But, he has a wife and family! It's a little difference to being single or having a partner who could wait or come with you.

I'm looking for the fret size of the 2011 American Standard Jazz Bass, and i don't mean in terms of "medium jumbo", i'd like the four digit number-size. Also, if anybody knows the four digit number-size of the frets on the Ernie Ball SB14, that would be helpful. It's a long shot, but if...

I'd still like to know why instruments such as this, with obvious chipping and some (others) are practically falling apart, are apparently "worth" so much?

Hmm, daimn! I was tossing up between the fralins and antiquity IIs and i ended up buying the fralins. Am now thinking the 60s custom shops will be a good alternative to the antiquity IIs when i'm ready to go that route ;)

I know what you mean. Occasionally, i find myself playing, and it actually sounds like somebody else playing! I've almost learned "is this love" by Bob Marley.

Fender Custom '60s Jazz Bass pickups: Invalid Link Removed

Howdy, Just an inquiry about Warmoth slim taper necks. As some of you know, i am looking for a JB neck that has a flatter profile (at the back of the neck). Don't really like the modern C shape. Question: does the slim taper effect the tone in any way? What sort of wood should i be looking...

I'd get a MIM Fender. About $400.00 in your country :p

Awesome... I'm lovin' "Bubba and Booze" ;)

This is a ridiculous poll... I will not participate!

What sort of pick-ups would you recommend then Nev? Maybe something responsive? I think the MIA ones are too tame. smcd, lol.. To clarify the random tones statement, i don't mean random notes, i mean there are variations in tone sometimes that make notes sound sightly out of tune. Thought it...

I just had a little tinker on my SB and *bham*, you don't have to strike the strings hard at all to get an a relevant tone out of it, which is an advantage. However, you fail to get that warm, really FUNKY, grindy tone out of it, which is what most bass players want eventually. So, flexibility...

I guess i mean it's pretty sensitive to finger pressure. I know this could be a technique problem, but the active bass seems super sensitive to any variation in finger tone, which could be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on genre. When i play my active SB through headphones, it is...

Why does everybody say that? Some people miss out on learning. You are assuming that each thread on the same topic will get the same responses, or that the same users that were around when old threads were created, might still be around. It's a pretty limiting attitude, there is always room for...
