    I have the perfect guy for your repair. His name is John Dretto. Message me and I’ll send you his number. Great guy, and does amazing restoration work. Also reasonably priced. He repaired a vintage tweed fender case for me a few months ago. You can search him on line also. He’s located in NY. Cheers

    TI short scale flats on a vintage Gibson bass problem. Any help is appreciated.

    I just bought a set of TI short scale flats for my 1966 Gibson EB-2D. The silk ends are too far past the tuner. Any ideas on how to remedy the problem? Any help is appreciated. Cheers I had labella low tensions on it previously. Those for perfectly but I’d love to try the TIs

    Ernie Ball should totally have this color available again. Don’t know what they are waiting for.

    Anyone playing a 60s spec P bass as their Number 1?

    Whose signature bass is it going to be?

    Anyone playing a 60s spec P bass as their Number 1?

    Yes! My main bass lately is my 64 P with TI flats. Gets the job done everytime. I always reach for it. Cheers, here is a pic of it:

    Yes! To my knowledge they were a factory color but very rare.

    What is the best bass you’ve ever played?

    My 58 P bass. It has it all. History, playability, weight, build quality, neck, and most importantly tone. Best bass I’ve ever owned.
