Update: As I mentioned several weeks back, I decided to buy it, and it's finally arrived. The seller shipped via USPS so it took a month to arrive (!!!) but it was worth the wait. This is THE bass I have been looking for...

Guitarist bias, man... Fender sells tuning machine mounting screws in sets of twelve, but Fender basses need sixteen. I had to buy two full sets for my bass and ended up with eight extras... so, to spare others the trouble, I am selling the extras. I have two sets of four for sale. Buy a set...

Chrome Hipshot KickAss 4 string bridge in excellent shape, very clean. Brass saddles. I took this off of a bass I bought (I prefer a plain old bent plate bridge). Comes with everything pictured: bridge, mounting screws, box, manual. $60 shipped to lower 48

3 Hipshot HB2 tuners + 1 BT2 Xtender. 70s Fender style. They're in excellent shape, very clean. All screws are included; not sure if original to the set but the main thing is that the four for the Xtender are flat top (the rest are round top). No ferrules included. Posts are 9/16", or 14mm...

PRICE DROP! Here is your standard G&G vintage style case made for Fender, with a not-very standard orange lining. Vibes! This came with a Vintage FSR Jazz Bass I bought, but I am more of a gig bag guy. Based on the age of the bass it came with, I would say this is less than a decade old. It...

I sold it for reasons other than that, though. You could try swapping the pickups, I think they're the main culprit with the noise issue despite their name.

I sold it...

FSR = Fender Special Run. Basically Custom Shop in bulk for dealers.

Oh I wasn't even thinking about those, but the CV 70s one that came out a couple years ago. It's pretty much a five string Geddy Lee (minus the bridge, which I replaced on my GL for a regular bent bridge anyway)

I had one and sold it, an American Deluxe. It was very good but kind of more than I needed (and I don't play five string all that much); the plan was to replace it with the much less expensive Squier CV fiver and pop an Audere in it but this FSR threw a wrench in that plan. I'm toying with the...

Yeah, that's my goal, to end up with the right ones that each bring something unique to the table. My other two are a fretless MIJ and a Squier CV James Johnston which was my first j-bass so it's staying right there...

That's reasonable, for sure. On the other hand, these would be two of four (and I've bought and sold three others in the past four months)...

Well, I pulled the trigger and am awaiting its arrival... and decided to indulge and keep the Geddy anyway because it's just so good and fills a particular role quite well. So, the GL will be my aggressive and gritty rounds bass, the FSR my classy and smooth flats bass. And then... I must stop...

Thank you. Yea, they aren't particularly deep so I am hoping a home remedy is sufficient.

Of course. Here's a photo of what I'm dealing with.
