    Replacing Bass Necks...Help Required

    Hey guys, So I've been meaning to switch the necks on 2 of my basses, my jazz bass which came with a maple neck would look pretty sick with the rosewood neck of my P bass (and vice versa). Normally this sort of job wouldn't really present any problems until I noticed that the maple neck...

    Fender Decals On Non-Fender Basses

    Personally I've never done it, mainly because I don't know how to and wouldn't really want to mess up an otherwise nice headstock decal on my SX. That being said though, even if I was a hands on guy and did know how to do it I probably wouldn't anyway, Ive gotten many compliments on how good my...

    15 Year Old Strings Still in the Box good or dead?

    I would say that it depends on the conditions in which they were kept. If you left them in a drawer or perhaps in your case I think they should be fine, maybe not 100% but definitely not dead.

    $60000 song?

    1.5 million? how can she possibly pay that. It takes an average person 30 odd years to repay a $300,000 home loan, this is 5 times more. Do they honestly expect to see this money, its pretty silly.

    Why are strings so expensive?

    A cheap set of strings here in Australia will set you back about $40, plus the 1 1/2 half hour travel time to the nearest music shop. I've had the same set of strings on one of my basses since I bought it nearly 5 years ago. I only wish strings would cost $20 :D

    New to SX...What do I need to do

    Ive had mine stock for over a year now, haven't even changed the strings, partly due to not having money haha but the bass does what I want it to do straight from the box

    Think I am just a Two Jazz Bass Guy

    I really only play 2 basses, an SX P and a 5 string. Being a university student I don't really have the cash to just "try" other basses so I tend to stick to what Ive got.

    Worst fake I've seen in a while

    say what you will but i actually feel for this guy, he got hustled big time. I think when he originally bought it he was new to bass hence the bad deal he made. The guy who sold it should feel ashamed, I mean seriously the guy scammed this poor kid and conned him just for a few hundred...

    When do you know ?

    Ive heard that the best way to learn and improve is to play with people more experienced than you. I played with a band after playing bass for only a few months....it helped me quite a lot

    Any ideas on how to mark cables?

    I used to do this when I used expensive cables. I just stuck a piece of paper on the end of the cable with my initials on it, then I wrapped it in clear tape. You can't see it from the audiences perspective and if you do it right it looks really neat.

    how important is a spare bass ?

    I have 3 basses, but only take 1 to a gig. I suppose if you take care of it and maintain it properly (which I do) you don't really need to worry about having a spare.
