    Well imagine if you put “ Yamaha” on it, everyone would believe it. Fun thread!

    Fender Aerodyne Club!

    You could raise the pick up or put new foam underneath it if that doesn’t affect the playability.. Otherwise, I would suggest these guys they can make you anything, and even so that it uses the existing screws on the Pick guard. Zero Mod maker of no mods custom thumb rests for bass It would be...

    This is a very weird scenario, different color neck

    As someone who has worked with wood a little, that looks exactly like prolonged UV sunlight exposure. If that bass is a few years old, there’s a good chance. It was in a position where the sunlight hit it for a long time and the stand or something else created a demarcation line. I was...

    Mesa 410 v Barefaced SuperTwin T

    Also keep in mind these notes: BF is quite thin, depth wise, which can help if you car’s trunk is your moving space. Mesa is widely and easily available today, BF will be several months in lead time. I paid no additional duties on my ST in Sept 2024 but today, who knows. The tilt back wheels are...

    SPECTOR® Owners Club

    What’s nice about the analog ones is that you can usually adjust them with a small screw in the back. If you haven’t done this before, you just wrap it in a damp washcloth for a few minutes and then set it to 95 and you’re good to go.

    Hi Has anyone seen a new 4 string Icon NS-2 in the wild yet? I see they are shipping 5 strings but the USA stores and online don’t have any 4s yet. Very curious to hear the weight ranges and opinions on the fretwork etc.

    New MESA BOOGIE release - MESA/Boogie Bass 800D - 800W Bass Amp Head

    For me, the vertical orientation in the better padded bag, coupled with enough room for mic, cords, earplugs, iPad, small band sign, and cloths make it an easier load in for me, in hand or over shoulder.

    New MESA BOOGIE release - MESA/Boogie Bass 800D - 800W Bass Amp Head

    I think it does, especially because this bag allows you to put the amp on its side therefore, the switch switches and the knobs really don’t take the brunt of any impacts, and the padding is sufficient on the sides. It’s a good solution like he said above, if you can pack your own stuff And take...

    The RSTs are between 6.5 and 7 lbs often, but the others are indeed all over the place!
