is getting brass flow that will constantly need turned off the outside of the case neck. Which isnt that big of an issue really
What pickups are you using?
NICE!
Motown or jaco!what else you need?
Best live album ever and Mars is my favorite bass player ever just off of that album alone!
I found it odd the on a Scott's Bass Lessons video that they crapped on the P/J configuration.
Great bass and playing. What make of pickups are they?
Converting cartridge cases is something I do fairly commonly. My top conversions .308 Win to 300 Savage, 7.62x39 to 6.5 Grendel, 40S&W to 357 SIG. It's a dieing art but very necessary for the "odder" cartridges, but it saves alot of money. The .06 is the grandfather of a lot of rounds, a lot! Harbor Freight and Amazon have those mini chop saws, and they work pretty good on the cases. Look up making 300 Blackout from .223 and one of the videos will have them. Get your son to wear safety glasses!
The 300 BLKOut very popular and available today, no need to go to the 223 cases
Great video. I am wanting to convert .270 Winchester to 25-06 - it should be easy. I am waiting on a 25-06 case gauge on back order.
Just make sure you trim your length on those. You can do 270 to 25-06 or neck up to 30-06. People make the mistake though of trying to use 30-06 or 25-06 to make 270win which you shouldnt do since 270win has a neck that is 0.050" longer for max case length and then have a case up in the chamber that the case is short and put all that flame at the back of the throat of their chamber. What you are doing though is fine just trim to 2.485" after otherwise you may have really grity feeling bolt lift after you fire a shot
I appreciate great dads teaching kids things.
Can you not just use one sheet that’s what if need told to do but this more sense
It's now a 257 Tenney!
Thanks Chris! It's pig skinning time 😩
Greetings Dave. I hope things are good there.
Yes! Things are going well...nothing exciting! No bass videos lately. Family stuff is more of what I have been focusing on. We're butchering some hogs tomorrow, so maybe I'll shoot some video of that. Hope all is well with you! Dave
Slapping went out of style? oh no!!!
Why is the video flashing ?...on TV with YT app...no other video does this...what a waste....
Hey thanks! I saw your other video with the green PJ with tort PG where you talk about and show the tones it gives you, it's exactly what I wanted!! do you know if this can be done using only one switch? not all combinations though just 3, P series only / P series + J series / P parallel + J series Thank you again!!
great solve for the traditional p/j circuit
It's been 5 years and I still think about this video every time I see a PJ bass. I still haven't installed a series/parallel switch on my bass though🤣
Dude, same. I was just revisiting the tones I'm using with my PJ when I play live, and this video popped into my head. Had to go back and rewatch it. I want that series/parallel switch now, too. Had it on a J Bass once and enjoyed it.
Would this work with a split coil active with a passive peizo?
awesome bass
I love my Ibanez Tmb30 short scale pj bass. I don't see it as a beginner model, or as a budget model, etc. I just see it as a bass, and it sounds absolutely great, especially its stock Dynamix pickups. I did the set up myself, and a short scale can be very forgiving if you don't get the action 100% correct, it is just comfortable, stays in tune and has such clear tone. I put on a set of DR Highbeams and wow, tons of low, mid and high end punch, no fret buzz, no funny business Sure, I wish to get myself a Fender or something some day, but for now I am absolutely happy with an instrument that didn't cost much yet was made with good quality pickups.
Wouldn't two 8' 3/4" and another 8' 3/4" to cover the middle seam be enough in this case? It seems like the two outside pieces wouldn't do much and the outside is generally where things are most solid anyway.
Hi Dave. Hope your hand is recovered fully by now. I was wondering what the case length came to after fire forming?
Why bassists are mostly big men?
Great video, cool bass brah. I'd agree with you about 'slappin' going out of style, but only in rock, like RHCP, RATM and others similar. But in funk, certain R&B tracks and some jazz, slappin' will never go out of style, imo. Rock on buddy!!!
Hey man, thank you for this video. I am in the process of building a bass, and I was thinking of getting either a Jazz type, or a PJ, but hearing the Series/Parallel switch option you have on your machine really made me decide for a PJ. I gotta ask the luthier about that switch option
It's a simple thing to wire in - I have a video that explains the wiring diagram of his bass.
Smaller screen or bigger bean & it would be better!
You are probably right!
Dave, great video! The previous owner of my old home cut through a second-floor joist for plumbing. Usually, fixing it means adding sisters on both sides, connecting with headers. Would your method suit my situation, where fitting a new 2x8x16’ is challenging without removing more than the bathroom flooring? Unfortunately, I can't touch the hallway's wood floors, and even removing the ceiling below the hallway feels like it wouldn’t solve the problem.
I think I would laminate two layers of plywood on both sides and use a lot of glue. That should make it nice and strong again.
Wow that's a beautiful looking Bass
Thanks!
My 1981/2 VOX Standard bass is wired in this way. Thanks for sharing - was looking for an explanation - the wiring diagram is a bonus, as I am swapping out some of the components and re-soldering everything. Much easier than trying to read the rather blobby soldering on the switch. Cheers.
No problem - Glad it helped!
Mars was my best friend for over 40 years. We lived / fished / rocked / pRTIED / dove together and his musical instincts were amazing. This is a great tribute.
That is awesome!! I loved his playing.
Great video man !!!
Appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing this! I am using this to turn my p bass into a pj.
Perfect!
You did a great job in this video. Another way to get a P bass to sound less in your face is to turn the amp up a little and play with a lighter touch or play closer to the neck.
Thanks for the tips! The tone is in your hands!!!
Thank you for posting this. It makes sense how this is a very flexible way to set up a PJ
No problem!
Is the view of the pots connected to the pickguard flipped upside down? Or as if looking through a clear pickguard screwed on?
I'm not sure what I was thinking when I made this as regards to the orientation. Sorry!
Good video, I've definitely gotten use to my 5s I don't even have any 4s anymore. Definitely used to playing more vertically now the one thing that is a big con for 5s is you have to find a really well constructed bass to have that nice tight B string that doesn't sound and feel flubby. i.e. Lakland 55-01 for me. I do have to do a lot of transposing for different singers so the 5 is really nice for that and believe it or not a lot of country really calls for are just sounds really great with those lower root notes and playing that E scale on the 5th fret of the B string is amazing imo. We all have our preferences stay blessed my brother!
It's Dave!
Yeppers!!
Good info! Love the Pretty Woman reference when it comes to a dominant 7th. Makes it easy to remember.
Excellent!
Very informative for me. Aloha from Hawaii.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Dave, but this water may be too deep for this old bear. I just learn songs by ear, and sometimes I can't learn to walk, so I just run away.
Mars never got alot of love for whatever reason but truly one of the Best Bassist of the time, Dave Pastorious is doing his Bass parts proud and does the key ones then his own 😊 thanks for sharing
I don't care what pickup configuration there is and which is best is an individual thing but more songs have been done with a one pickup P-bass than any other bass and there is a reason for that.
Thx for this! Getting my new PJ short scale moded from vvt to a V 3ws T and a push pull on the tone for a SP Switch!
Love me some reasonable takes on bass gear ! Today I cancelled an order of new pickups (180€ dimarzio) that i planned for my squire, knowing very well i would not get 180€ of value in playing pleasure or skill. Im considering buying myself a second hand mex or US model though :p
