    Fender PBass Deluxe Neck + Standard Body = Possible?

    Hey man, thanks for the input! I wanted to own a P-Bass with the 21st fret. However the Deluxe body has a PJ configuration, which I don't like. Thanks for helping me out! I'll stick with the traditional 20-fret P-Basses!

    Fender PBass Deluxe Neck + Standard Body = Possible?

    Hello everybody, I think the title is self-explanatory. But rephrasing: I wanted to buy a PBass Deluxe neck and mount it onto an American or Mexican standard body. Is it possible to do it so? I know that the Deluxe neck has 5 screw holes (against 4 in standard neck) and 21 frets (against 20 in...

    Fretless Bass Tone (MusicMan Sting Ray)

    Hello TB'ers. How you doing? I've come across this video on YouTube: I was amazed with her fretless tone. I'd like to know if this is genuinely a MusicMan bass tone (because I've never had the chance of playing one) or if it's possible to get closer to it with a Jazz Bass (which I own)...

    Rage from a Tech21 Sansamp customer

    Unfortunately that's a problem hard to solve. I also live in Brazil and when I buy stuff in the USA, I prefer to buy brand new gear rather than used ones, only because of the (virtual) impossibility of returning in case of malfunction. Regarding Brazil's tax policies, indeed our taxes are...

    Frustration, unfortunately (Fretless Jazz Bass)

    Hello everybody. Let me tell you my story. My first bass (and the one I learned to play with) is a Fender Jazz Bass Southern Cross (Made in Brazil). It was made in 1995 and in 2001 I had the fretboard replaced in order to become fretless. Then I learned how to play a fretless bass. After...

    Britpop bass players.

    Sorry for re-living this thread, but a great Britpop player is Suede's Mat Osman. The basslines of So Young and Heroine are very cool.

    The appeal of active electronics

    Thank you for the answer, Frenchy Lefty! I use a Darkglass B7K and for some songs I don't use the overdrive (slower and mellower songs), just the EQ. Indeed I gives more clarity, punch and growl for my bass (a P-Bass with Fralins and flatwounds). I think that's great when playing live!
