It wasn’t a bass but a few months back I ordered a 75th Anniversary American Vintage ii 1954 Stratocaster because I played one somewhere and really liked it. When it arrived the bridge pickup was either dead, or the selector switch was dead- no sound from the bridge. Sent it back and got a...

I’d be down for a Squier Nitro finish Vintage series @ $1000

I just purchased a vintage edition satin p-bass by mail from zzounds and this bass is better in all respects than all the MIM Basses I’ve owned and better than one of my American Standards. The pickups sound good; the electronics are quiet and the tone pot is actually great; it stays in tune...

I wouldn’t know if it was or wasn’t by just looking but here is the best pic I could get thanks everyone for your input and replies.

it’s not a satin finish on the body, gloss rather. Yet the neck is ( to me at least) obviously slightly different in its profile to other Player Jazz basses. it’s definitely Pau board. I think it’s just probably a straight up weirdo-in-a-good-way Player series off the line anomaly type of...

Hey everyone. This isn’t a post to brag about how great my Bass is, but really to get some info or opinions if possible as to what’s up with my Bass. So I don’t know how to else to say it but I suspect my Player Series Jazz is significantly different from other Player Series Jazz basses...

Theses player series basses are amazing. I have a jazz. Ordered a p as well but send it back, not because it wasn’t great, because it was, but because I think I’d rather have another Jazz so I can keep one with flats and the other with rounds.

I just bought one from Guitar Center. It was the floor model but without asking they offered my a 2 year protection plan, which is great because my main concern was the screen dying and then the amp being useless. This amp is amazing in so many ways. I’m gonna save up and see if they release...

Awesome customer service. I just purchased my first set of Labellas, 760fl, love them and am now glad I purchased strings from this company.

I had them on a white Ibanez Sr with black hardware. Looked killer. Felt not so great, sounded just OKAY for a little white followed by then sounding like dead rounds in a not-so-cool kinda way. Then flaked and didn’t even look killer anymore. Just my experience.

I guess maybe I could push for one, but I’ve also returned or exchanged my fair share of items at guitar center that were not exactly how I got them and never was asked a single question about it. I guess rightly assuming that within a 30-45 day trial period a guitar isn’t going to remain mint...

Im already a club member via the jazz I purchased. An exceptional example of a jazz at any price point, tbh. It was an amazing instrument. However I returned it for Player series P because as amazing as it was, 90% of what I do and am really into is nailed by a P-bass. Anyways, I got my player P...

For me it was necessary to start out by thumping the living crap out of my bass in order to “get it”. Now I don’t have to hit it quite as hard to get the desired effect. Oh, and spending a lot of time thumping and actively listening. Pure technique practice. I still cannot use it in a...

I’m hearing the main bassline as: F G# G E F G# Db F#

Hi everyone. There is a particular song, “Que Lío”, by Hector Lavoe, that I’ just started learning. The song seems to be in F Minor, but the main bass line has an E natural and F# in it. At least, that’s what I am hearing when I play along wearing headphones. Maybe my ear is just way off. If...
