That's just ridiculous . Looks like they made you the correct body for a Wal style Banjo but not for a Wal bass guitar This guy is a Luthier ?. This is amateur ..If he has any integrity he should make you the correct body..It's his screw up .It's not rocket science to get Wal body dimensions...

Would a skim of Car Filler or builders bog be any good and not shrink ?.Just wondering as Epoxy is pretty expensive if you are working to a budget

Thanks indeed..the information is much apreciated ..take it easy ..Billdylan

Wow thats a beauty...just wondered what bleach you used for the body top, something specialised for wood work or just common or garden house bleach ?..Thanks

Just a general question guys ..is the preamp in the Musician bass an integral part of the sound or would a modern pre amp ie an aguilar or such type be an improvement or at least a worthy replacement ?..I have a beaten up 2924 and the preamp is only 2/3rds there and with broken bits , should I...

Hey there Buddy..Don't expect any help from Bass mods...There is no follow up support..I bought a few of their older style Pre Amps and received no reply to multiple emails asking for wiring diagrams and general help...they sure are not a Bartolini or Aguilar when it comes to support ..I would...

For the member wondering about defretting an Ibanez RB 850, I bought an old Ibanez 850 that had the frets filed down to make a fretless ..it sings beautifully ....I have'nt found an 1980s bass neck that isn't first class in construction..just good necks fretted or fretless I think..

Wow , nice score ..It's amazing what pops up every now and then ..I picked up a new black Ibanez musician Bridge on the same Ibanez cardboard backing.Good to know they are still out there ..

I had a TC 450 amp and RS 210 and RS 212 cabs...The amp was not in the ballpark of 450 watts, it struggled on some gigs I did. I found it hard to get a sound that I liked, it had its own voice .I Changed to a Aguilar 500 Pow !! What a difference.I love the cabs, the amp was vastly overrated. I...
