I have some strings with a pale blue silk wrap. Another set with a bright red wrap. Most of the strings that I keep only have one or 2 days use but the wraps get torn off. I have sets with Red, Gold, Black, Greem, and Blue ends! They have been bagged and in by String Case for maybe 5 years some...

Have you set this up yet???

Sir. I want this bridge. It's the most logical high mass bridge I have seen for many years. Fender did have one many years ago but they kept losing or breaking off adjusting knobs. They never did anything to improve the problem but discontinued them. Typical Fender!(why do I love them?)Going to...

Hope this helps? I got some with Pick Guard off but if you want to see them daughter will find them jaja! Darn it. I got Telecaster to climb over, and was thin king about another posting. Sorry guys. I hate bein old! Looking for TC photos now jaja!

Before I saw your comment my first response on seeing this picture was 'it's been poured on'!I have some oldie Fenders and natural discolouration is far more subtle. I have a Fender JP90 ordered in 1990 when I read about it! I have a 1984? I think. Not got my records on here!!?? It can become...

I'm sorry this chap has been banned. Hope no one minds me replying anyway? here goes! I hear what has been said and I agree regarding the Jones pup; But there are a lot of stunning bass pups around that would have done the same job cheaper. Regarding the instrument as a whole, the bass world...

Very cool and honest bass. Thats a blindingly pretty bass! I just finished mine. It was saved from an angry wife in France. I'm resigned to the fact, one I can never prove it was once original. Two what was not burned was ruined by an over enthusiastic professional Car Sprayer who sanded it to...

Sorry to be slow getting to this. I'm not getting notifications of a message? Yes his work is clean. I cannot imagine Bloodstone UK could screw up winding a pup. If your looking for an authentic Fender 51 pup buy it from a Fender dealer on Ebay. If your concerned that Fender has changed the...

I have 2 Starcaster Semi Acoustic bass. They both weigh the same 4.1 kilos. Why would they be different. All Starcaster bass use 250k pots. Caps are 47k. The pickups are world famous for their amazing loud wide frequency sound. They are the same pups you find in the 72 telecasters and everyone...

I have Seed jazz 94.000 JYen about 4kUSA $ and thats from the company web site so l think there may be some Chinese clons around. You ask them direct from factory how much? This is not a big company. If they were selling these at 150 US $ thay would starve. I love my Seed Jazz. Craftsmabship...

Just seen this old post and had to chip in how much I love the old single coil P Basses. Squire or Fender don't make no difference. It's what you can do with it that matters. I had (Sold it in 2017 a 54 P Bass) and played it along side my MIM Mexican 54 reissue. Think I bought the MIM in 92 or...

It's FugiGen ! Good Luck

42mm what you would normaly get from a p bass. Jazz is 38mm and P/J range from 38 to 42mm. I have a MIJ 62 RI P Bass that has a 38mm nut but left the factory stamped Fender Precision Bass with a Jazz neck! S/N E966### Good Luck

NO Difference unless your originals were completely worn out broken. As CTS plus or minus 20% often leaves you with a difference of 40% between pots. Some pots are frequently way outside the 20% tolerance. I often find Bourne pots have better tolerance. So just because they can be cheaper don't...
