Next week or when I have the time, I plan on taking my bass to a local shop for a set up. Slightly unrelated, I'm worried because it's a kit bass I built and to put it nicely, it's finish is very DIY "my first project" kind of thing. I love it because it was the first project I've completed by...

Thanks everyone!! I appreciate it!

Is it possible to physically not be able to play due to physical limitations? Okay. Time for a sob story. I was born severely premature. 22 weeks, five days. Weighed 1.04lbs. Had a grade four brain bleed on the left side of my brain, effecting the right side of my body. This will be important...

Hey everyone!! Thanks so much for your replies! I ended up getting it figured out thanks to everyone, especially after I realized about the foam pieces. And yes, it was the plastic wire that connects the pick ups. I just re-soldered it. Thanks!

I've been putting together a kit guitar. Saying I am a novice at these things would be a understatement. I was attempting to solder my p bass pick ups to the electronics and the wire that connects the two broke. So the pick ups are no longer connected by that little short wire. Is this a...

I'm building a kit bass because I was tired of being left out of the cool basses just for being left handed. I made a thread about it. It's painted now and I'm installing the hardware. Well the tuning collars/bushing don't fit. And from looking at my Squier jazz bass they should sit nice and...

So it's been awhile. I'm working on the final stages of the painting process at this point. It kinda looks terrible, but I kind of love it because *I* made it if that makes sense. Kinda like being a kid and making your mom something and she says it's great even though it's got glue spots and the...

On the contrary imo. I grew up writing lyrics very early on. My main goal was to scream in a metal band. Once I realized I wasn’t very good at that, only then did I pick up bass. For me, lyrics are the bread and butter in a song. I always break those down first before moving through each...

Can I have a number? Last name I was on this forum about 10 years ago I was a woman.

Turns out, yes. That’s exactly what it is. Kinda thinking I should have traded all those high school and college English classes for a shop class or two. I don’t think I’ve sanded anything ever left alone attempted something like this. I’m learning new things constantly though which is fun...

Since I’ve had the bass since August and it nearly November, I finally decided on paint. Well, dye. I watched a crazy amount of YouTube and kept coming back to BigDGuitars’ channel. I loved what he was doing with Angelus leather dye so I decided to go with that. Being lefty and very...

I’ve had the kit from BYO Guitars since August. I took a gamble with this brand because it was the only site with a lefty P bass kit available at the time and there weren’t hardly any testimonials as a more popular brand such as Solo Music. Opened it last night finally. Obviously there’s some...

TL;DR—Looking for information on spray painting a bass kit (unfinished) with DupliColor and which grits of sand paper to use throughout the process. First off, wow. I have not been on the website in YEARS. What an upgrade. I’m still rocking the same gear though. Which brings us to this post...
