To say that everybody counts, and not specify in what circumstances, is a bit of an overstatement. I would say counting, while practicing, can be a great way to solidify whatever it is that you're practicing. If you're struggling with a tricky riff, forcing yourself to slow it down and do it...

I have a ric 4003 that I've owned since high school. There have been times in my life when it hasn't been with me for months on end, through college, life changes, etc, and I can pull it out of the case after one of those stretches and it's just exactly as I left it. Hard case helps.

Does this fit a normal jazz bass? Or are the junior basses smaller in scale all around? Thank you

Hi there, Potentially interested and have a few questions: Is the back of the neck finished or "raw wood"? Has this been previously installed on a bass? How much set up does it need, in terms of fret work or nut slot adjustments? Thank you

Well in that case

This is what I'm wondering as well. Did this bass come from the factory unlined?

My Fender American Professional. Classic P bass sound all day long, and a B string the rivals any Lakland I've played. You can play the B all the way to the end of the fingerboard without any issues. IMO, getting that good of B on a Fender family instrument is hit or miss. I think I won the QC...

Will check it out, thanks!

I know this thread is literally 10 years old, but…. I’m curious how the finished product came out! it looks like you were quite successful with what I would have called the hard part, cutting off the headstock. Just curious of you have any pics of the finished bass. Also, any tips or things...

Problem solved, thanks for the hints guys. First I bought the multimeter that eastcosteaddie linked. Then I bought that giant pack of caps from Amazon, ranging from 0.1 to 4.7 mF. I tried a few out, and was able to tune it down to 1 mF being just right.

Honestly didn’t even know it was possible to go above 0.1, at least for guitar, biggest I had seen. I’ll look for a 0.5 and give it a shot. Thanks!
