Thanks for all the advice! I appreciate it!

Thanks! It sounds too easy! I may have read the manual incorrectly. It reads, "Turn the nut clockwise to correct an under bow, counterclockwise to straighten an over bow." I took "over bow' to mean too much curve in the neck causing high action. Maybe I read it backwards. Thanks again!

I'm hoping for a little insight from the experts! One of my bass guitars is a Ricky 2017 4003. I broke it out to play after not playing it for almost a year. The action was unreasonably high and when I looked further, I saw the neck was bowed. This is my first double-truss rod guitar so I...

Of course you're a mental patient. You're Steve Harris' biggest fan! I'm his second biggest fan, so move over.

Sounds pretty cool!

Very nice. I bet it sounds great!

I'm sure you've already fixed the issue by now, but my 62 reissue is ready to cut through anything! I have no problem with the mids and highs.

I'm wiping the tears from my eyes as I read this thread. :( When I was 14, 1973, I bought a brand new Earth B-2000 stack when I lived in NYC. I used the money I saved from my paper route to buy it. It sounded good and I thought the black tuck & roll looked awesome. I played in a band with...

Flea is a wonderful bassist and I watch his playing everytime I see him. It helps that I like the music RHCP plays. Victor Wooten is a wonderful bassist, but I cannot watch or listen to him very much because I don't necessarily get into his music. Herein lies the cruxt of the debate IMHO...

Fantastic Maiden video! I laughed my ass off! Now it's perfectly clear... Protest is good!!! But one question. Why do the gig if they know it will be lip synced? Is it a record company mandate?...Contractually obligated to appear on TV?

Bass Guitar Bubba. My guitarist is into nicknames for each band member so he named me 'Bubba D'. The 'D' came from a song we were rehearsing in which I always seemed to want to go to another note instead of the D. I dropped the 'D' and added Bass Guitar before the 'Bubba' and came up with my...

I found this vid on YouTube of Jefferson Airplane in 1967 performing live on the Smother's Brothers Show. Jack Cassady has a stuffed animal lying across the neck at about the 12th fret. Anyone know what the deal is? Wouldn't that mute the strings? Is it some weird-ass 60's thing...

I bought a 5-string P bass and the spacing wasn't an issue for me. In fact, the string spacing is a little closer than on my 4-string P bass. Overall, the neck is a little wider, but not so much that it's an issue. I have fingers that are (what I believe) to be on the shorter side and the...

Quite a spin on the larger "70's" headstock! LOL
